Wildcat and Red Wolf

 

When Ben Woods, a Patron of this blog, suggested this pairing, I had to admit that it was one I had never considered.  The more I thought about it, though, the more it appealed to me. I can see these two working well together.   Thanks, Ben!

Jonah Hex and The Rangers

 

I thought this was a cool western themed team when they appeared in West Coast Avengers.  It's too bad they did not appear more often. Jonah has met a couple of the members of the team before on this blog - Red Wolf in STF #1641 and then again in STF #1909, and The Original Ghost Rider in a two-parter in STF #1466 and STF #1477...

Red Wolf and The Lone Ranger

APRIL FOOLS!

Here's the real STF issue #2544. Have any of Marvel's western stars made the leap to animation?  I can't remember that Red Wolf, Phantom Rider, or Kids Colt, Two-Gun and Rawhide ever made so much as a cameo on any of the various Marvel cartoons.  That should be remedied, there's plenty of potential there.

Red Wolf and Jonah Hex in: "Home of the Brave!"

It was cool to see Jonah Hex show up on Justice League Action this week.  The show has really grown on me, and I love the odd character combinations that they come up with for each episode.  In addition to Hex, this week featured Batman, Cyborg and Space Cabby battling Kanjar Ro!  I still wish the show was longer, but as long as they keep up these kind of offbeat team-ups, I'll keep watching.

Jonah Hex and Red Wolf

We have seen a couple of versions of Jonah Hex on the big and small screen, with varying degrees of success, and I am sure we will again at some point down the line.  How cool would it have been to have seen a live action Hex back in the day though?  I can imagine Clint Eastwood in his prime taking on the role,

Scalphunter and Red Wolf

 I liked the idea that Marvel and DC's shared universes not only included their roster of superheroes, but but their horror and western stars as well.  It was cool that we could read about these characters in their own setting, and then in another story they might be crossing paths with the likes of Batman or The Hulk.
