For those of you who have never read this, you owe it to yourself to do so. Marvel Two-In-One Annual #7 featuring a boxing tournament where some of Earth's mightiest heroes (The Thing, Wonder Man, Sasquatch, Thor, Hulk, etc.) square off against an alien gladiator known only as the CHAMPION!!!

For those who remember this awesome tale, do you also remember an episode of Dial M for Monkey which parodies this very comic featuring the late-great wrestling legend "Macho Man" Randy Savage (R.I.P) in the role of the Rasslor (parody of the Champion)?? Sweeeeet. Justice Friends 4-Ever. Macho Man ruuuuules!! Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh yyyyyeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome suggestion. The Champion is one of the Elders of the Universe along with the Collector and the Grandmaster to name just a couple. I remember both the comic and the cartoon you mentioned. That comic is one of the best Thing stories I've ever read. The cartoon is hilarious! During the Rasslor vs. Samurai match, Rasslor taunts his opponent in rhyme, "I do not like your kicks so high. I do not like you Sam-oo-rai!" Great stuff.
