The Lethal Legion and the Black Order have arrived on Earth to fight for cosmic objects called Pyramoids, which are wreaking elemental havoc on their surroundings. Most of the world’s heroes and villains have been trapped in a mysterious stasis, leaving behind only a handful of Avengers as the planet’s last line of defense. When Pyramoids landed in Rome and Peru, the remaining Avengers split into teams to investigate, but the battle has already claimed several of them, and Black Dwarf beat the Rome team to the first Pyramoid. After the heroes in Rome saw their Pyramoid inexplicably annihilate Black Dwarf, they sent Lightning to Peru to warn the other team of the danger, but he was too late--the Human Torch had already touched the second Pyramoid… WRITERS Al Ewing, Jim Zub & Mark Waid ARTIST Kim Jacinto Color Artist David Curiel Letterer VC’s Cory Petit CoVER Mark Brooks VARIANT COVERS Editor in Chief Nick Bradshaw & Jim Campbell; Ramon Perez C.B.

    The Green Scare: Radical environmental activism and the invention of “eco-terror- ism” in American superhero comics from 1970 to 1990 by Brendan James Lacy A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfi llment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2021 © Brendan James Lacy 2021 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required fi nal revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract American environmentalism became a recognizable social move- ment in the 1960s. In the following two decades the movement evolved to represent a diverse set of philosophies and developed new protest methods. In the early 1990s law enforcement and govern- ment offi cials in America, with support from extraction industries, created an image of the radical environmental movement as danger- ous “eco-terrorists.” Th e concept was deployed in an eff ort to de-val- ue the environmental movement’s position at a time of heightened environmental consciousness. With the concept in place members of the movement became easier to detain and the public easier to deter through political repression. Th e concept of “eco-terrorism” enters popular media relatively quickly indicated by the proliferation of superhero comics in the ear- ly 1990s that present villainous environmental activists as “eco-ter- rorists.” Th is imagery contrasts comics from 1970 which depicted superheroes as working alongside activists for the betterment of the world.

  • Narratives of Contamination and Mutation in Literatures of the Anthropocene Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Radiant Beings: Narratives of Contamination and Mutation in Literatures of the Anthropocene Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kristin Michelle Ferebee Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Dr. Thomas S. Davis, Advisor Dr. Jared Gardner Dr. Brian McHale Dr. Rebekah Sheldon 1 Copyrighted by Kristin Michelle Ferebee 2019 2 Abstract The Anthropocene era— a term put forward to differentiate the timespan in which human activity has left a geological mark on the Earth, and which is most often now applied to what J.R. McNeill labels the post-1945 “Great Acceleration”— has seen a proliferation of narratives that center around questions of radioactive, toxic, and other bodily contamination and this contamination’s potential effects. Across literature, memoir, comics, television, and film, these narratives play out the cultural anxieties of a world that is itself increasingly figured as contaminated. In this dissertation, I read examples of these narratives as suggesting that behind these anxieties lies a more central anxiety concerning the sustainability of Western liberal humanism and its foundational human figure. Without celebrating contamination, I argue that the very concept of what it means to be “contaminated” must be rethought, as representations of the contaminated body shape and shaped by a nervous policing of what counts as “human.” To this end, I offer a strategy of posthuman/ist reading that draws on new materialist approaches from the Environmental Humanities, and mobilize this strategy to highlight the ways in which narratives of contamination from Marvel Comics to memoir are already rejecting the problematic ideology of the human and envisioning what might come next.

Now dont get me wrong I have higher aspiration than crime and "BOPPING".....in fact I have something else in mind. The salvation of Humanity. CROWD MEMBER WE CAN DIG IT A raucous laughter. RISMAN We will flood this city and drown this atrocity called mutant. It is God's will, with the lord at your back who can stop us. Crowd now frenzied all begin to move away from the podium.

Ok Search Films Home » Gay Essential Films To Watch, Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel Gay Essential Films To Watch, Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel Over a decade in the making, Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel is the long gestating follow-up to 2004’s Surge of Power: The Stuff of Heroes, which made headlines as the world’s first openly gay superhero adventure. The sequel is the passion project of writer/producer and lead actor Vincent J. Roth, and like the first entry in this unlikely franchise, is a tongue in cheek spoof of superhero culture, with multiple nods to some of the most beloved touchstones of nerd culture over the past half century. Metal Master (John Venturrini), the nemesis of the Surge, attempts to fall away from a life of crime- but after his parents still refuse to accept his sexuality, he keeps to his super villain ways, and heads to Las Vegas on a plan to steal some powerful crystals for evil mastermind Augur (Eric Roberts). Hearing about this plan, The Surge (played, of course, by J. Roth) heads in his high powered surge- mobile over to the city of sin to thwart his evil plan in his tracks. There are numerous cameos from famous faces – from The Exorcist’s Linda Blair as Metal Master’s homophobic mother, to Nichelle Nichols (Uhura in the original sixties Star Trek series) as one of the most powerful superheroes in this galaxy.
