They didn't do Aquaman vs. Sub-Mariner, or Red Tornado vs. Vision. All the other matchups were predictable, but at least with those they tried something different.<BR/><BR/>Had I been at the editorial helm, all the pairings would have been completely off the wall. Hawkman vs. Hawkeye. Aquaman vs. Iron Man. Black Canary vs. Captain America. Flash vs. Wonder Man. More interesting that way, I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-54281351771302106002007-11-30T07:09:00.000-05:002007-11-30T07:09:00.000-05:00That's She-Hulk all right.The one I don't get is R...That's She-Hulk all right.<BR/><BR/>The one I don't get is Red Tornado versus Captain Marvel (or is it Pulsar these days).
