Captain Marvel and Ant-Man

 

Mr. Mind is one of my absolute favorite villains and despite seeing him in the mid credits scene of Shazam! it doesn't seem he will have a large role in the sequel - if he appears at all.  At least we have confirmation that M.O.D.O.K. will be appearing in Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania.  From what I have seen it is a more robotic looking version than in the comics - though I am hoping his helmet pulls back to reveal a giant humanoid face behind it.

Superman and Rick Jones

 

I'm a little surprised that we have not heard from Rick Jones in the MCU.  With strong ties to The Hulk, Captain Marvel and The Avengers, he's one of Marvel's most enduring supporting characters, and it would be cool to see him find a place on the big or small screen.  Maybe the lack of solo Hulk projects has been a problem, not to mention all but writing Mar-Vell out of existence in favor of skipping right to Carol Danvers.

Quasar Vs. Sinestro

 

I'm guessing it will be a while before Quasar shows up in the MCU.  He's a c-lister but I always liked him.  I guess if the Guardians of the Galaxy return for a fourth film with a revamped roster, he could fit in there. 

The Magnificent Misters

When Bob Greenwade, a Patron of this Blog, suggested bringing back the trio of Misters from way back in STF #78 and adding in Mr. Majestic, I thought it was a good idea.  I decided to go one step further and add in Mister Miracle to make it a full team.  Let's just hope that The Expansion Team and The Roustabouts don't mind having their members poached for this self-loving assemblage!

Blue Beetle and Captain America in "Crushing Defeat!"

I'm not sure what, if anything is still happening with a Blue and Gold movie, whether it is still on, has been converted to a Booster Gold solo film, or what - the rumors seem to have stopped.  I hope that DC finds a way to make it work though, I like the idea of a buddy-cop style superhero movie.

Cap shared an adventure with Ted Kord back in STF #234, and met Blue Beetle Dan Garrett in STF #1078... 

Robo Force in "Victory has a Price!"

Robo Force was the first team that I created for STF: The Lost Issues, so I have always had a soft spot for them.  I like when groups have an artificial life form among them in comics, so an entire team made up of AI characters just seems like it would be a lot of fun.

This is Robo Force's third appearance on the blog - they Battled Ultron in STF #202 and first became a team back in STF #150...

Superman Vs. Archie

This cover comes about from a request from none other than comics' veteran Jim Valentino.  Jim's creativity brought us normalman, a classic Guardians of the Galaxy run, Shadowhawk, A Touch of Silver, and many other comics and concepts throughout the years.  Above and beyond that, he has shown great support to the blog, so how could I pass up the opportunity to use a suggestion by him?

Archie Andrews and Kal-El met once before under decidedly different circumstances...
