Elongated Man and Wolverine

 

Not a pairing that might immediately come to mind, but one that I would love to see, as Ralph Dibny is one of my favorite everyman heroes, and I like seeing him matched with different characters.  Besides, Logan has plenty of mysteries in his life, who's to say he wouldn't call upon the stretchable sleuth for some assistance?

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.

The Badger and Wolverine

 

When Tom Brennan, a Patron of this Blog, suggested this pairing, I had to check and see if I had gotten to it yet - it really does seem like a natural.  To my surprise, I hadn't - so it was time to remedy that situation.  Thanks for the idea, Tom!

Nightcrawler and Storm Join The Legion of Super-Heroes

 

A big part of the appeal of both the LSH and X-Men for me was the wide array of cool costumes their respective rosters were given.  Dave Cockrum was the artist responsible for many of the best outfits on both teams. Indeed,  Storm and Nightcrawlers' looks were adapted from unused Legionnaire designs of his, a bit of trivia that inspired me to make this cover.

Huntress and Hawkeye in: "Sister... Hacked!"

This is the sixth appearance on the blog featuring these heroic siblings.

They first appeared together in STF #505...

Next, they had a twisted family reunion in STF #1387... 

which continued into the next issue, STF #1388...

Then they visited their parents in STF #1877...

And the last time, they ran afoul of gangs in STF #2625...

In fact, I think it's time they get their own label:  Hawkeye/Huntress...

Harry Potter and Tim Hunter

Like a lot of comics fans, I thought, "Hey, that looks familiar..." when the Harry Potter books and movies became a smash hit.  I read and enjoyed The Books of Magic which introduced Tim Hunter years before, and it certainly seemed like an inspiration for the new wizard in training.

Thank you to David Welsh, a Patron of this blog, for suggesting this magical meet up!

Green Arrow & Black Canary and The Shadow

My first exposure to The Shadow was not from movies, comics, or pulps - but the radio.  My father would get collections of classic radio shows for us kids to listen to at night on camping trips.  My favorites were Mystery Theater, X Minus One, and The Shadow.  You just had to love the menacing laughter that they gave to the title character.  There was no need for visuals when those audio dramas sparked so much imagination.

Concrete and Thor

I'd love to see Concrete in other media.  Though it stars a near indestructible character, his tales revolve more about emotion and human interaction than action sequences, so a Concrete film would definitely stand out among other comic book movies.  It would still demand a visionary director though, to show how concrete perceives the world with his enhanced senses p Paul Chadwick did a great job illustrating that aspect and it would be very cool to see it translated to the big screen.

Starfire and Lilandra

Lilandra had such an odd design - I never could quite figure out if that was her hair or a headdress - but for some reason I always thought she looked kind of cool.  I remember liking her relationship with Professor X, I wish that had gone on a little longer.

Wolverine and The Spectre

Logan looks to be a very different take on Wolverine than any past movie appearance.  I read Old Man Logan in the comics, but the film appears to only have a few similarities, telling it's own tale of an older Wolverine.  It's hard to tell though, the trailers have not given away much, which is a good thing.  Let's hope that Hug Jackman's final turn in the role is the most memorable.

Static and Storm in: "Jump Start My Heart!"

I am glad to hear that Static and the other Milestone characters will get another shot, as Milestone Media is gearing up for a relaunch.  I was a fan of the character in comics as well as animation and still think that he, Icon, Hardware and the rest of  the heroes from Mileston have a lot of potential.

Static and Storm first met in STF #664...

Samurai Jack and Wolverine

Marvel's direct-to video animated offerings have been a mixed bag.  I have liked a couple but none have had the re-watchability of many of DC's efforts.  One exception to that rule is Hulk Vs. Wolverine/Hulk Vs. Thor.  The animation in that double feature seems to be a notch above Marvel's usual standards and both tales are quick paced and fun.  It's definitely my favorite animated version of Wolverine to date.  I'd love to see a Wolverine tale animated in the Samurai Jack style one of these days.

Storm Vs. The Weather Wizard

It's been fun watching Barry Allen's rogues gallery growing on The Flash.  The announcement that Mark Hamill will be reprising his role as The Trickster was a pleasant surprise.  The first episode featured The Weather Wizard, who has a brother waiting to take up the mantle in a future installment.  Now that Captain Cold and others have been introduced as well, I look forward to them joining forces with one another to give The Flash a tough time, just as they have in the comics.

Supergirl and Colossus

I was glad to see that Colossus is among the characters returning for X-Men: Days of Future Past.  His brief moment in X2: X-Men United was fun and I was hoping to see more of him in the third film.  He was in there, but again did not have much to do.  With such a huge cast for the newest film, I am not expecting much more screen time for him, but hopefully they will have fine tuned the armored up look by now.  We've seen enough films with fully CGI characters to know that having Colossus in his full metal glory for more than a few quick shots is more than doable.
