Elements Planet Hulk: Warzones! the storyline have been adapted into other media, including an animated film of the same nameas well as the live action film Thor: Ragnarok. The storyline's main writer Greg Pak describes the origin of the ideas: "The inspiration for sending Hulk to an alien planet Planet Hulk: Warzones! he'd battle monsters as a gladiator came from Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Planet Hulk: Warzones!. I loved the idea from the minute I heard it, so I was blown away when they told me I had the gig and even more blown away when they basically cut me loose to create the whole world. The story was re-examined in What If? When a Gamma bomb causes the Hulk to lose control and attack Las Vegas, [2] the Illuminati decide the Hulk is too dangerous to remain on Earth. They intended for him to land on a peaceful planet, but the shuttle passes through a wormhole on its way. As Hulk listens to a recording from the Illuminati explaining their actions, his shuttle crashes on the planet Sakaar. Weakened from the crash, Hulk is fixed with an obedience disk and taken into slavery. He is forced to fight gladiator battles for the planet's emperor, the Red King. Hulk becomes a popular hero for his actions in the arena, Planet Hulk: Warzones! a group of insurgents try to recruit the Hulk to their cause. During their next gladiator fight, Lavin Skee is killed.

As he leaves Sakaar, he offers to return Hulk Planet Hulk: Warzones! Earth. Hulk chooses to stay behind. As they travel through villages, Hulk finds followers who believe he is the foretold savior, "Sakaarson. Caiera finally confronts the Hulk, but their battle is interrupted by an invasion of "spikes" that cause monstrous mutations and death to anyone they touch. Caiera calls the Red King for assistance and learns that Planet Hulk: Warzones! ordered the spikes to be deployed there. Horrified at what her king has done, Caiera joins the Hulk. Hulk leads a raid on the Red King's capital, culminating in a one-on-one battle between the two of them. The Red King is defeated, and Hulk is named the new king. He takes Caiera for his wife, and the two are able to broker peace among the various conflicts which had festered under the Red King. Caiera becomes pregnant with Hulk's child. Meanwhile, the shuttle that brought Hulk to Planet Hulk: Warzones! is being turned into a monument. As part of its self-destruct sequence, the antimatter warp core engine detonates in a massive explosion. The whole city is Planet Hulk: Warzones!, and Caiera dies. Enraged and blaming the Avengers who built the shuttle for the damage, Hulk and his Warbound leave Sakaar and head for Earth. Sakaar rebuilds after the explosion with the help of Hulk's two surviving sons, Skaar and Hiro-Kala. The series has been collected into a number of individual volumes :. A special issue of What If? It follows a variation of Steve Rogers and a variation of Devil Dinosaur as they fight their way through the Battleworld domain of Greenland, a region filled with an assortment of Hulks. Planet Hulk: Warzones! an alternate Marvel Universe, Dr. Bruce Banner who has no alter ego owns a large technology business known as Bannertech. The headquarters is a city of the future where Amadeus Cho who works at Bannertechperforms unauthorized gamma experiments on animals. Banner and Amadeus are alerted by S. Bruce attempts to evacuate the city of the future whilst Amadeus tries to hijack Planet Hulk: Warzones! bomb. The bomb ultimately crashes into the Bannertech tower, destroying it and catching evacuating employees in its blast radius. Banner and his employees are turned green, but they are relieved that they are alive. Amadeus is not seen again. The employees and Dr. Banner suddenly mutate into various Hulk creatures. When the various Marvel universes collide, a section of this Earth including the inhabiting Hulks become the region of Battleworld known as Greenland. Sometime after the creation of Battleworld, Doctor Doom has his Thor Corps perform a mission for him. As they fly over the Mud Kingdom in Greenland, they are attacked by the Hulks who live there. The Hulks' primitive weapons anger the Thor Corps who stop the attack by