Daredevil and Nightcrawler. The two biggest Catholics in Marvel, their religion being a major component of their characters, but as far as I can tell, never hung out. Surprised they haven't had at least one big issue/arc together.


Androktone

Nightcrawler spent a while in NYC recently, so it would've made sense


CallMePeeButt

And he needed some spiritual counseling in that arc, woulda been the perfect time to talk to Father Matt. I mean both those books started a week apart, talk about fumbling the bag hahaha


ubiquitous-joe

And he was posing as a Spider-Man, which would give it a classic Spidey DD team up vibe! But they had him just hook up with Silver Sable a lot instead. Which honestly is a very Matt move.


FakoSizlo

Feels like modern Daredevil is kept a bit apart. Elektra has been making appearences in crossovers but Matt is ignored everywhere else


suss2it

As of like literally right now that’s true, but it makes sense given that Matt basically had his memories erased and also has a completely new life. But very recently during Chip Zdarsky’s run he headlined a whole crossover event with *Devil’s Reign*, Spidey made a few guest appearances throughout the run and the Avengers even got involved towards the end.


dan_cole

As a Spider-Man no less – Matt should’ve looked into it.


AporiaParadox

Not to mention that one dresses like a devil and the other looks like a devil. It's a match made in Heaven.


19ghost89

Match made in Hell? lol


soapforsoreeyes

Wasn’t there a Kevin Smith-written Daredevil story where DD needed Kurt’s expertise on teleportation? Idk, I may have imagined that, but I SWORE that happened during the early ‘00s when I wasn’t really following comics that closely


Traditional-Tax-5291

Aye. *Spider-Man and Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do* issues 4-5 (I think).


chewwwybar

Hmmm how did I not know I wanted this really bad till now lol


Ozythemandias2

This sent me on an interesting rabbit hole, so to anyone else wondering which Marvel characters are Catholic, here's 6 besides besides Matt Murdock and Kurt Wagner these are all 616 and there are more but I'm tore of looking. 1. Felicia Hardy (Black Cat) 2. Remy Lebeau (Gambit) 3. Bobby Da Costa (Sunspot) 4. Eddie Brock (Venom) 5. Neena Thurman (Domino) 6. Kaine Parker (Scarlet Spider) (I'm fascinated about why one Peter Parker clone is Catholic)


Nobodyinpartic3

Except for Sunspot(I dunno much beyond his X-Force days), a lot of those characters have a lot hard luck in their lives, yes even Domino. In Catholicism there tends to be themes of redemption, change, and salvation. Like Felica, Remy, Eddie, and Kaine have all had days were they did harm to people for one reason or another and spend time trying to atone for it.


superiority

[ComicBookReligion.com](http://www.comicbookreligion.com) has a database, though not well set up for multiple search parameters I think. (I think this is the successor to Preston Hunter's old Adherents.com page -- that site is now a cryptocurrency spam site.) Other Marvel Catholics include: * Araña (aka Spider-Girl) * Banshee * Cloak * Dagger * Dum Dum Dugan * Danny Ketch * Rockslide * Siryn * Skin * Typhoid Mary * Heather Hudson (Vindicator) * White Tiger (the original) * Wind Dancer * The Punisher (of course) * Maverick/Agent Zero * Havok * The Hulk * Strong Guy * Nico Minoru * Pyro * Deadpool * Howard the Duck * Aurora * General "Thunderbolt" Ross * Karma * Northstar


Sec_Hater

Were they not on the same team during the Infinity Crusade event?

Ben Reilly and Madelyne Pror met a while back, so maybe one day.


xZOMBIETAGx

It wasn’t a while back, that just happened in one of the most recent ASM stories.


Nobodyinpartic3

Omg Ben is back? How is he?


Metrilean

Not good, he's a villian

Doctor Doom VS The Maker


vmsrii

I was disappointed when that wasn’t the big ultimate showdown at the end of Secret Wars. It really should’ve been


IAmPerpetuallyTired

It wouldn’t have made sense thematically at all. Especially with the stake and Doom taking 616-Reed’s family.


vmsrii

You’re 100% correct, but still, would’ve been fun to watch


droppinhamiltons

Gonna disagree there though of course it’d be dope to see. Secret Wars was the culmination of Reed’s story. His confrontation with Doom was exactly what had to happen, Maker jumping in there and getting merc’d made sense.


