Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders with Super Heroes

Suzette Scholz with Spider-Man

Marvel Comics once featured the DCC in a story involving Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk titled Southwest Showdown.

                             

The artist renditions above appeared in the comic book.  Here is a quick synopsis:

History: (Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk in: Southwest Showdown) – While on assignment in Dallas, Peter Parker took time out to visit his high school friend Fran, a member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders squad.  The two shopped at Sanger Harris before Fran left with the squad on a national tour.

While traveling on their bus, they got lost during a storm. Arriving at a military base they believed to be Fort Sage, they were invited inside by the nervous soldiers working for the Leader. While the rest of the team rested, Fran and Heather took a look around the compound, accidentally stumbling upon a meeting where they learned the Leader planned to take over a missile system and hold the country hostage. Fran called Peter for help, but was cut off by one of the soldiers.  When a trip to the real Fort Sage turned up no leads, Parker donned his Spider-Man outfit to search the desert.  There, he came across the Hulk battling a platoon of the Leader’s men.  He followed the soldiers back to their base, meeting up with Fran there.  While Spider-Man had some of the Cheerleaders dress in army uniforms to fool their way into other parts of the base, a very ticked off Hulk arrived.   The Leader engaged the two in battle from within a tripod weapon, while sending a legion of Battle Androids into the fray.  As a last ditch effort in defeat, the Leader launched a missile, which the Hulk promptly destroyed.  The real Fort Sage unit arrived and saluted the Cheerleaders for their hand in the situation. The next day, Parker was on the sidelines of the Fort Sage show as the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders shook their stuff.  After the show, Peter and Fran returned to the Sanger Harris store, where they giddily conversed about the back-to-school selection.

(Spider-Man and the Dallas Cowboys: Danger in Dallas) – After Spider-Man and the Dallas Cowboys defeated a plot by the Circus of Crime, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders performed at the Cowboys’ football game against the New York Giants.  [Source:  marvunapp.com]

Not to be outdone, the modern-day DCC did a little a Super Hero action of their own of sorts.  When The Dark Knight Rises was released on DVD, the Batmobile Tour made its way to Cowboys Stadium (now AT&T Stadium) and a lovely quartet of Sweethearts were on the scene.  Sydney, Angela, Mackenzie and Jenna struck a pose with the Caped Crusader’s auto.

The only thing missing is a pairing of Captain America with America’s Sweethearts.  Now that would be both Super and Heroic.

CHEERS!
