I could be wrong about this, but I think Nubia only showed up in three issues, one of those being a Fradon-illustratrated Super Friends appearance.
Once again thinking of the chil-der-in in assembling a collection, a great deal of fun could be had, I think, with either a straight-up Wonder Tot collection or a book with Wonder Tot stories mixed with Superbaby stories and the times that Batman, the Legion, and Lois Lane were turned into infants.
Wonder Tot was prominently featured in the Gal Gadot film, remember, and the stories from the Sixties were wacky and imaginative. If we just kept to those featuring Tot herself and maybe threw in a Wonder Girl tale or two, we could prime the publishing pump for a Wonder Family collection afterwards. They're out of continuity, you say? Every story DC has ever published has been said to be out of continuity at one point or another as they rush breathlessly towards their next Crisis and the next...
If they could do a collection of their greatest ape stories (and they did. I own it!) they could do "Toddling Towards Justice!" or "Crisis on Infant Earths!"
Eric, I'd like to see that FF team-up plan come about, but as individual volumes, one with just the Avengers cross-overs and maybe one with individual heroes like Daredevil. You could do a Spider-Man/FF collection, if that doesn't already exist.
How about a collection of battles against Satan? Marvel could put together an assemblage of Mephisto tales while over at DC, Superman battled the "Devil's Harp," Captain Marvel fought for his evil uncle's lost soul, and Lois married the Devil. I'm certain it wouldn't prove to be an exorcise in futility. :-)