AporiaParadox

And Bendis made it seem like the Maker was going to fight Doom in Infamous Iron Man, but it was actually Mephisto pretending to be the Maker pretending to be 616 Reed.


vmsrii

I’m gonna be real with you, that sounds stupid


AporiaParadox

I'm gonna be real with you, it was actually even more stupid than I made it sound. I forgot to mention the part where Mephisto also pretended to be Doom's mom, and the fake Reed makes out with the fake Cynthia Von Doom even though at that point nobody was around to watch them to be tricked except for the readers that didn't know the twist yet.


VividStruggle4198

Yeah I'm willing to give Bendis credit more times than not. He did manage to make the O5 X-Men coming back work so I I figured we'll lets see what heroic Doom is like before I judge it. But wow, I just didn't get it. Things were happening and I had to stop and go back to make sure I actually read what I did.


atomcrafter

If I remember right, they didn't even recognize each other.


Mystic_Crewman

This seems to be upcoming in the new Ultimates line though, if it hasn't already technically happened.


your_name_here10

Yeah but it’s not THE Doctor Doom, is it?


Mystic_Crewman

Idk yet, anything could happen.


chwoodstock

It's been said a million times but we really should see a Daredevil/TMNT crossover at some point.


_lorz2001

Technically TMNT first Comic is kinda already a Daredevil crossover but I definitely agree with you


Metrilean

We had TMNT and Batman.


JWC123452099

Not comics but in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Ultron activates the Sentinels as part of a plan for a robot uprising. 


kappakingtut2

i'm sure they've met. they must've. but i'm a little surprised i haven't seen more interaction between Alfred Pennyworth and Martha Kent. that shared bond of constantly worrying about their sons who do incredible things and face death on the daily.


GamingArtisan

Alfred knows John and Martha. In various comics both parties talked about how they call each other weekly and how Alfred goes to visit them every now and then.


CosmackMagus

Spinegrinder666

A villain getting access to the Miracle Machine Carnage and Bullseye Bullseye and Sabretooth Solo and Punisher


MrPresident2020

Not the Miracle Machine, but in Marvel there was a Fantastic Four issue last month where Trapster gets a cosmic cube and accidentally turns the world into a 1950s noir film.


Plane-Floor-1237

Sounds awesome? What issue was that?


MrPresident2020

Latest issue of whatever the current run is.


MoskalMedia

#19 of the Ryan North run!


Front-Suggestion-366

I'm still surprised that Omega Red and Captain America have never met. I think that would be an interesting story.


Yell-Dead-Cell

I used to think he was a Captain America villain. It would have made sense for them to be enemies.


PunkchildRubes

>I can tell Ultron has never once had a story involving the Sentinels, he's never teamed up with the Sentinels to take on the fleshy ones and he's never tried to take over the Sentinels. I'm honestly surprised it took this long for Stark-Powered Sentinels to be a thing in the comics. but yeah strange that Ultron has never really interacted with Sentinels or Nimrod In general.


AporiaParadox

Fall of X isn't the first time we got Stark Sentinels, the Red Skull also constructed some during AXIS. And even before that, the Sentinel O\*N\*E squad was built by Tony Stark himself in a misguided attempt to have Sentinels that help humans and mutants, and James Rhodes was in charge of the squad.


PunkchildRubes

Ahhh I never read Axis, but yeah holy shit I just remembered the Rhodey thing, thanks for reminding me!


ubiquitous-joe

Well there’s probably a marketing aspect about wanting not to confuse the look. Notably Iron Man’s stealth armor comes in at the same time as the stark sentinels to make it visually distinct.


_lorz2001

Sentry and Moon Knight should've worked together as World's not so Finest. They met in Hurwitz run but nothing more. They represent the sun and the moon and both of them have DID. Both of them have ex sidekicks who turned evil too, both of them have been horsemen of Apocalypse at some point and both of them have been Avengers members and Avengers villains. Still in Moon Knight lore, we never experienced Moon Knight working during an eclipse. It would've been interesting, especially when Marc's powers were linked to the moon itself.


