Captain America and Doctor Fate

 

This one would be like one of those hidden gem Golden Age tales that I discovered as a back up tale in a 100-Page Giant or Annual back in the day.  It was cool as a young reader to get a peek at comics from an earlier era.

Doctor Fate and The Sub-Mariner

 

I liked that in the Golden Age, Doctor Fate would sometimes forego his mystical abilities and just give the bad guys a good old fashioned beat down like Wildcat or The Atom would.  Who needs to tap into Nabu's magic when a right cross will do the trick?

Doctor Fate Vs. Baron Mordo

 

Chiwetel Ejiofor is a talented actor, but he didn't get much to do in the first Doctor Strange movie as Baron Mordo.  The post credits sequence set him up for bigger things in the sequel, and hopefully that comes to pass.  Still, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness looks to be jam packed with  The Scarlet Witch and other heroes joining in, not to mention the rumors of another villain like Mephisto or Nightmare in the mix.  Let's hope there is still room for Mordo to get his due.

Space Cabbie and The Silver Surfer

Rumors are that Marvel is busy casting the role of Norrin Radd for an upcoming solo Silver Surfer movie.  I have been thinking for a while that this is the role they wanted Keanu Reeves for, but it sounds like they are going in another direction (maybe Reeves felt the part was to similar to what he played in The Day The Earth Stood Still).  That latest actor I am hearing for consideration is Rami Malek.  I think that could work, we'll see if they make an announcement soon.

Iron Man and Doctor Fate

Iron Man has had a lot of armor variations in the MCU, and I have to say that I like his most recent Avengers: Endgame look the best of all of them.  It is the closest it has appeared to his classic bronze age armor that I loved so much as a kid.  I'd have gone full on old school with the hip-discs, shoulder pads and a full widow's peak helmet, but I was still very happy with the latest design.

Eternity and The Justice Society of America

There have been lots of big big moves from DC lately, with the return of properties like Neil Gaiman's Sandman, Alan Moore's Watchmen characters and the heroes from his ABC Comics line... but still no sign of the classic JSA.  Their reintegration into the DCU has been teased for a while, but I am still waiting for the announcement of a new series with a top-notch creative team.
