Nightwing and Puck

 


Nightwing previously faced off against The Ringmaster with The Roustabouts in STF #2410, and with Nightcrawler way back in STF #68...

So, let me guess this straight. Nightwing was under the Ringmaster's hypnotic control the first two times. Once, alongside Nightcrawler; then, alongside the rest of the Roustabouts. But, now, he and Puck are joining, voluntarily?! I don't buy it.

I think it more likely that Nightwing is still under his control and has used him as bait to entrap Puck. Part of a scheme to collect and nullatronically hypnotize as many superheroes as possible (to enhance the ranks of his law-breaking troupe)!

But, even if I'm wrong, it's nice to see Princess Python making a second appearance, here. :-)

I love this Big Top blast! For me, only the Enforcers come close to matching the Circus of Crime for gritty street-level mayhem.

I can't add anything to what Bob and Anon719 have said. So, I'll just make a request. How about Johnny Thunderbolt (post-New 52 version of the Golden Age Johnny Thunder) vs. Zzzax?

With Red Hood in the background??

All right! With the Roustabouts, Puck would fit right in. The membership could be flexible, like the Defenders, but with a sideshow theme in stories and villains. With a healthy dose of occult and mystical adventures mixed in.

Nah! That's Maynard "the Ringmaster" Tiboldt, himself. Most likely a miscoloration by the original cover's artist.
