1945 Captain America: Super-Axis

Need a better title…

We open with the scene from Captain America: The First Avenger, where SS officers demand to see Schmidt as the Führer wants the tesseract weapons for regular soldiers, not just Hydra. In addition he is worried about the growing threat that Schmidt poses.

Here we see that he means to conquer the world, including Berlin. He kills the officers, shocking Arnim Zola.

This scene would be cut from CA:FA and put here instead as, up till now, he has had the support of the Nazi party.

He now needs to bring his plans forward before he loses the element of surprise. He goes to visit Lady Lotus.

She has Hydra goons waiting on her, hand and foot. Schmidt remarks that she seems to be making herself very comfortable (implying that she is mind controlling them (which she totally is)). She says if she's going to be stuck with Hydra she may as well make the most of it.

Schmidt asks her to enact the next phase of their plan as the murdered officers will be missed soon and the Nazis will investigate their "disappearance". They can't allow any disruption after all they have worked for. She reminds him that it is not her plan. He says her parents are not safe in the internment camp so she should do as she is told. She agrees through gritted teeth.

She has installed sleeper agents at the London SSR base and also in Talokan. They had been in Hydra's custody but were 'liberated' by the allies and Invaders in the previous movie.

She activates them by psychically reciting a series of seemingly unconnected words to them, similar to Captain America: The Winter Soldier. This means she doesn't have to control them all the time they just follow more general psychic instructions (e.g. you work for Hydra now).

The brainwashed Talokanil free the captured Meranno and Krang who lead them in an assault on Talokan. Namor, Namora and Attuma lead a resistance.

The brainwashed SSR agents free the captured Warrior Woman and Master Man who lead them in an assault on the SSR base in London. Agent Carter, the Human Torch and Howard lead a resistance.

Meanwhile Captain America and the Howling Commandos have just gone radio silent as they hunt down Zola, who is still on the Hydra train. The train scene proceeds as per the movie. Bucky is lost.

After 3 films showing Bucky and Steve's friendship, the fall will have more emotional weight.

Not knowing who is friend or foe, Namor's Tri-Team are forced to flee Talokan. They head to London.

Steve and co arrive at the SSR base early on the second day of the siege, Namor's team in the evening and turn the tide of the battle. Members of Super-Axis escape.

Peggy and the team are forced to fight their friends, some of whom are killed. Those who survive activate their cyanide capsules and die. The London base and the surrounding area is badly damaged.

This gives more urgency to the Zola interrogation scene and more poignancy to the blast damaged pub scene between Steve and Peggy.

Zola gives up Schmidt's last stronghold. The whole team head out there to stop him using his tesseract powered weapons of mass destruction on the world.

Steve gets them in and they spread out, looking for a way to defeat Super-Axis and stop Red Skull. Peggy and Jim find Master Man and Warrior Woman and a battle ensues. Jim goes toe to toe with Master Man and his personal squad of Hydra lackeys. Julia plays a game of cat and mouse with Peggy. It gets perilous for Peggy at times, but she is canny and manages to wound her with her pistol. Willie is bested by Jim again. Both the super soldiers retreat.

Steve and the Howling commandos are mopping up Hydra minions and pursuing Red Skull.

Howard and the Tri-Team find Lady Lotus with her brainwashed Hydra goons. Attuma and Namora easily defeat the goons. A furious Namor tries to kill Lady Lotus (she cannot control him). She turns Attuma and Namora against him.

Howard calls for them all to stop and listen.

He manages to convince Namor that despite her actions she is also a victim of the Red Skull, that she's not really had a choice. That she told him at least part of the truth when they captured her before. That her parents really are interred in California and Schmidt has been using them as leverage.

Howard suggests releasing all the brainwashed Talokanil in return for her release. Namor cannot countenance this. Howard says if she removes her control, you can defeat Meranno without fear of harming your people. He tells him about the harrowing scenes at the SSR base and the cyanide capsules.

Namor says he cannot let her go after what she has done.

Howard says why would she release your people if you don't.

Namor thinks. He says if she betrays him he will find her and kill her.

She releases Namora, Attuma and all the others. We have a very brief scene of Meranno, about to have himself crowned king of Talokan, being turned on by dozens of formerly brainwashed subjects. He flees.

Lotus says what about my parents?

Namora says, why not get them yourself? There aren't many who could stop you.

She says what about Red Skull?

Howard says leave Red Skull to us.

Steve meets up with Peggy and Colonel Phillips in the hallway as per the movie and they get after Schmidt, Steve stowing away on the plane.

Meanwhile, Meranno has arrived and joined up with Super-Axis and the remaining Hydra soldiers. The SSR team converges on their position. We cut back and forth between their battle and Steve's infiltration of the plane.

The fight between Cap and Skull should be huge as this is the last time they will fight.

Peggy manages to finish what she started and caps Julia (not before kicking some SSR butt though). Willie tries to get to her and gets caught in the crossfire. As she dies, Julia calls him an idiot.

Willie appeals to Jim as they were friends. Jim is conflicted as he has the real Jim's memories, but ultimately decides that that isn't really him and leaves Master Man to die alone. Meranno and the other Hydra forces are holding their own, but then the pursuing Talokanil turn up and the base is overrun.

Red Skull acidentally makes himself disappear with the tesseract at the climax of the battle. Steve takes control of the plane.

Peggy joins him on coms. Crash. Downer.

Red Skull has now been an impressive antagonist 3 times in a row for Cap, much better.

1st Post credits:-

We see an older Japanese American couple playing Go while others internees mill about and chat etc.

We see the guard outside wandering off.

We zoom out and see ALL the guards wandering off.

We see the residents start to realise something is going on. They look out the windows. The older couple look up momentarily but then continue their game.

We see Lady Lotus enter and say (in Japanese), "Nothing ever interrupts your Go game, does it…"

They finally look up and see who it is, their daughter.

"Hasu chan!"

They embrace. Everybody else crowds around. She smiles and says (in Japanese), "Let's go"

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

Super Secret Supplemental - SHIELD

S.H.I.E.L.D (or the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) was an international peacekeeping, law enforcement, and counter-terrorism agency sanctioned by the United Nations. They were led by a director who reports to the World Security Council and the agency was composed of members from various nations. SHIELD was founded to combat technologically advanced threats on world security (specifically the menace of Hydra); and they remained throughout the years on the front lines, fighting terrorism, supernatural threats and extraterrestrial menaces as an international intelligence agency.

Following the Secret Empire event, SHIELD was formerly dissolved. Some elements of the organization remain operational, overseeing ‘black site’ prisons and handling the transition of its duties to other intelligence agencies.

