Challengers of the Unknown and Rocket Raccoon
The Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy may be completed, but I hope that sometime down the line we see the team again. I liked seeing Rocket Raccoon take his leadership role, and it would be cool to see him calling the shots on a mission.
Now they know they are on 'borrowed' time! Wait till the Challs have to pay the interest on that borrowed time!! Next Rocket meets the Legion of Super pets ....and walks away!!
I do hope that the new Guardians show up in Phase Seven, even though that'll be the Mutant Saga by then. Rocket, Groot, and Kraglin have gone through reasonable story arcs, but Cosmo is only about halfway there, Adam's just started, and Phyla is still an unknown quantity.
The Challengers don't seem to be appearing at their best here; like, they're all reeling in fear while Rocket charges into the fray. Way to represent humanity, 'Challs!'
Maybe those aren't the real Challs, then. Maybe it's four Skrulls or Space Phantoms impersonating them. It might even be four blue-skinned Kree (in "pink-face") looking to steal some of the High Evolutionary's genetic-accelerating technology in order to "jump-start" the continuation of their racial evolution! Assuming, of course, that this adventure occurs _before_ the original Supreme Intelligence found a canonical way to do just that.
Yep! I just confirmed it. Before the Supreme Intelligence instigated the so-called "Destiny War" in order to latch on to the Forever Crystal, the pre-Ruul Kree used to refer to fair-skinned off-world humanoids (particularly Caucasian Earthlings) as "dirty no-good pinks."
Going through the COTU team-ups on here had several shockers for me. I haven't realized that the team had 6 Fantastic 4 related covers under their belts. The other was Sue R. being the only female they've met so far. I'd like to see them team up with Thunder Riders (a.k.a. Team America), PowerPuff Girls, Power Pack, Avengers (Black Widow, Hellcat, Mockingbird, Tigra & Mantis) and some S.H.I.E.L.D members in the future.
I'd also wonder what they'd think of some the wandering Hanna B. groups like Speed Buggy & crew, Mystery Inc., Josie & the Pussycats, Jetsons, & the Space Ghost crew.
Watch that welcoming committee turn out to be a robot dragon piloted by a hyper-evolved Great Dane and four meddling kids (= teenage goats).

ReplyDeleteInteresting! Makes me wonder if we'll be honored with a sequel featuring the Knights of Wundagore vs. the Legion of Super Pets?

ReplyDelete@Anon1259: they could also be Durlans working for the Vegan Spider Guild as tech-runners.
ReplyDeleteNah! Save that one for Spidey-meets-the Challs.

I wonder if they'd feel up to the challenge of working alongside Deadpool or the Badger.
