I realize that Like Lightning was mostly continuing Thunderbolts: Justice series in the same vein that Busiek started, but I'm not sure Like Lightning you can write a Thunderbolts retrospective that completely ignores , who wrote about one third of all Thunderbolts comics. But for the most part, I like a lot of what Nicieza did in the series from what I've seen. Unfortunately, certain trades are harder to track than others. But I may go back to through in his contributions just to be sure. Thanks for the reminder! Blog's back, I guess. So why not show off with an overview of a comic book team I am and remain to be a huge fan of: the Thunderbolts! In the mid to late 90s, Marvel was in a bad place. There are hundreds of videos and blogs that discuss this Like Lightning further Like Lightning and why but long story short, the company was going bankrupt and creatively they were in a really bad place. After an event involving the fighting the monster , they disappeared probably a good thing considering their book was not doing well and were out of the public eye on their world, but really on a Like Lightning world because comics. But debuting in the Avengers' place on Earth were a team called the Thunderbolts. This team has Like Lightning quite a run in the comics world, with different creative teams and different ideas to explore the team. Here I plan to do an overview of their most well-known runs of the story and where they are now. For this overview, I will just go over their most well-known and prominent runs, though I may have to skip a few eras that were left in the dust. As Thunderbolts: Justice, I will discuss my thoughts Thunderbolts: Justice criticisms of said runs, whether Like Lightning are good, bad or had ideas that never went anywhere. I will try to provide as best a summary of the stories I can, but some of these go on for years so sorry if I skip over a few things. The Beginning: and First, the is the debut issue of the Thunderbolts comic, though the team Like Lightning debut earlier in another comic, but not too much on that. The team appeared almost out of nowhere, saving the day from and gaining the public's eye. But what the adoring public do not know is that Thunderbolts: Justice team of heroes are really supervillains! As this line-up, brought them together to masquerade as heroes to gain the public and government's trust so they could acquire their secrets and such to conquer the world. Keep in mind that at the time, the Avengers and Fantastic 4 were presumed Like Lightning, so a vacuum was left for the Thunderbolts to take advantage Like Lightning. And here is the image that showed readers that shocking plot twist: Keep in mind, this was in the late 90s. No internet or anything to spoil this shocking moment, just Thunderbolts: Justice turning the page to discover these new heroes were familiar villains! For the first little while, the team would act like heroes in public, then return to base and return to their former selves when back in private. However, as the team continued their roles as heroes, a good number of them discovered they liked being heroes. The act of doing good was growing on them. As well, there were fun stories where they crossed over with other heroes with interesting results, such as when Spider-man was Thunderbolts: Justice of a crime he didn't do. In this situation, MACH-1 wanted to take Spider-man Like Lightning, as he crossed paths with the webslinger under the identity, but he was aware that Spider-man was innocent. In the end, he chose to help Spider-man and became better for it. Later in the series, a young Asian American teenage who was experimented Thunderbolts: Justice by a would join the Thunderbolts under the name because she had electric powers. With this new addition that didn't know the Thunderbolts were villains, the team was forced to further continue their charade even out Like Lightning the public eye. As the series progressed, they would team-up with other heroes and even meet-up with the returning Avengers. But as people would dread, this would not last. Baron Zemo outed the team as supervillains, forcing them to return to Zemo's side as the heroes won't take them in anymore and the villain community would reject them entirely for their role as superheroes. But Zemo would regret that decision as the team would turn on him, choosing to remain in the roles of heroes, no matter what anyone else thinks, continuing their paths for redemption and heroism. In this following run, the team would be taken over and led by , Thunderbolts: Justice Avenger who once walked a path of villainy, though this was way back when. This is a good move, as Hawkeye knows what it's like Like Lightning be treated as a criminal and understands the long path to redemption. Now a quick overview on the Like Lightning. First, one Thunderbolts: Justice my favourite characters: ! Thunderbolts: Justice Screaming Mimi, a pretty minor, D-list villain in the , Songbird aka Melissa Gold started off as a shy, Like Lightning member of the team, though her Screaming Mimi persona was known to be very Like Lightning and unkind. Songbird's character throughout her fictional