  • [N 1] Adrian Toomes and His Salvage Company Are Contracted
    SECRETARIA MUNICIPAL DE EDUCAÇÃO LÍNGUA INGLESA Name: 6º ANO: LEIA O TEXTO ABAIXO E RESPONDA AS QUESTÕES NO CADERNO. SPIDERMAN: HOMECOMING Plot Following the Battle of New York,[N 1] Adrian Toomes and his salvage company are contracted to clean up the city, but their operation is taken over by the Department of Damage Control (D.O.D.C.), a partnership between Tony Stark and the U.S. government. Enraged at being driven out of business, Toomes persuades his employees to keep the Chitauri technology they have already scavenged and use it to create and sell advanced weapons. Eight years later, Peter Parker is drafted into the Avengers by Stark to help with an internal dispute in Berlin,[N 2] but resumes his studies at the Midtown School of Science and Technology when Stark tells him he is not yet ready to become a full Avenger. Parker quits his school's academic decathlon team to spend more time focusing on his crime-fighting activities as Spider-Man. One night, after preventing criminals from robbing an ATM with their advanced weapons Toomes sold them, Parker returns to his Queens apartment, where his best friend Ned discovers his secret identity. On another night, Parker comes across Toomes' associates Jackson Brice / Shocker and Herman Schultz selling weapons to local criminal Aaron Davis. Parker saves Davis before being caught by Toomes and dropped in a lake, nearly drowning after becoming tangled in a parachute built into his suit. He is rescued by Stark, who is monitoring the Spider-Man suit he gave Parker and warns him against further involvement with the criminals.

A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

  • ABSORBING MAN Villain
    ABSORBING MAN Villain Real Name: Carl "Crusher" Creel Occupation: Professional criminal. Identity: Publicly known. Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with a criminal record. Other Aliases: None. Place of Birth: Houston, Texas. Marital Status: Presumably single. Known Relatives: None. Group Affiliation: None. Base of Operations: Mobile. First Post-Reboot Appearance: THOR: GOD OF THUNDER # History: Crusher Creel was a small-time criminal serving a prison sentence for aggravated assault when he was made an unwitting pawn in one of the schemes cooked up by the Norse trickster god, Loki (see Loki). Posing as one of the inmates assigned to work the prison cafeteria, Loki laced Creel's food with a rare Asgardian herb, granting him superhuman powers. Creel used these new powers to break out of prison, after which he was manipulated into combat with the Norse thunder god, Thor (see Thor). He has since clashed with the thunder god on a second occasion. It has recently come to light that the idea to transform Creel into the Absorbing Man was Sif's; Loki simply implemented it (see Sif). Height: 6' 4" Weight: 265 lbs. Eyes: Brown Hair: Bald; has brown facial hair. Uniform: None. Strength Level: Without changing his body, the Absorbing Man has the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercises. When using his powers, he can increase his strength to many times that, ultimately possessing the ability to lift (press) over 50 tons. Known Superhuman Powers: By touching an item, the Absorbing Man can take on its physical properties.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Western. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Established in 2008 with the release of Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become a ubiquitous transmedia sensation. Its uniquely interwoven narrative provides auspicious grounds for scholarly consideration. The franchise conscientiously presents larger-than-life superheroes as complex and incredibly emotional individuals who form profound interpersonal relationships with one another. This thesis explores Sarah Hagelin’s concept of resistant vulnerability, which she defines as a “shared human experience,” as it manifests in the substantial relationships that Steve Rogers (Captain America) cultivates throughout the Captain America narrative (11). This project focuses on Steve’s relationships with the following characters: Agent Peggy Carter, Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), and Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier).

  • Female Representation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
    Volume 10 Issue 2 (2021) AP Research Superheroines and Sexism: Female Representation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Folukemi Olufidipe1, Ms. Yunex Echezabal1 1Doral Academy Charter High School, Miami, FL, USA DOI: https://doi.org/10.47611/jsrhs.v10i2.1430 ABSTRACT The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is the highest-grossing film franchise of all time and since the premiere of Iron Man in 2008, it has risen to fame as a source of science-fiction entertainment. Sexism in the film industry often goes brushed aside but the widespread success of Marvel Studios calls attention to their treatment of gender roles. This paper explores the progression of six female superheroes in the MCU and what effect feminist movements have had on their roles as well as upcoming productions in the franchise. This paper used an interdisciplinary, mixed- methods design that studied movie scripts and screen time graphs. 14 MCU movies were analyzed through a feminist film theory lens and whenever a female character of interest was chosen, notes were taken on aspects including, but not limited to, dialogue, costume design, and character relationships. My findings showed that females in the MCU are heavily sexualized by directors, costume designers, and even their male co-stars. As powerful as some of these women were found to be, it was concluded that Marvel lacks in female inclusivity. Marvel’s upcoming productions, many of which are female-focused, still marginalize the roles of their superheroines which is a concern for the future of the film industry. Marvel is just one franchise but this study shows how their treatment of female characters uphold patriarchal structures and perpetuate harmful stereotypes that need to be corrected in the film industry as a whole.