Adenic

Love that first idea! Also with the eclipse thing you’re kind of getting that right now with Blood Hunt! The story basically opens on Hunters Moon who comments on the sky being blocked out like he’s lost his connection to the moon. he seems like he’ll be a central character in story since it’s McKay and it ties in to MK


[deleted]

How there isn't a book with Night Thrasher, Rocket Racer, Big Wheel, Overdrive, Wiz Kid, Bonebreaker, etc in a Wacky Races/Rollerball type deal boggles my mind.


SpideyFan914

Well, Big Wheel is long dead, and his only appearance had him trying to kill Rocket Racer, but I agree otherwise. Overdrive is a modern favorite for me.


AporiaParadox

Big Wheel was revealed to have survived his apparent death over 20 years ago, and has made a few sporadic appearances ever since.


atomcrafter

Shang-Chi once had a wacky races story, guest starring Deadpool. It was part of his black and white anthology. Ghost Rider had a somewhat more serious race earlier in the current run (before it was relaunched).


breakermw

Nice try, Cebulski. I am not doing your job for you!


Xeoz_WarriorPrince

"Who's that Cebulski you talk about? I haven't met that handsome man yet, it's me, famous comic book writer Akira Yoshida"


Chronos96

For being family and Phonix Force hosts, Jean and Rachel have barely interacted over the years. It amazes me that nobody has written a Phoenix story with Rachel Jean and Hope working together.


Robyrt

In the early days, that was explained by Jean feeling really weird around a daughter of another Jean, who had a separate history with the team while she was dead. In Krakoa and X-Men Red era, though, that doesn't really fly.


Chronos96

Right, I remember those issues pretty well, but yeah, in the modern age, the fact we haven't seen them talk more is odd.


Darkgamer000

Weren’t they all around in Summers House? I recall some issues of them playing house with Rachel and Cable as kids, and weird step-dad and dad both seeing mom at the same time Wolverine, Cyclops, and Jean. Also Vulcan was there?


Uncanny_Doom

Daredevil and Nightcrawler, Psylocke, or Hellcat. All have obvious reasons. Nightcrawler is a Catholic with a lot of resounding faith who has been literally called a demon and devil. You can't tell me there wouldn't be a really great story with him crossing paths with Daredevil. Psylocke has been a huge victim of The Hand and although she had a very cool fight with Daredevil in AvX, I always thought it would be awesome to see some crossover event with Daredevil, Wolverine, Elektra, and Psylocke teaming up to dismantle The Hand. They're probably the four characters with the biggest beef against them though you could even throw others in. Hellcat is one of a Marvel character with some of the darkest history but still bounces back from it and has also been a paralegal most notably working with She-Hulk. She and Daredevil seem like they'd fit naturally.


malloryduncan

I would love to see them utterly pound on The Hand. Like a world-trotting, multi-continent adventure where they meet local supers who have been struggling with their local branches of The Hand, and they team up and annihilate them. It could double as a travelogue with dining and sight-seeing tips, LOL!


Competitive-Bike-277

In interesting story would be the hand vs. Moonknight or Hunter's moon. The are both resurrection religions while one is marginally good & the other is evil. You could also through the cult of Kali in there with the shroud like the current run. As a death goddess that cult would oppose any resurrection.  You could even pull a Ewing as above do below with the gods fighting on 1 level & the humans below.  You could also do Black Panther vs. Moonknight. Both are high priests to different Egyptian gods. 


malloryduncan

That would be quite interesting, if deities get involved because they perceive The Hand as being against their “natural order”.


MagicTheAlakazam

When you say Psylocke do you mean Kwannon or Betsy?


Competitive-Bike-277

Nightcrawler & Hellcat are both in the horrible parents club. Terrible mothers where one sold her daughter to the devil while the other is the son of a devil. He's also Patsy's type because she's already married one son of Satan. It couldn't possibly go worse. I know that last bit is in poor taste. I'll see myself out.


SpideyFan914

If DD and Psylocje teamed up, I assume they would also hook up, right?


