Batman Vs. The Juggernaut

 

Comics lost another big talent this week with the passing of Sam Kieth.  His extremely unique style was simultaneously cartoonish and highly detailed, and his covers always stood out on the stands. RIP.

Metamorpho Vs. The Juggernaut

 

Kind of an oddball match up this time out, but one that I think could have good story potential.  There aren't many heroes that can with stand an onslaught by Cain Marko, but the Freak of a Thousand Forms might be one of them.  I absolutely love Metamorpho, but other than Simon Stagg, he has never had much of a personal rogues gallery - maybe he's just  too tough to beat.

Starman and Moondragon / Plastic Man Vs. Juggernaut

 

I heard rumors that Moondragon would be joining the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 a while back, but nothing in the way of a casting announcement for the role has been made.  I hope the character is still part of the mix.  Not only is she interesting in her own right, but as the daughter of Drax the Destroyer, her presence would certainly add to the story potential.

Juggernaut Vs. Solomon Grundy

 

Just as the title suggests, I think that this would be a pretty even battle. Since Solomon Grundy is repeatedly reborn, each time with incredible power, can he be considered a mutant?

Thanks to Thrawn7, a Patron of this blog, for suggesting this battle...

Superman Vs. The Juggernaut

The Juggernaut is one X-Men foe that I would like to see return in the MCU.  He was pretty much treated as a joke in both his X-Men and Deadpool film appearances, and really has not been given the respect he deserves on the big screen yet.  Did they even touch on the fact that he is a half brother to Charles Xavier?  There's still plenty of story to mine with the character.

Madman Vs. The Juggernaut

The best rivalries in comics for me are the ones that feature the most disparate personalities, like Batman/Joker or Captain America/Red Skull.  For that reason I think that the idea of these two guys clashing could be a lot of fun.  A single-minded villain with a permanent bad mood against comics' most laid back and groovy hero would make for some interesting conflict.

Batman and Cyclops (Retro)

I thought I would give Cyclops the retro treatment as well.  I understand that the latest event in the X-Men books is some major division between Scott Summers and Wolverine, leading to two dueling X-Teams led by them.  Sounds like more of the same as the X-Men seem to have been splitting up and regrouping for years.  For a nice take on Cyclops, I would recommend the X-Men: Evolution animated series from a few years back.  It features a slightly younger version of the character and gives him a nice arc through the run of the series.
