Grim vs Gritty: Night Man and Wolverine Malibu/Marvel Crossover

[glprime]

By request of werehawk.



So yeah, there was a time right as Marvel was acquiring Malibu that they had the characters of the Ultraverse transported to 616 and various examples of Lets You And Him Fight abounded.




So Night Man finds himself in what he thinks is the familiar surroundings of his past; a "Playland" where he grew up or something.

Nope. 'Fraid you're in an unknown carnival and about to be held at the mercy of the villain Arcade. But first, meet your dancing partner:



Whoo! Background effects! Go computers! (and YES, this is sans-adamantium, bone claw Wolvie, but not mindless-animal-on-all-fours-Wolvie... although apparently tumor-growing-from-the-latissimus-dorsi-Wolvie).

After a brief fight where Logan slices up Night Man's arms real good and Nighty uses taser gloves, they finally calm down, Night Man says he's not from this world, so Logan points how they have to move forward through the traps Arcade laid to escape.




Does the robot have a terrifying deep, metallic laugh, or a super-annoying repetitive laugh like in TOYS? You decide.




Eww, the bones, the BONES. :{




In the final room, the heroes have to move within lit up patterns or spontaneously combust.








Wouldn't be the '90s without copious amounts of WAAAAAAAAAANGST.

There was also (among others) a Hulk/Prime crossover, and I really should share the REAL first Exiles series. We'll see.

Resurrection Man profile starting real soon, I swears.

I love scans_daily. It's never just you!

And there is literally ONE PAGE where Arcade says more than a single sentence, and it boils down to him saying, "I like Murderworlds. They're fun. More fun than regular worlds. But this stuff kills Wolverine. Night Guy might 'upset the apple cart'... naaaaaah."

He literally says "naaaaah."

[lascoden]

Really? He gets a hold of the Infinity Gems, unlimited power, enough to kill Death itself, and he uses to make a bunch of Night Men? Yikes.

[werehawk]

Thanks for the post!

Oh, the 90's. I don't know if I can take Loki or the Infinite Gems seriously now (Before the Illuminati, there was Night Man!). I did like how Arcade cleaned them up though, like dressing a turkey before eating it.

[kraesil]

As much as I applaud Loki's choice in creating a bunch of Night Men, I really think SOMEBODY has to come up with better ideas for Superhero fighting.

[darkblade]

Arcade might have a better success rate if his Murderworlds were used on one hero at a time. Every time I see him he's going after a team up of heroes.

[glprime]

He'd planned that this time, but NM threw a wrench in it. (although really, with healing factor Wolverine, I fail to see how machine guns, razor sharp bots, and sticky goo he can easily cut through is going to be a threat).

[goggle_kid]

I'm surprised that we never had a Night Man/Shadow Man crossover. Who wouldn't want to see the 90s two greatest saxophone playing superheroes team up with each other?

"Taffy dissolving chemical"?

Tonight, the role of Wolverine will be played by Arnim Zola.

So what did happen with the Night Man on 616?

My god, seeing this brings back memories of that corny syndication TV Show!, the days right before Hercules and Xenia...There was Night Man!
