During the rumored FF hold, should DC run a Challengers of the Unknown ...with powers!

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

glad this thread was (semi-)necro'd!

Nobody cares about the FF anymore

hyperbole ftw!

Hell yeah.

What's more, Ralph Dibny and Sue Dibny should be the pairing, and Sue should still be a ghost! Or rather, a half-ghost. Like somehow her ghostiness is intact but she can become tangible, like she's only a half-ghost!

But wait, there's more!

Firestorm and Frankenstein round out the team.

I'd love that team as a F4 clone. Frankie and Elongated Man are 2 of my favorite characters, after all...

Doesn't really work since all those are equal, or in some cases, better than their alter-company counterpart.

lol?

Maybe the Dan Didio reboot of the challengers can gain super powers. Don't know how they can bring back the characters that Dan Didio killed off. Or maybe the Howard Chaykin challengers can be given some interesting super powers.

Sweet baby Kal-El this isn't the Marvel v Dc thread.

Ok what about instead, if during the supposed F4 lull, Dynamite published a temporary A-Team with superhero powers book.

Where the suped-up Van breaches some dimension/universe barrier, and they absorb the temporarily unused analogues powers?

Hannibal - some kind of mutable stretch-skin transforming identity power. Water
B. A. Baracus - some kind of rocky/earth power. Earth
"Howling Mad" Murdock - The volatile explosive fire power. Fire
Face - (the pretty blond ones) in an ironic twist invisibility power. Air

Dynamite could create their own Fantastic Four from public domain characters--Plymo the Rubber Man (stretching hero, C-M-O COMICS No. 1); the Voice, the Invisible Detective (invisisible hero, POPULAR COMICS 53); Wildfire (female fire hero--SMASH COMICS 25); It (Theodore Sturgeon’s 1940 pulp monster).

Dc has elongated man, invisible hood, firebrand and monolith. Primal force also had Golem.

[Thor-Ul]

Don't forget than DC has their own FF team in the Future Family of earth-8.

[colonyofcells]

If dc does a new coie story, dc could include team ups with the universes with characters similar to marvel and image.

Dc has elongated man, invisible hood, firebrand and monolith. Primal force also had Golem.

They no longer have Monolith. Jimmy and Justin were able to buy the rights to the series, and the first four issues of the series were reprinted by Image. Obviously, they can't reprint the Batman issues, but they may be able to reprint the rest of the series. They also mentioned that they'd like to do more with the chracters, which I'd love to see.

Golem fits the role, though. Or Cliff Steele, who has more than few Ben Grimm traits.

[Jim Kelly]

If DC was going to have its own FF, I'd want it to be Ralph and Sue Dibny with Cliff Steele and Beatriz da Costa. I know that Sue has no metahuman abilities, but she did have tech skills in her Justice League days. Maybe she could be some kind of modern Phantom Lady, who becomes invisible to technology.

[Slaughter]

Both teams were created by Jack Kirby. Not sure how he can rip off his own idea.

Time Travel!

Like this. The "seemingly out of their league" vibe is what we're after, i think....

Yeah, the concept is great.
Maybe thrown them exploring space, or parallel Earths, or weirdo dimensions, etc.

I haven't read the other pages, all I know is that Keith Giffen has to draw to revamp! ( or the re-revamp since the Challs have already appeared in the nu 52)
