Avengers Marvel

Avengers Marvel comic book fans?

Which was better – the Kang War of 1974-5 or the Kang War of 2001?

I liked the Avenger’s Forever take on Kang. Interesting aspects with Kang/Iron man later on. Don’t remember too much about the 1974-1975 Avenger’s books, although I am sure I have read the stories. Here is Steve Englehart’s take on Kang. He wrote Kang in the 1974-1975 books.

Steve Englehart’s Thoughts on Kang

[Editor's note: As most all of you know, Steve Englehart wrote the AVENGERS during the 1970s, and AVENGERS WEST COAST during the 1980s, in addition to many other Marvel comics and related projects. He also created NIGHT MAN for Malibu and currently writes scripts for the TV program based upon his comic. Steve was asked for his thoughts on Kang, and specifically what was in his mind when he wrote Kang back in the 1970s. He was kind enough to share some of his thoughts with the Jarvis Heads, and give permission to reprint the reply here. --Van Plexico]

I don’t know the current Marvel reality, but if you were Rama-Tut, and Dr. Doom, and Kang, (and Immortus?), and moved back and forth among those identities, living in super-scientific splendor one day and in the sands of Egypt the next, fighting the Avengers one day and helping the FF the next…I think you’d start to see identity as a fluid and illusory thing. Hopefully you’d still know who you were at bottom (though I’d wonder what name the guy would talk to himself with), but after that, life would be very existential.

I personally, in my heart of hearts, thought “Kang” was the weakest of the identities, in a character sense. He had amazing power, and could easily be seen as the Avengers’ greatest villain (though Ultron’s not bad)–I still love the idea that they could fight him for a month, beat him, and have him return two minutes later while they’re lying around gasping, with him tanned, rested, and ready from two years of preparation for this next attack.

I think that because of that in the real world he’d beat them in the end; unless they killed him they couldn’t stop him from overwhelming them (and even then, he’d be coming at them from non-killed times). But “Kang” lacks the deeper character bits that the other identities had. Stan gave him a girlfriend way back when, but it never went anywhere, and beyond that he was just a Bad Guy (all this subject to revision due to that amazing Kang story I haven’t seen).

Part of my mind-set when I did GS AVENGERS 2 was, you start off as Rama Tut and reach the real heights as Dr. Doom. You can then go on to become Kang but you can never do anything Doom hasn’t done as well or better (time travel is a shtick but doesn’t make you *feel* any better than that first time you stole the Silver Surfer’s power)…so eventually you tire of it all and try to set it right. Kang, then, is already past it just by being Kang, fighting off a future he feels deep down but won’t admit to, and trying to keep it down by staging more and more grandiose schemes.

Geez, I do like the guy (or what he could be).

Iron Man Cartoon

A few months ago, one of my friends sent me a text – “I’m so glad to be part of the Marvel/DC generation!” Technically, anyone alive during the 1960′s and on is part of the Marvel/DC generation, but my friend had a point – in the 1990′s specially, fans were introduced to all variety of comic book characters on Saturday morning cartoons – and Iron Man is no exception.

The first Iron Man cartoon debuted twice before the 1990′s – first in the 1966 series The Marvel superheroes and second in a guest spot in Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends,. Most people – my friend included – are familiar with his appearance in the 1990′s. Iron Man had his own show in 1994, which ran for two seasons. Ironically, Iron Man shared the spotlight considerably not only with Jim Rhodes’ future alter ego War Machine, but also with the Avengers spin-off Force Works, which consisted of classic heroes like Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch. Iron Man’s arch-nemesis the Mandarin appeared, with a similarly prolific group of supervillains, including Blizzard, MODOK, Grey Gargoyle, Justin Hammer.

The next Iron Man cartoon appearance came during Spider-Man: The Animated Series, when Spider-Man teamed up with both War Machine and Iron Man against the likes of fan-favorite adversaries Venom and Carnage. Iron Man cartoons would continue with appearance in the Incredible Hulk animated series as well as a non-speaking role in the Fantastic Four cartoon.

The Iron Man cartoons have been continuing through present day. Iron Man showed up in the Ultimates-based Avengers: United They Stand as well as his own direct-to-DVD animated feature the Invincible Iron Man. Iron Man was also seen in the latest Fantastic Four: World’s Greatest Hero, and there is a second Iron Man cartoon series airing soon – if it hasn’t already. An older Tony Stark will also appear in the direct-to-DVD animated feature Next Avengers.

In many ways, the scattered appearance of the Iron Man cartoons through several animated series through both stand-alone series and guest spots represents a larger strategy by Marvel Comics. One of the principal charms of Marvel comes from the interactivity of its characters, which all inhabit the same fictional New York City. Since Marvel Studios now owns the rights to its own film projects, expect to see a guest appearance by Tony Stark in the upcoming Incredible Hulk, paving the way to a big screen Avengers sometime in 2011.

Capt America

What movie had an AfricanAmerican protrayed as Captain America?

I seen some movie a while years ago. It had some elderly black gent. who was talking to this younger black man. Sort of a “Passing of the Torch” lecturing. And the elder man uncovers the Capt. America Shield. The Younger man looks at the elder man like “What, No way. Everyone knows Capt. Amer. was a white man…” And the elder man has this look on his face like “That’s what they think”…

Anyone know what movie this was???
I also just remembered, I think the elderly man was a limo driver on the side.

He is Isaiah Bradley and here’s a cool pic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah_Bradley
