I personally don't mind these types of threads, but I'm biased because I too fucked with Shuma from MvC2/3 and i always wanted to know what made it so special to be featured multiple times, but just never looked it up on a wikiI'm not one to thread-shame, but was this worth asking the Era community instead of checking out a few wikis? Are we just checking to see if Slayven is online?
I'll throw something into the pot though.
Even though Shuma first appeared in Marvel Comics as a Dr. Strange adversary - his name was actually taken from the writings of Robert E. Howard. A name you might recognize as the creator of Conan the Barbarian. This makes Shuma Gorath Lovecraftian by proxy - since Howard and Lovecraft were pen pals and often shared ideas.
Shuma is actually one of the few Marvel creations to appear in canon during Marvel's version of the Hyborion Age. Here's our favorite squid boy looking extra fiesty when he was summoned near Conan's homeland of Cimmeria
Other villains that fought both Conan and the modern Marvel Universe include evil sorceror Kulan Gath - infamous for once transforming NYC into a version of the Hyborion Age (in an earlier apparance Mary Jane is possessed by the spirit of Red Sonja and helps and Spider-Man beat Kulan Gath, Gath gets his revenge by killing Spider-Man - though he gets better).
And Varnae the First Vampire. Yup, he's actually the very first Vampire created by the Darkhold. He chose Dracula as his successor.
Essentially, fighting Shuma or any of its counterparts always revolved around "how can we shove this bitch back in the hole it opened before it fully comes through and fucks us all up."
If you watched that movie right now and then I asked who was Blackheart, you'd be guessing only..and shit you might even say Eva Mendes.
Do you actually have a source for that? I'd love to know more
So basically between Doctor Strange and Blade shit is gonna get a lot more supernatural. That is my kinda jam.I'm not one to thread-shame, but was this worth asking the Era community instead of checking out a few wikis? Are we just checking to see if Slayven is online?

this panel first appears in the Infinity Gauntlet series and everyone of these cosmic entities (except the living tribunal) gathered to fight thanos with a full infinity gauntlet and all of them lost.
It's kinda crazy how some of these entities were already in the MCU or about to appear in the MCU
The nerd in me will loves that but i think that's too much for the general populous to handle even for a movie featuring Grimace, a walking tree and a space racoon.
Mutliversal only if someone lets them in, and then their grasp is tenious at best. Thanos dying on their home turf allowed Death from the main universe to wreck their shit. Death couldn't do shit to someone wearing the IG unless they want Death too