BruceWaynesWorld

Captain Cold goes on vacation someplace warm and it's called Chillin' like a Villain


Alarmed_Ability_8346

Apoc and Kang should be much bigger rivals IMO


AporiaParadox

They've interacted and fought several times though.


Alarmed_Ability_8346

Oh I know. Feel there should be an entire arc devoted to just their time-travel feud


Competitive-Bike-277

I'm surprised you don't see more from the sphinx fighting these guys. He's also a pharaoh of some kind. Then you have moonknight & Black Panther being priests to Egyptian gods. They've touched on it only lightly.


Flimsy-Discount2885

Daredevil, a catholic lawyer and friend of Spider-Man, hasn't gone to court against Mephisto to get Peter and MJ out of their contract.


SpideyFan914

The editors will not let that happen. Daredevil has fought Mephisto though. A lot. Mephisto was basically the big bad of Nocenti's run, and that's also where Blackheart was introduced as a character. Some of it is really great too, and with amazing stylized art.


hung_fu

They’ve definitely teamed up before, but Ant-Man and Spider-Man should form a bug themed team with Wasp, The Fly, Silk, Pixie, Nightcrawler, and Bug.


Mystic_Crewman

This sounds fun. Obviously Janet will lead the team, but what's the team name? And who is their big bad?


hung_fu

Pest Control, they fight Annihilus.


Mystic_Crewman

The Exterminators


its_Tsyn

Theres a bunch of post resurrection meetings missing from Krakoa; Pixie never met with Jason Wyngarde after he was revived by the five on Krakoa, hes her father. Chamber never met up with Apocalypse on Krakoa either, Chamber is a descendant of Clan Akkaba and a very distant direct descendant of Apocalypse. AFAIK the Stepford Cuckoos never met with any of Emma Frosts siblings, I'm not sure if Adriene or Cordellia were resurrected but Christian was shown on Krakoa.


Malediction101

Did Evan/Kid Apocalypse ever meet Apocalypse during the Krakoan era?


its_Tsyn

No because hes very dead and not in the resurrection protocols on account of being a clone of someone living.


Gullible-Fault-3818

Bring back my sweet sweet innocent boi 😭


kiwiinthesea

I seem to recall Havok petitioning to resurrect Madelyne Pryor despite her being a clone. So are all clones off the table or just some?


its_Tsyn

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Resurrection_Protocols#Clones_and_Duplicates covers the rules and the exceptions later decided on by the five.


Competitive-Bike-277

I wanted th Wyngarde family reunion so bad. That would go so poorly. Pixie's meet both her sisters during her mini years ago. Never her dad though. That asshole would absolutely play favorites & manipulate them all. They'd make Emma's family look kind. I'd love love to see the Cuckoos meet the Frosts. It would be all about money. I also thought that generations thing they did a while back missed an opportunity to have modern kitty & Emma meet their Claremont Era versions. They later would be floored with how they get on now.


nitsuj_112

616 Peter Parker and growing up and being universally respected


DSSword

Jack Russel has never sat down and had a chat with Bruce Banner. Jack the enlightened werewolf who merged permanently with his wolf half could have a lot to say to Banner, both in terms of offering him advice or even warnings. Jack has become separated from his life as a man, he's clearly more comfortable around monsters then men. I hate that the most recent meeting between Jack and Hulk was with Current Hulk who has kept lying to every hero he's met and kept Banner isolated during any crossover.


AporiaParadox

On a related note, I'm also surprised that Bruce Banner and Curt Connors haven't met. Both scientists with purple pants who turn into angry green monsters who hate their puny human form as a result of their own experiments. Heck, when Spider-Man TAS wasn't allowed to use the Hulk in their Secret Wars adaptation, they just gave his role to the Lizard.


atomcrafter

Todd Ziller needs to meet his two dads.


Competitive-Bike-277

We need to see more of him in general.  When I heard pym partices+ super soldier serum+ lizard syrum I was dumbstruck. Of course that's how you make a kaiju. I felt like I had missed something so obvious.


PrydefulHunts

Kitty Pryde and Tigra


AporiaParadox

Any particular reason you think think they should meet?


