Phantom Stranger and Thor

A tale of Gods and Monsters to be sure.  It's interesting that the body hopping Ultra-Humanite wound up in such a hairy form, given that he was Superman's original bald headed foe - before Luthor lost his locks.

Steel and The Mandalorian

 

I missed The Mandalorian and Grogu in theatres - my local cinema closed down and now I'm about 40 minutes away from the next closest one.  Even though I thought the third season of the series was a step down from the first two, I do enjoy the characters and look forward to checking out their new adventure once it hits Disney+ in a few more weeks.

All-Star Squadron and Woverine

 

Logan would have already been in operation when the All-Stars were formed, so it's not out of the questions that they would cross paths.  Hos healing factor would be a big help against that pesky Spear.

Nova and Red Tornado

 

Here are a couple of heroes that have never gained mainstream attention outside of die hard comic book fans.  Maybe if they are included in their respective cinematic universes down the line, that will change. 

Professor X and Wildcat

 

I have featured a bunch of covers in which Ted Grant is training heroes, and I thought I would try one where the instruction was going the other way around.  Let's hope that Wildcat's mental muscle is up to the task!

The Synthetic Six (Vs. Mr. Universe)

 

For this, the third appearance of The Synthetic Six,  I needed an opponent to truly challenge them.  Who better to fit the bill than STF's arch super-villain, Mr. Universe, making his 17th appearance?

Superman and Mary Jane

 

A scene like this could set up quite the divergent timeline.  It would be interesting to watch unfold.

Has anyone checked out Superman and Spider-Man's recent real world crossover, and was it any good?  I'm waiting for these new DC/Marvel crossovers to be collected in digital and then I plan to check them out, but I'd love to hear your opinions.

Superman and Spider-Man have had a history on this blog as well - They were last seen together sporting their black costumes, Superman gathered heroes to find a missing Spidey...  There was a movie of their classic crossover... once they underwent an identity crisis... and once they decided to have a car fight.

Hawkman and Luke Skywalker

 

When Marc Tyler Nobleman, comics' historian and Patron of this blog, suggested crossing Hawkman over with the Star Wars universe, I had to go back and check because I figured I must have done that before.  Alas, I had not, so it was high time to correct that.  I imagine that Thanagarians are not big fans of The Empire.

Birdman and Hawkman in: "Breaking the Mind-Taker!"

 

Birdman met the Silver Age Hawkman in STF #1345, and previously shared an adventure with the Golden Age Hawkman in STF #1532.  When I saw the chance to use all Jerry Ordway artwork, I figured it was time to feature a third outing with the winged heroes fighting side by side.

Infinity Inc. Vs. The Masters of Evil

 

Filming has completed on Avengers: Doomsday, and the movie is in the editing and special effects stage.  Word is that a first look teaser will be included in front of the next Avatar film, with lots of speculation as to what it will show.  My favorite guess is that the movie may undergo a last minute surprise name change - to Avengers Vs. X-Men!

Captain America and Johnny Thunder

 Johnny has a genie and a super-soldier as back up so I think he'll do OK in this situation.  Still, I'd be interested in reading about it, especially to see the young hero's reaction to working alongside Cap.

Nova and Stargirl

 

The Stargirl series was a lot of fun.  I'm not holding my breath waiting for the character to show up in the DCU, though.  I assume that it will take a few years to establish a Justice League, let alone introduce the JSA and their spin-off characters.  As for Nova, Frankie Raye will probably be considered too close to Shalla Bal to be a candidate for entry into the MCU any time soon.

Coming tomorrow:  STF #4900!

Fantastic Four and Power Girl

 She would make a formidable addition to the team!  Power Girl and She-Hulk have a history on this blg.  They first met in STF #1482, They faced the Psycho Pirate in STF#3743, and were last seen battling Mr. Universe in STF #4580...

All-Star Squadron Vs. Ultron

 

We've all seen Pym Particles being used for time travel by now - so who's to say that Hank Pym's deadliest creation could not get hold of some for some decades-spanning shenanigans? It might be cool to see how the Squadron reacts to the modern villain crashing their timeline.

Mary Jane and Lois Lane

 

Lois Lane is one of those characters that actresses really have fun with.  and there have been some really enjoyable depictions over the years, my favorites are Noel Neill, Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher, Dana Delaney Erica Durance and Bitsie Tulloch.  Everyone seems to love the choice of Rachel Brosnahan as the latest cinematic Lois, and she does look great in the teaser trailer.  I can't wait to see what she brings to the role.

Squadron Supreme Vs. The Anti-Monitor

 

Something tells me that if there were to be a crisis in the Marvel Multiverse, it would star with the Squadron Supreme's Earth. It would be interesting to see if they would have fared any better against the Anti-Monitor's forces than DC's Crime Syndicate did.

Crusaders of Camelot

 

This is a team concept that I have had rattling around in my brain for a while, and I am glad that I finally got around to putting it together.  It would be cool to see the adventures of a superhero team from the Middle Ages.

Infinity Inc. and Captain America

 

Cap is used to working with the next generation of heroes, so it would only be a matter of time before he crossed paths with the Infinitors. He's met Solomon Grundy a couple of times on the blog - first a solo match up in STF #1430, and then an adventure with The Invaders in STF #3623... 

All-Star Squadron and The Invaders (And more!)

When I was a kid, the 100-Page comics and Annuals that featured classic reprints were my introduction to the characters and creators of the Golden Age. It was cool to see the building blocks of the heroes and stories that I had been currently enjoying.  I thought that I would pay homage to those specials for this Anniversary Issue.

Here are the full sized images of each story: 

The Spectre and Agatha Harkness

 

The trailer for Agatha All Along has dropped, and I'm not sure what to make of it.  While I quite enjoyed Kathryn Hahn's portrayal of  Agatha Harkness in WandaVision, I don't know if she warranted a mini-series of her own.  We'll see if the series gains any traction or if it will be another Echo-style spinoff that is forgotten as soon as it airs.
