Aquaman : Unite The Seven

Arthur Curry better known as Aquaman was created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger  in November 1941.

During the period Known as the Silver age of comics he was The Founding Member for the Justice League of America  in the  1990's Modern Age  his character had gained a more serious tone then in most previous story lines depicting the weight of his role as King of Atlantis.

The 1960's animated appearance left a lasting impression basically  in popular culture Aquaman is a the but of every joke he was perceived  as weak a whack hero that talks to fish  which pushed DC make several attempts to make him a stronger more serious character in Modern Day comics.

 Aquaman is now looked upon as a serious and brooding character  with   a ill reputation with his people from Atlantis  as well as Struggling to find a true role and purpose as both a hero and King.   Now there are many different origin stories for Arthur we will start with his first origin from the Golden Age of comics.

It  Starts as a flashback narrated by Arthur he says " The Story must Start with my father he was a famous undersea explorer my mother died when I was a baby and he turned into his work to unlock the ocean's secrets. He made his greatest discovery it was an ancient City in the depth where no other diver has reached. My  Father believed it to be the lost  city of Atlantis and he made a water tight home in one of the palaces there. After some studying and recording  reading from books and records there he learned the ways of teaching me to live under ocean, drawing oxygen from the  water and using all the  power of the sea too make me strong".  

Now instead of going into the other ages and mini series Ill go it his " Rebirth" in The New 52 series and talk about his abilities and some feats lets have fun shall we?  in that series Arthur is the  half-human son of Tim curry and Atlanna.

Now his biggest event in the new 52 universe was Throne of Atlantis lets talk about that  one!  believing Atlantis to be under attack, New King Orm  Aquaman's brother declares war on the surface world.

A navy warship Pisses off the Atlantean's  after its missiles malfunction during a test  it hits  Atlantis big mistake to put it lightly King Orm aka ocean master goes off the wall.

Boston is under water San Diego is drowning so Aquaman actually sides with his Brother he even goes Against the League by himself (Think on that ).

They find the true mastermind behind the malfunction it was Aquaman's assistant really? but hey never underestimate the help just saying.

He was pissed because  arthur gave the throne up to be a hero for the surface and not his own people. so long story short Orm will not give the throne back  Aquaman in turn beats the breaks off his brothers ass reclaims his Trident and roars  I AM YOUR KING  all i  can say is it gave me a new found respect for him as character.

 I used to think Aquaman was a tool but once i read an saw his powers an read Throne of Atlantis lets talk powers and abilities of the king  his most widely recognized power was telepathy to communicate with marine life. Since he has adapted to living in the  depths of the ocean.

He can obviously breathe underwater  he has superhuman durability high enough to remain unaffected by the immense pressure and the cold temperature of the depths of ocean. He is invulnerable to machine gun fire  has super strength he can swim at very high speeds up to 3,000 meters per  second.

He can  swim up Niagara falls he can see in near total darkness and had enhanced hearing that works as a limited sonar. He can die from severe dehydration but he has adjusted to living in both worlds.

 But if this  does not convince that Aquaman is a bad ass he  knocked out superman he took on armies by himself (back up came later)  He took his own hand to save his own son then replaced it with a mechanical harpoon.  He Threw a polar bear at some hunters like a it was handball.

I have found a greater respect for  Aquaman  through his new 52  series he is a serious character that shouldn't be messed with.  Hopefully this may change some minds or give  him a shot

Doctor Strange

Doctor Stephen Strange  best known  under his alias Doctor Strange  created by Artist Steve Ditko he first appeared in Marvel's Strange tales  # 110 in July 1963.

He has one mission that he has dedicated himself too and that is to serve as the Sorcerer Supreme the primary protector  of earth against magical and mystical threats.