Many individuals have served as agents and operatives for SHIELD over the years. Some of the more notable agents include the following:

Colonel Nicholas Fury Sr. was one of the organization’s earliest recruits and he quickly matriculated to the role of director. The character is portrayed by actor Samuel L. Jackson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; Nick Fury’s first appearance was in the pages of Sgt. Fury #1 (1963).

Commander Timothy Dum Dum Duggan had been Fury’s colleague among the Howling Commandos during the Second World War. He joined SHIELD and would go on to be Fury’s right-hand man, rising to the rank of director for a time. Duggan additionally headed up SHIELD’s Godzilla division as well as its monster-oriented new Howling Commandos. Actor Neal McDonough portrayed the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Duggan first appeared in the pages of Sgt. Fury #1 (1963).

Agent Maria Hill became the director of SHIELD following Fury’s ouster and served in the position during the first Superhero Civil War. Hill stayed on as second in command during the time that Tony Stark acted as director. Her hawkish attitudes and supreme distrust toward super powered individuals ultimately led to her being dishonorably discharged from the organization. Maria Hill features in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portrayed by actress Cobie Smulders. The character first appeared in New Avengers Vol. 1 #4 (2005).

Natalia Romanova, also known as The Black Widow, joined SHIELD following her defection from the former Soviet Union. She has served on and off with the organization throughout her career as an Avenger and solo super hero. Actress Scarlet Johansson portrays the Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The heroine first appeared in the pages of Tales of Suspense #52 (1964).

Sharon Carter, Agent 13, is the niece of Peggy Carter who fought the Axis Forces alongside Captain America in the Second World War. Agent 13 would go on to have many abetters alongside Captain America and the two became lovers. She was believed killed in action but later returned and resumed both her position as an agent of SHIELD as well as her romance with Cap. Actress Emily VanCamp portrays Sharon Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Agent 13 first appeared in the pages of Tales of Suspense #75 (1965)

Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America, maintained a partnership with SHIELD throughout many of his adventures in the modern era. He was offered the directorship over the organization in the wake of the Dark Reign storyline. An evil doppelganger of Rogers would go on to take over SHIELD, using it to forward the agenda of Hydra. Although the doppelganger was ultimately defeated, the ordeal resulted in the official dissolution of the organization. Actor Chris Evans portrays Cap in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The hero first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (1941).

The Inhuman heroine, Daisy Johnson, was sought out by Nick Fury during a time in which he was conducting covert affairs for SHIELD. Fury placed Daisy in charge of an unsanctioned operation to topple a regime in Latveria. Having gained Fury’s trust, young Daisy was offered level 10 clearance at SHIELD, effectively making her Fury’s second in charge. Following Fury’s ouster, Daisy briefly served as the organizations director before Maria Hill’s political maneuvering forced her out. Actress Chloe Bennet portrays Daisy Johnson in the television series Marvel’s Agents of Shield. The young heroine first appeared in Secret War #2 (2004).

Agent Melinda May earned a reputation as one of SHIELD’s most effective field operatives. Her quick thinking and highly proficient combat skills helped her save the day on many occasions, earning her the nickname ‘The Calvary.’ May was chosen by section commander, Phil Coulson, to lead a team to take down a terrorist cell that had obtained the mystical Uru sword. Following the dissolution of SHIELD, May has gone on to become an agent for The FBI. Actress Ming-Na Wen portrayed Agent May in the television series Marvel’s Agents of Shield. The heroine first comic book appearance was in Agents of SHIELD Vol. 3 #1 (2014).

Agent Gabe Jones served as a member of the Howling Commandos during World War II. Following the war, Fury recruited Jones to become an agent of SHIELD. Jones became a top operative and was a crucial part to bringing down the nefarious organization known as The Secret Empire. He would later be a part of the SHIELD task force to contain the monster Godzilla. Jones featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe portrayed by actor Derek Luke. The hero first appeared in the pages of Sgt. Fury #1 (1963).

Having graduated top of his class at the SHIELD training program, Agent Jasper Sitwell earned a position as Director Fury’s chief assistant and secretary. In this role, Sitwell (then known as Agent 22) periodically stood in as temporary director during times in which Fury was on assignment or otherwise unavailable. Sitwell later acted as the official liaison between SHIELD and Stark Industries, which led to many adventures involving Iron Man and the hero’s many foes. A decidedly less heroic version of Jasper Sitwell featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portrayed by actor Maximiliano Hernández. The agent first appeared in the pages of Strange Tales #144 (1966).

Agent Victoria Hand had been an accountant at SHIELD who voiced significantly hawkish views on how the organization should be run. Her notions caught the attention of Norman Osborn who had been made director of SHIELD following the Secret Invasion event. Osborn promoted Hand as his chief lieutenant and she essentially acted as director in that Osborn was often preoccupied with his various diabolical schemes. Hand remained with the organization following Osborn’s ouster and the new director, Tony Stark, assigned her as the official liaison to the Avengers. She was later killed in action. Actress Saffron Burrows portrayed Hand in the television series Marvel’s Agents of Shield. The agent first appeared in the pages of Invincible Iron Man Vol. 2 #8 (2008).

The enigmatic Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine joined SHIELD because she was bored by her life of privilege and luxury. Her keen tactical mind and fierce combat skills helped her rise through the ranks and she soon became a top agent. She also became romantically involved with Nick Fury, ultimately leading her to be transferred to the European branch to avoid the appearance that Fury was showing favoritism. The Contessa would briefly act as director of SHIELD yet was secretly involved with a villainous cabal known as Leviathan. Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus portrays the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Contessa first appeared in the pages of Strange Tales #159 (1967).

Alphonso ‘Mac’ Mackenzie had acted as a liaison between SHIELD and the CIA before formerly becoming an agent of SHIELD. He quickly became a top agent, frequently working alongside fellow agents Jasper Sitwell and Jimmy Woo. Something of a luddite, Mac was highly distrustful of SHIELD’s increasing reliance on advanced technology. His suspicions in this regard proved crucial in preventing the organization from being taken over by The Deltite Corporation, thwarting the plan to replace all top agents with Life Model Decoy androids. A version of Mackenzie featured in the television series Marvel’s Agents of Shield, portrayed by actor Henry Simmons. The agent first appeared in the pages of Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. #3 (1988)

Agent Sidney Levine, often known as The Gaffer, had been a fighter pilot during World War II. Following the war he became involved in creating special effects for Hollywood. He ingenuity for gadgetry resulted in his being recruited into SHIELD. Working in conjunction with technicians from Stark Industries, The Gaffer was responsible for many of the organizations most ingenious weapons and devices. The agent first appeared in Strange Tales #159 (1967).

