Doctor Fate and Professor X

 

Presenting Part One of a Two-Part Epic!  I wonder if Charles Xavier ever shared his hover-chair technology with the general public.  It would certainly be a nice alternative to standard wheelchairs, after all.  Or maybe he couldn't because it requires telepathic abilities to operate?  Anyway,  make sure you come back tomorrow for Part Two!

The Enchantress and 7 Famous Co-Stars

 

As we reach Part Four of this Five-Part Epic, we see what's truly behind the Enchantress' machinations.  Just who is her "dearest" anyway?  Comic fans should recognize that silhouette. Make sure you come back tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!

This marks the 14th Appearance of The Power Couple, The 28th Appearance of the WW/Cap romance and the 10th appearance of The Hercules/Vixen romance.

Superman and Valkyrie

 

Superman and Lois continues to entertain in its second season.  I am really impressed by how the super heroic feats are presented on a TV show budget.  I do have one nitpick, admittedly a minor one.  Why does Superman/Clark constantly seem to have a five o'clock shadow?  That looks works for The Punisher, Daredevil or even Batman - but in my minds eye, the Man of Steel should usually be clean shaven.  Hasn't TV Superman learned the "shaving with heat vision and a mirror" trick?

Spider-Woman and Hawkwoman

Jessica Drew is long overdue to join the MCU.  There are plenty of ways to introduce her, given her ties to S.H.I.E.L.D. and  her thematic similarities to Spider-Man.  She's even been wearing a far more movie-friendly costume in the comics for the past few years.  She had her own cartoon in the 80's, surely some of the viewers of that show are now adults in the movie business that would be happy to work on her live action adventures.

Justice Society of America and Thor

Some have expressed disappointment that DC's trinity will not be a part of the JSA when it returns DC continuity, as it will be the post-Crisis version that existed on the same Earth as the JLA, just in an earlier decade.  Batman and Superman weren't heavily involved in the original All-Star Comics series, so I can live with that, even though I like them on the team.  Wonder Woman on the other hand was in a lot of adventures so I hope they find a way to include her.  John Byrne's solution of having Hyppolita as the WW of the JSA worked for me, so I hope that will be the case again. 

Wolverine Vs. Deathstroke

These two tangled before, back in X-Men and The New Teen Titans - but their encounters were fleeting, just a panel or two.  It would be very cool to see them truly go head to head for a full issue.  My money's always on Logan, but it would be a fun fight to watch.  Thank you to Joe Carey, a Patron of this blog, for suggesting this match up.

Hawkgirl and Photon

The Shadow Thief has always been one of my favorite villains.  He struck me as creepy and scary in a good way with his unique power set and appearance.  I first discovered him as a member of The Injustice Gang in Justice League of America, and I soon devoured his adventures as illustrated by the great Joe Kubert in the pages of Hawkman.  Maybe with Nth Metal becoming a major plot point in the DC books thses days, the Hawks and their arch enemy will be back at the forefront once again soon.

Hawkman Vs. The Vulture

Even though I had some major problems with Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3, I still was interested to see what he had in store for the fourth installment of his take on the franchise.  The rumor was that John Malkovich was set to portray The Vulture, and that could have been very cool.  We do see a set of what look to be Vulture wings in Osborne's labe in the Trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, so it looks like Malkovich may just get another chance in a sequel or the Sinister Six film.
