James Bond and The Hulk

 

I guess if Felix Leiter wasn't available, 007 found another American ally to assist him in his latest mission.  I'd say this one is bound to have some considerable collateral damage!

Mr. T and Chaselon


 These two have been allies ever since they joined forces in Task Force T back in STF #1082, and I thought it was time to give them a solo adventure - complete with a ring for Mr. T.   Who will be given a Green Lantern ring next?  You can find out right here tomorrow!

Doctor Mid-Nite and The Hulk


 Can it be?  Does Dr. Mid-Nite really have what it takes to cure Bruce Banner's condition?  And even if he does, are any of his instruments strong enough to work on the big green guy?  The answers are only sixty cents away!

Kolchak the Night Stalker Vs. Mephisto

 

Kolchak has faced off against all kinds of paranormal creatures, but he may have finally met his match this time around.  Let's hope his years of investigation have prepared him to deal with such an epic encounter.

Man-Bat and Captain America

 

James Gunn's DCU seems to be the place for Batman's more outlandish villains and allies to appear.  We already have Dr. Phosphorous in Creature Commandos and a solo Clayface movie is in the works as well.  I really hope that Man-Bat will finally get his live action debut in a DCU project down the line.

Kolchak: The Night Stalker and The Phantom Stranger

 

The Phantom Stranger is a character that I would love to see join the DCU.  He may not get his own movie or series, but he could be like a spooky Nick Fury in that he could show up in other character's projects at key moments to offer guidance or assistance.  I bet it would be a fun role for an actor to portray.

The Joker and Mighty Mouse

 

Uh oh - A Jokerized Mighty Mouse could cause quite a bit of havoc in Gotham City!  I'm sure that's exactly what the Clown Prince of Crime is hoping for.

Orion and Princess Leia

 

Space-faring freedom fighters with dads that want to conquer the galaxy?  Yup, these two have plenty in common.  I think there would be a ton of story potential in putting them together.

Darth Vader and Darkseid first encountered each other in STF # 2184, and then again in STF #2343 and are both members of The Overlords, as seen in STF #2490...

Firestorm and The Human Torch in: "World's Fair Time Warp!"

 

Firestorm first met Jim Hammond way back in STF #585, and I thought it was high time to revisit that pairing.  When I saw the chance to make it an all-Alex Ross cover, I was even more inspired.

Ebenezer Scrooge and The Spectre

 

Merry Christmas!

I hope all who visit here are spending today with those you love!  It has been another year of great suggestions, kind words and encouragement, all of which I have truly appreciated.  A special thanks goes out to the Patrons, your support has helped keep this blog alive and now marching towards it's 14th year - that means the world to me.  Have a wonderful and blessed day today, everyone!

The Atom Vs. The Kingpin

 

An oddball match up this time around to be sure, but I don't think that Wilson Fisk is the type to back down from any hero.  Ray Palmer's may have incredible abilities, but the Kingpin's resources are vast, there might be a fun battle to witness here.

Martian Manhunter and The X-Files

 

There has been talk of an X-Files revival in the works.  I hope it's a continuation and not a reboot, I don't have much interest in seeing new actors portraying Mulder and Scully.  A new set of agents in a current day X-Files department could work though.  Let's hope they actually have some answers and closure to the cases they investigate though - The first show left way too many things unresolved.

Captain Marvel Vs. Godzilla

 

Dwayne Johnson seems determined to have Black Adam and Superman battle it out on the big screen.  While that would be cool, and has happened in the comics, I still think a fight with Shazam should take precedence.  That said, given the delays in Shazam: Fury of the Gods, the rapidly aging "kids" in the cast who would be in their late teens and 20s by the time shooting begins, and the ongoing shakeups at the DC Film division, I have serious doubts that a third Shazam film will be made at all.

The Hulk and The Blues Brothers

 

I recently watched The Blues Brothers again, and I am impressed at how well the movie holds up.  Of course the musical performances are all amazing and timeless, but the performances and comedy still entertain.  There are so many memorable lines from the film, some that I had forgotten came from it.  I still get a kick out of Jake and Elwood's tiny apartment, not too far off from some of the places I stayed in NYC back in the day.

Power Man & Iron Fist Vs. The Joker

 

I think this could be an interesting match-up.  I'm sure the Joker's unpredictable antics would keep the Heroes for Hire guessing.  Mostly I'd like to see what kind of dialogue would flow once Luke Cage cornered the Clown Prince of Crime, there's definitely some fun potential there.

Aquaman and Star Trek

 

After being so pleasantly surprised by Aquaman and really enjoying his Fast and Furious installment (best of the series in my opinion), I decided to give some other James Wan-Directed movies, and I am glad that I did.  I really enjoyed Insidious and The Conjuring films are some of the best haunted house movies I have ever seen.  Malignant was a bit violent for my tastes, but it was so off the walls bonkers and included an absolutely amazing chase sequence, so I couldn't turn my eyes away.  After all of that cinematic goodness, I can't wait to see what he gets up to in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Nightcrawler, Wolverine and the Green Lantern Corps

 

Presenting the conclusion of our three-part epic!  Let's hope the combined forces of all of these heroes is enough to turn back an attack from The Empire.  Marvel Studios has mastered the cinematic universe and now they are about to dive headfirst into the multiverse... how long until they take the next step and have Marvel heroes cross over into other Disney-Owned properties like Star Wars?

X-Men and the 7 Soldiers of Victory



This story takes place shortly after the events of STF #1700, where the 7 Soldiers found themselves trapped in the wrong decade and educating at the Xavier institute. But which student will have to return with them? Make sure that you come back here tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!

Legion of Super-Heroes and Quantum Leap


 I didn't watch enough of the episodes to know if Sam Beckett ever leapt forward past the span of his own lifetime, but I'm sure he never went to the 30th Century.  Future jumps would have been cool to see, though, and made for some fun stories.  Especially if he leapt into the body of a certain Captain Jonathan Archer.

Flash Gordon and Princess Leia

 


I wonder how much of the upcoming Obi Wan Kenobi Disney+ series will focus on the Skywalker twins.  I've heard that Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse will be back as Uncle Ben and Aunt Beru, which indicates that a young Luke will be in there somewhere.  Will we also see scenes from the early years of Leia?