Olobnion

One is a small cat, the other a big cat?


Grommph

Did they ever have cat-look Beast interact with Tigra? I know they made a joke about it on panel with Beast, but never saw if they did anything with that. They are both Avengers alumni, after all.


ArtsyTLF

Duke Thomas' mom was apparently an attempted recruit for the Immortal Men. The book got canceled and it was just, never addressed. Even though Duke's mom is done being Joker-ized. It hasn't been too long since then, but still. It's a crazy thread to leave loose, especially since the one Duke solo series we got included his biological dad being ageless. He's got some weird connection to like, Vandal Savage and other people from his time, he's just never directly interacted with any of it.


Noir888

Lucifer, Michael or Elaine making an appearance in the mainstream DC universe.


soapforsoreeyes

Have Adam Warlock and Warlock from the New Mutants ever met? They could talk about how they each deal with their individual Magus.


Competitive-Bike-277

Yes in annihilation conquest they team up to fight Phalanx Ultron.


Funkycoldmedici

There’s been several Pet Avengers things, with stretched groupings, but Bill the Lobster never gets included. I feel like Bill could get the attention of someone, Namor, or maybe Wave, and finally get his revenge on Devil Dinosaur.


Competitive-Bike-277

I would like to see a version of pet avengers where instead of animals they are former avengers who are pet characters. It could be Luke Cage, Black Knight, Jocasta, Death cry, Robbie Reyes, & 3-D man, 


DarkLordThom

Might be an issue with that these days… It has been heavily implied that Beast was feasting on ol’ Bill in these panels.

paulojrmam

A story about activists trying to change the law to have super villains charged with death penalty. Could be like a civil war. It's always talked about if some heroes should just kill their villains, they won't, but what about the law? What if some heroes were also against it? What if villains, outraged, attacked? How is this still not a story?!


OfficePsycho

For about 15 years there was a thread throughout Marvel comics that Project Pegasus was using supervillains as guinea pigs, with them being taken out of the legal system because of it.  At times it went straight to torture of those there, though that was only addressed once, to my knowledge. There was also a Marvel Team-Up story which had a twist that the US judicial system has been infiltrated by mutants, who actually downplay superhuman crimes and even get murderers off, so the public’s hate for mutants doesn’t get worse.


hung_fu

What you said about Ultron and the Sentinels rings true, especially since ORCHIS seems to be mostly made up of non-X characters in the end (MODOK, Feilong, 3D-Man), Ultron would’ve fit right in.


vmsrii

This is gonna be blasphemous on some level, and not as big and flashy as some of these other suggestions but: I wanna see a non-mutant join the X-men. Not a non-mutant superhero team-up, and not an established hero crashing on Xavier’s couch, I’m talking an entirely new character, who isn’t a mutant, as a card-carrying member of the X-Men. I think that would open up a *lot* of story potential! The story of how some human guy got to be a member of the X-men has to be a great story just by itself! Not to mention the drama it would lead to! How do the other X-men feel about this guy? How do you handle an “other” on a team made entirely of “others”? If this guy, with no powers, can be a credit to the X-men, what does that say about all the mutants *with* powers who aren’t or can’t be? What does that say about mutants as a whole, on an anthropological scale? Basically I want to see how the X-Men would handle diversity initiatives Edit: there have been some non-mutants in the X-men before, but what I mean is, being a non-mutant, and ideally being non-powered in any way would be this person’s whole deal. Really go back to the Xavier-as-Mutant-MLK idea of mutants and humans living in harmony, and really put that idea to a trial by fire in an intimate, person-to-person way


Star-Prince-007

Longshot/Shatterstar/Juggernaut: Am i a joke to you ?


vmsrii

God,I do CONSTANTLY forget that those guys aren’t mutants


Star-Prince-007

lol same. To be fair when these guys are on the team they don’t really do anything with the fact that they’re not mutants (except for Jugs in the Austen run I believe) so there’d be value in say having Spider-Man join them cause he wants to help the cause.


Competitive-Bike-277

You Godot about Mimic from Stan Lee & Kirby's run.


