  • (“Spider-Man”) Cr
    PRIVILEGED ATTORNEY-CLIENT COMMUNICATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LICENSE AGREEMENT (“SPIDER-MAN”) CREATIVE ISSUES This memo summarizes certain terms of the Second Amended and Restated License Agreement (“Spider-Man”) between SPE and Marvel, effective September 15, 2011 (the “Agreement”). 1. CHARACTERS AND OTHER CREATIVE ELEMENTS: a. Exclusive to SPE: . The “Spider-Man” character, “Peter Parker” and essentially all existing and future alternate versions, iterations, and alter egos of the “Spider- Man” character. All fictional characters, places structures, businesses, groups, or other entities or elements (collectively, “Creative Elements”) that are listed on the attached Schedule 6. All existing (as of 9/15/11) characters and other Creative Elements that are “Primarily Associated With” Spider-Man but were “Inadvertently Omitted” from Schedule 6. The Agreement contains detailed definitions of these terms, but they basically conform to common-sense meanings. If SPE and Marvel cannot agree as to whether a character or other creative element is Primarily Associated With Spider-Man and/or were Inadvertently Omitted, the matter will be determined by expedited arbitration. All newly created (after 9/15/11) characters and other Creative Elements that first appear in a work that is titled or branded with “Spider-Man” or in which “Spider-Man” is the main protagonist (but not including any team- up work featuring both Spider-Man and another major Marvel character that isn’t part of the Spider-Man Property). The origin story, secret identities, alter egos, powers, costumes, equipment, and other elements of, or associated with, Spider-Man and the other Creative Elements covered above. The story lines of individual Marvel comic books and other works in which Spider-Man or other characters granted to SPE appear, subject to Marvel confirming ownership.

Brock agreed to bond with it, not only gaining the symbiotes abilities, but also learning everything it knew about Peter Parker. However, before he listens to the Hobgoblin's proposal, he is determined to prove if this is really the Hobgoblin, as he had heard that he had been killed. Jun 05, David Rhodes rated it really liked it. That's not a knock on the graphic novel, but more so on the quality of comic writing that created Venom in the first place. This leads to the Chapel scene And Eddie Brock. Feb 18, Paige rated it it was ok. Jul 22, Logan rated it it was amazing. Fireheart accepts the Rose's job to eliminate Spider-Man, looking forward to testing his powers against one of New York City's famous superheroes. We do eventually get Venom, but his reveal comes as more of a twist to readers than it does an expected development. Jim Shooter Text. It's disappointing really, because a major part of the Spider-Man universe is its character development, and the symbiote is the only one we really have background and development with. He reminds himself that he should have Reed Richards examine the costume as soon as possible.

    Edmund Drury 1 On Other Worlds Edmund Drury WorldsOn Other An Investigation into Worldbuilding A Dissertation By Edmund Drury 2 3 On Other Worlds Edmund Drury Contents Introduction 7 Fictional Worlds in Real Place 12 Maps and Fiction 29 Translation 60 Conclusion 78 List of Illustrations 90 Bibliography 95 Printed and Bound by Edmund Drury 4 5 On Other Worlds Edmund Drury Introduction ‘Above all, worldbuilding is not technically necessary. It is the great clomping foot of nerdism. It is the attempt to exhaustively survey a place that isn’t there. A good writer would never try to do that, even with a place that is there. It isn’t possible, & if it was the results wouldn’t be readable: they would constitute not a book but the biggest library ever built, a hallowed place of dedication & lifelong study. This gives us a clue to the psychological type of the worldbuilder & the worldbuilder’s victim, & makes us very afraid.’ (Harrison, 2007) So is worldbuilding just boring nerdism? Certainly not all aspects of worldbuilding appeal to everyone. According to many it was the lengthy detail of trade disputes and politics that made the new Star Wars trilogy such a disaster, and certain passages in Lord of the Rings, one of the key texts in fantasy worldbuilding, are not always the easiest to read. Of course M. John Harrison cannot be totally averse to worldbuilding (his best known work is set in the fi ctional city of Viriconium) but he believes that focusing on it as an activity in its own right risks putting the creative emphasis in the wrong place.

    September 2019 Harmony Hall A Brief History of Argentina Sebastian Cabot was the explorer who, in September of 1527, built a fort at the confluence of the Paraná and Carcarañá Rivers, thereby establishing the first European outpost in present-day Argentina. There is no better time than September, Hispanic Heritage Celebrating September Month, to celebrate these beginnings. Intrigued by rumors of silver and gold in the region, Cabot renamed Happy Cat Month the main estuary Río de la Plata, or River of Silver. Alas, Cabot never returned, and his fort was destroyed less than two years later.

  • Red Hulk - Marvel Universe Wiki: the Definitive Online Source for Marvel Super Hero Bios
    Red Hulk - Marvel Universe Wiki: The definitive online source for Marvel super hero bios. 5/20/13 11:00 PM Red Hulk As a young man, Thaddeus Ross enlisted in the military and received his nickname from his troops because he "struck like a thunderbolt" when leading them into action. Now he has become the very thing he hated most in life. He is the Red Hulk. Military Man General Thaddeus E. Ross was born into a family with a proud tradition of military ser- vice. Both his father and his grandfather served heroically in past American wars. As a boy Thaddeus immersed himself in military history, and he learned how to fly by barn- storming at country fairs. When he came of age Ross enlisted in the military, graduating first in his class at West Point. He married Karen Lee, the daughter of his commanding officer at the time. Ross rapidly rose in rank to captain and then major while serving in his first war. Ross made a great reputation as a leader in combat, but after the war, he was stationed at the nu- clear research facility at Los Alamos, New Mexico. There he met nuclear physicist Brian Banner, the father of Robert Bruce Banner. Ross had risen to the rank of colonel by the time he was sent to his next war, during which he became a general in the U.S. Air Force (Ross never rose beyond three-star gen- eral). As he gloried in combat, he was dissatisfied with the "desk jobs" he was given be- fore and after the war.
