E-Man and Wildfire

 

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!

As 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.

This is, most likely, just a distraction from E-Man's effort to recruit Wildfire into The Nuclear Option.

But 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?

That's better than amalgamating R-Man and A-man...as noodle sellers!

Animal 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.
