Of course, it was done on more than one occasion, as Howard teamed up with Defenders (but never joind the team - drat!) and Spider-man, among others. However, I'm wracking my brains, but I don't ever recall Howard teaming up with the Thing, which I think wouldn't have been so oddball (they actually have a lot in common). Another apposite team-up would have been Howard and Thor when he was the Thunder Frog. Normal Thor and Howard - now there's an oddball team-up.<br /><br />Otherwise, one odd couple a la Power Man and Iron Fist that I think could actually work out in a variety of settings is Tigra (the late '70s badass version, not the '80s flighty, cowardly and then crazy version) and Nightcrawler. I'd love to see them operating a private detective agency, or working as bounty hunters or something similar.<br /><br />And what does it say about me when the thing that really bothers me about that Archie meets the Punisher cover is that it says "Riverdale High Sock Hop" in the background, but everyone on the dance floor is wearing shoes? If the Punisher is supposed to be the chaperone, he sure dropped the ball on that one...Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-29661119915188502462013-11-12T07:40:57.851-06:002013-11-12T07:40:57.851-06:00In case you missed it on our "Recent Comments...In case you missed it on our "Recent Comments" section of the sidebar, Gerry Conway left us all a comment on the Ms. Marvel post we ran several months ago.

(Kamen meaning "masked"). Specifically the first Kamen Rider whose usually referred to as Ichigo (meaning "one".) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamen_rider<br /><br />In the original Kamen Rider story a science student named Hongo Takeshi was turned into a grasshopper themed cyborg when he was kidnapped by an evil organization known as Shocker which is basically a crazy cult made up of ex-Nazi's and various other criminal types. Comparable to something like Hydra for example. <br /><br />I think it would be awesome to see these two superhero icons from two different cultures have an adventure together. Also for Red Skull to team up with Shocker commandeers Shinigami Hakase or Col. Zol. MattComixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14015552734150732758noreply@blogger.com
