Quote:
4. Marvel Two in One Annual #7 (1982)
A super alien has kidnapped the toughest guys in the marvel universe and makes them Box him or he will destroy the earth! Everybody loses against this alien Lennox Lewis so it's up to the Ever Lovin' Blue Eyed Thing to take him down.


(Marvel, oh Marvel why stoop to such levels...)

I never thought that comicdom would ever revisit the Superhero Vs. Boxer theme!

I used to have the Giant Sized DC, Superman vs. Muhammad Ali issue. I read the durn thing so many times...

The Earth is in jeopardy. The alien Skrull race (I forget why or how) have both Supe and Ali hostage, demanding a gladiator style "Fight to the Death"! Supe has to fight under Red Krypt conditions. Ali trains him in "suspended space", 'cause as a regular human, Supe ain't no boxer!

I think I still remember some of the dialogue quote for quote:

Ali's trainer and behind the scene's poetry counsel Angelo Bundee is even featured, giving us this line (partial recollection...) Spoken by Ali- "We're gonna send the Skrull to H*ll!"


Supe sure receives a bruisin'! Still a weird premise for a comic book.