Phillip Coulson served as an Army Ranger stationed in Afghanistan. During his service he became close friends with fellow Ranger, Marcus Johnson. After Johnson learned he was the son of Nick Fury he ended up recruited into SHIELD and Coulson signed up alongside him. Coulson would go on to become a top operative and oversaw his own squad of agents. Coulson was later apparently killed by Deadpool in the opening salvos of The Secret Empire Event. Yet it turned out that Coulson was resurrected by the villainous of Mephisto who then used Coulson as a pawn in the creation of the government-sanctioned super-team, the Squadron Supreme of America. Actor Clarke Gregg portrayed Coulson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His first comic book appearance was in the pages of Battle Scars #1 (2011).

Marcus Johnson, born Nicholas Fury Jr., grew up unaware that he was the son of Nick Fury and that he had inherited the ‘infinity formula’ from his father. This led him to being targeted by the villainous Orion who sought to extract the formula from him so to save his own life. He was saved and ended up following in father’s footsteps, joining SHIELD. Nick Fury Jr first appeared in Battle Scars #1 (2011).

Agent Jimmy Woo worked for the FBI leading a task force hunting down the international crime lord known as The Golden Claw. He was later recruited into SHIELD and aided the organization in finally taking the Claw down. He remained with SHIELD participating in many missions and acting as part of SHIELD’s Godzilla Unit. Years later, The Golden Claw resurfaced and Woo would go on to take over the Claw’s organization, reforming it into the Atlas Foundation and a force for good. Actor Randell Park portrays Jimmy Woo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The agent’s first comic book appearance was in the pages of Yellow Claw #1 (1956).

A former captain in the United States Air Force, Clay Quartermain was recruited into the ranks of SHIELD during its battle against the forces of The Golden Claw. He continued on with the organization and embarked on numerous missions. His garrulousness and boastful nature rubbed some of his fellow agents the wrong way, but he proved himself highly capable and was put in charge of SHIELD’s Hulk-Busters unit. He was later apparently killed while investigating the mystery of the Red Hulk. Clay Quartermain first appeared in the pages of Strange Tales #163 (1967).

Agent Barbara ‘Bobbi’ Morse, also known as Agent 19, served as a field agent and scientist for SHIELD, sharing numerous adventures alongside Ka-Zar of the Savage Land. Fearing that her work with SHIELD could endanger her family, Morse faked her death and began operating as the costumed hero Mockingbird. Not long thereafter, she became a frequent ally of Hawkeye. The two fell in love and eventually married and together they formed the West Coast branch of The Avengers. Actress Adrianne Palicki portrayed Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird in the television series Marvel’s Agents of Shield; whereas actress Linda Cardellini has played Hawkeye’s wife and former SHIELD Agent 19 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The heroine first appeared in the pages of Astonishing Tales Vol. 1 #6 (1971).

Junior agent Roz Solomon served as a member of SHIELD in the organization’s environmental sciences division. A staunch environmentalist, Solomon investigated an illegal oceanic drilling practice conducted by the Roxxan Oil Corporation and ended up sharing an adventure with the Mighty Thor. Following the dissuasion of SHIELD, Solomon accepted an offer by King T’Challa to become a part of his Agents of Wakanda program. The intrepid young agent first appeared in the pages of Thor: God of Thunder #12 (2013).

Commodore Lance Hunter was born in Kent, England and served in the Royal Navy before becoming a top operative for MI-6. He was later put in charge of the organization, S.T.R.I.K.E. (or the Special Tactical Reserve for International Key Emergencies) which acted as a sister agency to SHIELD in the United Kingdom. Hunter would go on to have numerous adventures alongside Nick Fury, Captain Britain and Captain America. During his missions in conjunction with SHIELD, Hunter sparked up a romance with SHIELD agent, Bobbi Morse. The pair briefly rekindled their romance following Bobbi’s divorce from Clint Barton. Actor Nick Blood portrayed a version of Lance Hunter in the television series, Marvel’s Agents of Shield. The hero first appeared in the pages of Captain Britain #19 (1977).

Agent Monica Chang was the chief of SHIELD's Artificial Intelligence division. She was tasked with the interrogation of Hank Pym after the virus with which he destroyed Ultron evolved into the A.I. known as Dimitrios, and started mounting cyberattacks against secure military and intelligence targets.

Essential Avengers: Avengers #287: INVASION!

January, 1988

A New Year! We’re getting closer to the 90s! A time where bad art roams the book, Black Knight’s romantic life becomes the big central axis of the plot, and leather team jackets!

This is all what I’ve heard about the 90s. Looking forward to seeing it myself. I’ve been surprised before!

But I’m getting two years ahead of myself and there’s an ongoing story here that bridged ‘87 to ‘88.

As you may guess from this wild cover, its about the Fixer.

Last time on Avengers: the Masters of Evil tried to destroy the Avengers and failed but did beat Hercules into a coma and wreck Avengers Mansion. Hercules is fine. He got kidnapped back home and his dad got super mad at the Avengers but we’re past that now. The Mansion being destroyed has caused the Avengers to move to Hydrobase, an artificial island that they were renting to park their Quinjets on.

Wasp stepped down from chairwomanship of the team and since the people with seniority like Captain America and Thor were too busy and since the ambitious like Dr Druid were too new, Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel was the obvious choice.

Dr Druid may be trying to undermine her though. He was certainly being a creep last issue. Spying on people, going over her head. That kind of thing.

Also last issue, the Fixer escaped custody thanks to a failsafe in his equipment that went off and controlled a random scientist named Todd Martin to bust him out of jail.

Fixer has some Big Plan to Fix Things and tried to collect the Awesome Android for his plan but drove away empty handed when the Avengers showed up. But Namor’s wife and former Alpha Flightateer Marrina tried to show she Wasn’t Just A Love Interest and went off and got herself captured by the Fixer.

Namor doesn’t know that yet.

He’s just doing a frighteningly intense close-up because she ran off and didn’t come back.

He stops a couple of random children cyclists and ask if they’ve seen any yellow women around. TO THEIR UTTER CONFUSION.

After Namor flies off, one of the children decides that they must be filming an episode of Star Trek around here.

To be fair... to be fair to be fair to be faiiiiir ... to be fair, Namor does look like Buff Spock.

Though... After the cliffhanger of last issue where Fixer captured Marrina, he just shoves her unconscious out the back of his truck and drives away.

Its a pretty benign way to deal with a capture superhero. Depending on whether Fixer knew another truck would be coming up the road after not too long.

A truck does come up the road after not too long, right where Marrina is sprawled woozily.

Good thing she has sea strengthened limbs!

