This is Past Was Close Behind, a feature that spotlights moments, exchanges, etc. from older comics that take on a brand new light when read in concert with later comic books or events. Basically, stuff that looks hilarious in hindsight. One of the all-time oddest members of the Avengers was Demolition Man, who went by the shortened title, D-Man. He was a vigilante who befriended Captain America during the time period where Steve Rogers had lost the title of Captain America and so was being a superhero as The Captain. D-Man became one of Captain’s closest allies, and so when Cap decided to re-form the Avengers after Inferno, he naturally chose his friend, D-Man, to help join the team. However, tragically D-Man was seemingly lost during battle in the arctic. When he was discovered 50 issues later (by USAgent and Falcon, as Cap was off in space as part of Opetation: Galactic Storm), his brain was muddled from the time spent in the freezing arctic. When he recovered, he became

Manga had anime adaptation on "Vertical Anime" app Seven Seas Entertainment announced on Tuesday that it has licensed Jin's Precarious Woman Executive Miss Black General (Zannen Onna Kanbu Black General-san) manga. The first volume is slated for physical and digital release on June 19, 2018. Seven Seas describes the story: It's not easy being a super-villainess when you're crushing hard on your superhero nemesis. Miss Black General is the evil executive of the secret organization RX and dreams of world domination. Problem is, Brave Man–the hero that gives her warm fuzzies–is set on thwarting all of her dastardly plots. To make matters even more complicated, Miss Black General has a habit of misinterpreting Brave Man's counterattacks–as flirtation. This slapstick comedy puts a romantic twist on the age-old battle of good vs. evil! The creator jin launched the ongoing manga in Monthly Dragon Age in 2015, and Kadokawa published the manga's third compiled book volume on July

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for Action Comics #987, now on sale. Working in the shadows since Superman #32 of the New 52 era and rising to become one of the most powerful figures of DC’s Rebirth, the identity of Mister Oz has finally been revealed in Action Comics #987 by Dan Jurgens and Viktor Bogdanovic. While readers had largely suspected that Oz was in fact Adrien Veidt, Ozymandias from Watchmen, due both to the cloaked figure’s name and Rebirth’s larger interest in the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons classic, the first chapter of “The Oz Effect” story arc revealed the character to be someone else entirely. And… it’s not good. There are a few problems with the revelation that Mister Oz is in fact Superman’s father Jor-El, who somehow survived the destruction of Krypton. More than a few, really. But my overwhelming feeling on finishing this issue was not shock, or excitement, or disappoint, but rather&hellip

Serinda Swan has made the journey from Smallville to the Blue Area of the Moon, and from the DC Comics television universe to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actress, who debuted in 2009 as the magician Zatanna during the eighth season of Smallville, now stars as queen Medusa on Marvel’s Inhumans – and she admits that diving deep into her comic book research was a big part of the fun, as she was particularly fascinated by the character’s long, complex mythology and sometimes-shifting allegiances. “Medusa started in 1965,” says Swan, whose credits also include Ballers, Graceland and TRON: Legacy. “She’s got layers. She’s got different volumes of her. She’s a villain one day, and a hero the next, and I think that’s what makes it be timeless. You get to see all the sides of these perfectly flawed Inhumans.” RELATED: IMAX Nearly Passed on It in Favor of Marvel’s Inhumans Ahead of Friday’s broadcast premiere

Villains and their often intricate complexities can be incredibly difficult to get right; for superhero narratives specifically, an interesting balance needs to be struck in how they are pit against heroes. Physicality is not the only manner in which a villain should excel to be considered a formidable threat. In fact, sometimes physical prowess is of no interest at all. A villainous character’s motives are typically put under a microscope, as is intelligence, personal ethics or code, and how they choose to enact their nefarious deeds. Many villains in the Arrowverse can be simply characterized by the criteria stated above, because story arcs allow them to develop into characters that are just as rounded as the franchise’s most dynamic heroes.

Both Marvel Studios and DC have made a big effort to fit hidden secrets in their cinematic universes, whether they be references to the comic book source material from which these movies originate, subtle foreshadowing to the future of these cinematic universes, references to obscure comic book characters, or even just references to other popular franchises that the filmmakers happen to be fans of. It adds an extra layer of fun for fans of these movies to obsessively comb through every frame to find these little secrets, and some of them are so well hidden that they still have yet to be found.
