Dick Tracy and The Atom (Part One)

 As a short redhead growing up, I couldn't help but feel a certain kinship with Al Pratt.  I was glad to see him eventually prominently featured in All-Star Squadron. This tale is only Part One of a Three-Part Epic, so make sure you come back tomorrow for the next chapter!

The Atom and The Thing

 

Al Pratt seems to have a similar personality to Ben Grimm, and I think that they would get along.  That is, unless they were manipulated into battle by a creep like The Wizard! 

Justice Society of America Vs. Apocalypse

 

This bad guy has been around for centuries, who's to say he wouldn't have vexed the JSA at some point?  Definitely fodder for an oversized issue!

All-Star Squadron Vs. Ultron

 

We've all seen Pym Particles being used for time travel by now - so who's to say that Hank Pym's deadliest creation could not get hold of some for some decades-spanning shenanigans? It might be cool to see how the Squadron reacts to the modern villain crashing their timeline.

Justice Society of America and The Silver Surfer

 

James Gunn has stated that his new DCU will begin with a world already populated by super-heroes.  I'm hoping that provides an opening for a proper JSA that is set during WWII, with some members being sent forward in time eventually.  Even if they don't want to commit to a movie, the JSA would be a great candidate for an animated show.

Justice Society of America and Captain Britain (Part One)

Frim the casting of Superman: Legacy, it appears the first official movie in James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DCU will present a world that is already filled with superheroes.  What does that mean for the JSA?  Will they have existed in this timeline?  Ideally I'd love to see a proper World War Two era JSA movie at some point.  Throw in  some kind of suspended animation at the end and you they can bring whatever JSA'ers they want into present day adventures as well.

This is only Part One of a Two-Part Epic, so make sure you come back here tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion!

 

Thor and The Atom

 

Al Pratt was a short redhead that was pretty much the least powerful member of the group he was associated with... it's no wonder that I identified with him!  He may not have had a great rogues gallery or the greatest costumes, but I could never help rooting for the guy.

Daredevil meets The Flash & The Atom

 

There are a bunch of different artists on this one.  Al Pratt here is by Jerry Ordway & Mike Machlan - Ordway's renditions of the JSA members are always a treat to see, as is his art on anything.  Here's a couple more pieces of his original art that I was lucky enough to pick up several years back (from Green Lantern: Secret Files and Zero Hour):

Justice Society of America Vs. Kang in: "Chronal Detention!"

 

Presenting part One of a Three-Part Epic!  A blurry image of Kang from early promotional materials for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has made the rounds, and it looks promising.  It's small and he is only seen in a reflection - but it does seem to look like Kang will indeed have the classic appearance from the comics.  I enjoyed Jonathan Majors in the final episode of Loki, and I think he will be even better here.

Make sure you come back tomorrow to see where the story goes in Part Two!

Kang first encountered the JSA in STF #2294...

The New Warriors and The Justice Society of America

 

Judging by the characters recently and about to be introduced, it looks like the MCU is just going to skip right by The New Warriors and go straight to The Young Avengers.  I suppose that is understandable, as Avengers is the marquee name, but I still hope Marvels' 90's teen team eventually get their chance at live action. You just know that Speedball would look cool displaying his abilities.

Justice Society of America and Squadron Supreme

 

Since the Squadron Supreme is inspired by the Justice League of America, it would be interesting to see them interact with the heroes responsible for inspiring that team.  You have to wonder how long it will be before Kevin Feige decides to introduce the Squadron in the MCU.  I can imagine Warner Bros wincing if they get their own feature before another JLA movie is put together!

Captain America and The Atom

He might not have had the greatest costume or much in the way of powers, but I always had a soft spot for the original Atom, Al Pratt.  What can I say, he was a short redhead - for some reason I identified with him.  I always liked that despite being one of the less powerful members of the Justice Society of America, he never hesitated to rush into battle.  I also really enjoyed his depiction in the Len Strazewski/Mike Parobeck JSA series from the 90's, as a cantankerous senior citizen still willing to fight.