Namor is drawn by the sound of a truck crumpling over Marrina and she tries to explain what happened to her. Namor decides that the nonplussed truck driver is actually the Fixer in disguise and prepares to punch him but Marrina stops him. In fact, she tells Namor the truck driver may have saved her by slamming the brake when he saw her in the road.

To his credit, Namor does apologize for doing the man a startle.

Elsewhere, the Fixer completes his journey in his truck to a certain warehouse in a certain suburban industrial park, expecting to meet a certain someone.

Back at the Avengers, the Avengers clean up from the Awesome Android fight and explain to the cops why a barn exploded in their presence.

Captain Marvel explains that the Avengers will pay for the damages and I have to imagine someone Tony flinches and doesn’t know why. I wonder if it feels weird to him to be on one team and paying for another.

The cops are bemused.

A cop, looking stereotypically small town coppish, with the jacket and the sunglasses and the hat and jodhpurs for some reason: “Ma’am, we’re just not used to filing reports about super hero fights with giant androids. It’s going to read like a drive-in movie script.”

Also fun fact: the Awesome Android is part organic. Black Knight takes some science scans of the downed automaton.

After Captain Marvel finishes speaking to the cops, Dr Druid drags her off to the side and asks if maybeeeeee she should be sitting down. I mean, she did just get gassed half an hour ago.

Captain Marvel firmly tells him that she’s fine.

But c’mon dude. Make up your mind. You drag her to her feet, loudly insisting it’ll be bad for morale if she’s laying on the ground in front of the team and now you’re telling her to sit down because she shouldn’t be standing.

Are you even a medical doctor?

To prove to Dr Druid that she’s perfectly fine, Monica transforms into energy but its clear that the effort makes her woozy.

Dr Druid is like well if you ask me you sit down but whatever I’m going to go see how the Android is doing.

And speak of the devil and an Awesome Android will reactivate.

The Android stirs back to life and takes a grab for Black Knight who flips out of the way. IN ARMOR. God damn, dude.

One of the cops tries shooting him, to no effect.

And then She-Hulk BOOMPs the Awesome Android in the armpit again and down he goes again.

So. Do you think BOOMP is a loud noise or a soft noise? I think its supposed to be a thunderous noise, like a BOOOOOM with a puh at the end. But she’s basically punching his armpit-based off switch so it could be more of a button pressing chirp like BOOP! with an m in it.

Let me know what you think.

Anyway, the media shows up to interview the Avengers. And they’re pretty excited! Local news never gets to interview the Avengers!

Unfortunately, they’re also very annoying.

The mistake he made there was being annoying at She-Hulk, the one Avenger present least required to be polite.

The press then doubles down by annoying Namor when he shows up with Marrina by asking him if he’s really the ruler of the mythical land of Atlantis.

Namor: “Mythical? No more mythical than the fabled arrogance and ignorance of newmen.”

Reporter: “But that doesn’t answer --.”

Namor: “Indeed, it does.”

Hah.

Sometimes when Namor is in the right mood, instead of just yelling and threatening to hit things, he gets extremely wry and its great.

The weird note from Namor (and Marrina) appearing on the news due to this though is that Dan Smallwood sees the interview and is shocked because that’s his childhood sweetheart! Marrina, I mean. Not Namor. Namor is nobody’s childhood sweetheart. Althoooough, I think he did grow up with Attuma and Dorma? Whatever. No love lost now.

Back at the Fixer side of the plot, in the Fixer’s secret hideout, he finds the guy he was expecting to find. His old pal Mentallo, who he asked to meet him.

Mentallo assumes that the Fixer is here to propose a partnership between them like old times.

Mentallo: “With your power to fix anything -- cobble any object into a weapon... and my invincible ability to read minds and project thoughts, how could anyone stand against us?”

He’s even undaunted by the Fixer wearing a psychic proof helmet despite their long friendship and the time they almost took down SHIELD together.

Mentallo is a little put out when Fixer tentacles him and prepares to torture him though.

That’s a bit of an unwelcome surprise to him.

... I don’t mean to kick a man while he’s being tentacled but having Fixer and Mentallo side by side makes me realize how boring their outfits are. Its fine when its one or the other but both of them... geez, someone get a chest emblem or something.

Back with the Avengers, they’ve finally gotten Awesome Android to a local airfield in preparation for getting him to Hydrobase, with the help of the National Guard.

Not what the National Guard usually deals with so I imagine it was an exciting day for them.

Namor proposes that they immediately get back to searching for the Fixer for being a heinous dude who shoves underwater women out the back of trucks.

Captain Marvel says yeah sounds great except they need to make sure the Awesome Android is securely secured before they go flying off somewhere. He could do a lot of damage if he woke up again and She-Hulk wasn’t here to punch him in the armpit.

She-Hulk concurs because Monica is the leader and also, pffft, its just the Fixer. Who gives a care?

Black Knight is more concerned that they don’t know what the dude is up to. Concerns validated when Dr Druid receives a psychic scream-o-gram from Mentallo who is being tortured by the Fixer.

Dr Druid broadcasts it to the rest of the team. Which is extremely funny because he seems pained by receiving the message but Monica is just like ‘huh, how about that.’

Whatever else you can say about Dr Druid, props for only broadcasting the helpful part of the message?

Namor repeats his proposal that they go find and beat up the Fixer, which Captain Marvel agrees to.

She tells the team to get back in the Quinjet except Marrina. Because someone needs to finish delivering the Awesome Android to Hydrobase and heyyyy you drew the short straw of not technically being officially on the team, Marrina!

Namor doesn’t say anything but I imagine he’s secretly relived Marrina will be out of the action. Given their conversations last issue. And how she ran off to prove herself and immediately got captured.

Anyway. The Avengers in their Quinjet head towards the location they got from Mentallo’s distress scream.

Not being an experienced superhero, Dr Druid finds it strange that an innocuous warehouse is a secret villain lair but She-Hulk tells him that’s pretty routine for supervillains.

Then an anti-air gun pops out of the warehouse and shoots down the Quinjet.

Oof, ow, Tony’s gonna be feeling that one in the budget sheet.

The Avengers tear themselves free of the wreckage, not much worse for the wear. Superheroes!

The secret supervillain warehouse lair fires missiles at the heroes but that just gives the Avengers an opportunity for them all to show off a little.

Namor catches the missiles and throws them right back at the warehouse.

Black Knight spins his sword to deflect the missiles because he saw Thor do it with his hammer and he wanted to give it a try.

She-Hulk just hops over the missiles and Captain Marvel blasts a missile heading towards her, despite still recovering.

