Falcon and Wildcat

 

These two heroes are used to more down to Earth, street level villains, so they might be over their heads when dealing with a cosmic entity like The Stranger.  I wouldn't count them out, though!

Wildcat and Red Wolf

 

When Ben Woods, a Patron of this blog, suggested this pairing, I had to admit that it was one I had never considered.  The more I thought about it, though, the more it appealed to me. I can see these two working well together.   Thanks, Ben!

Iron Man and Wildcat

 

These guys are miles apart as far as their backgrounds and power levels go, but I think that they might get along.  Even if they didn't, it would be cool to see their clash of styles when tossed into a story together.

Wildcat Vs. Sabretooth

 

It might be interesting to these two cat-themed brawlers go one on one.  Ted Grant has the fighting discipline and decades of experience, but will that be enough to overcome berserker rage and a healing factor? 

Wildcat and The Blonde Phantom (Vs. The Ringmaster!)

 

The Ringmaster and his Circus of Crime may never have hit A-Level super-villain status, but I always enjoyed when they would show up in the comics.  I don't know if we'll ever see them appear in the MCU.   Maybe an appearance on one of their streaming series might work. Maynard Tiboldt would certainly be a fun role for an actor to dive into

Wildcat first met the Blonde Phantom in STF #3826...

Masters of Evil Vs. The Justice Society of America

 

This Anniversary Issue took quite a bit of tweaking for me to get it to work. Here's a behind the scenes look at how I removed the Marvel heroes to make room for the JSA:

Wildcat and The Cat

 

Regular STF visitors know that Tigra is Wildcat's niece, as outlined in STF #2551.  They first shared a cover on STF #1265, and last appeared together in the middle of a 7-part tale in STF #3667... I thought that for this time I would present a story that took place while Greer Grant Nelson was still in her original Cat identity.

Wildcat and Cloak & Dagger

 

You know, I could go for an entire series centered around Wildcat training other heroes to fight.  You could have a rotating roster of guest stars coming to Ted Grant's gym to polish up their super-heroic fisticuffs as only he can. And as we all know, in comics when heroes gather for whatever reason, action is sure to ensue!

Wildcat and Mr. T (The Animated Series!)

 

MeTV has been showing A-Team reruns lately and the show is a cheesy as I remember.  Watching them now, I don't know how Mr. T's B.A. Baracus put up with the rest of the team - they are all insufferable!  I especially roll my eyes at Hannibal, he considers himself to be a master of disguise but I would beg to differ.  The other three were always drugging B.A. to get him on planes when he repeatedly told them he didn't want to fly.  I'd like to see them try a stunt like that on Clubber Lang!

Wildcat and Mr. T first met in STF #1998...

Justice Society of America Vs. M.O.D.O.K.

 

M.O.D.O.K. is a villain that I have been wanting to see  on the big screen since the debut of the MCU, so I was glad to hear he would be in Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania.  The quick glimpses I got of him during the trailers did not fill me with confidence, however.  Lackluster reviews kept me away from the theaters, but I'll catch the movie when it hits Disney+.  I'm going in with lowered expectations, so maybe I will be pleasantly surprised by his appearance.

The Beast and Wildcat

 

One guy dresses like a big blue cat and the other guy looks like one.  It was about time these two got into business together.  Look like their first case is an explosive one, though!

Wildcat and Captain Marvel

 

Mar-Vell is clearly referring here to time Wildcat defeated The Champion in the ring, as depicted in STF #2731.  If anything can bring these mis-matched heroes together it's an intergalactic grudge match that must be dealt with.  

Blonde Phantom and Wildcat

 

I've already established that Tigra is Wildcat's niece on this blog, and I thought it might be nice to give the JSA's resident pugilist a sister as well.  I come from a big family - I have four brothers and two sisters, so stories about relationships between siblings have always appealed to me.

Tigra and Cat-Man (Part 4 of 7)

 

As we pass the midway point in our week-ling tale, we see that Cat-Man is seeking revenge against Tigra for busting up his crime wave.  Let's hope Uncle Ted has arrived in time.  it's hard to see any reconciliation happening now - make sure you tune in tomorrow to see where this story goes next!

Spider-Man and Wildcat

 

I'm excited to see what new animation styles will be employed by Spider-Man:  Across the Spider-Verse, Part One.  The rumor is that Miles Morales will be visiting a bunch of different realities, each with it's own visual appearance.  After the amazing work done in the first film, I can only imagine what the animators have in store now that they have the wind of an Oscar win at their back.

Wildcat met the Peter Parker Spider-Man back in STF #2100...

The Thing and 4 Famous Co-Stars!

 

You know what I'm thankful for today?  All of the awesome visitors who make time to stop by and check out these covers.  I am especially thankful to those who leave comments and let me know what they think. 

I've had a few requests for a Thing-led poker night cover, and I finally got around to it here.  I had fun deciding who Ben Grimm might include.  He already had a poker buddy in Lando Calrissian from STF #1943, and back in my MTIO: The Lost Issues days he met Jonah Hex, Wildcat and Hellboy... I'd love to be a fly on the wall for this game.

Wildcat and ROM

 

It was pretty cool to see the live action Ted Grant Wildcat on Stargirl this season.  He looked great, but unfortunately even though he was suited up, it was only for dialogue scenes.  Hopefully if he continues to appear in flashback we will eventually see him in action as well.

Wildcat and Iron Fist

 

They may have different fighting styles, but both of these guys have a real respect for training and keeping their skills sharp. I imagine that they would get along pretty well and it wouldn't be hard to think of a story where their paths would cross.

Black Widow and Wildcat

 

It looks like the Black Widow solo film has finally settled on an a release date after a year's worth of delays, as publicity has begun to ramp up for it once more.  Let's hope it is going to be worth the wait - I for one can't wait to see The Taskmaster in action.

I am always happy to feature the work of the great Mike Wieringo on this blog.  He was gone far too soon.  I was lucky enough to pick up a page by him several years back.  I love how no dialog or captions are needed to get the gag:

X-Men Vs. Infinity, Inc.

 

Infinity Inc. was a well designed team, I really liked all of their costumes.  Well, maybe except for Nuklon's headwear - Come on, buddy - you have have a mohawk or a headband, but not both.  Pick a lane.
