Remember when Marvel Robert Kennedy and JFK ask Blue Marvel to retire because they were scared how the USA would react to a superpowered negro?

Yes it is. It's just so cool. Just overpowered Marvel cosmic characters doing overpowered cosmic bullshit. You don't have to worry about shit like "why does Superman need the Justice League?" when everyone is on that level.

My list of books keeps growing. So I gotta finish Dawn of X, start Aaron's Thor run & now Ewing's Ultimates. Thanks!
I'm digging the jackets and vests over the superhero costume. Gives me a 90s vibe and out of all the strange, EXTREME shit done to character designs back then, I actually liked that look a LOT.
Like it has just some of the best moments.
The best moments.
EASILY, one of the most stacked and interesting lineups.
Not one dud.
Mark Millar is a dumbass.
I'm pretty sure this was made in response to that.
I really like the first two Underworld films, I never looked into who made them. Really cool, thanks for sharing.Side fact, Blue Marvel is one of the few charactors that could be played by his creator
Kevin Grevioux who also wrote the Underworld series

God I just imagined Galactus akwardly asking if "we cool?" and hesitantly holding an enormous hand out for a fist bump.
Never heard of Blue Marvel. But my Marvel lore isnt great, I was a 2000AD kid.
Is the Ultimates comic mentioned above the one to get?

Also for that Blue Marvel love, don't sleep on Mighty Avengers, also by Al Ewing. Has a pretty big line-up. Blue Marvel, Luke Cage, Sam Wilson (as Falcon and later as Captain America), Blade, Monica Rambeau, Jessica Jones, White Tiger, Power Man (Victor Alvarez), Spider-Man, Iron Fist, She-Hulk, Dr Positron (one Blue Marvel's sons, Kevin Brashear)
It got fucked up by events, as is the way of Marvel/ DC comics, and rebooted as Captain America and the Mighty Avengers, again by Al Ewing. Still with Blue Marvel.

The Black Marvel from the 90s Spider-Man TAS has a similar origin, including the reason for wearing a mask.
Pretty deep for a kids' show

I liked seeing Blue Marvel in that context - Ultimates is great, and you do get some conflict later on, but guys like T'Challa and Monica and Brashear are usually on the same page with big problems, big solutions. And he obviously thrives in that context. But it's nice to have the other side of that coin, putting him next to guys like Luke Cage, where you get some natural head-butting. Gave me Icon/Rocket vibes.
That's honestly one of the things I like about Marvel's black heroes - you have a good amount of diversity in age, class, background, nationality. Like, you have Misty Knight (former cop) and Luke Cage (formerly incarcerated) with the same goals but very different paths; I remember Coates played with that a bit in his run on The Crew.
He needs to appear in the MCU. What is Feige's opinion on him?
She needs to appear in the MCU as well.
I couldn't remember if it was actually confirmed. I also actually watched that Baby-sitters' Club reboot and I'm real curious to see her playing a badass now 😆
Damn I'm one of those jumping into the comics as an adult and I wanted get into the recent Avengers runs. Between these two (three?) by Ewing and another with Static Shock, Ms. Marvel, and Deadpool I think, I got a lot of Avengers to read and it all sounds dope!

Blue Marvel doesn't play a big part, but also read Avengers: No Surrender and Avengers: No Road Home. They are relatively recent events within the Avengers on-going, written by Al Ewing, Mark Waid, and Jim Zub, and they are fantastic.
Absolutely. Some of my favorite recent stories. He's in No Surrender, though not No Road Home.
Blue Marvel went from "who's this guy" to one of my favorite superheroes of all time. Now Marvel just needs to get him into the films.
Hence why I have the Avatar. This is my trinity lol. Wish Marvel would do a trinity comic like DC but have them as the trinity

Blue Marvel also has a reoccurring role in the Doctor Doom solo. Doesn't really do anything superheroic, but no one does since it's Doom centric.

Mostly comic book science. Aside from superhero and geopolitics, the core of the book is about a black hole on the moon that none of the other super geniuses can figure out how to stop before it swallows Earth.
It's not a Doom/Marvel show, but BM shows up for science and hero stuff. Issue #9 is classic Doom, though.
Al Ewing had Galactus literally punch the concept of chaos in the face.
If you're not reading his books already, why not?

Which was worse: DC Trinity as literal god figures or heroes vs. villains set up like at least 3 different decks of tarot cards

When they had alternative Trinities competing against each other
I only vaguely remember that part.
I've repressed a lot of that storyline because even as a kid I knew it was omega cringe.
Is this one of those stories where his wife spied on him but fell in love with him?
You know they are serious when they are willing to sacrifice a white woman.
Same. It was the same way with black panther.
