Hi guys, 

I’m curious as to know if there had been a team up or appearance together of these 3 characters namely war machine, the captain (either John walker or Steve Rogers) and Thor (Eric masterson) or Thunderstrike.

Thanks in advance.

Didn't you already get an answer to this question despite posting in the wrong section?

AFAIK, Walker was never the Captain, so your search would be confined to the brief period during which he was the replacement Captain America and Steve Rogers was just called the Captain. Since that happened in the late 80s and even the War Machine armor wasn't introduced until 1992, it looks like you have your answer.

I would recommend to the OP to just write his fanfic and call it a day.

I would say there’s a couple of earlier posters who have some apologizing to do...

Why? The OP already got that answer, despite not asking about U.S. Agent. It wasn't what he wanted.

Ugh, was that the 90's?  Thor with a pony tail and a sleeveless leather jacket.

This reminds me... has there ever been an NBA team with three #1 draft busts together in the same season? These guys were pushed by Marvel, but never really gained respect. The only one missing is Rage. Can someone photoshop him onto this cover?

To be fair, Rage was a completely original character (that is, not derivative of an existing Marvel character). This was a period where comic sales were booming, and Marvel was looking to cash in by creating entire families of characters around their tentpoles. That's where the push for these three (and the expansion of Midnight Sons, and Fantastic Force, and Force Works, etc.) came from. They wanted a family of titles around anything successful. Even the relatively new New Warriors spawned Nova, Night Thrasher, and Justice spinoffs. A good number of Spider-man (pardon…Spider-men, since we also had Ben Reilly then) family characters also had their own series or minis (Silver Sable, Venom, Solo, Nightwatch, etc) in this period. Not to mention the dozens of mutant titles. Marvel's problem was they wanted tons of titles, but there was a dearth of quality talent. I have a friend who pencilled some stories at the time, and one of the storylines he was working on was written by one of the assistant editors who had never had written for comics before, and basically wrote the same exact story for a couple of continuous issues of a title before he suggested to the editor that maybe they needed to tweak things so they weren't duplicating the previous issue.

Please don't be fair to Rage. He wouldn't appreciate it. What a Mr. T-with-his-attitude-from-Rocky-III rip off.

Ok, seriously, though. He's one of those guys who grew on me when he moved over to New Warriors. Nightwatch, though. Ugh. Spawn when everybody wanted to be Spawn.