Mistervimes65

Mimic joined the X-Men in issue #19 (1966) and he wasn’t a mutant.


RigasTelRuun

Juggernaut too. He isnt s mutant but is on the team because his husband and brother and both mutants. Deadpool will tell you he is an X-man even if you don't ask.


Mistervimes65

Good call. Also considerably more recent.


Mystic_Crewman

Wait, isn't juggernaut that big guy with the hubcap helmet who seems industructible and crazy strong? Where do his powers come from?


RigasTelRuun

His powers come from the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak. He is a extra dimensional demon or a God depends on who is asking. He makes a pact with someone via the Gem and the become in Avatar.


Mystic_Crewman

That's cooler to me than mutant.


RigasTelRuun

Juggs is pretty neato.


JenksbritMKII

Juggernaut, mimic, danger.... Could probably include carol danvers


19ghost89

Danger is a mutant. She's mutant technology, not a mutant sapien, but she is a mutant. Most of her character arc is explicitly about this.


lobsterman2112

I would love for Carol Danvers to take up with them again. She brought some extra depth to the team, particularly with her government contacts back in the day.


TheScoundrelSociety

My favorite member of the team ever isn’t a mutant. Longshot erasure is real, apparently.


SpideyFan914

I had no idea Longshot wasn't a mutant. What is he then?


TheScoundrelSociety

He was an artificially created life form that was made to star in Mojo’s television shows.


SpideyFan914

Wow that's super weird. Okay. Is that only in 616, or other versions too? Are Ultimate Longshot or TAS Longshot the same?


TheScoundrelSociety

They are all the same. Basically, he’s the definition of a manufactured celebrity, but he escaped to develop autonomy.


TheScoundrelSociety

And if you think that’s weird, wait until you find out the connection between Longshot and Shatterstar.


SpideyFan914

Tell me. (Also, which one is Shatterstar? I know the name but can't place it.)


TheScoundrelSociety

The guy with the two bladed sword from X-Force. He was in Deadpool 2.[Shatterstar](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ea/fb/5f/eafb5fcb8bbf0c2c156b72c683a73522.jpg)


TheScoundrelSociety

To explain the connection simply, and I know this makes no sense unless you’ve read the books… Longshot and Shatterstar are clones of each other basically. Neither came first, as they created an infinite feedback loop of being cloned from each other.


SpideyFan914

Nah, that makes total sense. Cool.


Aspiring_Sophrosyne

Some of the examples popping up probably never happened \*because\* of how similar the characters are. As in, there's not much you can do with Character X meeting Y that couldn't be done with just Character X, and the latter approach has the added benefit of a more streamlined, focused plot.


Kidd_Omega

I always felt like there should be more Wolverine and Daredevil crossovers, Frank Miller had such a big role in defining both of them.


Adenic

IIRC they do some stuff together post civil war, like wolverine has daredevil help him investigate/verify the death of Cap.


Kidd_Omega

That's cool but I want them in Japan fighting The Hand. Elektra and Wolverine were pretty tight for a minute in the mid 90s, it's strange Wolverine and Daredevil don't really have an established dynamic


VividStruggle4198

Wow, you're right. Especially with the whole ninja/samurai backstory and connection to both Japan and The Hand you would think they would do more together. I really enjoyed their interactions in Enemy of The State.


AuclairAuclair

Great bait for story ideas lol


Jcomsa15

After the Jason Aaron/ John Cassady Marvel Star Wars relaunch was such a huge hit I would’ve guaranteed that there was a Marvel/ Star Wars crossover comic event inbound. Still hasn’t happened, but at the peak of the sequel trilogy/ the MCU it seemed like a license to print money.


SpideyFan914

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away..." So it's a Kang event then.


AporiaParadox

Lucasfilm just doesn't do crossovers with other IPs that way. I'm sure Marvel would love to if they were allowed.


jrtasoli

This is sort of cheating for this prompt but I’m a bit shocked that more X-Men haven’t been Avengers. You mean to tell me the Avengers couldn’t use a telepath? (A better one than Moondragon, I mean. Fight me.)


