Missy Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I start out by listing two comic book characters/teams, and you have to link them in six steps or less. EXAMPLE: Cerebus and Bishop 01. Cerebus appeared in an issue of Spawn 02. Spawn crossed with the WILDCATS (in an alternate reality) 03. Zealot (of the WILDCATS) met Logan 04. Logan and Bishop are both X-Men RULES: 01. If a connection is not made within 48-hours, a new pair can be listed. 02. Wait for confirmation. 03. Alternate reality stories count. --a. What If...?, AOA, Elseworlds, etc. 04. Do not use a creator as a connection. --a. i.e. Connecting Marv (Sin City) to Wolverine because Frank Miller has worked on both. --b. Characters and teams only. 05. Research your pair before posting to make sure there is a link. The Punisher and Dr. Doom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Heat Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Excuse me, this is 6 degrees of superHEROES. Dr. Doom is not a hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Excuse me, this is 6 degrees of superHEROES. Dr. Doom is not a hero. *sigh* Nor is the Punisher, technically, but it was much easier to write Six Degrees of Superheroes rather than Six Degrees of Superheroes/Supervillains. Either way I've changed the name to Six Degrees of Separation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cataldi Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Punisher's fought Wolverine. Wolverine and Spiderman have had a Team Up book or two. Spiderman almost joined the Fantastic Four back in the day. Fantastic Four might have had a few run-ins with Dr. Doom now and then. EDIT - I really don't know if I'll be around tonight, so if I'm right, link M to Betty Brant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Correct, though you could have cut the last step as Spidey has had several run-ins with Doom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prez Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Can we just be generic and say that Midnighter is a complete satire of Batman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darque Edge Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 The Authority (of which Midnighter is a member) once had a cross over with Lobo. Lobo turned up in DC vs Marvel, fighting Wolverine. Wolverine was AMALGAMated into Dark Claw with......Batman. I Thank You. Now, Lucifer to Superman.

Missy Posted March 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 The 48 hours are almost up, so here's the answer: Savage Dragon to Superman (crossover) Superman to Spider-Man (crossover) Spider-Man to Daredevil (friends) Daredevil to Black Widow (lovers) Here's a new one: Martian Manhunter to Spawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drubot Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Martian Manhunter with Batman (JLA) Batman to Wolverine (Amalgam) Wolverine to Cerberus (I dunno if this really happened) Cerberus to Spawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Martian Manhunter with Batman (JLA) Batman to Wolverine (Amalgam) Wolverine to Cerberus (I dunno if this really happened) Cerberus to Spawn Not sure if Wolvie and Cerebus met, but there's a MUCH shorter route. CLUE: You have it there; you just need to cut some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Since the 48 hours are up, here's the answer: Graydon Creed to Sabertooth (son/father) Sabertooth to Wolverine Wolverine to Conan (met in What If...?) And here's another one: Dr. Doom to Bart Simpson Hint 01: This is a one person connection. Hint 02: It is a creator, but said creator has been portrayed as a character in both the Marvel Universe and Springfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck, I have that issue of 'What If' as well....it's 'What If...Wolverine got transported to the moon during the phoenix saga' or something along those lines. Fantastic issue. And as far as the other one goes, I'll say Stan Lee. Stan Lee created Dr Doom, and turned up in The Simpsons, as well as Fantastic Four. If I'm right, knock yourself out trying to connect Optimus Prime to Gambit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