Namor declares “enough games” and charges in through the hole he missiled. Electric cables tentacle at Namor and electrocute him but he grabs those cables and uses them to shock the machine that they came from.

She-Hulk: “Subby -- you okay? Looked like --”

Namor: “I will survive, She-Hulk. Namor ever has.”

That’s pretty cool, Namor.

In a recent comic, someone tries to electrocute him and tells them it was dumb to expect much from that tactic when he plays with electric eels for fun.

So, there’s an answer. Namor electrocutes himself recreationally.

There’s an additional layer of trap/security beyond the anti-air, missiles, and electric cables though.

A powerful fan starts up and sucks the Avengers into two separate pneumatic tubes.

She-Hulk and Black Knight end up in one. Dr Druid is also there, for some reason, and She-Hulk catches him so he doesn’t go into the fan. But that doesn’t leave her a hand for Dane and he goes hurtling at the turbine blades.

But he gets an idea.

An exceptionally cursed sword idea.

That must have made a sound like rocks in a garbage disposal but times a thousand.

Geez, that extremely cursed sword really fucked up that fan.

Namor and Captain Marvel ended up stuck in the other pneumatic tube, without a single extremely cursed sword to bail them out...

Even though Captain Marvel doesn’t feel like she can change into her energy form, she tells Namor to let her go so he can save himself.

He tells her nuts to that and rips a hole in the side of the pneumatic tube and carries them both to safety.

The safety of a dark corridor but, y’know, still better than where they were.

Captain Marvel: “I’m the leader of the Avengers, and it’s time I began acting in that capacity! This is where my power may aid us.”

And she summons all her reserves to turn into an energy Monica, to light up the corridor AND keep pace with Namor.

Namor: Such a very brave young woman -- not yet up to the task she undertakes... but unwilling to use weakness as an excuse. In truth, she possesses the qualities of leadership, though she has doubt.

She’s not able to maintain her energy form for long but right as she falters, She-Hulk BA-WHOOMs through the wall, reuniting the two halves of the team.

Captain Monica tells Dr Druid enough blundering around. Point them directly to where Mentallo is.

Dr Druid points and Captain Marvel has She-Hulk and Namor just tear a straight line to Mentallo.

Yay, teamwork.

Mentallo is still stuck to the wall so the Avengers help him down. Unfortunately, he’s not much help for finding Fixer.

In fact, he’s a bit out of it.

Mentallo: “Don’t know... can only tell you... he forced me to send... the mental summons. Forced -- me... You can’t -- can’t know what his mind is like! It was not the Fixer -- I -- I knew! The cerebral feedback -- unimaginable! His mind -- huge -- alien! ALIEN!”

And then he passes the fuck out.

Okay. That’s a “the plot thickens” if I’ve ever heard one.

Several hours later and also the next page, the Avengers happen to unravel part of the mystery at Hydrobase.

Since the team got back, Captain Marvel has been standing by and letting Dr Druid run the show.

Mmmmmnope. I don’t like it. Don’t like it at all.

But that’s the situation.

Dr Druid is arranging the Awesome Android to be placed in a containment tube, so She-Hulk won’t have to keep bopping him in the armpit.

But he realizes that the containment tube has been recently tampered with! Dun dun dun?

Team Scientist Black Knight goes to check it out and fiiiinds...

The Fixer??

Oh, hey, mission accomplished. Bad guy caught. Lets break early for drinks.

One thing though... How did he get in the tube?

Because that’s really the real Fixer, as far as Dr Druid can tell after examination. But he’s been heavily sedated.

So he probably didn’t do a lot of drugs and stuff himself into a capsule to troll the Avengers, right?

Well, Captain Marvel has some insight about that.

Since she’s consistently the one who does her homework, she knows that tube is supposed to contain... THE SUPER-ADAPTOID!

A ridiculous AIM android that adapts to the abilities of adversaries.

It was originally sent to super-adapt Captain America but also fought the Avengers, looking like a truly ridiculous mash-up.

(There’s something charming about the first iteration of the Adaptoid just being palette swap Captain America Player 2. And I called it ridiculous but yes, the ridiculous mash-up is also charming for being a mess.)

Despite being able to copy eight people at a time, the Super-Adaptoid has been thwarted multiple times at the world domination game.

After its most recent defeat, the Super-Adaptoid was brought to Avengers Mansion to be held in a containment tube. But supervillains always break out of jail, even containment tube Avengers Mansion jail.

Somehow, (totally the Fixer’s fault) the Super-Adaptoid escaped when the Masters of Evil were busting up Avengers Mansion. It super-adapted the Fixer and then shoved the Fixer in the containment tube to cover its escape. Because the Avengers didn’t check the containment tube contents before transport.

Sort of a fail there, guys. But things were hectic after the Masters of Evil attack so you get a pass, this time.

But, hey, I’m impressed that the wrecking of the mansion is still paying out consequences! Really makes it feel momentous in the team history!

Captain Marvel warns the team that if the Super-Adaptoid is super-adapting this group of Avengers, they might be in some real trouble.

I mean, sheesh, Captain Marvel, Namor, She-Hulk, and also Dr Druid is there for some reason. Thankfully, Black Knight has no powers except owning an extremely cursed sword and I don’t thiiiiink the Super-Adaptoid can super-adapt magic.

But the Super-Adaptoid the Fixer has made his way to Queens to make a recruitment pitch to Machine Man.

If X-51 helps “the Fixer” with his schemeplan, he’ll bring Jocasta back to life.

No, don’t do it, Aaron! Be a good machine man!

On the other hand, Jocasta is neat... Uh, maybe go for it?

Follow @essential-avengers because we like Jocasta here. She’s rad. Like and reblog, if you liked this post and think others would like it.

Welcome to Earth-6677!

Do you want Agent Carter Season 3, or something close to it? Do you want that story to be a fanfic with various connecting fics taking inspiration from other Golden Age Marvel Heroes? Do you want stories that take place within the MCU, but are also a set-up for a soft reboot of the parts the authors don't like? You want gay shit? Then this project might just be for you.

Earth-6677 is a fanfiction project begun by @crash476, with assistance from @sparkyyoungupstart. Beginning as an idea of what happened to Peggy Carter's brother Michael, we have expanded it into a shared universe that slowly unveils a new history of the world that ties in both Marvel Comics, the MCU, and actual historical events.

Currently our focus is on the events of WWII and the post-war period of Agent Carter. Our main cast members are Michael Carter and an OC, Emily Gower, though we've combined them with elements of the comics characters Brian Falsworth (Union Jack) and Jacqueline Falsworth (Spitfire). So far a majority of our tales have focused on The Invaders, a team that in the comics punched Axis forces and starred Captain America, Namor, and the original Human Torch. They're not in our cast, but we hope the characters we did put in keep the same flavour.