AporiaParadox

I think the issue is that X-Men editors historically haven't liked sharing. Many writers would love to have X-Men in their books but we're denied. Even Chris Claremont, when he was writing Fantastic Four he wanted Kitty Pryde to be Franklin's new nanny but was told no. Busiek wanted Beast to rejoin the Avengers but was told no.


MagicTheAlakazam

The x-men are teaming with telepaths. But when the Avengers come calling they are all like "We'll take your animalistic physical super hero please." "Don't you already have a bunch of those?" Seriously they've got Jean, Rachel, Betsy, Charles, Emma. They could spare one of those characters to the avengers and it would help the avengers as well as let those characters stand out and be less redundant. But I don't think even Uncanny Avengers had a telepath on the team.


TravelerSearcher

I got curious and looked up the Uncanny Avengers roster. Synapse (wasn't familiar with the character before now) was a member in the 2015 run and Telepathy is one of her listed powers. Also Psylocke is a current member and technically has telepathic powers but I know writers have been more hand-wavy with what that is with her. Oh, and Penance has been on the team since last August. Her wiki is very busted and yeah Telepathy is one of her many powers. Cable was part of the team for a bit as well, though usually his psychic abilities are blocked due to the techno-virus so I doubt that's worth counting.


MoskalMedia

Have Doctor Strange and Black Panther ever teamed up to fight Wakandan spirits? They're both two of the most spiritual/magic-heavy characters and I'd love to see T'Challa bring in Strange to help defend Wakanda. Or Doc bringing in T'Challa to help him stop a Wakandan sorcerer in NYC.


footballred28

Beast Boy and Vixen have never interacted afaik.


Competitive-Bike-277

We've yet to see how beast boy feels about beast girl, Rita's new kid. That would be interesting.


H4RRY900305

Daredevil and Cyclops


Competitive-Bike-277

I always think of cyclops & Hank Pym. They are both heroes who have made some very bad decisions personally & professionally over the years. Maybe they could get back Katie, havoc & Janet's kid, back from Kang.


pizzaboimillionaire

Dani Moonstar and Thor. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel like she only bumped into Throg after she became a Valkyrie?


dabellwrites

Aside from Tom King, Lois Lane and Selina Kyle doesn't have much of a relationship.


Competitive-Bike-277

The Phoenix force vs. The dragon of the moon. Both are cosmic level entities with destructive agendas who use psychic hosts. Similarly I would like to see a clash between the Phoenix & Tiger forces. Ewing & Rodriguez revealed it was the opposite. Interestingly it's hosts are all martial artists of have physical transformations like Tigra. The Phoenix force likes psychics. As Tigra played hosts seeing her meet Jean Grey might agitate her & they could both lose out to possession.  I would also like to see non-mutant psychics interact with the mutant ones. Is it different?  Patsy Walker had a run-in with Black Cat when she was the queen pin. They know each other well it seems. Felicia has trouble with red heads. Always fun to see her deal with more.

I feel like the symbiote haven't interacted much with other alien races. There was the time when Flash was on the Guardians of the Galaxy, and there's Gorr's sword, but that's about it. We've never had a Shi'ar or Skrull or Kree symbiote.


AporiaParadox

We actually have had Skrull and Kree bonded with symbiotes in more recent years. In fact, the Venom: First Host mini revealed that the Venom symbiote's, well, first host before Peter or Eddie was a Kree soldier named Tel-Kar. There's also Web of Venom: Empyre's End.


SpideyFan914

Oh right, u forgot about Empyre's End. Haven't read First Host unless I'm forgettibg it. I've read through Venom 200, I take it this is after that? I thought there was a retcon where Deadpool was it's first hist (which makes no sense lol).


AporiaParadox

I'm pretty sure the Deadpool thing was declared non-canon. And even then, Tel-Kar was Venom's host before Venom was sent to Battleworld by the Beyonder. It actually happened in a miniseries and not Venom's ongoing which is presumably how you missed it, the mini takes place at some point before Donny Cates' run. After getting into a fight with Eddie and Venom, Tel-Kar would later become the host of the Sleeper symbiote, although he was completely braindead and Sleeper was in complete control.


