I loved the X-Men and The New Teen Titans back in the day, but what if that crossover happened a decade or so earlier? Maybe we could have had Neal Adams on art chores, that would have been something to see. The Original Titans and First Class X-Men previously met on the blog back in STF #789.

I guess they HAD to fight the InevitaBeast eventually.
Aqualad and Angel on special assignment?😉
"Inevitabeast"? Is that an o.c. menace a la Mr. Universe and the Death-dealer From The Depths?
I do certainly hope to see more Inevitabeast here. It seems like it'd be something generated in a Time War, either Kang/Time Trapper or Gallifrey/Skaro.
And if Booster Gold were to gather a team of time travelers, an interesting cover would be said team having to protect Mr. Universe from the Inevitabeast, on the premise that the death of Mr. Universe would mean the death of the universe.
Unrelated proposal: The Crime Syndicate of America in a fight against the Squadron Sinister.
The monster was a one-off by Neal Adams, I just came up with the name.
I already figured as much; I'd just call it a shape-shifter by nature.
Looks more like the Morticoccus germ fro Kamandi.
Aqualad and Lass or only available an hour a day remember
DC's silver age creators hated child superheroes, and I'm not sure why. Maybe they didn't fit into Julius Schwarz idea of SciFi. Certainly his Batman's became non-sensical when he made the Duo fight aliens on weird planets then Dennis O'Neil packed him up and sent him to college so Bats can have an oval around his logo.
Marvel of course, leaned into teenagers capture an older audience and the two companies leapfrogged each other as print went into decline and costs increased.
The Teen Titans were silly - they really didn't know how to write for them at DC. The old guard had to step aside when the hippy's came along to buy comics because guys like Infantino disagreed with them and they were out of touch.
But X-Men wouldn't last either. Kirby did 12 issues, including the only collaboration he and Alex Toth did in their career with Toth had to finish Kirby's 12th issue.
X-Men's revival that got them firmly into the bronze age finally (outside of Spiderman) when they decided to make comics for college age readers and clone Legion of Superheroes. DC did the same with the New Teen Titans and saved the company from its implosion.