history has one of the most complex arcs I've seen in a character. She starts off as shy, timid and not very vocal, despite the fact her powers come from her voice, and then grows to be a confident, kind-hearted, outspoken of the Thunderbolts and later an incarnation of the Avengers. I'm generally surprised no one at Marvel are making a bigger push on the character consider the potential she has alone, whether making her a more permanent Avengers member, a new Thunderbolts book with her, or even giving her a solo title, but hey, it happens. aka Baron Zemo is your average villain in a disguise character, but here it's done so well that you just can't help but enjoy yourself. He plays Like Lightning V like a super noble , Thunderbolts: Justice makes sense consider that he wears the American flag on himself, which is the point since he has to gain the public's trust then he's back to villain and the switch is awesome. Moonstone is scheming, selfish and untrusting, making her a great foil against the more innocent and kindhearted Songbird. Plus, you've got Atlas and , who have differing degrees of loyalty to Baron Zemo as well as different inner struggles of being a hero or a villain. Finally, there's Jolt, a super fan of Thunderbolts: Justice who you Like Lightning want Like Lightning see hurt, so when she discovers they're villains, it's heart-wrenching for her as it is for the reader. This Thunderbolts: Justice would lead to the team starting to become a reform squad for villains, with characters leaving and new characters joining throughout. Busiek and Bagley would leave at this time, especially since Busiek would write Avengers Like Lightning Bagley would eventually team with for Ultimate Spider-man. The team would be part of major events and crossovers through tie-ins and occasional appearances in other Like Lightning, but the team would change in the next Like Lightning run. Thunderbolts: Justice a comment here pointed out that he was also a massive part of the team, so from what I have read I will add what I can. First, he continued with Hawkeye's leadership on the team, but also this was a big character exploration First, there is of course Songbird and all of her character development from that timid, dependent girl to Thunderbolts: Justice back to Thunderbolts: Justice Screaming Mimi persona to finally Songbird the leader! She would eventually lead the team, which would Thunderbolts: Justice in size and even grow to include and other minor villains. Also, there was Baron Zemo who Like Lightning the team to find redemption of his own. Sure, there is the story of Songbird getting close to him just so she can kill him, which that is a story I'm looking for, but it is interesting to see Zemo attempt to atone for his past evil deeds Yeah, unfortunately, like all heroes and villains in comics getting passed from writer to writer, Zemo would fall back to more villainous ways. Not saying that's a bad thing but it is interesting to see Zemo attempt some kind of redemption, even if he may or may not deserve it. Eventually, I'll find some good trades of the book then be able to go more in depth of each. Plus in , Zemo was playing both sides of the war. That's a Zemo thing he would do. But in the aftermath of Civil War, the team would change This book is a result of Marvel's status quo being changed from the event Civil War in The Pro-registration Act forces heroes that have not revealed their identities to the government on the run, and who better to stop Like Lightning than the Thunderbolts. This team's line up feature two of the original teammates, Songbird and Moonstone, with you know, the being the manager and leader of the team. Rounding out the rest of the team would be , , Penance, , and , with the former Scorpion Like Lightning the 's host this time. This is the run most similar to DC's , as it is primarily made up of villains being forced by the government via electric shock nanites because comics to hunt unregistered heroes. Songbird, following a previous line-up where she had a relationship with Baron Zemo, is demoted from leader of the team to keep her in check but not fired because she makes the team look good, plus she's powerful so there's that. Here, Moonstone is full on villain, manipulating everyone on the Thunderbolts: Justice and even Norman Osborn himself to retain leadership on the team. My general thoughts here are simple: this is what defined the Thunderbolts for the longest time, even into their later run and also this is the run that introduced me to the team, thanks especially to Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2. The team using villains to attempt to reform them, but ulterior motives Thunderbolts: Justice put members that don't particular deserve it while the good people would be punished or made to be bad. There are people frustrated by this run as it did define the team as super villains being reformed rather than the Like Lightning run, making them in some ways similar to Suicide Squad, but this is one of the best runs of the team. So first the counter-points: 1. The concept of the team wanting to be a villain reform team was done really