Spider-Man and Flash Gordon

 

What if Spider-Man had made his debut a few decades earlier?  Maybe we would have seen the wall-crawler appearing in some classic movie serials, like the one above. Ah, what could have been!

The New Teen Titans and Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends

 

I remember seeing character designs for a never produced New Teen Titans cartoon back in the 80's and wondering what could have been. How cool would a crossover with Peter, Angelica and Bobby have been?

Spidey previously met The New Teen Titans in STF#3810 and STF #767 and the original Teen Titans in STF #619...

Spider-Man Vs. Giganta

 

Apparently, Director Tim Burton and Producer/Actress Margot Robbie are developing a new movie version of Attack of the 50-Foot Woman. That could be fun and give audiences a taste of what they missed by not having Giganta appear on Wonder Woman opposite Lynda Carter.

Batman and Spider-Man in: "Full Count!"

 

I can't imagine how such a scene depicted above would come about, but I know that I'd just have to see how this story unfolds.  

Batman and Spider-Man have a bit of history on STF: The Lost Issues...

They battled Clayface and Mysterio in STF #3834....

They joined the Wacky Races in STF #3755...
The Spider-Buggy went up against the Bat-Bus in STF #3624...
Batman got his first look at the Spider-Buggy in STF #1628...
The Batman/Spidey movie premiered in STF #1014
Spidey and JJJ joined forces against Batman in STF #937...
They were joined by some Amazing Friends in back in October 2011...
The shared a Golden Age adventure in September 2011...
Spidey wore his black outfit for their  July 2010 meeting...
And here is where they first crossed paths.

Superman and Mary Jane

 

A scene like this could set up quite the divergent timeline.  It would be interesting to watch unfold.

Has anyone checked out Superman and Spider-Man's recent real world crossover, and was it any good?  I'm waiting for these new DC/Marvel crossovers to be collected in digital and then I plan to check them out, but I'd love to hear your opinions.

Superman and Spider-Man have had a history on this blog as well - They were last seen together sporting their black costumes, Superman gathered heroes to find a missing Spidey...  There was a movie of their classic crossover... once they underwent an identity crisis... and once they decided to have a car fight.

Harley Quinn and Spider-Man

 

I'm a little bit surprised that I haven't paired these two together as solo acts yet.  The wisecracks would be flowing freely in this tale, that's for sure. Harley previously met Spidey as part of The Suicide Squad in STF #2782...

Hourman and Spider-Man in: "Rex to the Rescue!"

One reason I always had a soft spot for Hourman was his somewhat baggy mask.  Most other heroes had form fitting masks that clung perfectly to their heads. Rex Tyler's looked more like something I would have come up with at home when trying to make a superhero mask out of a winter hat or something.  It made him kind of relatable.

These two heroes previously met in STF #1834, and first crossed paths back in STF #578,,,

 

The Avengers and Infinity Inc. (And More!)

 

Mr. Universe returns for his 12th appearance as STF's greatest villain, and this time he is super-charged enough that it will take two teams to beat him.  Fortunately, this issue is 100 pages, so there will still be plenty of room left for some fun back-up tales!

My goodness, are we really on the march towards STF #5000?

Here are some larger views of this issue's individual stories:

Spider-Man and Green Arrow in: "Dire Consequences!"

 

It was very cool to see behind the scenes footage of Spider-Man: Brand New Day featuring practical web swinging by Tom Holland and his stunt men.  It's cool to see that kind of filmmaking in this age of digital effects, and I can't wait to see how that scene looks in the finished film.

Spider-Man and Green Arrow previously met in STF #1364...

Spider-Man and Black Canary

 

This is another example of a cover that required a bunch of de-cluttering before I could add in any new elements. Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress: 

 

Justice League of America and Samurai Jack (And More!)

 

For this Anniversary Issue, I thought that I would present the kind of Saturday morning line-up that would have made my head spin.  With shows line these and some Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, I would have been all set.  Here are some closer looks at the stories in this issue:

Spider-Man and Karate Kid

 

Avengers: Doomsday is about to begin filming, and I wonder what Spider-Man's role in it will be.  I am sure Marvel will want to include him, but his new status quo after No Way Home means that all of his ties to Earth's Mightiest Heroes are gone.  How will a loner like him fit in with the rest of the action?

Spider-Man and Darkman

 

When Sam Raimi was first announced as the Director of the first Spider-Man movie, I thought back on his comic book-inspired Darkman movie and knew that the wall crawler was in good hands.  How cool would it have been if Raimi could have brought audiences a big screen team up between the two heroes?

Spider-Man and Mr. A

This is another pairing that has been long overdue.  I never read too much of Mr. A, but I was intrigued by his rigid take on life and crime. It would have been interesting to see him confront the wall-crawler, especially if such a meeting was depicted by Steve Ditko.

 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Spider-Man

 

I mean, they all make New York City their home base of operations, it would only be a matter of time before they ran into each other.  Not that NYC is where this particular story takes place!

Spider-Man and The Challengers of the Unknown

 

The fourth Tom Holland led Spider-Man movie now a go according to the actor.  Rumors have swirled from the plot being tied in heavily to the two upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars films to a smaller, more street level adventure.  I think that I would prefer the latter.  I loved the status quo set up at the end of the last movie, and would like to see that explored a little before he gets mixed up with a big crazy universe-changing story again.

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends and Static

 

I remember seeing that cool giant fire monster during the opening credits sequence of Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends.  Alas, he only appeared for a few moments in one episode, taken out easily by Firestar and guest star Sunfire - and he was certainly nowhere near as large as he was depicted during that credits cameo.  

Vigilante and The Amazing Spider-Man

 

You just know that if these two actually shared a universe, they would be bound to clash sooner or later.  Would Adrian Chase continue to hunt down the wall-crawler... or would he eventually fight by his side?

Super Friends and Spider-Man

 

Miles Morales has been seen traversing the multiverse into many realities, some quite familiar to long time comic fans.  It would be cool to see him wall crawl his way into the Saturday Morning Hanna-Barbera universe.  I'd love to see his reaction to these family-friendly heroes.

The Super Friends met the Peter Parker Spidey (and his Amazing Friends) in STF #1299...

Spider-Man and The Guardian

 

We've seen Peter Parker put his smarts to work for various companies over the years, so why not Cadmus Laboratories?  I think its a simple set up that could lead to all kinds of fun stories.
