Super-Hero Team-Ups I'd Love to See! (But Probably Never Will)

I was out walking earlier and, somehow, got to thinking about super-hero team-ups that would be great to see, but which we, most likely, will never get. (Yeah, this really IS the sort of thing I think about while out walking. Pity me if you like) So,for your enjoyment, here they are:

Sailor Moon & Batman

Uh oh! Our klutzy, but lovable heroine, Sailor Moon, is in trouble again! This latest monstrous threat has her trapped! Nowhere to go! Nothing to do! How will she ever survive!?

At the last possible moment, something bolts through the air and embeds itself in the ground in front of the villain! Shocked, the monster halts her deadly advance.

Sailor Moon has seen this before. A rose, thrown in a villain's path to mark the arrival of her protector and lover, the ever-reliable Tuxedo Mask!

But wait! That's no rose! It's... a bat-a-rang?!

Yeah. I'd pay to see this.

Magnus, Robot Fighter & Iron Man

A guy who can smash steel with his bare hands and a guy in a metal suit. You want a great super-hero vs. super-hero smackdown? Here ya go!

Captain Marvel (DC/Fawcett), Captain Marvel (Marvel) & Marvelman/Miracleman

Captain Marvel (The Fawcett/DC version) was a young boy who could change into a fully-grown man with superpowers by shouting "Shazam!". Marvelman was a British knock-off of Marvel who was renamed Miracleman for legal reasons when he was brought to North America. Captain Marvel (the Marvel Comics version) was published so that Marvel Comics could hold onto the trademark. He was an alien warrior with several allusions to his predecessor, the Fawcett Marvel. This team-up would be... crazy, to say the least.

The Legion of Super-Heroes & The X-men

They don't call them the Legion for nuthin'. They're freakin' huge! Largest group of heroes around. Combine them with the X-men (and I mean ALL the current X-men. All four teams, including the New X-men. Heck, let's throw in Ultimate while we're at it!) and you'll have the biggest cast ever for a comic! Let's get George Perez to draw it!

The story would include: Cosmic Boy being presented with evidence that Magneto is his father, Saturn Girl having a telepathic love-affair with Cyclops, Chameleon Boy and Mystique masquerading as each other, Charles Xavier being dubbed "Brainiac 6", all the various iterations of Wolverine (one from each X-team, including Ultimate) taking Triplicate Girl on as his/their sidekick(s) and many more!

Daredevil & Sportacus

Two highly acrobatic super-heroes team-up against the Kingpin. To combat the mobster, Daredevil beats the tar out of him, while Sportacus lectures him on good eating habits.

The Thundercats & The WildC.A.T.s

Lion-O: "Thunder!... Thunder!!... Thunder!!!... Thundercats Ho-oooo!!!!"

Grifter: "Okay, buddy, you called and we came. What do you want?"

Lion-O: "Uhhh... who are you guys?"

Spartan: "We're the WildC.A.T.s. Can we help you with anything?"

Lion-O: "No... I don't think so. I was trying to call the THUNDERcats."

Voodoo: "Oops. Well, I guess we better go. Good luck calling those Thunderagents or whatever."

Lion-O: "That's ThunderCATS!"

Maul: "Yeah. Them."

Okay, so the Thundercats aren't technically super-heroes, but I just had to do this one.

****

Anyone else out there able to think of any other great (but unlikely) team-ups? Feel free to expand beyond the super-hero remit, if you like. I did.