destroying the Hulks' homes. The Thor Corps then leave as they were told to Planet Hulk: Warzones! battles, but not to interfere. Whilst being congratulated by Arcade, they attempt to interrogate him to find where Bucky Barnes currently is. Their attempt fails and Steve is summoned by God Emperor Doom. Steve must travel to Greenland, kill the Red Kingand rescue Bucky from him. Upon arrival, they are meant to meet with an operative. However, they are attacked by gamma-irradiated bugs. Steve and Devil Dinosaur are saved by a Hulk named Doc Green who fires a powerful laser cannon killing the bugs. Upon getting acquainted with the Captain and the Devil after they woke up, Doc Green agrees to become their guide in Greenland to help them navigate it and rescue Bucky Planet Hulk: Warzones! the Red King. During a flashback in an unknown kingdom, the Captain and Bucky are racing through the rubble in the streets of a war-torn city. A missile blows up the ground in front of Bucky. Steve digs Bucky out of the rubble. Steve picks up Bucky and starts to carry him to Planet Hulk: Warzones!. Bucky says that they need to get underground. Bucky then suggests that he and Steve enlist to fight. Steve comments that they are both beanpoles and have no business fighting. Steve says it is nothing but a pipe dream. Upon ending up in the Gamma Lake after escaping into the river and going over the waterfall, the Captain and Doc Green were attacked by a giant aquatic creature called a Sea Hulk that grabs the Captain with its tentacle. Doc Green then quotes "There you are. Come out and play. As Planet Hulk: Warzones! Green tried to get to the Captain, the Devil showed up and attacked the Sea Hulk, killing it by biting off part of its neck during the fight. The incident put them off Planet Hulk: Warzones!, leaving them with Planet Hulk: Warzones! choices: circle back around the Fang Mountains which would take three days or cut straight to the Mud Kingdom by going through the Barrens of the Tribal Hulks where the Tribal Hulks dwell. The Captain decided Planet Hulk: Warzones! go through the Barrens of the Tribal Hulk as it was the faster route. In their way through the Barrens, they saw a wall made of the skulls of the people who died in the civil war between the Planet Hulk: Warzones! Kingdom and the Tribal Hulks. Doc Green said that the gamma only revealed what's already Planet Hulk: Warzones! each living being: an obsession with war and violence. It was Planet Hulk: Warzones! reality everyone denied. He then began to mock the Captain by saying it would be no different with him if he got corrupted by gamma as he was already Planet Hulk: Warzones! God Emperor Doom's dirty work. But Captain said he wouldn't as he planned to find and free Bucky without killing the Red King. As a storm approached them, they took shelter inside a cave and were attacked and captured by the Tribal Hulks. After they got to the top of a structure, Doc Green pointed at the Red King's castle where Bucky was being held. Doc Green warned the Captain that it was not like the time when he and Bucky stole pies from grandma Hubbard. Surprised, the Captain asked him how he did know about that and who he was before he turned Planet Hulk: Warzones! a Hulk. Before Doc Green could answer, the Devil returned to help the Captain. With his help, the Captain invaded the castle and confronted the Red King. The Captain told him about his mission, but said that if he released Bucky, he would then spare his life. Planet Hulk: Warzones! then grabbed the severed bionic arm of Bucky and said that Bucky wasn't his prisoner, but his trophy. The Red King then tried to convince Rogers to join his army to take Planet Hulk: Warzones! Emperor Doom down, as he was the one responsible for Bucky's death; however, he was attacked and killed by Rogers instead. Doc Green showed up afterwards, congratulating the Captain for the completion of his mission. The Captain started to argue with him as he knew that Bucky was already dead and manipulated him into thinking otherwise in order to get the mission done, while Doc Green mocked him by having succumbed to the Hulk inside himself just like him. Rogers said he wasn't anything like Doc Green.

