This is another cover that required some background building before I could add in new elements. Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Oh, how the original antagonists must've had their butts handed to them!
ReplyDeleteAs for your revision of the original cover? Brilliant! I don't know what reason Wildfire may have had for coming all the way from the 31st century.* But, as for E-Man? I'll bet the High Evolutionary made the mistake of "conscripting" Teddy the Koala for the Knights of Wundagore! Yet, even if I'm wrong, this still makes a wonderful prequel to STF #5047, from two months ago. Keep up the good work, Ross!
*Maybe he was on a recruiting trip for the LSH a la Adventure Comics v.1/#247.
I'm not familiar with "E-Man", but maybe I should be given that's been one of my nicknames.
ReplyDeleteThis is, most likely, just a distraction from E-Man's effort to recruit Wildfire into The Nuclear Option.
ReplyDeleteBut say... I wonder if there's any way to "amalgamate" E-Man with Prince Adam, to turn the combination into "hE-Man"? The result could later team up with Iron Beetle and Green Devil!
Another interesting combination possibility: E-Man and X-Man. I could just visualize them going through other potential teammates for an "Alphabet Crew":
"How about N-Man?"
"That's a start."
"There was a guy called I-Man."
"Maybe."
"I could get W-Man."
"Hard pass."
"How about R-Man?"
"Forget it."
"K-Man?"
"The rapper? No way."
"Elliot Ness? He's a G-Man."
"No."
"Etrigan the D-Man?"
"You did not just say that."
How about amalgamating R-Man and X-man...as a prescription delivery service?
DeleteAnimal Man was originally just called "A-Man, the man with animal powers." Harvey Comics had a B-Man, apparently because "Bee-Man" was too long to write. There was a golden age hero named Captain V. And let's not forget Metamorpho the L-M-N Man.
DeleteThat's better than amalgamating R-Man and A-man...as noodle sellers!
ReplyDelete*process
ReplyDeleteNo, progress.
ReplyDeleteThe proverbial antonym of Congress!
Deleteoh, the rehearsals that had to be done to get this show just right! You have a fantastic staff, Ross, all 1 of them!!
ReplyDeleteAnother rarely seen LOSH member gets a solo team up on here. Yea!
ReplyDeleteAnother rarely seen Marvel villain (not named Mr. Universe) gets his due. Yea!
E-Man is a bonus that I had completely forgotten about. Maybe he should join this universe's Forgotten Heroes & battle some of this universe's Forgotten Villains (the earliest ones that haven't returned yet).
How about Savage Dragon facing off against the Blue Devil??
ReplyDeleteBut, teaming up against a common enemy (like Mr. Universe)? Or engaged in a mistaken identity slugfest against each other?
ReplyDeleteLove this cover. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someday we can see Vamfire (E-man's sister) take on Sparkplug (Flare's sister).
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see the High Evolutionary take on Gnort Gneesmacher of the Green Lantern Corps.
DeleteOr the High E. taking on the Heroes Of Lallor with the focus on Evolo Lad. "Heroes High" practically writes itself.
ReplyDeleteHow about Duplicate Boy vs. one of the Totalitarians?