early in their run, this is taking an old idea and building off of it. All versions of the team were working towards redemption with no bomb in there necks. The team is publicly known to be a group of villains that the government are controlling. The Suicide Squad were on secret missions with a team of expendable criminals the government could off or place Like Lightning blame Thunderbolts: Justice if needed. Though on the other hand, unfortunately some writers have looked at the team and got the absolutely wrong ideas from the team. More on that later. With the character dynamics, you have Songbird, a character of such great depth and who has gone through so much now demoted and forced to obey Thunderbolts: Justice two worst people imaginable, Moonstone and Norman Osborn. Speaking of which, both Osborn and Moonstone are villainous, using their power to give them continuous leverage on the team and on each other, as well as making themselves look good for the public and the fugitive heroes look bad with theatrics, much to Songbird's dismay and concern. With the rest of the team, you have even further great character dynamics: Radioactive Man is a villain genuinely trying to be a hero Thunderbolts: Justice though sometimes he sees that his actions are bad; Swordsman is looking out for himself but has some heroic qualities; Venom and Bullseye Thunderbolts: Justice monsters who enjoy maiming those that beat them down; and Penance, formerly the hero Thunderbolts: Justice, is on the team for redemption that he feels he doesn't deserve, using his suit and other means of self-harm to cause himself greater pain, plus his powers are activated through pain so yeah he has issues. Thunderbolts: Justice have a good mix Thunderbolts: Justice heroes and villains here Like Lightning Ellis knocks it out of the park with them. With everyone's self interests and motivations here, Ellis makes a team that is on the edge of self-destructing. Plus, eventually, Osborn becomes the Green Goblin once more and leads to one of my favourite Songbird moments: Songbird vs the Green Goblin in an all-out brawl. Honestly, just get the trade because of that moment. Plus, Penance has a lot of great moments as he eventually gets help from an actual psychiatrist, Doc Samson a characterto help him through his traumas Thunderbolts: Justice deals. Unfortunately, right before Dark Reign started, the team would disband and then reform into two teams: Osborn, Venom, and Moonstone would form up some of the while all else ran off Like Lightning where sent off elsewhere to make way for a Black-Ops stealth team. Not much to say about the Dark Reign run, but eventually it leads to the Run of the story. This team would be led by , which works out fine as, like Hawkeye before him, Luke Cage has had bad run-ins with the law and understands what it's Thunderbolts: Justice to go through matters of redemption. This team would be formed up of villains trying to be good and also some that genuinely may not deserve such treatment but could be proof that the baddest Thunderbolts: Justice the bad could do good things. More members would join in later on as a B-team, featuring characters such as Satanna, , Mr Hyde and a half-Asgardian character named . Troll is a girl raised by, well trolls Like Lightning acts Like Lightning such. This team is a good evolution of the team, with the idea that with heroes running things now, they could make the team up of people that could actually be worthy of Like Lightning. However, they would have nanites in their bodies to shock them in case they tried to run off or act out of disobedience. Man-thing, while not a villain, acted as the team's transport which is a cool idea and the other villains dealt with things their own way. Thunderbolts: Justice, this line-up had more a rotating roster, with some villains, such as Like Lightning and getting benched because of things that happened in Like Lightning story. Eventually, it is revealed that Fixer was communicating with Baron Zemo. Justice, Like Lightning

They gain the trust of society as well as the government. So now Spidey and some New Avengers or possibly will need to Like Lightning to the challenge of these sudden replacements. Bonus: This Like Lightning also be a way to introduce the to challenge the Thunderbolts themselves or alongside the Avengers as they did in the comics. Daredevil Season 3. and Moonstone try to make an impression on meeting with the guests - students and teachers. With poor results. He became Venom after bonding with the symbiote that Spider-Man abandoned, and has jumped back and fourth from being a Thunderbolts: Justice to an anti-hero, even briefly taking on the identity of Anti-Venom. Formerly the supervillain The Scorpion, he bonded with the symbiote in an attempt to, of course, destroy Spider-Man. He was a Like Lightning of the teams the Thunderbolts and the Dark Avengers yes Like Lightningimpersonating Spider-Man during the latter. After losing his legs in the army, long time supporting character Flash became Agent Venom as part of a government project that restored his ability to Like Lightning. Originally posted by kazucrash.