  • Iron Man 3 Notes
    ADVANCE rom Marvel Studios comes “Iron Man 3,” which continues the epic, big-screen adventures of the world’s favorite billionaire-inventor-Super Hero, Tony Stark aka FIron Man. Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man? Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book Super Hero Iron Man, who first appeared on the pages of “Tales of Suspense” (#39) in 1963 and had his solo comic book debut with “The Invincible Iron Man” (#1) in May of 1968, “Iron Man 3” returns Robert Downey Jr. (“Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows,” “Tropic Thunder”) as Tony Stark, the iconic Super Hero, along with Gwyneth Paltrow (“Thanks for Sharing,” “Contagion”) as Pepper Potts, Don Cheadle (“Flight,” “Hotel Rwanda”) as James “Rhodey” Rhodes, Guy Pearce (“The Hurt Locker,” “Memento”) as Aldrich Killian, Rebecca Hall (“The Prestige,” “The Town,”) as Maya Hansen, Jon Favreau ( “Identity Thief,” “People Like Us”) as Happy Hogan and Ben Kingsley (“Schindler’s List,” “Gandhi,”) as The Mandarin.

  • Invincible Iron Man: Stark Resilient Vol
    INVINCIBLE IRON MAN: STARK RESILIENT VOL. 5, BOOK 1 PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Matt Fraction,Salvador Larroca | 128 pages | 23 Feb 2011 | Marvel Comics | 9780785145561 | English | New York, United States Invincible Iron Man: Stark Resilient Vol. 5, book 1 PDF Book But I don't blame Fraction for that. Science Fiction. Invincible Iron Man Vol. Apparently he's been doing this for the entirety of Iron Man's run. Yet the way Stark chose to kill himself was so convoluted and drawn out that it made no sense. No more producing weapons, but rather producing green energy for the whole world. Oct 18, Jeff Lanter rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novels. I say that because I am in that category and would have never tried Iron Man otherwise. I think this Omnibus also does a great job of introducing characters from the wider Marvel universe. A good Iron Man story always needs a good secondary story concerning Stark and this book delivers on that front. Fraction does a good job of writing an action-packed story. Invincible Iron Man Collected Editions 1 - 10 of 12 books. The only reason this didn't get 5 stars is because of the sexist artwork. Only the next arc is set up for the one after and so on and so on. Unfortunately, I dislike all of these storylines intensely. Yes, people whine about how there isn't enough Iron Man action, but that doesn't bother me. Tony's broke and is trying to make amends for his years in the weapons biz by creating cheap energy products the first prototype being a repulsar powered car.

  • A Film Review: Iron Man 3 Genre(S): Science Fiction, Action Running
    Tsang Chung Hin (4D) A film review: Iron Man 3 Genre(s): Science Fiction, Action Running time: 130 minutes Director: Shane Black Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Guy Pearce, Gwyneth Paltrow Tony Stark recalls a New Year’s Eve party in 1999 where he meets scientist Maya Hansen, the inventor of Extremis. They undergo an experimental regenerative treatment which allows crippling injuries to recover. The disabled scientist Aldrich Killian offers them a place in his company to do the experiment. But Stark rejects the offer and humiliates Killian. Six months after the Battle of New Year, Stark experiences the alien invasion. He has built several dozen Iron Man suits. He has an argument with his girlfriend, Pepper Potts. Meanwhile, a terrorist has left the intelligence agencies. His security guard Happy Hogan is badly injured in an attack. He survives that attack but the world believes he has died. Then he starts his revenge and saves his girlfriend. This movie is one of the Marvel movies. This may be the last series of Iron Man. Iron Man 3 is more exciting than Iron Man 1 and 2. The story plot and the fighting scenes are good. The iron man suit is so real. Robert Downey Jr. acting as Tony Stark is especially good. He actually acts what Tony Stark should feel. His jokes make the film not so boring. That’s why I love him and his acting so much. Though this may be the last series of Iron Man, I hope to see more Iron Man films starring Robert Downey Jr.
