f only you were working as a writer at Marvel during the 60s, Wallace. I want to
read all of these!



Thanks, Eric. I think they'd all work as modern matchups as well. (The one
with the original X-Men would be done a la JB's XMHY!)

1. Doctor Doom and Dormammu- Yes, Doom has secured Cynthia Von Doom's release from Hell, but Mephisto has not yet been called to account for the insults against her and the family of Doom. He promises a significant expansion of Dormammu's realm for some small assistance in a grand design. If Dormammu isn't careful, he could find his dimension annexed under Doom's control as well...

2. Magneto and the Red Skull- Eugenics is eugenics. A tale set in WWII in which Magneto's involvement in the experiments done on mutants is revealed and explored as he becomes an apt pupil to Hitler's hand-picked apprentice, the Skull. Also featuring the bandaged scientist "Hans" from the Invaders tale in which Thor was brought forth to fight on Germany's side in the war.

3. Madame Hydra and Madame Masque- Why would the Maggia work alongside Hydra? And can Stark Industries long survive their stealthy corporate machinations with Captain America a prisoner in the Viper's pit and Tony Stark once again embroiled in a romantic tete-a-tete with his one-time lover? Tales of suspense and romance await...

4. Sauron and Stegron, the Dinosaur Man- Once these two get hold of a time ray, the Jurassic Era might just be the world outside your window... Time is counting down and we're all getting back to when we once belonged as the Avengers have been devolved beyond caveman status into tiny egg-munching voles. Guest-starring Devil Dinosaur!

5. Puppet Master and the Purple Man- A contest between puppeteers conducted via telephone as each seeks to one-up the other with public displays of disaster and degradation utilizing their favorite playthings, super-heroes. With nothing at stake other than bragging rights, can the various heroes unlucky enough to run afoul of these two track them and put an end to these humiliating, increasingly murderous stunts?

6. Ultron and the Destroyer- "Empty Suits" Ultron has downloaded a version of his latest intelligence sharing program into a suit of Hulkbuster armor and used Avengers files on Asgardian sorcery to animate the Destroyer. Now the three of them, Ultron, the Hulkbuster armor, and the Destroyer are going to walk in a straight line across New York City from one end to the other. Go ahead. Just try to stop them.

As ever, guys, you didn't let me down. Wouldn't have come up with those combinations, myself!

We need a new volume of SVTU...

Okay, Robbie, I'll take a whack at a couple of these issues. I'll also reserve the right to treat some of these stories as internecine, as some of the issues of SVTU were Dr. Doom VERSUS Namor, not just working together.

Loki wants to work his wiles on Midgard, but must distract Thor in order to do so. The God of Mischief has found the perfect foil - someone looking for an entertaining distraction. And what could be more entertaining than playing in Asgard for... the Impossible Man!

Ultron and Machinesmith - Determined that the way to take over the world is through its synthetic heroes, these two have taken over the Sentinels to attack the Avengers - but when their goals contradict each other, it's the Sentinels vs. Ultron's army of constructs. And what does guest villain the Mad Thinker have to do with this conflict?

Menace of the Misnomered Madmen - The Dazzler (Burtram Worthington), Electro (Ivan Kronov), Yellowjacket (Rita Demara) and Ms. Marvel (Karla Sofen) have teamed up to rob and pillage, knowing that their "namesakes" will take the blame. Can the Defenders beat this team?

STVU MOVIE EDITION: Yellowjacket and the Vulture - Looking to upgrade his Vulture armor, Adrian Toomes has learned of the technological genius of Darren Cross, and contacts him. Soon, the two find that this partnership is the way to achieve power, wealth, and revenge. It's up to Spider-Man, Ant-Man, and the Wasp to try to save the city - and themselves - from this force.
