5 Cool Facts About the Avengers 5 Cool Facts about The Avengers Mudabbir Ahmad Earth’s mightiest heroes come together for a second time on the big screen today with Avengers: Age of Ultron hitting cinemas. Early reviews have suggested that this Joss Whedon directed film manages to match, if not top the entertainment and fun that the first Avengers film provided. The film marks the end of Marvel’s Phase 3 for its movies, and from now on the Marvel films are set to take a very interesting turn as Antman, The Inhumans, Captain Marvel and Black Panther films line-up for release, besides Captain America: Civil War and the third Thor film ‘Ragnarok’. All these films are to set up the final two instalments of Avengers- Infinity War 1 and Infinity War 2, in or after which we may see an entirely new team of Avengers. Interesting, isn’t it? With the Avengers film releasing today, we bring you these 5 cool facts about the Avengers- 1. The first "Avengers" consisted of Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Ant-Man and Wasp. The issue came out in 1963. 2. The Wasp came up with the name ‘Avengers’. The Wasp thought that the ’Avengers" sounded "dramatic". It sure does! 3. The Prologue for 1970s The Avengers comic books is, "And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth's mightiest heroes and heroines found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, the Avengers were born—to fight the foes no single super hero could withstand! Through the years, their roster has prospered, changing many times, but their glory has never been denied! Heed the call, then—for now, the Avengers Assemble!" Once the film project had gotten underway, Chris Evans (Captain America) sent a text message to Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson) simply saying 'Assemble'. 4. The Avengers members may change from time to time. A total of 86 comic characters have been Avengers’ members till now. 5. Not many villains are powerful enough to make it difficult for a single superhero to fight them. And there have been very few of them that have made the Avengers assemble. These top villains are Loki, Kang the Conqueror, Ultron, Taskmaster, Grim Reaper and Enchantress..

  • Movie Review: ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’
    Movie Review: ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ NEW YORK — There’s plenty of humor and action in the fast-paced sci-fi adventure “Ant-Man and the Wasp” (Disney). What’s noticeably lacking is any exposition or guidance for those not already familiar with the characters and their relationships from 2015’s “Ant-Man” and 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War.” While the film can still be enjoyed on its own, newcomers will feel somewhat left out as a result. One example of the potential confusion awaiting novices is the fact that, when we first encounter him, Scott Lang aka Ant-Man (Paul Rudd, who also co-wrote the script) is approaching the end of a two-year sentence of house arrest. That’s the consequence, we learn, at least by implication, of his activities in the latter of the two previous movies. But specifics on what exactly he did are not shared. Whatever his wrongdoing, Scott — whose alter ego, thanks to a high-tech suit, can shrink or grow at will — is now anxious to focus on serving his time and raising his young daughter, Cassie (Abby Ryder Fortson). Scott’s good resolutions are undermined, however, when his predecessor as Ant- Man, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), and Pym’s daughter, Hope (Evangeline Lilly), aka the Wasp, draw him into their quest to rescue Hope’s mother, Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer), the original Wasp. Janet been stuck for decades in the Quantum Realm, a kind of subatomic limbo. To retrieve her, the trio will have to do battle with two principal enemies: Sonny Burch (Walton Goggins), a petty gangster out to profit from Pym’s technological breakthroughs, and Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), a victim of Pym’s past misdeeds.

Fearing the potential of the technology in the wrong hands, Pym hid his breakthrough from the world. But Darren Cross, his former protégé and successor at Pym Tech, has reverse-engineered a facsimile of the Pym Particle and is using it in his weaponized Yellowjacket armor. Hank has teamed with his estranged daughter Hope to devise a plan to steal back the tech, and their plan currently hinges on talented (but unlucky) former thief Scott Lang. Scott, wearing the “Ant-Man” suit to control the Pym Particle, has been sent on the fi rst phase of the mission to liberate a prototype signal device that will help them steal back the tech from Cross. But the prototype is kept at an old Stark storage facility—one that has recently been converted to the Avengers HQ!

  • Insect Sting Allergy – the Facts
    Insect sting allergy – the facts Anyone who is stung by a bee or wasp is likely to suffer a painful swelling at the site of the sting. For most people, the sting is not dangerous. Some people also experience an allergic reaction to the venom. For most of these people, the reaction is mild resulting in swelling at the site of the sting. But for a small minority, an allergic reaction to an insect sting can be systemic – that is, affecting parts of the body away from the site of the sting. Systemic reactions are sometimes severe and potentially life-threatening – this is known as anaphylaxis. If you are in that category, you may find the prospect of being stung very frightening, but be assured that there are steps you can take to reduce the risk to yourself. This involves getting medical advice, carrying prescribed medication at all times, and taking precautions to avoid being stung. Anyone can become allergic to an insect sting – not only people who already have allergies such as hayfever or food allergies. The first sting is not the one that causes the problem, but it may cause sensitisation – the stage at which the person becomes allergic. If sensitisation occurs, it is a later sting that will provoke the symptoms. Being stung by one type of insect will not make you allergic to the venom of another. This fact sheet aims to answer some of the questions you may have if your allergy to insect stings is systemic and severe. Our intention is to help you to minimise risks.
