Metamorpho and 3-D Man

 

Uh oh!  It looks like The Grandmaster and Mr. Mxyzptlk are back for another round of their superhero championship!  Who will with this round of The Infinity Wager?

Mister Miracle and Hawkeye

These two are usually seen together as teammates on The Roustabouts, and I thought that I would give them a side mission for this issue.  Let's hope they can turn the table on these two wagering rascals!

 

Kid Flash Vs. Speed Demon

 

Between all of the time travel shenanigans, multiversal adventures and company-wide reboots, I'm not quite sure what the back story of the new Wally West is.  I'm glad they kept his costume so close to the original red & yellow version, one of the best designs in comics. 

Man-Bat and The Abomination

 

This would be an interesting match up.  Man-Bat has agility and flight at his advantage, while The Abomination has his incredible strength.  No matter who wins, it would be cool to see them join forces against The Grandmaster at the end of the story. 

Adam Strange and The Defenders

 

It was only a matter of time before Adam Strange joined The Defenders for an adventure.  After all, he is the brother of Stephen, The Master of Mystic Arts - in fact, this marks the seventh appearance of The Strange Brothers on the blog.

Ultra the Multi-Alien and The Silver Surfer

 

Ultra The Multi-Alien is definitely a Silver Age C-lister, but as a kid, I thought he was pretty cool.  Maybe it's because he looks like something that a kid might have come up with.  We used to play a game where we would fold paper in three and pass it around with each of us kids drawing a head, torso, or legs on it.  Then you would unfold the paper and see what kind of crazy character was created.  Ultra reminds me of one of those.

Adam Strange and Beta Ray Bill

 

Thor: Love and Thunder is supposed to start filming this week, and we still have no confirmation on whether Beta Ray Bill will show up.  It seems like a jam packed movie already with Jane Foster, Gorr The God Butcher, Valkyrie and the Guardians of the Galaxy already in the mix, would there even be room?  I imagine he would be a CGI creation, so his inclusion would be easy to keep under wraps.  Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised.

Wildcat Vs. Muhammad Ali

It looks like Yolanda Montez, the second Wildcat, will be playing a supporting role in the upcoming Stargirl series on the CW network.  Hopefully that means we will get to see Ted Grant in action as well, at least in some flashback scenes.  He's been well known as a trainer of heroes in the comics, and I'd love to see that aspect reflected in his live action appearances.

Thank you to Marc Tyler Nobleman, comics' historian and Patron of this Blog, for suggesting this match up!
