Uncle Scrooge and Scotty

 

When Jenny Blake Isabella, comics writer and Patron of this Blog, suggested a meeting between these two, I had to chuckle at the thought.  This issue should really include a sound chip, as it would need to be heard as well as read!

Mars Attacks The Borg

 

I never thought I would see a scenario where I was rooting for The Borg, but this might be one of them.  Will the Martians assimilate or Ack Ack Ack their way to victory?  It would be fun to find out!

Star Trek and Batman & The Outsiders

 

Is Halo appearing anywhere these days? I've always thought that she was criminally underused.  One reason might be her convoluted backstory.  Hopefully DC will realize her potential one of these days.

Superman and Star Trek

 

Here's another movie crossover that would have blown my young mind.  Both franchises dealt with time travel, so who's to say the Man of Steel couldn't run into the original crew of the Enterprise?

Superman previously met captain Kirk on the blog in STF #4049...

The Super Visors

 

This team comes directly from the comment section of this blog, right down to the name.  I forget actually who was discussing it, but I wrote down the idea for a team of visor-wearing heroes and it it was so silly that it stuck with me.  I finally decided to tackle it..

The IMProbables in: "Quarreling With Q!"

 

I wondered who could be a foil for a team as powerful as The IMProbables, and then it dawned on me.  Q has been long overdue for an appearance on this blog, and this seemed like a perfect opportunity to use him.  This issue would be 22 pages of pure chaos!

Mr. Spock and The Joker

 

I think just putting these two in a room together would be interesting, given their complete opposite personalities.  Having them forced to work side by side would truly make for a memorable tale.

Star Trek Vs. Kang

 

With all of the time travel shenanigans that take place in Star Trek, it's only natural that the crew of The Enterprise would cross paths with Kang the Conquerer.  This would be a confrontation for the ages - literally!

The Thing and Mon-El

 

A Star-Trek-related mission that has to be kept secret from Starfleet, the LSH and FF?  I know I'd be interested in finding out just what's going on in this issue. I'm glad I could finally feature this pairing, which I have been meaning to get to since my MTIO: The Lost Issues days.

Star Trek and The Herculoids

 

Would have loved to have seen this crossover for real.  Especially when they both had their own cartoon shows.  That would have made for a mind-blowing Saturday morning!

Galactus and Star Trek

 

If there's a group that could successfully negotiate with the World-Devourer, it's got to be Kirk and company, right?  It would be entertaining to see them give it a try, anyway.  Let's hope that Spock has something worthy of trade!

Galactus encountered the Next Generation of Star Trek in STF #4112...

Captain America and Captain Kirk

 

Continued from yesterday's cover, we see just what Captain America has gotten into in his adventure with the crew of The Enterprise.  This issue would be enjoyable for me just to watch the interaction between the two captains.

Captain America and Star Trek

 

The crew of the Enterprise have interacted with notable figures from history on multiple occasions.  Why not summon a living legend like Steve Rogers?  This would make for an interesting tale, I think.  Make sure you come back here tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!

Star Trek and Eternity

 

The crew of The Enterprise are no strangers to impossibly powerful entities, so this is a confrontation that would not be out of place on an episode of the original series.  I'd like to see how Kirk, Spock and the rest respond to a meeting with the living embodiment of the universe.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Vs. Galactus

 

Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise have successfuly dealt with a lot of powerful entities through diplomacy and strategy.  Still, I think that Galactus would give them a run for their money.  It would be fun to see what negotiations between them and the World Devourer would look like - especially when those talks break down.

Captain Kirk and Superman

 

The first two Superman and Star Trek movies along with 2001: A Space Odyssey made huge impressions on me as a kid. Seeing them combined into one mega-epic  would probably have melted my young mind - but I would have gone out with a smile on my face.

Star Trek and Lost in Space

 

I wonder if this crossover was ever considered for real back in the day.  How cool would it have been to see the casts of these two outer space shows interact with one another?  I'm not sure how the timelines match up, but they could have come up with a plot device to get around that.

Worf Vs. Aliens

 

One minor gripe I had with Star Trek: The Next Generation was that there were not enough scenes showing Worf being a badass.  I know he was there to show how the Federation had made peace with one of their greatest enemies, but he could have still tapped into his Klingon savage side a bit more for my tastes.  Ongoing storylines like giving him a son or an ill-conceived romance with Deanna Troy only served to soften him up further.  I see that he is returning with most of the original Bridge Crew for the new season of Picard - but in the trailer for that he announces that he is now a pacifist.  Let's hope he rethinks that stance by the end of the season.

Metal Men and Big Guy & Rusty (And More!)

 

For this Anniversary Issue, I thought I would go for an all-robotic theme. Looking at all of these match-ups, I'm not sure which one I would want to read first. Probably the lead feature, especially if it sported George Perez or Geoff Darrow art like the cover image. But, any story with a robot in it is entertaining to me, as they often offer some keen insights into the human condition.

Let the march to STF #4000 begin!

Emma Peel, Batgirl and Lieutenant Uhura

 

It was sad to hear of the passing of Nichelle Nichols this week.  I can only imagine how many people that she inspired through her breakthrough role as Lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek. She seemed to have a genuine love for the character as well as her fans, and she will be missed.
