Hela and The Black Racer

 

Hela has been one of the best realized villains in the MCU, and I have heard that she may make a return in one of the upcoming Avengers films.  Just rumors and speculation at this point, but if Marvel truly wants to bring some characters back to life, the involvement of the Goddess of the Dead could assist in that endeavor.

Black Racer and Ghost Rider

 

Here's a team up that I feel is a natural, and I am surprised not to have seen it requested before.  Add Kirby artwork into the mix, and you have the makings for and action packed issue.

Black Panther and The Black Racer

 

It's time for another all-Kirby classic.  Jack Kirby was great at presenting big action, big personalities, big machines, big concepts and big stakes - so a mystery involving the king of an advanced society and an emissary of death from New Genesis would be right in his wheelhouse.

Speed Race Vs. Black Racer

 

The Speed Racer movie is one of those films that seems to have gained a cult following after being considered a failure upon its original release. I remember not being crazy  about it, but enough time had passed that I thought I would give it a re-watch.  Hoo boy, I didn't even make it all the way through this time.  The over use of green screen effects was even more garish than I remembered. I still think there's a great Speed Racer movie to be made, but this wasn't it for me.

Domino and The Black Racer

 

Domino was a character that was getting popular just as I was getting out of the X-Men titles as they were getting a bit too convoluted for me. I knew that she had good luck abilities similar to Shamrock and Longshot, but not much else. I'm not sure how accurate the depiction in Deadpool 2 was, but I enjoyed Zazie Beetz' performance and her powers were visualized very well - I hope' she'll be back when Deadpool comes to the MCU. 

Black Racer Vs. Deadpool

 

It sounds like DC's New Gods movie is not moving forward.  While I was not a fan of Ava DuVernay's A Wrinkle in Time, I was still curious to see her take on Jack Kirby's Fourth World characters.  Maybe once DC's top tier characters are better established in the DCEU, the residents of new Genesis and Apokolips can be revisited.  At leas we got a tease in Zack Snyder's Justice League.

Black Racer Vs. Thanos

One change that the MCU made for Thanos was his motivation.  He wanted to eliminate half of all life in the universe to restore his twisted sense of balance, while in the comics, he was trying to impress the living embodiment of Death, who he was obsessed with.  I can understand why the change was made, that might have been a tricky concept to pull off.  Then again, Cate Blanchett's Hela was realized perfectly, perhaps the Goddess of Death could have taken Lady Death's place.

Black Racer and The X-Men

With so many X-Men movies already (and about to be) released, Marvel will want to make sure that their X-Men films  have their own identity and stand apart from what has come before.  I think the best way to do this is fidelity to the source material.  Let's see more comics-accurate costumes which the Fox films only just began to present.  Most importantly, do the X-Men timeline correctly this time around, with characters introduced in the proper order featuring age-appropriate actors.

Black Racer Vs. Quicksilver

Well before characters like Guy Gardner pr USAgent hit the scene, Pietro Maximoff was the first hero I can remember thinking of as kind of a jerk.  Sure, there was Namor, but in those days I considered him as much of a villain as a hero. Quicksilver was always clearly on the side of good, fighting alongside The Avengers, Inhumans and X-Men - but there was no getting around his abrasive personality.  It was cool to see that not all superheroes had the same cookie cutter type of good guy personality, and it helped with the the group dynamics of the teams he operated with.  I did like the explanation later on that he could never fully shut off his speedy perception, so the world always seems in slow motion for him, leading to a state of irritation.

Black Racer and The Avengers

There have been rumors of an Avengers member or two being killed off in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, and with so many characters involved, there are plenty to choose from.  Most of the main players are coming to the ends of their contracts, so this might be a way for someone like Chris Evans or Robert Downey Jr. to bow out of the franchise.  Then again, The Vision is powered by one of the Infinity Gems, so he well may be in for a rough time when Thanos comes looking for it.  Or maybe Hawkeye, who we all though was going to get it in Age of Ultron, will finally meet his maker.

The Black Racer and The Silver Surfer

Only Jack Kirby could come up with a space faring character on a surf board and make it cool!  Kirby then went a step further and created an interstellar character that traveled via skis... and rather than treat him as a joke, he was one of the most grim and powerful members of The New Gods pantheon.  Other creators' attempts at giving a character a popular mode of transport met with less success... Rocket Racer and his skateboard never really took off and Dazzler soon ditched her roller skates.  His ability to make wild concepts work is another reason that Jack Kirby will always be at the top of the list for character creation.
