Elongated Man and Moon Knight (Vs. Mr. Universe!)

 

For the 15th appearance of the MK/EM Team, I figured I would put  them up against STF's greatest villain, Mr. Universe (making his 13th appearance).  Maybe they will be the two heroes to finally put this menace down for good!

Moon Knight and Elongated Man (The Animated Series!)

 

The 14th appearance of the MK/EM Team already?  I'd say this pairing is ready for their cartoon debut!  After all, while both characters have shown up as cameos on different animated shows, neither has really had a chance to shine in that format yet.

This marks the 13th appearance of the MK/EM Team on the blog, and maybe that unlucky number is an indication of the trouble they'll be facing no that there's a new crazy pairing in town.  Now that I see them together, I think an Elongated Man battle with Stilt-Man would be cool to see.  All that stretching around extended legs is sure to make for some fun visuals.

Apocalypse Vs. 4 Famous Co-Stars

 

This cover not only marks the 10th appearance of the Hawkeye/Huntress team, but also the 12th appearance of the Moon Knight/Elongated Man team.  I figured it was time for these two pairings to team up their partnerships. As I mentioned in an earlier comments section, STF #3600 will feature the first time that two team groups created for this blog will be clashing with each other.  After so many covers, Earth-STF continuity is beginning to fold in upon itself!

Moon Knight and The Elongated Man (Vs. The Joker!)

 

This marks the 11th appearance of The MK-EM Team.  Thank you for humoring my presenting this pairing from time to time.  It's a little self indulgent but for some reason I get a kick out of seeing them together.  

We saw a few glimpses of the Moon Knight show at a recent Disney presentations, and while quick, they looked quite promising to me.  Hopefully we will get a trailer soon now that we are into 2022.  

Moon Knight and the Joker previously clashed in STF #2021...

Moon Knight and The Elongated Man in: "Don't Deny the Reaper!"

 

This marks the 10th appearance of The MK/EM Team...

Moon Knight is one upcoming Disney+ series that I really have no idea about what it is going to be like.  There have been so many different takes on the hero in the comics that it's hard to say what angle they will go with.  Oscar Isaac is a great actor (he was my pick to play Hawkman), so I am sure he is up to whatever is asked of him in the role.  Ethan Hawke is set to play the main antagonist, but it hasn't been announced just which villain that will be, so I don't know what to expect there either.  Hopefully we'll get more of an idea as to how the series will take shape soon.

The MK/EM team in back in action once again!  This is the ninth meeting of STF's greatest crimefighting team:

These two previously had a Mardi Gras adventure in STF #3235, MK's desperate treatment for Ralph was conducted in STF #3169... Concern about Eclipso's lasting effect on Ralph arose in STF #3098, Ralph fell under Eclipso's influence in STF #2908, They faced an angry underworld in STF #2831,  Psycho Pirate turned them against each other in STF #2732, Ralph came to the rescue in STF #2518, and they first started working together in STF #2169...

The MK/EM team returns!  This is the eighth meeting of STF's greatest crimefighting team:

MK's desperate treatment for Ralph was conducted in STF #3169... Concern about Eclipso's lasting effect on Ralph arose in STF #3098, Ralph fell under Eclipso's influence in STF #2908, They faced an angry underworld in STF #2831,  Psycho Pirate turned them against each other in STF #2732, Ralph came to the rescue in STF #2518, and they first started working together in STF #2169...

Elongated Man and Moon Knight in: "Exorcising Eclipso!"

 

The continuing saga of comicdom's greatest fighting team is here - let's give them their own label - The MK/EM Team! Coincidentally, it's been 1000 covers since their first appearance.

This is the seventh appearance of the MK/EM team - Concern about Eclipso's lasting effect on Ralph arose in STF #3098, Ralph fell under Eclipso's influence in STF #2908, They faced an angry underworld in STF #2831,  Psycho Pirate turned them against each other in STF #2732, Ralph came to the rescue in STF #2518, and they first started working together in STF #2169...

Moon Knight and Elongated Man in: "Midnight... The Stretching Hour!"

 

It's time for another adventure featuring the World's Greatest Fighting Team!  Well, the world of STF anyway...

This is the sixth appearance of the MK/EM team - Ralph fell under Eclipso's influence in STF #2908, They faced an angry underworld in STF #2831,  Psycho Pirate turned them against each other in STF #2732, Ralph came to the rescue in STF #2518, and they first started working together in STF #2169...

Elongated Man and Moon Knight (Vs. Eclipso)

I've had a few requests for Moon Knight to face off against Eclipso, including Blog Patron Bob Greenwade, and I figured that I'd throw that conflict into the middle of STF's greatest fighting team.  I imagine that the events of this issue will have repercussions down the line.

This is the Fifth appearance of the MK/EM team - They faced an angry underworld in STF #2831,  Psycho Pirate turned them against each other in STF #2732, Ralph came to the rescue in STF #2518, and they first started working together in STF #2169...

Moon Knight and Elongated Man in: "No Good Deed...!"

The boys are back!  I am preparing this post on January 12th, which is my birthday, so I hope you'll forgive me for once again indulging my urge to see this pairing!

I have been hearing lots of casting rumors regarding the Disney+ Moon Knight show, so I think we will be hearing some solid news on that soon (also for Kamala Khan and her Ms. Marvel show).  I hope that Marvel takes a cue from The Mandalorian, and creates their new shows with the budget and care that went into that series, I loved it.

This is the Fourth appearance of the MK/EM team - Psycho Pirate turned them against each other in STF #2732, Ralph came to the rescue in STF #2518, and they first started working together in STF #2169...

Elongated Man and Moon Knight in: "I Hate You, Man"

Back by popular demand!  The boys return for another thriller due to overwhelming interest in their unique partnership.  OK, maybe that's not completely true... I'm the only one demanding this team.  What can I say, I like them together!

This is the third appearance of the MK/EM team - Ralph came to the rescue in STF #2518, and they first started working together in STF #2169...

Moon Knight and Elongated Man in: You're Gonna Need a Stretcher!"

That's right, the boys are back!  Wait... you didn't think that when I first paired these two together in STF #2169, that it was just going to be a one-off adventure, did you?  Sorry, there's just too much to explore with a partnership of such epic proportions.  Yeah, you may as well just get used to it - this is a thing now.

Moon Knight and Elongated Man

Every once in a while, someone visiting this blog will say something along the lines of, "You should be running a comic company, so we could see these stories for real!"  A very kind sentiment, to be sure - but I have to laugh because they don't know what they are suggesting.  My eclectic tastes would favor offbeat team-ups like this rather than more popular crowd-pleasing fare.  The fact that these two heroes have so little in common is just what makes it a fun concept for me, but I have no illusions about the widespread appeal of such a pairing.  At any rate, I like these two together and plan to revisit their partnership again one of these days.