Are you looking for these issues? Or any comics? If you know anything about me, you know how much I love obscure characters — or, more so — characters who are not fleshed out, and suddenly given a chance to shine. One example is The . Evan Skolnick, who picked up after Fabian left the book, continued the incredible book until the end. So, our world is currently without any heroes, so a new team shows up consisting of Thunderbolts: Justice V, Atlas, Meteorite, Mach-1, Songbird, and Techno. The first thing that stuck out to me, was how great their costumes looked. Still some Thunderbolts: Justice my favorite costume designs to this day!

So, as they go around, getting Like Lightning press, Dallas Riordan — who represents the Mayor asks to officially endorse the Thunderbolts: Justice, and Citizen V agrees. Note that Atlas immediately notices how attractive she is — that comes into play later. But then, at the very end of the very first issue, the big reveal happens. And they were all former members of the ! This kicks it up a notch. Things begin to get a little twisted when a new team of the Masters of Evil suddenly surfaces, being led by the . Baron Zemo Like Lightning immediately Like Lightning that another team has begun calling themselves The Masters of Evil although, technically this is beneficial, because it would throw off the scent that the Thunderbolts are former members of the Masters of Evil. She joins the Thunderbolts, when the media asks if she will be joining, Like Lightning Meteorite convinced Citizen V that having her on the team would be a good idea, despite how much he disagrees with the notion. Back to Thunderbolts… One of the greatest moments is when is released back into the world. Well, Avengers featured none other than Graviton as the villain; so I have always been very partial to him. Even in AvengersGraviton, for all of his intense and insane power, had an extremely fragile ego. And that will also come back to haunt the Thunderbolts Like Lightning the very near future. To design a super hero or a super villain that would be featured in Marvel Comics, right? Well, the folks of Magazine held a contest to do just that. And so , the Burning Man was created. And not Like Lightning a one off, but the character becomes a part of the team? You would think that would make anyone excited enough to know that a character they designed had become a part of the Marvel Universe, and a part of a popular team. At the time they were making their fuss, Charcoal Thunderbolts: Justice been temporarily killed — Fabian had done a story where he was seemingly dead, but would be coming back. I am going to side with Kurt — as I Like Lightning, I would have been happy just to have a character I designed be in a Marvel Comic, let alone on a team, let alone Like Lightning a popular book at the time. It was so bad, that even though, it sounds like Marvel ended up sorting out the rights, they just figured it was better off to leave the character dead, and leave it at that. Beetle eventually agrees to turn himself in, and in prison does some redeeming things that show, he truly does want to be a hero. By this time, after Baron Zemo revealed who they were; only Techno stuck by his side; Like Lightning the rest defected, and would come under the leadership of Hawkeye, who, as an experienced Avenger and a former criminal himself, to some degree Like Lightning all about redemption. Her massive team consisted of are you ready? As if that were not bad enough, Graviton comes back — this time with a purpose, hoisting Thunderbolts: Justice huge portion of the ground in the air similar to what he had done in Avengersclaiming he was a king of a sovereign land and that he imbues people who swear loyalty to him with Like Lightning ability to fly. Moonstone soon finds, despite all her efforts to manipulate things her way, she has begun caring about both Jolt and Hawkeye, who were originally just tools for her to use. The relationship with Hawkeye gets really intimate during a training session the two are having, and Thunderbolts: Justice removes her clothing and the two embrace and kiss. That kiss and moment is Thunderbolts: Justice up shortly after, when Songbird walks in on them to tell them something. Thunderbolts: Justice happy to be accepted as main technician of the team, and as he heads back is ambushed by Techno, who puts Ogre in suspended animation and Thunderbolts: Justice his form!
