Doesn’t vibranium absorb kinetic energy?

Shouldn’t it hit something and drop straight down?

Hello. I want to read everything where Kitty Pryde is a member/associate of the Guardians from the beginning.

I looked at Guardians of the Galaxy (2015) #1 but there she was already a member of the Guardians, and in Legendary Star Lord (2014) Vol 1 she is already close friends with Peter Quill, so I am wondering where to start.

As we know, Thanos is the greatest villian in Marvel, a back story would have done great. But why hasn't there been one?

In IW, strange saw the future and said that there was only one way to defeat Thanos, which was Tony had to die inevitably? In EG when thanos got hold of the gauntlet, Strange signaled his index finger to Tony. So if Tony knew about this why did he act so indifferent to Scott's theory of time travel? Didn't stranger tell Tony they'll have to do this time travel thing?

Thor and cap marvel duo movie

Love seeing them as brothers but I wanna see good stories about them fighting each other

Love seeing them as brothers but I wanna see good stories about them fighting each other

I don't read the comics themselves (not enough income). I catch spatterings here and there. Saw the 'recon-recon-recon......' thing with Nightcrawler. Figured I'd wait it out a few months for more details to come out on this 'WTF' stuff. Latest post i've seen from a google search on it (my googling sucks) is 5-6 months ago.

I get that Destiny wanted to use Kurt against Azael. I get that the comic writers did what looks like a poor execution of retconning back to claremont's original plan and mystique legit-ly wanting to be a mother to Kurt. And from it looks like, Azazel's DNA giving both ladies the middle finger and gave Kurt some survival capabilities (teleportation, physical attributes, demon look for intimidation).

Is there any update to this though? Wikipedia article on Azazel doesn't have this 'revelation'.

Just finished >!watching x-men '97!< and it reminded me how much I like sunspot design. I like the black crackle and I like a lot of his comic art. However, I don't feel very strongly pulled to read the comic for the character. I wanted to know if I should give his character a chance and how good his art actually is.

I’ve never been a big X-Men reader, haven’t picked up a X-Men comic since House of M(where Wanda is literally called Erik/Max’s daughter), so I had always thought that Wanda and Pietro were Magneto’s children until I read the Wiki that doesn’t have them listed as such… and if it was a recent retcon, what was the point?

Thanos was really something to marvel infinity war strength and knowledge

Called Spider-Man an insect proving he’s been to earth before or has knowledge of the planets life

Assuming the locket stange kept the time stone was gold Thanos crushed it with bare hands to crumble

Just to name a couple

Not interested about making a match with power levels being the main reason, but the most interesting character to interact with Superman as allies and somehow inspire each other to reflect or do things based on lessons learned from the interaction, see a new point of view, receive a metaphorical pat on the back of each other.

Hello! Assuming you didn't see my first post (I ain't judging), I just read all of Avengers Volume 4, which includes New, Young, Dark, Mighty, and more teams. I also read any related annuals, miniseries, or whatever involved with these titles. I'll be posting the highlights of this run for certain Avengers in the coming days, though I won't get to all of them. Also, I should mention that whenever you see a number [#], there's an image to go along with it! Hopefully that adds something to the post. It might be a lot, but I hope you enjoy!

#1. Thor Plus Wolverine
After the Superhuman Civil War, Iron Man is placed in charge of National Security, including SHIELD. And together with Ms. Marvel, these heroes form a new team of Mighty Avengers by picking the best of the best from all available heroes. There were several roles they wanted filled, two of which being a "Thor" (god power) and a "Wolverine" (ready to kill if the need arose). Fortunately, Ms. Marvel knew just the person. The duo approaches Ares, the Olympian god of war and several time Avengers foe. [1] Despite their history, Ares accepts their offer, partially because he's impressed by Iron Man's insistence, but also so that he can provide a better life for his Earth-born son Alex. The Olympian immediately proves useful during a battle against giant Subterranean monsters, but particularly useful in the Mighty Avengers' battle against Ultron. The android takes over Tony Stark's biotech armor, reshaping his physical form to that of the Wasp (Ultron's "mother"). Doctor Henry Pym is called in as an Ultron expert, and he develops a virus that should separate Ultron from Iron Man's biology. However, this virus needed to be specifically injected inside Ultron/Stark's body. Ares volunteers for the project, and he proves an excellent candidate thanks to his durability and battle skills as he fights against the robotic antibodies within. [2] Though they nearly overwhelm him, Ares is rescued by the Wasp, and the pair escapes before Ultron goes BOOM.

