Power Pack and Robin

 

It's only fitting that these kids cross paths with comicdom's first sidekick.  I'm still waiting to hear details on the planned Batman: The Brave and the Bold movie, and whether Dick  Grayson will plar a role, as Damian is the rumored Robin of that story.

Moon Knight and Hawk & Dove

Being the youngest of 5 boys in my family, I knew all about battling brothers growing up.  So the bickering between siblings that I read in their adventures rung true to me.  At least they still worked together in the en. Poor Moon Knight had to bicker between his own multiple personalities.

Banshee and Blue Devil Vs. Mongul

 

This marks the fourth appearance of the Cassidy Cousins.  They  faced their unlucky curse head on in STF #4414, They met up with their Uncle Ted in STF #4282, and first were featured together in STF #3875...

Batman Vs. The Green Goblin in: "Breaking the Vow!"

 


Norman Osborne enjoys going after a hero mentally as well as physically, so I can see him pulling out all the stops to mess with Brice Wayne's head.  Batman first faced off against The Green Goblin on an MS Paint B&B cover way back in 2011...

Katana and The Swordsman


 The  Swordsman was introduced in the Disney+ Hawkeye series, and I hope it isn't the last that we will see of him in the MCU. We saw Katana in the DCEU, but she was very underutilized.  Let's hope the character gets more of a chance to shine down the road in the DCU.

Black Canary and Ms. Marvel

 

I'm a little surprised that I haven't paired these two blonde heroines together yet.  Something tells me that they would get along well.  Maybe they would even have the makings of a World's Finest type of team.

The Vision, Frankenstein Jr. and Red Tornado

 

This is the first time that either has met Frankenstein Jr., but The Vision and red Tornado have crossed paths before in The Lost Issues - They battled The Construct in STF #2054, They investigated "who stole humanity?" back in Issue #1272 , merged programming Issue #971 and first met in an early MS Paint cover in Issue #44

The Guardian and The Guardian

 

Evert since I had these two appear together in a back up tale for STF # 665, I have received requests for them to get a full issue to themselves.  It took a while, but I finally got around to doing just that.

Firestorm and The Beast

 

Two of my favorite heroes duking it out with demons for 22 pages would be enough incentive for me to pick up this issue.  Ronnie Raymond works well with intellectual types like Hank McCoy, so I see this as a winning combination.

Edna Mode and 4 Famous Co-Stars

 

If you are going to wear a big initial on your costume, just be sure you are aware of who you are standing next to!  Let's hope these guys can get some fashion tips from superherodom's top designer!

Jonah Hex and The West Coast Avengers

 

We've seen stories where Hex moves ahead in time, but I like it when heroes from the future come back to visit him as well.  I remember really liking the two part story in Justice League of America #198-199, where the leaguers met a bunch of DC's Western heroes.  I would be cool to see the Avengers do the same.

Power Pack and Green Arrow

 

Oliver Queen has mentored sidekicks before, but never anyone as young as the members of this group.  That might make for some interesting interaction between the gruff archer and the wide-eyed youthful heroes.

The Flash and Doctor Strange (Vs. Abra Kadabra!)

 

With James Gunn's DCU featuring a universe where superheroes have existed for a long time, I really hope that we get a proper Justice Society with Jay Garrick, Ted Grant, Alan Scott and the rest.  I'd be happy to see them as older mentors or in their prime in a period piece... or why not both?

Doctor Strange met the Barry Allen Flash back in STF #728...

The Falcon and Vixen

 

Their earliest looks might not have stuck around for long, but these two were heroes from the start.  It might be fun to read a tale of them meeting up just as both of their heroic careers were beginning.

The Avengers and Kamandi

 

Look, I have the same questions about how Kamandi was able to get the upper hand here that Chronos has.  But that's just what would have made me pick this issue up off of the shelves - just to see what shenanigans that Kang is up to this time around.

Power Man and Elongated Man

 

Elongated Man's back-up tales that would appear in Detective Comics and other titles were among some of my favorites. The mini mysteries they presented were perfectly suited for the shorter page count and I liked the chemistry between the Dibny's.  We need more of the Stretchable Sleuth!

Green Lantern & Green Arrow and The Inhumans

 

It was always fun to see street level hero Oliver Queen's take on the goings on when he would get into some type of cosmic adventure with Hal Jordan or the JLA. I think a tale like the one above would provide plenty of opportunities for him to make some interesting observations.

Captain Marvel and Black Lightning (Vs. Annihilus!)

 

For Part Two of our Three-Part Epic, we now see which member of The Outsiders the Mar-Vell needed to help complete his mission. Make sure you come back again tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion!

3-D Man and Triplicate Girl

 

One hero has the power of three men in one and the other can split herself into three.  I think that these two would get along, despite being centuries apart.

Power Man & Iron Fist Vs. Solomon Grundy

 

Luke Cage is referring here to the last time he an Iron Fist tangled with Solomon Grundy, a case with Captain Hero in STF #3856.  Power Man also had a solo battle against the undead mobster in STF #1648...