Now last night Jimmy Kimmel gave a look at the first teaser trailer for the live action film starring Benedict Cumberbatch  set to release  November 6th 2016  here it is if you missed it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt-U_t2pUHI    It is a origin story as you can tell but lets get into it.  Doctor Strange was a brilliant neurosurgeon but his  ego was  his biggest problem.  Money was his only concern not caring for his patients.  But things do happen for a reason a car accident  shatters the bones in his hands  causing nerve damage making them useless. He is  too arrogant to take on a teaching position Strange went in search of a cure from healers  legitimate or not.  After exhausting all his resource strange  is homeless and  performs shady "Back Alley" procedures for cash even with his trembling hands.   After hearing rumors about some one called the ancient  One  Strange Pawns the last of his  possessions  to get a ticket to the east to find the ancient ones Tibetan palace.

The old man refused to cure strange because he sensed  the selfish arrogant nature in Strange but also sensed a good side that he failed to bring out.   Shocked  Stephen witnesses a mystic attack on the ancient  One  Strange's good side does appear when he finds out  The Ancient one's Disciple Baron Mordo is trying to kill the old man.

Strange gets into a fight with Mordo it leads to him being restrained by magic  that stops him from fighting or warning the ancient one.  Strange has  a desperate and selfless change of heart he accepts the Ancients ones offer to become his apprentice to stop Mordo.

The old man knew of Mordo's intention and he and the Doctor become fierce enemies.  Strange is  then trained in  the mystic arts.

Once he completed his training Strange moves to a townhouse  in Greenwich village  called The Sanctum Sanctorum which is guarded by strange's personal servant Wong.

 A little bit on Wong he was born in to a whole blood line of monks task to serve the Ancient one he  was asked to serve strange who became Sorcerer Supreme after the Ancient one dies in 1973.  Wong functions as a chef,  house keeper , Martial Arts instructor  and Mystical Guardian.   Wong is athletic he does not have any super human abilities  he is a master Martial Artist unstoppable in hand to hand combat.

 Now he does not have any magical abilities of his own  but he is well aware of the  Dark arts since serving strange.  Wong has been able to hold his own against mystical forces and has aided strange in casting spells trust Wong is someone you do not want to threaten.

Back to the good Doctor who draws his Powers from Mystical entities  such as Agamotto, Cyttorak, Ikonn, Oshtur, Raggadorr and Watoomb they all lend their energies for spells.  Strange also wields mystical artifacts such as The Cloak of levitation which allows him to fly, The Eye of Agamotto whose light is used against all evil magic , The Book of the Vishanti which contains knowledge of White magic and then there is the Orb of Agamotto which works as a crystal ball.

 In addition to his magical abilities Doctor strange is trained in Several Martial arts disciplines and has shown skilled with magically conjured weapons such as swords and Axes.

Strange has traveled and fought in many dimensions he has fought the likes of doctor doom all the way to Galactus the devourer of Planets and has lived he is unmatched in the mystical part of the Marvel universe. Remember This is one of the men who helped sent hulk off planet then held up against him when he returned. He also saved silver surfer's life after and attack from the Mad titan Thanos with the infinity Gauntlet.

This is a man you want on your side and I have always enjoy that character he is my one of favorite heroes he fights until the end and has fought even in Death  I can say I am excited to That Marvel is bringing Magic into its Cinematic Universe an so Far the Doctor is in for business.

The Merc with the Mouth MOTION PICTURE AKA DeadPool The Movie (No Spoilers)


Hello fellow believers. I know it has been a minute since my last post but things happen for good reason and just know i have returned with my interesting point of views and ramblings. For today's post i've decided to touch on everyone's favorite Merc with the Mouth: Deadpool. It's been about a month or so since his movie debut in February (which in my eyes was AMAZING) but it didn't start off that way. That character took a huge hit in the beginning before becoming the great box office smash that you've seen today. First, lets talk about how he started. How it horribly began, with Deadpool's first appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.