#2. Son of War
The goes on many more missions, battling against symbiotes and Doctor Doom. The team is approached by Jessica Jones and her child who needed help, and Ares adorably melted as soon as the baby arrived, presumably with memories of his own son. And speaking of Ares' son Alex, some time around now Nick Fury reaches out to Alex. Fury recruits the boy for his team of Secret Warriors, kind of a secret spy group loyal to Fury, and Ares is not made aware of this. Even during the Secret Invasion, Alex, Fury, and the Secret Warriors are out on the front lines battling while Ares and his team are off in the Savage Land dealing with their own thing. The Mighty Avengers do eventually return, but even up until the end Ares does not discover his son's actions with Fury. The Secret Invasion does finally end though when a man known as Norman Osborn assassinates the Queen of the Skrulls, and this man is celebrated as a war hero that even Ares admires the accomplishments of. Because of his heroism, the US government appoints Norman as the new Director of SHIELD (soon renamed HAMMER) and National Security. This role gives Osborn the rights to the Avengers name, and he extends membership to the current Mighty Avengers. Ares in one of the only two to join alongside Sentry as he admires Norman as stated earlier. [3]

#3. Team Shade
Despite his initial admiration, Ares slowly begins to see the seedier side of Osborn as time goes on and the Dark Avengers go on more missions. And while he's on the Dark Avengers, Ares finally discovers that his son Alex is working for Nick Fury. One day, "on his way to school", Alex is followed by Ares, who confronts Nick Fury and his Secret Warriors. [4] There is a brief battle, but Fury and Ares come to an understanding, and the god of war permits his son to work for Fury as long as Nick makes sure Alex is not harmed. So around now, Osborn sees an opportunity before himself. He happens to be in charge of HAMMER, the most prestigious group of combat trained agents in possibly the whole world, and he also has the Olympian god of war on his payroll. Norman gives Ares his own personal pick of all the HAMMER agents so that he can create the most effective team of elite agents possible. [5] Ares assembles a small band of men, and they are soon put to the test when Ares hears word from his mother Hera that his son has been injured and put in danger, which goes directly against his deal with Fury. The group breaks into the SHIELD base where they believe Alex is being held, but they soon realize they were mistaken upon their arrival. It is not Alex who was in peril, but another of Ares' sons named Kyknos, and he hopes to kill his father Ares to become the new god of war. A battle of immortal proportions ensues, which kills not only Kyknos, but also the men from Ares' elite squad. [6]

#4. Gods and Monsters
In the final days of this volume, Osborn begins planning a Siege on the immortal nation of Asgard, which has temporarily been displaced to Midgard/Earth. Osborn wants them gone and he needs the aid of his own personal immortal to make the battle successful. By his nature, Ares is greatly opposed to this plan, as the Asgardians are a highly honored people among the gods. He initially refuses to aid Osborn in his attack, even threatening to stop him if need be. [7] However, Norman is a master of manipulation, and through deception he ultimately convinces Ares to reluctantly lead his armies alongside him. Not too much time goes by before the strike against Asgard begins, and Ares fights with all his might as you would expect from the god of war. Things change when Ares is informed of Norman's deception. The god is enraged, and he immediately goes to attack Osborn for tricking him into committing such a despicable act. [8] Unfortunately for Ares, Osborn also has the Sentry on his side, and the Sentry has been manipulated into becoming his fully out of control Void self. Before Ares gets to Norman, Sentry/Void is instructed to protect him, and in this confrontation between Ares and Sentry, Ares is torn in half and perishes at his former ally's hand. (Google the image. It's epic, but I'm having trouble with the Auto-Mod already and don't want this post taken down.) Osborn and the Void are defeated, summoning a new Heroic Age, but at the cost of the life of an Avenger.

So is Logan immortal or just has a real streak of longevity?

Background to this so my friends were arguing that Wolverine can't be immortal because Hugh Jackman is getting older. And that because Jackman is getting older, it proves that eventually Logan will die. Of course, the basic problem with this, is that Hugh Jackman is a human being and not a comic book character. Whereas Logan from the comics is fictitious and can be young or old or whatever the writer wants.

So within the main Universe, excluding Old Man Logan, excluding weird alternate futures, is Wolverine immortal? Could he theoretically live forever, or is there a set time limit baked into his character/ X-Gene such as his body will break down after say 2,000 years and it's inevitable?

I'm probably not going to be able to settle the argument with my friends since they can't get over the incontrovertible fact that Hugh Jackman aging has nothing to do with the character aging. But it will put my own mind at rest if I could just hear what folks think overall.

In a sad way, we are the last generation that can have interactions with people who experienced or survived the horrors of WW2. Even those who were babies back then are now old enough to die by old age and get buried by their great-grandchildren.

So. How can Marvel can justify to have Magneto as a 40-60 something in today's world and still write him as a holocaust survivor when he was like 9 or 12 years old without feeling forced or plot convenient?

I just re-read the whole Secret Invasion event, and I don’t get why the Skrull Queen chose Spider-Woman as the most optimal person to take down the superheroes. Like Verkrane even said herself in some comic that she was the best choice.

Like there are a lot of other super types with way more influence then her, Carol Danvers, Tony Stark, Maria Hill, Steve Rogers, and Wanda Maximoff (before her breakdown) to name a few. Spider-Woman has never really had that wide range honestly.

Unless she chose Jessica to have a more subtle influence to play the heroes against one another, which even then she had plenty of other Skrulls who could take this position, while she had a more powerful one.

Could anyone explain this to me?