We have hopes and plans to let the repercussions of our characters (and our own disappointments with several modern projects) echo throughout the timeline and into modern day - accompanied of course with more stories as long as we can find the time for them. For now, though, here's a rundown on what fics we have so far.

The Invaders series, focusing on the Golden Age (and in publishing order):

Death in the Golden Hour, a combination prologue and Flash Forward one-shot taking place immediately after the attack on Jack Thompson in the final moments of Agent Carter.

Sixes and Sevens, the story of Michael Carter's death being covered up during World War II. The Special Operations Executive see a golden opportunity, Carter is given a new identity - Brian Falsworth - and he's sent to join Operation Meridian, the British equivalent of Project Rebirth. When Dr. Erskine is assassinated in America, Major "Falsworth" is sent on a mission through the Middle East to track down an old colleague of Dr. Erskine's in the hopes that Britain can get their own super soldier. Joined by Emily Gower, the two must evade Nazis, HYDRA agents, and local governments in order to secure an advantage for the Allied forces.

Upon the Chaos Dark, a one-shot showing Roger Aubrey being captured and experimented on by Daniel Whitehall.

Shadow of the Eagle, where Carter's team embarks on a mission to destroy a U-Boat station in Greece, only to encounter several figures from his past.

Radio Chatter, a collection for various one-shots.

The Haunting of Villa Layla, where the members of the Fidonisi party regroup with their friends and share stories from their pasts.

Agent Carter: Phantom Pain, the point at which the story catches up to the prologue. Peggy and company must deal with Thompson's death, Dottie's return, the looming shutdown of the SSR, and Michael's return.

There is a House in the Mountains, where a contingent of Invaders are sent to rescue a spy on the inside of HYDRA.

Headfirst Slide into Latveria on a Bad Bet, where the other half of the Invaders go to Latveria to help a young Victor von Doom liberate his country.

We also have a TV Tropes page here; we've been updating it ourselves but our hope is that it can become self-sustaining if the series gets popular enough. After all, the more people who engage with our work the better our motivation to write more of it! So please, read and enjoy!

Liberty Belle has had a number of incarnations, but her first, and probably best, was as a World War Two super strong heroine who both helped US forces in their war against the Axis, but also battled fascist saboteurs at home. In her combination of martial valour, patriotism and status as an “All American Girl”, she anticipated Captain America. Her alter ego was war correspondent, Libby Lawrence, whose journalistic exploits often complemented Liberty’s super feats. Liberty Belle’s powers were apparently triggered by the sounding of the Liberty Bell itself in Philadelphia, a phenomenon never satisfactorily explained.

She featured during the war years principally in Star Spangled Comics, although she debuted in Boy Commando Comics.

Saoirse, Steven, and Sorcha Rogers are born within hours of one another on 20 December 1917. Saoirse is the ‘strong’, healthy triplet, and her siblings are progressively less so. Steve and Sorcha have the heart murmur, and more allergies than they have letters in their names. All three are hard of hearing, and utilize American sign language more often than not.

Bucky tempers them, sort of. Mostly he gets dragged into too many fights to even count by the time they’re all eighteen. Bucky enlists, Saoirse joins the O.S.S and Sorcha enters into the Army Nurse Corps the week after Pearl Harbor. It takes Steve six months to follow them, doing so in the program known as Project Rebirth.

Sorcha and Steve are popped into the Super Soldier microwave with twelve hours between them. They were meant to be the control experiments, proving the project would work on anyone without delusions of grandeur or diabolical leanings. They, instead, end up the only Super Soldiers Abraham Erskine creates.

The timeline is largely the same. Saoirse is pulled out of her posting in Germany when the Howling Commandos form and the younger triplets learn where she is. The Commander and Agent Rogers form a secondary team, taking on the axis agents without a seeming rhyme or reason to their missions. Captain America and the Commandos hunt down Hydra, keeping everyone scrambling until Arnim Zola pops up on a train through the alps.

Saoirse and James are lost. A week later, Steve is the last living Rogers, Sorcha listed as KIA after the Valkyrie goes down. Steve spends years as Captain America until the Korean War, where he retires. When Vietnam rolls around, he protests. He tries to use his ‘legacy’ to the benefit of the public. It doesn’t work so well.

Sorcha is revived in 2012 and Steve comes running. The Red Widow surfaces in 2014 only to disappear again midway through 2015 and the Winter Soldier in 2017 with the Widow - and both Rogers damn near burn down the world to get their best friend and sister back.

I guess CB fans already talk abt this a lot— or do they? tbh i dont rlly see much Cap comic talk from CB fans.. but tbh that's prob for the best b/c they are...... so bad, esp w/ this topic. they only had one decent story that had potential w/ WS in the aughts + the shieldra plot before going into their American BS —but nyways mayve its a good thing no one talks abt them bc Captain America comics were already not very good with the hydra-nazi thing but omg why am I finding out that the latest run dilutes/copsout the hydra origins even more....

It's rlly pmo b/c the hydra thing hasn't been treated well/properly ever but they retconned Hydra to be the original "big bad" and just a front for a group that precedes the nazis by decades 🙃🙃 and the amount of dogwhistles and poorly thought out historical references in the names/setup... ihate it!

Things like this r y this is the few times where i say the mcu version is better— up until like civil war or definitely afterwards —b/c at least they— until later on with Z3m0 —kept in mind that the villains are nazis 🙃 The amount of Cold War politics the Cap franchise— and tbh in the Black Widow side too once they started to retcon them together —throws in to make hydra some generic "anti USA" villain and sidestep the whole "hydra being nazis + part of the US government and keeping a major character as an enslaved WW2 POW as a major foundation of Cap mythos" thing. Now they obscure the origins of the hydra stuff even more and its so...... i guess theyre trying to make the whole Captain America schtick seem less bad if the nazi villains the story keeps downplaying/ignoring the impact of just keep getting made to be "less bad" over and over, but I hate it. And i hate even more how these types of stories littered all over the Cap mythos are seen as "not political" by a certain crowd, but theyre very political.it's just that the politics are so trash and distort serious historical references in service to American jingoist conception of history.