X-Men Origins was released in 2009 with what should've been the greatest ensemble of mutants we have ever seen since X-Men 3. But just like X Men 3, it failed to capture the essence of his origins and was just an OVERALL train wreck. Me knit picking that movie will deviate from what this post is about which is DeadPool. DeadPool made his first cinematic debut in X Men Origins with the perfect actor playing him Ryan Reynolds. At first, i was giddy with excitement because Ryan had the charisma, the puns, and overall personality that was Deadpool. I thought FINALLY Fox had something right here, i was going to see greatness. Fox was probably reading my thoughts and just like that they sewn DeadPools mouth shut. That was probably one of the biggest mistake they did in that movie, outside of everything else. The one thing that made DeadPool......well DEADPOOL was his never ending barrage of jokes. That's like the equivalent of taking away Thor's hammer. For god sakes it's in his name "the Merc with the MOUTH". To put insult to injury they then made him this chimera mutant where they injected him with other mutant abilities. It was such a train wreck i literally left the movie theaters when they did this BS. I have been an avid comic book fan of DeadPool and i literally was devastated on what Fox did to this franchise. After a couple of years after that debacle, i thought it was the end of what would pretty much could have been an awesome opportunity for a Deadpool Franchise. My dream of an amazing DeadPool on the big screen pretty much died but then it happened, a test footage was leaked and all hell broke loose.
(If you haven't seen the original test footage here you go.)

This wonderful Vid was leaked at San Diego Comic con and the reception was well deserved on top of the video going viral. In a matter of hours the internet was buzzing for questions. Was this an actual movie that's going to happen? who is going to play DeadPool? Was it a continuation of the Wolverine origins? Is Fox going to screw this one up too? Then our prayers had been answered in the name of Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Reynolds and Fox studio confirmed that they will be making a stand alone DeadPool Movie and it had NOTHING to do with origins (one lone thug tear was shed).Of course i have to give credit to the numerous amount of Fans who petitioned and made soooooo much noise for this to be realized. I was happy and willing to go see this movie after many video promotions released. After taking my Girlfriend to see it for Valentines day (yes i did that and i stand by my decision) i thought it was amazing. Of course like any movie adaptation, it wasn't going to follow his origins to the letter. Which i'm ok with as long as it is done very well and sort of keeps the essence of the original story. Almost everything about DeadPool in the comics was portrayed in the movie quite well except for one or two things. Nothing too major but, hopefully they could correct it in a sequel movie. In my opinion, Ryan Reynolds was born to play DeadPool. He had all the mannerism that you would see in the comics from the barrage of jokes and crude humor to the 4th wall breaking (i was soooooooooo happy that they had 4th wall breaking in this movie).  This Movie redeemed DeadPool and many other opportunities and scenarios that could happen in the Marvel Cinematic universe. Hopefully, we may see DeadPool cross over in other movies and maybe, just maybe, a cameo in the infinity wars later down the road. For now time will tell and we can only wish for the best. so, if you haven't seen the movie i'm going to need you to go and see it. Like now.........like right now..........why are you still reading this.......GO

Batman V Superman Dawn of justice Review #1 (spoiler free)

OK so before I start this I have had time to think a lot about what I saw and putting together in my head. Remember this is my opinion people can agree or disagree with me that's fine. I honestly believe that people are still so deeply stuck in the Marvel movie kool aid that they expect every opposing movie to match it but no out do it or that fan have become way too critical in their analyst of film and certain things in them. Batman V Superman dawn of justice is not Perfect it has flaws all films do but I realize that if your not one of the comic faithful like myself it wont appeal most people look for a few things and honestly if you want to critique or bash anyone its Warner bros not Snyder. He had an idea the studio told him to start cutting there is a rule in Hollywood when it comes to scripts a page is equal to 1 minute of run time of film you cant exceed 120 pages which equals 2 hours but is also why the Ultimate cut for the movie will not only be Rated R it will be and hour longer. I personally loved that film plot holes multiple themes and all. I saw the direction he was aiming for while appealing to many of the comic fans requests and complaint multiple themes story lines to me means multiple possibilities and opportunities. I went in to the theater as a hardcore comic guru I am but I did not judge as other have I was happy that one of my dreams since I was 5 years old I finally got to see on the big screen The Holy trinity 77 years between all three never have they all been on screen but people hate the story or the pacing of film I loved all the cameos and the 20+ references that I saw. In terms of the actors I have no complaints I said it for months and years Ben Affleck would crush his role He is our Batman I never went in comparing him to christian Bale or comparing this with The Dark Knight trilogy Gal Gadot was Wonder woman she has it down to the damn lasso. Now on to one of the most hated actors then next the second most hated aspect of the film if you saw the trailer you know doomsday pops up. Jesse Eisenberg as Alexander "Lex" Luthor Jr. Many people did not enjoy his performance because some do not personally like him as actor to begin with. This is Lex First starting out he has not grown into the man people wanted or expect but I thought he was perfect you got to see the madness,insecurity and inferiority complex he has especially when superman was around. He was spot on and later ill get into why in the spoiler post. Henry Cavil again nice job no real complaints hes more comfortable as superman now the fight between the two well done. A lot of people talk about how horrible doomsday looked he is not a fairy princess guys he is a ugly son of a bitch that gets stronger an changes each time he is hit. The only thing that kind of bothered me was he has no pants on I'm just saying but looking at how he appeared its fine. I say this see the movie for yourself nothing is perfect step off the haterade and forget the critics Lets remember why we go to movies an as comic fans why we love superhero films to be entertain to escape reality for a second stop nit picking. Overall It was an awesome film I will be pre ordering my copy of the ultimate cut out on July 16th and I'm sticking to how I feel about the film thought it was damn good and may see it a Third time. But to eachs own if you did not enjoy it

