Dazzler and The Flash

 

As much as I like Andy Serkis as an actor, I was disappointed to never see a fully formed Klaw in the MCU.  I don't know how they would have gone about explaining his signature comic book appearance, but it would have been cool to see.

Doc Samson and Two-Face

 

Harvey Dent indeed needs therapy, and who better to administer it than a super-strong shrink?  It would certainly be an interesting process to watch play out.

Blue Beetle & Booster Gold and Power Man & Iron Fist

 

These are two of my favorite buddy teams in all of comics, so it is long overdue that I have them meet up on the blog.  While one team is literally all about business, the other likes to have a little fun while they are crime fighting, which might make for a fun dynamic.

Invaders Vs. Solomon Grundy in: "The Battle Above!"

 

I wonder If Solomon Grundy was affected by the Comics' Code Authority.  He was technically a zombie after all, which were against the Code for some time - prompting Marvel to present stories about "zuvembies".

Solomon Grundy previously met The Invaders in STF #3623, and faced off against Captain America in STF #1430...

Hawkman and Union Jack

 

It's interesting how tastes in art change over the years,  As a kid, I remember being very put off by the work of Frank Robbins when I first saw it on a Batman story.  As I grew older and began to expand my horizons beyond the traditional DC and Marvel house styles, I started to understand the appeal of his dynamic style with exaggerated physicality and thick heavy lines. His comic strip work really won me over.

Wolverine and Black Lightning in: "Barfight!"

 

Alas, no Wolverine or X-Men announcements at D23 this week.  I've heard repeated rumors that Marvel is looking at Taron Edgerton for the role.  I wasn't sure about that until I saw some recent pictures of him, where has clearly put on weight and is currently very physically fit.  I don't know if that's for another role or if he's prepping to play Logan, but he's definitely starting to look the part.

Wolverine and Black Lightning previously battle Sentinels in STF #3412...

Tin, Tintin and Rin Tin Tin

 

Here's another idea from the mind of Blog Patron Bob Greenwade. I get lots of suggestions for character pairings where the only connection is a similar sounding name, and they don't always seem to make a lot of sense to me.  Sometimes the incongruity is what makes a cover fun though, so I thought I would finally give this one a try. I hope Bob approves of my choice of villain for this tale!

Moon Knight and The Elongated Man in: "Don't Deny the Reaper!"

 

This marks the 10th appearance of The MK/EM Team...

Moon Knight is one upcoming Disney+ series that I really have no idea about what it is going to be like.  There have been so many different takes on the hero in the comics that it's hard to say what angle they will go with.  Oscar Isaac is a great actor (he was my pick to play Hawkman), so I am sure he is up to whatever is asked of him in the role.  Ethan Hawke is set to play the main antagonist, but it hasn't been announced just which villain that will be, so I don't know what to expect there either.  Hopefully we'll get more of an idea as to how the series will take shape soon.

Dazzler and Green Lantern

When I was a kid, I saw Dr. Light as one of the premiere DC villains.  Unlike most super-villains, he wasn't confined to a single superhero.  He got around, taking on Green Lantern, The Atom, The Teen Titans, The JLA and more.  It's too bad that he later became somewhat of a joke, and what was done with him in Identity Crisis still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.  I'd like to see a Rebirth version that undoes a lot of those missteps.

Black Orchid and Spider-Woman

I've enjoyed tales featuring these heroines with mysterious pasts, so I might be fun to see them share an adventure together.  Each has had very different takes throughout the years, depending on the writers involved, and it is always interesting to see what their latest incarnations are up to.

Booster Gold and Dazzler

While doing my interview with the Clobberin' Time podcast the other night, this pairing was suggested.  At first, it seemed like an odd choice, but when you consider that both of these characters embrace the media side of their superhero careers, it actually makes sense and could be a pretty fun story.  Thanks to Matt Fisher for the inspiration!