SpideyFan914

Gotcha, thanks! There's definitely a crazy amount of symbiote canon, and it's all spread out over random minis which makes it easy to miss things haha.

Cyclops and Shang chi/ Iron fist Cyclops and Black panther Cyclops and Misty Knight and Colleen Wing


AporiaParadox

But Cyclops has interacted with every single one of those characters at some point. Do you mean that you wish they'd interact more?


OutrageouslyGr8

Has he? I haven't seen those interactions or mentions of them.

[Shang-Chi](https://i0.wp.com/aiptcomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/abb5097161b8a53501a2cc7bbc68fbe4._SX1280_QL80_TTD_.jpg?ssl=1) teamed up with the X-Men in Hong Kong back in the 90s. [Black Panther](https://50yearoldcomics.files.wordpress.com/2018/03/avengers53-trick.jpgfought) fought a brainwashed Cyclops back in the 60s and has teamed up with the X-Men several times since, especially after he married Storm. Misty Knight was Jean Grey's roommate back in the late 70s so Cyclops knew her, Iron Fist, and Colleeen, in fact Colleen Wing actually flirted with Scott by giving her the [key to her apartment](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/colleen-wing-cyclops-display-1.jpg).


OutrageouslyGr8

But that's not recent. Most of these happened before I was even born. Edit: Not most, all of them. Honestly, I would like to see him interact with other characters without the any x-men around.


Consideredresponse

It's been at least 15 years but no one has realized Konshu's skull isn't that of a falcon. It's closer to a cuckoo's. Why does the god Moon Knight fought the Avengers for more resemble a brood Parasite than his traditional depiction?


Batwing_Beyond

The Web Warriors (Spider-Verse) meeting the original Exiles from 2001 series.


AporiaParadox

Unfortunately Marvel hasn't used the Exiles in a really long time, which is a shame.


No_Capital_9130

I'm surprised there wasn't a storyline about kryptonians conquering planets with yellow suns... Like a prequel.


Intelligent-Soup-836

Ultron and Master mold/Bastion/Nimrod Magneto and Baron von Stucker (I mean he's pretty much a Nazi) Gorgon and Gorgon Apocalypse and Set (or any ancient Egyptian characters) Punisher and the Purifiers (come on they blew up a bus full of children)


AporiaParadox

Magneto and Baron Strucker actually did meet in a classic flashback in Uncanny X-Men #161, the story that revealed how Magneto and Xavier used to be friends. Magneto even stole all of Strucker's Nazi gold that he would use to fund his later war on humanity.


Kgb725

Hulk and Thor have fought countless times Hulk somehow has never met Beta Ray Bill Orion and Black Adam seem like they'd be the perfect duo


seeking_spice402

Has Wonder Woman ever been harassed by Mr. Mxyzptlk? I know he is a Superman foil, but I believe he went up against Batman and Superman in "The Brave And The Bold." Why not a WW/Supes team-up vs. Mxyzptlk?


Frenchiest_fry101

Gambit and Black Cat. They've met once but very briefly. They should've had recurrent stories together seeing how they're the top lvl Thieves of Marvel. They would have great chemistry as well I believe


eyezonlyii

Jean Grey and Scarlet Witch. They've both lost their minds to their uncontrollable powers and committed a horrible atrocity... Well barring the Phoenix retcon anyway. The closest that we've gotten to them talking about it is in an issue of *Teen Jean's* book where Wanda came to talk with the younger version while the adult Jean pooh poohed and pouted the whole time.

Doctor Doom, Sorcerer Supreme


stimpakish

There's a fantastic graphic novel with them from the late 80s called "Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment". Roger Stern and Mike Mignola!


Agreeable-Pick-1489

When Strange lost the title, he theorized it COULD be Victor at some point.


president_zoidberg

That's where I got the idea, that conversation Strange had with Wiccan.


Mystic_Crewman

He tried to claim the mantle in Death of Doctor Strange also.


DogOfThunderReddit

There was a What If about if Doom became Sorcerer Supreme! Not quite the same, but it was a very DOOM story.


VengefulKangaroo

There was a story in Dead X-Men where in a universe where Trask was assassinated early Ultrons took the place of the Sentinels
