Space Ghost and Firestorm

 

Uh oh, Mr. Universe is back to menace the heroes of STF once again! This time though, he's facing one who has met him before - Firestorm battled him alongside Mar-Vell in STF #4735.  Hopefully that experience and the help of Space Ghost will give him an edge this time around.

  1. SPaaaccee Ghooosssttt!! YES!! Dealing with so many energy constructs, may give S.G. the boost to deal with this problem. Firestorm may see some new fighting styles here.

  2. I think it's safe to assume that the hope expressed by Robotman 2 was dashed (and the entire Synthetic Six irreparably smashed) back @ STF #5110.

  3. It's beginning to look like the only one who might be able to clobber Mr. Universe for good is the Death-dealer From The Deep!

    2. Nah! He's gonna be too busy battling Thor and GL Godzilla.

    3. Only if Mangog becomes a Red Lantern!

  4. Mr. Universe looks very familiar but I can' place the face, is that Giffen's art work and from where? the only reason I ask is because he's so mysterious and shows up with some of the strangest heroes.

  7. Random thought: Ben Grimm and the Phantom Stranger visit Hawkins, Indiana for a story titled "Stranger Thing."

    1. Then, how about a sequel where they visit Eerie, Indiana? Picture Ben Grimm holding a crying infant in his stony orange hands while the Challs ask the titular question...

      "HOOSIER DADDY?"

    2. Aw rats -- the title's taken. Maybe just "Phantom Stranger Things"?

    3. Or "An Unkindness Of Strangers" guest-starring Overmind's arch-enemy?

    4. Or the Power Pack visit Hawkins in "The Strangeness of Kinders."

    1. But, I'd much prefer the Wacky Racers visit Hawkins' nearest neighboring town in "Eerie Go, Again!"
