Metal Men Vs. The Absorbing Man

 

This could be an interesting match up.  Would Crusher Creel be able to absorb the team's shapeshifting abilities in addition to their metallic properties? I'm thinking that would make for a more exciting battle, so if I was the writer, I'd say yes. 

The Spirit, The Flash and Sonic The Hedgehog

 

Previously on this blog, The Flash has crossed paths with both Sonic (STF #518) and the Spirit (STF #1672).  Bob Greenwade, frequent commenter and Patron of this Blog, suggested that all three share a cover, given their connection to Central City.  It might not be as action packed as you hoped for, Bob, but here you go!

Supergirl and Morbius

 

The Supergirl movie isn't far off, but there doesn't seem  like there is a lot of excitement for it.  Seeing Jason Mamoa as Lobo should be fun.  The trailers to me have been Just OK - The movie looks fine, just nothing that I feel that I need to run out and see. Hopefully the film will defy expectations and become a critical and commercial hit.

Elongated Man Vs. The Absorbing Man

 

So this is where Ralph's been while his wife was out looking for him! I always thought that Crusher Creel could be a mighty force for good with his power set, but alas, he just doesn't have the mindset for that kind of life.

Jimmy Olsen and Professor X

 

I'm looking forward to seeing Patrick Stewart as Professor X one more time in Avengers: Doomsday.  I just hope he doesn't die in the movie, though.  We've already seen Professor X killed off in X:Men 3, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Logan and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The poor guy can't get a break - only Thomas and Martha Wayne have had more on-screen deaths!

X-Men and The Atom (Part One)

 I'm not sure if it's the similarly styles Silver Age costumes, but The Atom looks like he fits right in with the X-Men here.  They are called the Children of the Atom, after all.  Make sure you come back tomorrow for The conclusion of this story, where we discover which X-Men villain has been toying with Ray Palmer..  

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.

Power Man and Deadman

 

Maybe Boston Brand would have found his killer sooner if he had consulted with a Hero for Hire like Luke Cage.  It would certainly be entertaining to read about.

Human Torch and Black Lightning

 

I'm glad to finally use Doctor Destiny on the blog, an underrated DCU villain.  In addition to his cool creepy look, he was powerful enough to take on the JLA single handedly.  His mind-bending abilities always made for interesting visuals as well.

Power Man and The Creeper

 

I think it might be fun to see these two working side by side on a case.  The clash in personalities would make for an interesting back and forth between the two.

The Human Torch and Batgirl

 

Sometimes there was a cover on the racks that had so much going on that it practically dared you to try an resist picking it up.  Needless to say I had to at least flip through.  The above scenario is just the kind of image that would have had me hooked.

Justice League of America Vs. The Super-Adaptoid

 

I had to remove The Avengers as well as some other items before I could add in the JLA on this cover.  Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress: 

The Thing and Batman in: "March Of The Monster Men!"

 

Batman and The Thing are my favorite characters from from DC and Marvel, and they have met before in other Lost Issues -  They were trapped in the Microverse in STF #4192, They quarreled over Aunt Petunia in STF #3322... They had a boxing match in STF #2455... They faced a fiery situation in STF #554... They topped off an Anniversary Issue in STF #500... before that, They battled the Riddler/Trapster team... earlier, The Thing discovered the Bat Cave... and was handed control of The Outsiders... not to mention This Whole Blog... and finally, they first appeared together in one of my earliest covers...

Catwoman Vs. Mockingbird in: "Bobbi-Pinned!"

 

Aside from the natural cat/bird conflict, I think there would definitely be friction between these two.  as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, Bobbi Morse knows how to work with others and abide by a set of mission parameters - quite a contrast from Selina Kyle, a solo act who has no problem breaking the rules.

These two first crossed paths in STF #3652...

Katana and Iron Fist in "The Sacred Temple!"

 

Katana and Iron Fist have fought together before on the blog.  They battled Davos in STF #1997, and first the killers of K'un L'un in STF #3104. This time, they seem to have run afoul of the Foreground Sword Guys!

Vixen and Valkyrie

 

This would be a different issue, with both heroines adapting to situations outside their usual worlds.  One of the great things about having characters with well defined personalities is the fun a writer can have by taking them out of their comfort zones.

The Guardian and The Guardian

 

Evert since I had these two appear together in a back up tale for STF # 665, I have received requests for them to get a full issue to themselves.  It took a while, but I finally got around to doing just that.

Hercules and The Tick

 

Now these two heroes I am sure would get along.  Their heroism loving personalities with a dash of vanity and great strength to back up their boasts would probably make them fast friends.  It would be a fun romp to see them working togather.

Skyrocket and Captain America

 

It's a shame that DC Comics has such a cool character in Skyrocket, and nothing is done with her.  The company definitely needs more female heroes that aren't tied to a per-existing male hero, and she is an excellent example of that.  I hope her creator, Kurt Busiek, or some other writer finds a way to properly utilize this hidden gem.

Green Arrow Vs. The Kingpin

 

I'm looking forward to Vincent D'Onofrio's return as Wilson Fisk in the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again Disney+ series. That series has undergone a lot of ups and downs, with lots of rewrites and major reshoots - let's hope the final product is on par with the first couple of seasons of the Netflix series.
