Nova Vs. The Joker

 

Oh boy, this can't end well! Still, It would have been fun to read about from the safety of my Earth Prime living room.

The Hulk and The Demon

It was pointed out in a recent comment section that I had not yet paired Etrigan up with The Hulk.  I was surprised that I never  had put them together, and agreed that they were overdue for a meeting.  Something tells me that they would actually get along pretty well, as they both truly enjoy letting loose against hordes of enemies.  Pity whoever got in their way!

Blade and Green Arrow & Black Canary

 

Thank you to Blog visitor Wolfhammer for suggesting a Blade/Green Arrow pairing.  It's a pretty natural one that I am surprised I had not done before.  I figured that I would let Black Canary join in on the fesivities.  As much as I like both her and GA as solo characters, I think they work the best when they are together.  It always bothered me that writers seemed determined to break them apart in the comics.

Machine Man and Cyborg in: "The Extinction Algorithm!"

 

I'm not sure what The Vision's status will be following Wanda/Vision on Disney+, but whatever becomes of him, the MCU definitely has room for another robotic character.  I say it's time to bring in Machine Man!  He has the same appeal as Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation - an artificial man that longs to understand what it is like to be a real one.

Machine Man and Cyborg previously met in STF #2725...

Black Panther Vs. Deathstroke in: "Regicide Play!"

Sometimes when a villain gets really popular, attempts are made to make them more sympathetic and turn them into more of an anti-hero.  Sometimes that works for me, but I've never really gotten into seeing Slade Wilson try and be redeemed.  I viewed him as downright evil when he first appeared in New Teen Titans, and that's the way I prefer he stays. 

As we reach the mid-way point of out Five-Part Epic, the connections are starting to become clear, don't forget to check out Part One and Part Two... and make sure you come back tomorrow for the next thrilling installment in our story!

Iron Man and Mr. Terrific

I am very intrigued about the new Terrifics series from DC.  I'm a big fan of Mr. Terrific and Plastic Man, and Metamorpho is one of my all-time favorite heroes, so it will be great to see them in a regular series again.  The addition of Phantom Girl is welcome as well - I thought that she was one of the cooler members of the Legion of Super-Heroes and I am curious as to why she is out of her time.  Jeff Lemire is a talented writer and the artwork by Ivan Reis and Evan Shaner that I have seen so far looks great to me.  I definitely plan to check the book out once the trades come to Comixology.

Hawkman and Nova

The Nova Corps have been established in the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, so I am hoping that we'll get to see Richard Rider on the big screen in the future.  A film where Rider is already an established hero and has to show newcomer Sam Alexander the ropes would be a cool way to go.

Cyborg and The Falcon

When I think of my favorite scenes involving Cyborg, what my mind most often goes to in not an action packed moment, but a quieter scene from Victor Stone's civilian side.  In the "A Day In The Life" issue of New Teen Titans, early on in the series, Marv Wolfman and George Perez depicted Cyborg visiting with a group of kids who all had prosthetic limbs and offering them support and comfort.  That always stayed with me, I really liked seeing the different type of heroism that he displayed.
