The Badger and Wolverine

 

When Tom Brennan, a Patron of this Blog, suggested this pairing, I had to check and see if I had gotten to it yet - it really does seem like a natural.  To my surprise, I hadn't - so it was time to remedy that situation.  Thanks for the idea, Tom!

The Badger and Spider-Man

The Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer got fans buzzing with Mysterio claiming that he was a hero from another dimension, introducing the multiverse to the MCU.  This is Mysterio, though, so I am not taking anything I saw in that trailer at face value. Who knows if that's even the real Nick Fury in there - could be just an illusion or maybe even The Chameleon in disguise.  I'm expecting a lot of misdirects in the story and I am looking forward to Jake Gyllenhaal's portrayal of the central villain.

The Thing and The Badger

Now that the Disney/Fox deal is nearing completion, I am really looking forward to what the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe holds, and number one on my list is not just a proper version of The Fantastic Four, but the fact that such a film will allow for something that I have been waiting to see on the big screen my whole life:  a Thing/Hulk fight!  I always lived their rivalry in the comics and was thrilled at the animated battle they had in the second season of the 90's Fantastic Four cartoon.  Come on, Marvel - make it happen!

The Lunatic Fringe

This cover comes about as the result of a concept from Reg Aubry and others in a recent comment section of this blog. I liked the idea of an entire team filled with heroes of questionable sanity.  It only makes sense that these off-kilter champions would join together, as many have had adventures with one another in previous issues -

The Badger met Moon Knight in STF #832...

Moon Knight met The Creeper in STF #1022...

The Creeper met The Tick in STF #2309...

The Tick met Ambush Bug in STF #480...

... and I guess they all get together and meet Crazy Jane in this issue!

Thanks, Reg and the rest for a fun team idea!

Badger and Rose & The Thorn

People like to talk about Batman being a hero with a damaged psyche, but Bruce Wayne has nothing on these two.  Their multiple personality disorders set their adventures apart from most other characters.  It's interesting to read about their inner struggles and watching their heroic sides come out when they are most needed.

Moon Knight and The Badger

These two have each had similar psychological issues, so I think they would find kindred spirits in one another.  Pity the poor hoodlums that get in their way, though!

Batman and The Badger

I don't know a whole lot about The Badger, as I was not a First Comics reader when his stories were originally presented.  I had gotten a few requests to include him, so I read up on the character and he seems pretty interesting, what with his fractured psyche and all.  He seems to have jumped around a few comics companies  with a few relaunches.  So I'll put the question out there - for someone who has never read the character before, where's the best place to start?