  • Captain America
    The Star-spangled Avenger Adapted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Captain America first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (Cover dated March 1941), from Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics, and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. For nearly all of the character's publication history, Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers , a frail young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that bears an American flag motif, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon. An intentionally patriotic creation who was often depicted fighting the Axis powers. Captain America was Timely Comics' most popular character during the wartime period. After the war ended, the character's popularity waned and he disappeared by the 1950s aside from an ill-fated revival in 1953. Captain America was reintroduced during the Silver Age of comics when he was revived from suspended animation by the superhero team the Avengers in The Avengers #4 (March 1964). Since then, Captain America has often led the team, as well as starring in his own series. Captain America was the first Marvel Comics character adapted into another medium with the release of the 1944 movie serial Captain America . Since then, the character has been featured in several other films and television series, including Chris Evans in 2011’s Captain America and The Avengers in 2012. The creation of Captain America In 1940, writer Joe Simon conceived the idea for Captain America and made a sketch of the character in costume.

Five StarsBy CustomerA very sweet story with very relatable characters.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Jonesy is a Cupid-like character who has the ability to make people fall in love with other peopleBy The Hermit LibrarianJonesy caught my eye because the color and the style reminded me so much of the television show Steven Universe. While as far as I know neither creator has nothing to do with the show, this book has its own humor and shine.Jonesy is a Cupid-like character who has the ability to make people fall in love with other people, things, ideas, etc. Some of these matches are much more successful than others. Many have consequences that force Jonesy to confront her view on the subject and figure out how to make things better or whether to meddle again when she has the potential to make things even worse. There's no indication yet where her powers come from, whether they're passed down from a family member or spontaneously bestowed upon her, but she's certainly making use of them since discovering them accidentally when shipping two characters on t.v.The weird thing about Jonesy is, even though she's described in the summary of the book as being a fan of anime and a devotee of grrrl bands and 1D, I didn't really get that from her in this book.

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).

    Chapter 13 Previously in The Black Vortex… Billions of years ago, an ancient race named the Viscardi were gifted an object of immense cosmic power by a Celestial. This artifact, known as the Black Vortex, transformed the user, imbuing them with cosmic energy. However, the power of this object caused the Viscardi to turn on each other, annihilating their own race from within. When J’Son, Peter Quill’s father, obtained the Black Vortex, Peter and Kitty Pryde stole the artifact and recruited the Guardians of the Galaxy and the X-Men for help. Some of the heroes submitted to the Black Vortex, gaining cosmic powers in an effort to save the galaxy from the hands of Mister Knife. Spartax has been encased in amber by the cosmically empowered Thane, son of Thanos. Knife intends to partner with the Brood in order to rebuild his galactic empire. The Brood would burrow into the amber, implanting eggs into the trapped citizens of Spartax. Should the eggs hatch, a massive new Brood armada, billions strong, would be born. With the threat posed by the Brood compounding their need to save Spartax, the group knew that one of them would have to submit to the Vortex to stop them. One who could resist the corruption often caused by the Vortex’s power.

  • American Dreamer Text.Pmd
    I. Archaeology of a Vision 1987. We come late upon the scene. A tremendous shape mushrooms up before us, as indifferent to our gaze as it is to its frozen surroundings. It’s as if something once happened here, some cosmic drama played upon this stage, and we are left only the quiet shell of that event. The forces once in play here seem to have played themselves out. We bundle our overcoats to us and huddle before yet another bitter blast of the Montréal winter wind. This thing, this bare Expo Dome, seems an alien form here. It stands out and it stands totally alone, somewhere – or when – it shouldn’t be. It is an American thing, out of place; unmoved by the deep Québec cold, by the iced-up St. Lawrence River, by the sharp-edged skyline of Montréal above and beyond the ice. The dome seems to hold its own like an architectural island on its own island, Ile St. Hélène, a shape that has kept its shape despite all the elements – fire, rain, snow, ice and wind – that time and disuse have hurled against it. We move closer to the strange thing, into its black lace shadow. We circle round, then duck under the protecting fence through a low furrow made by many ‘illegal’ visitors over the years. The tourists and architecture buffs, the Bucky Fuller freaks, the curious, the daring or the merely foolhardy, the teenaged beer drinkers and furtive lovers and grafitti artists; many have made this pilgrimage before us, too many leaving their rubbish.
