The search leads them to strangest planet of all. Glenbrook, U.S.A.! Home — and fiefdom — of Ritchie Redwood, America’s best loved teen! What shocking events will lead the U.S. Avengers to uncover the secrets of the seemingly idyllic planet of Glenbrook whose teenagers keep disappearing? And how will this lead them to Cannonball? PLUS: Includes 3 bonus MARVEL PRIMER PAGES! Story by Robbie Thompson and a TBA artist! U.S.Avengers Vol 1 1. Roberto Da Costa first came to America as a teenager, when he and a group of international students had an interesting education laced with tragedy. It filled him with respect for the country's melting-pot nature. It led him to pursue citizenship. It is why, today, he is co-ordinating the defense against a flying volcano island that threatens to destroy Los Angeles. Toni Ho was the daughter of two Timbetpali academics who moved to Seattle. Her father, Ho Yinsen, left them, moving back to Timbetpal and eventually dying to save Tony Stark. As the half-orphan lesbian daughter of immigrants, high school was socially difficult, but she persevered, showing a head for science and the drive which led her to complete three doctorates simultaneously at M.I.T., and construct the Iron Patriot armor - a fully-nonlethal suit of armor, whose forcefield she uses to hold back the flying island, buying her teammates more time. Aikku Jokinen is a Norwegian national, bonded to a planet-defending weapons system by the actions of a being named Ex Nihlio. Today, she uses the power of the remains of that weapons system to sneak onto the island, incapacitate the guards, and discover the controllers - the Secret Empire. Aikku is apprehensive about modern America, but her girlfriend and teammates are here, and so she fights. Doreen Green is a comp-sci student with dual American-Canadian citizenship and uncanny squirrel-like abilities. When the island launches a flotilla of drones, she and a crack cadre of flying squirrels spring into action to prevent casualties. Robert Maverick is a decorated American general who hates everyone. When the science-terror group Advanced Idea Mechanics became a corporation, he watched it get bought out by da Costa and then restructured as the heroic Avengers Idea Mechanics. He watched A.I.M. be declared terrorists by S.H.I.E.L.D. during the Ulysses Cain incident, then save the life of the American president. To save face, A.I.M. became part of S.H.I.E.L.D. - the American Intelligence Mechanics. As their first act, they perfected a piece of S.H.I.E.L.D. tech that gave people Hulk powers, testing the first example on Maverick himself. For one hour out of every 36, he is the Red Hulk - and today, he uses his power to destroy the island and save the city. Samuel Guthrie is a working-class Kentuckian from a family of rural coalminers. When tragedy claimed his father, he got a job to support his family. When he found he was a mutant, he joined a group dedicated to helping people, where he learned that the highest calling is for people of different backgrounds to work together against hate. Today, the man who taught him that is dead, and hate echoes across America, but he perseveres, because he believes in his fellow man. Sam is telling this story as part of a video campaign, which Bobbie da Costa hopes to use to humanize A.I.M. to the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D. Sam doubts the effectiveness of this plan, and of the A.I.M. team's name - the U.S.Avengers. Bobbie admits it looks clumsy, but he is proud of his country, which he shares with so many people. Despite the state of the present and need for the video campaign, he says, he still believes in the future - just as a future woman wearing the costume and title of Captain America appears before them to ask for assistance. The Golden Skull is a plutophilic plunderer in a near-future America. He believes that nations and brotherhood are lies that people tell themselves. He believes that honest people hold to a simple rule: take what you want. And with the support of a few crack goons, he can make his worldview more real..

While it is obvious. that these comic books can be used in the classroom as a source of reading material, it is tot so obvious that these comic books, with great economy, simplicity, and narrative density, can be used to further introduce novice readers to the techniques found in narrative and to the terms employed in the study and discussion of a narrative. The output of the Marvel Conics Group in particular is literate, is both narratively and pbSlosophically sophisticated, and is ethically and morally responsible. Some of the narrative tecbntques found in the stories, such as the Spider-Man episodes, include foreshadowing, a dramatic fiction narrator, flashback, irony, symbolism, metaphor, Biblical and historical allusions, and mythological allusions.4MKM1 4 4 *********************************************************************** * Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made * * from the original document. * *********************************************************************** ) U SOEPANTMENTO, HEALD..

  • "Captain America Must Die": How a Super Soldier Became a Patriot
    Author Biography Mackenna is a fourth-year history major, with minors in German and Asian studies. Her research interests include the history of popular culture and the Cold War. In her free time, she enjoys reading comic books and binge-watch- ing Survivor and The Amazing Race. After graduation, she hopes to work as an editor in the comic book industry. Johnson “Captain America Must Die”: How a Super Soldier Became a Patriot by Mackenna Johnson Abstract This paper analyzes the character of Captain America in the midst of the Cold War, and particularly asks how and to what extent the character reflects his con- temporary sociopolitical atmosphere. To achieve this end, I first establish the vital role of popular culture, especially comic books, in modern historical research. I then discuss the history of Captain America, the sociopolitical situation of the 1970s, and, finally, introduce the Secret Empire and Nomad storylines of the 1970s, which form the basis of my argument. The most valuable primary source in this paper is not the comic books themselves, but an interview that I recently conducted with the former author of Captain America, Steve Englehart. Ulti- mately, I argue that Englehart redefined Captain America’s version of patriotism and created a character that was more effectively able to reflect on and respond to social and political events. In bold letters: “The Death of a Hero,” next to the lifeless figure of Cap- tain America tied to a chimney, slumped and bleeding. Two figures stood behind the slain man with bowed heads, one African American with high- tech wings strapped to his back, the other blonde-haired and clad mostly in black.

  • A Specialised Hunting Strategy Used to Overcome Dangerous Spider Prey
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Nest usurpation: a specialised hunting strategy used to overcome dangerous spider prey Received: 18 January 2019 Ondřej Michálek 1, Yael Lubin 2 & Stano Pekár 1 Accepted: 14 March 2019 Hunting other predators is dangerous, as the tables can turn and the hunter may become the hunted. Published: xx xx xxxx Specialized araneophagic (spider eating) predators have evolved intriguing hunting strategies that allow them to invade spiders’ webs by adopting a stealthy approach or using aggressive mimicry. Here, we present a newly discovered, specialized hunting strategy of the araneophagic spider Poecilochroa senilis (Araneae: Gnaphosidae), which forces its way into the silk retreat of the potential spider prey and immobilizes it by swathing gluey silk onto its forelegs and mouthparts. Poecilochroa senilis has been reported from the nests of a several, often large, spider species in the Negev desert (Israel), suggesting specialization on spiders as prey. Nevertheless, in laboratory experiments, we found that P. senilis has a wider trophic niche, and fed readily on several small insect species. The specialized nest-invading attack was used more frequently with large spiders, and even small juvenile P. senilis were able to attack and subdue larger spiders. Our observations show that specifc hunting tactics, like nest usurpation, allow specialized predators to overcome defences of dangerous prey. Evolutionary arms races between prey and predators lead to the evolution of various defence mechanisms of the prey and counter-adaptations of predators to subdue such a prey1. Predator-prey arms races are ofen asym- metrical, as a prey organism is under stronger selection pressure2.
