Avenger

The Toxic Avenger is returning to the world of comics. Matt Bors, the Pulitzer Prize finalist who founded the daily online political comics publication The Nib, and artist and caricaturist Fred Harper, are collaborating on the what will be a five-issue comic book series. The publisher behind the revival is AHOY Comics, a Syracuse-based publisher dedicated to satirizing horror, space opera, social satire, sword & sorcery, and superhero stories. It is known for putting out Second Coming, a…

Kevin Feige might’ve been the one pulling the strings from the beginning, but if you ask most people, Robert Downey Jr. is the daddy of the MCU. Or maybe they’ll just call him daddy, but that’s a whole other conversation. As the central figure of the franchise throughout the entirety of the Multiverse Saga, an 11-year stretch from 2008’s Iron Man to 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, Tony Stark was launched into the cinematic heroes’ hall of fame and Downey had his career relaunched in a way he’s still benefiting from.…

Fans are fast losing faith in the MCU, but it wasn’t so long ago that the branching cinematic giant reigned supreme. The first Avengers flick dropped just over a decade ago, after all, igniting a furor around the franchise and its future. And boy was that future bright — for a few more years, at least. The downfall seemingly started after Endgame, which — to be fair — could have to do with the near-impossible task of topping that cinematic moment. There’s also the loss of several OG Avengers, including the man who…

Calm down, Ryan Reynolds, no need to start throwing us off the scent with fake set pics starring Mickey Mouse and a Predator this time. The latest Deadpool 3 cameo has been spoiled by an officially released piece of promo art. With the much-anticipated threequel — the only MCU movie releasing in 2024, don’t forget — filming out in the open in the U.K., sneak peeks at Wade Wilson and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine battling a procession of familiar faces have emerged, although Reynolds would rather they didn’t. So we already…

In a hilarious moment in Thor: Ragnarok, Thor attempts to pilot a S.H.I.E.L.D. quinjet, but first he has to say his team codename as a password. Although he’s sure it’s “Strongest Avenger,” Tony Stark has actually set it to “Point Break.” The Asgardian is certain of his status as the biggest gun out of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, but is that really the case? Sure, it’s pretty easy to argue that’s a fact based on the original six founding members of the team, but the MCU has grown exponentially in the decade plus change…

The Marvels hasn’t been the grand return for Captain Marvel that we were hoping, thanks to its calamitous box office performance. But at least Carol Danvers is still the strongest Avenger. Right? Right?? Well, for now, maybe, but it’s just possible that Brie Larson’s cosmic heroine won’t be able to hold onto her title forever. We all know that the battle to be named the most powerful MCU hero is a two-horse race between Carol and Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch. Due to the difference in their power sets — they’re…

With the saga of the original Avengers concluding in Avengers: Endgame, the MCU’s Phase Four was mostly focusing on the second wave of heroes — e.g. Sam Wilson, Wanda Maximoff, and Peter Parker — so far. But at the same time, it’s also carefully sowing the seeds for a new team of protectors to rise up at a later date. Namely, the Young Avengers, created for the comics in 2005 by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung. Over these first couple of years of Phase Four, Marvel has been working overtime in introducing as many members…

The MCU is host to some true powerhouses, but the heroes aren't normally the ones at the peak of the pyramid. Dormammu, Ego, Gorr, Hela — these are just some of the villains who've left their mark on the franchise. And while the likes of Hulk, Thor, and Wanda Maximoff are all incredibly strong, they generally fall a step short of those other names in terms of straight-up power. Captain Marvel has now made a case that she belongs in the top echelon. Restarting a star in mere seconds is a power so absurd…
