Professor X and Racer X

 

For some reason, C-list villain Doctor Double-X has had some requests for an appearance on the blog.  The choice of heroes to face off against him seemed obvious to me.  This issue probably would not have flown off of the stands, but I think I would have been curious enough to want to read it.

One might even say Xstatic?

I guess if they got into trouble with the not so good Doctor they could call for X-Man to help.

Carycomic said...

Ex-Static?! You mean, Virgil Hawkins is coming out of retirement? ;-)

Would they send him a Cable-gram?

A most X-cellent match-up! The only thing that might X-ceed it in creativity? A three-way free-for-all between Gamora Zen Whoberi and Artemis of Bana-Migdahl vs. Heinrich Augsburg.

I would've bought this just for the novelty of it. It's borne of the same spirit as Tin, Tintin, and Rin Tin Tin.

In this case, though, I imagine Dubbilex is feeling a bit left out.

Maybe Ross can team him up with X-23.

Doctor Double X? And still no Mangog??????

@Anon1114: maybe he's on a permanent X-clusion list.

@my namesake: maybe he'll be in one of the back-up stories for STF Super-Spectacular #5200. Like, say, "Mangog vs. The Death-dealer From The Depths!"

Carycomic said...

Nah! Give him someone easier to fight. Validus of the Fatal Five, for instance.

Carycomic said...

Or even Godzilla vs. Mangog!

Great cover. I'm glad you didn't call it "X-Rated".

And the ones who play Kal-El and Kara in SUPERGIRL have monikers that sound more like stage names for "adult cinema stars."