i have no idea how you ended up here. nonetheless iagree because captain america runs are just... so.. so... [vaguely gestures] and i hate the crowd surrounding it! i really like characters from the cap universe (sam/bucky/misty/nat) but it's literally impossible to read because it's so. so. so .. WEIRD! i think you're right bc back in the actual cap bucky run these topics were somewhat better handled? than the way they are now? and i don't want to blame everything on nick spencer's 2015 hydra cap thing but i will blame it all on it because oh my god the disservice that did to the way hydra is treated in these comics lmao. like you said they keep being like 'weeelll the nazis are *nooot so bad*'. like the red skull treatment they give the comics are so?? what?? hes a nazi?? why are you trying to get me to sympathize with the nazi?? I GET SUPER WEIRDED OUT WHENEVER I TRY TO READ AXIS FOR EVENT REASONS BC OF.. THE RED SKULL BEING WRITTEN SO SYMPATHETICALLY.. IM LIKE EWW I DONT LIKE THAT GET IT AWAY FROM MEEE. likewise i did try to read the other 2015 cap america run with sam but it also suffers of this same exact problem and it's SOOOOO HARD.

i read sentinel of liberty and symbol of truth recently and i swear to god i did not pay any attention other than the scenes were bucky was in AND EVEN THAT I HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH I THOUGHT SOME OF IT WAS A LITTLE WEIRD but. (SIGHS) . i also agree the mcu was.. fairly fine with this til fatws and everyone became a zemo loverweiogoudsigSDG IM GLAD I WASNT THE ONLY ONE WEIRDED OUT BY THAT?!?! dont even get me started on the subsection of mcu fans that make found family out of hydra members its very fucking weird. anyway. i think you might have gotten the wrong blog but nonetheless ive had these thoughts in my head for a few years now so thank u for this little bonding moment

#asks #im gonna start saying american jingoist so much #i just learned that word. jingoism.

80 Years Ago: Captain America Comes Out Swinging

The most amazing thing to me about the debut of Captain America in Timely Comics in March 1941 is that he appeared ten months before Pearl Harbor. Joe Kirby and Joe Simon had the foresight and the strength of character to envision him prior to our war with the Axis, yet he is a red-white-and-blue patriotic super soldier whose premiere heroic move is a right cross to Hitler’s ugly cake hole.…

It's All Connected

The motivation behind It's All Connected lies in Avengers: Endgame.

I was so annoyed with the way events on Vormir turned out I started to rethink the scene. Then I started to rethink other scenes. Then I started to think about how they originally said the whole MCU would be connected, even the TV shows. And then about how that proved to be untrue. But what if...it was all connected? All of it...what changes would you need to make?

It became too much to hold in my head so I decided to type it out. Then I started thinking about missed opportunities like integrating the earlier X-Men movies and having Cap team up with the Invaders. Now I have (somewhat) refined all my ramblings and present them to you. The MCU IAC (rolls easily off the tongue, no?).

Some general notes:

Probably for MCU geeks only.

This is total fantasy, so there is no limit on time, budget or casting. CGI will always look great (monsters, deaging etc).

I genuinely enjoyed all the movies, even the ones people generally don't like. So most of the things that I've changed are for connectedness, missed opportunities or fairly minor gripes. For the most part.

Where I have consciously taken inspiration from outside the MCU I have tried to label or link to that.

Happy to add links to anything I might have missed. Suggestions welcome for blank spaces in casting, continuity errors etc.

And obviously...MASSIVE SPOILERS...right the way through.

I hope you enjoy.

Captain america superhero creator 2.0

Initially, Batroc appears to be a terrorist looking for nothing more than a decent payday. Making his MCU debut, Batroc is the main target in Captain America: The Winter Soldier's introductory action sequence on SHIELD's Lemurian Star ship. Played by Georges St-Pierre, Batroc is a highly-trained former French military sergeant turned top-tier mercenary. What are your thoughts on the new Marvel's Captain America: The First 80 Years book? Will you be pre-ordering, or picking up a copy on July 13th? You can pre-order now from Amazon.Related: Falcon & Winter Soldier Cast Guide: Every Marvel Character In a truly unforgettable modern run, Cap’s old sidekick returns-with a disturbing new identity. Or nearly-because Bucky’s story was not quite over. His regret over Bucky’s death will accompany him for the rest of his life. No other man could ever survive for twenty years in the ice. His body, bolstered by the Super Soldier Serum, maintains all vital functions in a state of suspended animation while he is frozen. Wracked with remorse for not having been able to save him, and only urging him in vain to jump, Steve nearly lets himself drown.īut he doesn’t die. Steve loses his grip and winds up plummeting into the icy waters of the North Sea, but not before seeing Bucky killed in the explosion. His plan is to blow up our two heroes while in flight. Steve and Bucky jump off a speeding motorcycle and grab on to the aircraft. In action in Europe against the Axis, the heroes fight to keep one of their planes, loaded with explosives, from taking off. The fateful day arrives as the war is drawing to a close. One day he is found out by a young recruit, private James Buchanan Barnes, better known as Bucky, who becomes his sidekick until the end. In uniform, Steve plays the role of the clumsy, awkward soldier in order to ward off any possible suspicion as to his secret identity. When donning his mask, he becomes Hitler’s invincible enemy number one. He now lives the double life of a Super Hero. Rogers enlists in the army as a cover for his missions. Unfortunately, he’ll be the sole Super Soldier fighting for the United States as the doctor only left a few notes behind. Erskine and the amazing transformation of Steve Rogers, who drinks the serum and seconds later turns into a man with muscles of steel. The story treats readers to the murder of Dr. Erskine (as Reinstein would now be called) on a young man so weak and frail that he’s almost an embarrassment, despite being chosen for his bravery, intelligence and determination. A desperate decision is made: to test the Super Serum created by Dr. This story suddenly plunges readers back into the 1940s. It all becomes one big dance it becomes a ballet, acted out on the paper.” In other words, if Captain America hits a man and he falls to the floor, and some guy is coming up behind Cap, he’ll already know what he’s going to do with this guy. I’ll choreograph the thing out like a ballet. The “King of Comics” himself, proud of the artwork’s extraordinary kinetic effect, would one day say, “I’ll have a sort of choreographed action. Lee and Kirby, along with inker Frank Giacoia (who went under the name of Frankie Ray because he didn’t want the other publishers he worked for to know he was doing work for Marvel), worked to develop the original story by Simon and Kirby. The Origin of Captain America is an epic 12-page adventure. The Avengers #4 contains a brief account of what happened, which a year later would be expanded in Tales of Suspense #63 (cover date March 1965), the comic book that features new stories starring the Sentinel of Liberty. How could this be, though? What had happened to him after the war? Didn’t he go around beating up common criminals, and then the Communists? And just how was he supposed to have survived in the ice all that time? Captain America may have had a little help from readers who expressed their delight in the return of a classic character, and it wouldn’t be long before the real Cap-the guy who smashed Hitler in the face-burst onto the scene again. It all could have finished there, but it didn’t. A story in which the modern Human Torch-Johnny Storm, a member of the Fantastic Four-meets a man who claims to be Captain America from the 1940s and ’50s. Lee and Kirby used him a few months earlier in Strange Tales #114 (cover date November 1963), for The Human Torch Meets…Captain America. Marvel's Captain America: The First 80 Years EXCLUSIVE ExcerptĬap was not Timely’s first Super Hero, since the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner got their start in Marvel Comics #1, but he certainly remained the most famous.

