The Creeper and Venom

 

If you are wondering why The Creeper has it out for Norman Osborn, he's held a grudge ever since they clashed in STF #1674.  He also face off against another Symbiote, Carnage, in STF #4507.

X-Men and The Creeper

 

Goodness knows that the Professor has a few skeletons in his closet. I'm not sure the Children of the Atom would take to kindly to Jack Ryder snooping into their headmaster, and that conflict would make for and exciting tale.

Wonder Man and The Creeper

 We've seen a quick glimpse of the upcoming Disney+ Wonder Man series, but not nearly enough to make any kind of judgment on it yet.  I do try to check out anything with Bob Odenkirk in it, so his involvement has me interested. Let's hope the series can balance humor and action better than She-Hulk did..

The Creeper Vs. Carnage

 

I think that this would be an interesting match up.  Would Jack Ryder's agility and enhanced strength and healing be enough to take on the raw power of a symbiote? 

Cloak and Dagger and The Creeper

 

They may all be street-level heroes, but that's about where the similarity ends.  It might be fun to see everyone thrown into an adventure together.  The Creeper has run afoul of The Kingpin a couple of times on this blog, I can see this tale spinning out of that rivalry.

The Creeper Vs. The Kingpin in: "Thank You, Sir, May I Have Another?"

 

Wilson Fisk is referring here to his first battle with Jack Ryder, back in STF #2368.  Let's hope that The Creeper can escape his grip long enough to get a chance to fight back!

The Creeper and The Beast in: "Party Crashers!"

 

I paired these two together back in STF #1086, and I thought it was time they made a return appearance together.  Being able to use George Perez artwork for both was an added incentive.

The Creeper and The Inhumans

 

I always gravitated towards the offbeat heroes, so this is an issue I would have grabbed off of the stand without thinking. I can see Jack Ryder launching an investigation into what's happening on the Blue Area of the Moon and then unwittingly getting caught up in an interplanetary incident. 

Nova and The Creeper

 

I recently saw a request to pair these two together due to them having similar last names.  The names are only phonetically the same, but I thought it would still be cool to see them in an adventure side by side. Add in one malicious mechanical menace and a story starts to form...

Deathlok and The Creeper

 

These are two awesome characters that never seem to get past the C List.  They are both A-List in my book though.  The Creeper is probably too outlandish for a live action treatment, but James Gunn does like the oddball heroes, so who knows?  Deathlok had a low rent live action appearance on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. but the less said about that disappointing attempt, the better.  Let's hope the MCU proper gives him another shot.

Machine Man and The Creeper in: The Mechanics of Madness"

 

Fort this Steve Ditko-illustrated compo, I thought I would go for a truly oddball pairing.  These two could not be more different in terms of appearance, attitude and abilities - but that's just what would make it an interesting team up to me.

These two heroes previously met in STF #3526...

The Creeper and Doc Samson

 

Have we all forgotten that Doc Samson is part of the MCU.  If William Hurt and Tim Roth could continue their roles after The Incredible Hulk, then way can't Doctor Leonard Samson?  Actually, if he were to get a Gamma infusion like in the comics, this might be a good candidate to recast.  As much as I like Ty Burrell, It might be hard to take the former Phil Dunphy seriously with  a muscular physique and long green hair! 

Power Man & Iron Fist and The Creeper

 

I've always loved The Creeper. A tabloid TV host with a healing factor that dresses in one of comics' most outlandish outfits for crimefighting while feigning insanity to throw off his opponents just shouldn't work - but for me, it does!  It's too bad that he's probably impossible to bring to live action due to being such an oddity.  Still, watching James Gunn take on some of DC's obscure characters makes me think there might be a chance.  I wonder if he'd be interested in tackling Jack Ryder's alter ego?

Machine Man and The Creeper

 

This is the kind of oddball pairing that really gets me interested.  They are two of my favorite C-List heroes with almost nothing in common besides their pursuit of justice.  Add in artwork by the legendary Steve Ditko to tie the whole tale together, and you have a done-in-one comic that would be tough to pass up - well, for me anyway!

The Creeper Vs. The Prowler

One of the many aspects of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse that I really enjoyed was the use of The Prowler, a cool character that I did not expect to show up in a movie.  The way he was depicted made him even cooler, I loved the way the animators moved him around on the screen.  Rumor has it that for the upcoming sequel, Spidey villain C-lister The Spot will be a main antagonist.   He is a very fun character visually, and I hope he does indeed appear because I'm betting that there will be some great and inventive action scenes using his unique power set.

Thanks to STF visitor Wolfhammer for suggesting this team up!

Brother Voodoo and The Creeper

 

Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness is set to begin filming soon, and we have not heard anything about casting for Brother Voodoo or Clea.  I had heard that both would be introduced in the film, but then came the addition of The Scarlet Witch and the whole multiverse angle - not to mention the continuation of Baron Mordo's plot line.  Hopefully there will be room to include everything without the movie getting too cluttered.

The Creeper and Nighthawk

 

I mentioned on one of my recent #TBT posts (follow me on FB or Twitter if you aren't getting those) how much I'd love to see a live action treatment of The Creeper.  That said, I fully realize that he would be one of the toughest superheroes to adapt, due to his outlandish appearance.  I have no interes in some watered down version on the CW that looks like a regular gut with a yellow tie and a fuzzy red collar, If your going to adapt a character that usies craziness like The Creeper, you have to be willing to be a little crazy in your costume design!

The Creeper and The Black Widow

The Black Widow trailer seemed interesting, teasing a much more scaled down and personal story in comparison to the bombast of Avengers: Endgame.  It will be cool to get some back story on Natasha and he personal demons.  Maybe we will learn why she doesn't have even a hint of a Russian Accent, that always bothered me.  I can't wait to see The Taskmaster in action, he's always men a favorite Marvel Villain.

Spider-Man and The Creeper In: "Something Sinister This Way Creeps!"

Well, It looks like Spider-Man will be staying in the MCU a little while longer, for one more solo movie and an appearance in another Marvel event film.  This is very good news, as they will now be able to provide a resolution to the cliffhanger we were left with at the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home. Most are assuming another Avengers film for his other appearance, but I am hoping to see him with The Fantastic Four.  I always liked his friendship with The Human Torch in the comics, and it would be great to see that played out on the big screen.

This is the third meeting between Spidey and The Creeper on this blog.  They last met in STF #306  and before that, they were the very first team-up when I switched over to Super-Team Family way back in STF #1...

The Punisher and The Creeper

This is a match up that I would like to see. These two, with their disparate personalities, would definitely clash in a way that would be fun to watch.  The Creeper is hard to kill with his unpredictable fighting style and healing factor, but The Punisher is not one to give up easily when he sets his sights on a target.  I'm not sure who would come out on top, but it would be n enjoyable battle to watch unfold.
