Yesterdays Heroes Once More

Back in April 2017 I did a group of Characters unrelated but were Heroes that over the years had  either been forgotten or had not been popular in some time.

These included the likes of Tarzan, The Green Hornet and Kato, British Space Hero Dan Dare, and Princess of Power She -Ra to name a few.

When I started the series I did not have any idea of how I could link all the characters together other than they were characters as I said were no longer popular and in some way forgotten.

So at the end I though what could bring all these heroes together from different time periods. Then I though if some of the heroes enemies could bad together why could the same be allowed for the heroes too..... But who would do it...... ?

Looking at some of my past work I came up with the ideal hero or non hero who could do this. The Doctor himself..... or Dr Who as many people refer to him.

Can you name all of the Heroes ?
I called these Heroes, my "Childhood Avengers !" Most straight out of books and fiction I read as young boy growing up in the 1960's.   Plus I threw in She -Ra as I thought I needed a woman on the team too.  Ok a very powerful one at that...... and a Princess to boot. Dale Arden, Jane Porter and The Maid Marion all could have joined the team...... but they would have wanted saving as was that type of heroine back in the day when they were first written.

This was my depiction of the Original and First Doctor from way back in 1963 and used him and his Tardis as the idea vehicle to bring the many heroes from my blog together to fight the evil alliance of Loki, Norse God of Mischief, The Mekon , Skeletor all lead by Ming The Merciless .



Like in all good stories the Good Guys would have won in the end. ( OR did they only win Round One ? ) 14 against 4 are good odds........ but each of these 4 bad Guys would most likely have an army of 100's  behind them.


As my first look at forgotten heroes appeared to go down well with all those kind people who visit my Blog, I thought I would have another go at doing a similar thing.


BUT this time I would look at Who and Why the First set of Characters needed to be brought together.


and who brought together all of the Bad Guys in the First Place ? It could not have been Ming, he was powerful but not a Time Traveller,  It could not of been The Mekon, Venus was his empire, Skeletor only wanted to conquer Castle Grey-skull and rule Eternia. Even Loki would of only want allies to help he capture the Throne of Asgard.   So I would assume that some one else was pulling the strings behind the scenes. Someone who could offer each of the Villains what they wanted if they worked for him.

I did consider The Doctors nemesis The MASTER. He had his own time machine, but would he be powerful enough to control the others..... ?

Then I came up with the ideal person. A cosmic being who liked to play games..... A being of eminence power who played to win.......  A person from The Marvel Comics Universe...

En Dwi Gast aka The GRANDMASTER. An ageless Elder of the Universe who lives to play games with people and worlds.




Well for Round Two The Grandmaster  had already selected his team of players ( details coming soon ) but who would his next opponent be ?


So I decided that the Next Round  would use the same opponent, but a newer version.

Next Time you will get to see WHO this IS    .......

A clue he lives is a Blue Box Too......


Who's in the BOX ?



Until next time ENJOY !