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

November 9th - Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner

Namor McKenzie is the king and ruler of the undersea kingdom of Atlantis. He was born as a Mutant-hybrid son of a human father (an explorer named Leonard McKenzie) and an Atlantean mother (The Princess Fenn). He was named Namor which in the language of Atlantis means ‘avenging son.’

As a product of his mixed heritage and possessing the X-gene, Namor has been bestowed tremendous powers This includes greatly enhanced strength, speed and durability, a significantly extended lifespan and the capacity to fly and swim at a tremendous speed. Despite his differences and his having a human father, Namor’s power and his being the grandson of Emperor Thakorr led to his being named heir to the throne of Atlantis.

As the human would further encroached onto the seven seas, Namor ventured out to interact with the world of man. His initial forays were aggressive as he arrived in New York City and declared the oceans off limits to mankind under the punishment of war. It was herein that Namor was first referred to as ‘The Sub-Mariner.’ Namor’s decree led to numerous altercations between Thw Sub-Mariner and the surface world hero, Human Torch (Jim Hammond).

The intrepid police woman, Betty Dean, was able to broker a truce between the two combatants. Namor was taken by Dean’s bravery and honor; so much so that it changed his mind about humans. Not long thereafter, the outbreak of the Second World War saw Namor and The Human Torch becoming allies so to battle the evil of the Axis Forces. The two were later partnered with Captain America and Bucky in forming the Allied super team, The Invaders.

Some time after the war, a villain named Paul Destine used the powerful Serpents’ Crown to instill in Namor a pervasive amnesia that made him forget who he was and where he came from. Many years later, Namor was discovered in a Manhattan flophouse by Johnny Storm of the recently established Fantastic Four. Johnny was able to recognize Namor as the Sub-Mariner. Hoping to break Namor out of his stupor, Johnny dumped him into the Hudson River. This had the effect of freeing Namor from his amnesia and much of his memory returned.

Namor made his way to an Atlantean outpost under the sea, only to discover that it had been destroyed by the US Military’s testing of nuclear weapons. Namor vowed vengeance on the surface world and attacked it, using the giant sea monster Giganto. The Fantastic Four were able to stop the Sub-Mariner. During the fight, he became instantly enamored of Sue Storm, and offered to make her his bride and queen of Atlantis. Namor carried the romantic crush with him for years and she even reciprocated the feelings for a while, which first became apparent when Namor teamed up with Doctor Doom to destroy the Fantastic Four.

Following further clashes with the super heroes of the surface world, Namor returned to Atlantis and was named king. He continued to battle with the surface world as well as fighting off undersea threats to the city like the rebel leader Attuma. Namor married the Atlantian dignitary, Lady Dorma whom he had fallen in love with. Sadly, Dorma was kidnapped and later killed by the villainess Llyra.

Although Namor often fought with the surface world there were also many times where he allied himself with human heroes against superordinate threats. He was a founding member of The Defenders, a frequent alley of The Fantastic Four and also briefly acted as a member of The Avengers. During this time, Namor purchased a corporation called Oracle Incorporated that worked toward producing clean energy whist promoting an environmentalist agenda.

Following the M-Day decimation, Namor loaned his support to his fellow Mutants among the X-Men, ultimately joining their ranks for a time. During his tenure with the X-Men, Namor became possessed by The Phoenix Force resulting in his waging war on Wakanda and sacking the Golden City.

Amidst all this, Namor also became a part of a secret cabal of luminaries known as The Illuminati who would periodically gather to address partially dire threats to the earth. He left the group in objection to their decision to exile The Incredible Hulk into outer space.

Prior to the Secret Wars event, Atlantis was destroyed by the forces of Wakanda in retribution for Namor’s attack on Wakanda whist possessed by the Phoenix Force. An embittered Namor joined the Black Order as part of a more aggressive effort to battle off the cascading incursions of alternate universes that ultimately resulted in the destruction and recreation of reality entailed in The Secret Wars event.

Namor was killed by the Squadron Supreme in the aftermath of Secret Wars, yet was quickly resurrected and all of Atlantis was recreated as well. Namor was once more seated as emperor and has dedicated himself to safeguarding his people and his realm by any means necessary.

Actor Tenoch Huerta portrays Namor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, debuting in the movie, Wakanda Forever. Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner first appeared in the pages of Motion Picture Funnies Weekly #1 (1939).

Reality, Justice, Along with the Get started From the Superhero Comic Guideline

The Most Effective Marvel Characters In The Publisher's Historical Past™Despite his many errors as a man, Reed is at coronary heart an excellent man. He loves his family and associates, despite an inclination to all the time put work first. He’s additionally saved the world from Galactus and Doctor Doom a bunch of occasions. While he's presently retired, and at last spending time along with his wife and youngsters, Reed deserves to come again to the limelight at some point. Considering their impact on the genre, cultural relevance, their originality, enduring reputation, and dozens of other elements, we humbly submit our listing of the 25 Greatest Comic Book Heroes. When it involves who is the BEST superhero, there’s no simple answer.

He usually sands his horns right down to stumps to “fit in”. Despite being gruff, he has a depraved sense of humour thanks to his upbringing as a normal boy. He possesses none of the evil traits one would count on of a demon. The son of a prostitute, Walter Kovacs was raised in excessive poverty and was faraway from his mother’s care by the state.

When it involves determining the precise rundown of the best-selling comics of all time, the information is murky. In World War II, patriotic solider Steve Rogers volunteered as a test topic for the “Super Soldier Serum” and have become a residing image of freedom. Timely Comics’ most popular character in the course of the war, he was usually depicted preventing the Axis powers. After the war ended, nevertheless, Captain America’s popularity waned. He was reintroduced in the course of the Silver Age of comics, revived from suspended animation by the superhero staff the Avengers.

An antihero that generally resorts to the usage of deadly drive, Wolverine brings out the rebel in all of us. He first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #180 and later gained reputation as a member of the X-Men. He lastly earned his own solo comedian guide in 1988 and has been portrayed by Hugh Jackman in the popular X-Men films. The sales of comedian books elevated markedly throughout World War II. They were low-cost, portable and had inspirational, patriotic tales of good triumphing over evil. The tales very much mirrored the occasions and values of the time.
