The Micronauts and Nightwing & Flamebird

 

This is just the kind of crazy circumstance that I would expect to see  in a story about The Bottle City of Kandor.  I'd think The Micronauts would be right at home there, there must be a good reason that they want out.

Very clever idea.

My first guess would be some kind of b.t.s. alliance between Brainiac and Baron Karza. One question, though; is this the Kal-El/Jimmy Olsen version of Kandor's Dynamic Duo?

@Anon903: off-hand, I'd say yes.

great cover with so much going on. the other question, How did the Micronauts get in a bottled city? So much potentials!!

I never did like Nightwing and Flamebird from the Silver Age but I did like their update during the New Krypton storyline. Micronants is always a welcome from me.

Also I wonder if this has something to do with their last appearance meeting the Legion.

Hey I'd read that! I hadn't seen Nightwing and Flamebird in ages.

Maybe the Enigma Force teleported them via the Phantom Zone?

We couldn't have gotten Van-Zee and Ak-Var without Kal-El and Jimmy O, first.

Probably. If they traveled to the 31st century via the Microverse (and Alpheus Hyatt's Time Pool @ Ivytown University), it makes sense that they tried returning home the same way. Only for the Enigma Force to reroute them for some reason!

Even though it's a bottled city on Earth, Superman had Kandor with Krypton's gravity. I wonder how the Micronauts dealt with the difference? Jimmy had a rocket belt and other things to help an Earthling.

Arcturus Rann had the flight pack that earned him the name "Space Glider."

team Arcturus Rann with Adam Strange!

Already done. See STF #2318 from August of seven years ago.

Now, if only we could get fulfillment of Bob Greenwade's second-dearest wish (Phantom Stranger vs. Ghost Rider).