Mr. Freeze : A Cold Cold Heart


DR. Victor Fries Created by Bob Kane, David Wood and Sheldon Moldoff he first appeared in Batman #121 in February 1959 he was originally known as Mr.Zero so glad that was changed. Writer Paul Dini revamped and introduced the one and only true origin of Mr. Freeze victor Fries was a former Cyrogenics expert who suffers a great deal first his Wife Nora grows terminally ill. Fries furiously searches for a cure for her disease he decides too put her in Cryo-stasis to keep her alive until he finds one. Things do go horribly wrong his former Boss Ferris Boyle sabotages an interrupts the experiment which results in an explosion fries survives but is no longer the man he once was. Fries body goes through changes he can only survive in subzero temperatures if he over heats he can suffer from a heat stroke. He now wears a refrigerated exo skeletal suit that amplifies his strength. Most of Batman's villains are insane criminals Freeze is not a criminal nor is he insane. Freeze is not a saint either the world could freeze in nuclear winter killing billions all that matters to the good doctor is Nora. see I think the reason that people like Mr.freeze is because you actually feel bad for him and sympathize with him even though you know there is logic to what he is doing. Its dead wrong you root for him and even Batman shed a few tears for him. Victor himself has stated that emotions have been frozen dead inside of him all but the love for his wife. When he is in that suit the man does become cold he can be a real monster I cant really say if freeze is immortal but he does tend to survive many situations and has come back in many series it even got to the point he was just a head that attached to his suit. The last time we really saw our Animated Mr. Freeze was the in the Film SubZero which was a very underrated but also a dark film that shows how far he is willing to go for his family. Now im not going to harp on the mister freeze in the batman and robin fiasco he was puntastic that is all I will say. In closing I really think we need to see more of Freeze in the current series he has been in some new 52 stories not really a series of his own which I think he deserves more then any other villain.

Second chances do not come often but when they do most people may jump at the same goes for revenge. What you experienced a great injustice your life was ripped from you. A man who calls himself agent Graves and no he is not a cop but a bad ass dude indeed . He goes to a person who has been wrong in one way or the other he comes to them with a attache case full of documentation that can clear up their horrible situation. There also happens be a gun in the case with one hundred rounds of ammunition that is untraceable. Now the good part you use this information and the weapon no law enforcement agency can stop you Sounds good right?. There will always be problems point blank. what can say about this story beside the fact that if the movie with Tom Hardy is still I will see it in a heart beat. This Story is Raw the art is gritty an dirty the dialogue is real urban and close to home. This is not a crime story for kids there are a lot of hidden topics stereotypes racism it deals with corruption the Drug trade gangs gambling even pedophilia as well as the violence. This is only book one and it has issues 1-19 and I am hooked! I want to know more about Agent Graves and who he works an why he does this? is it his form of revenge was he given a second chance? But All I know is so Far so good I'm looking forward to the Next 4 books to see where this is going. If you love crime stories pick this up as soon as you can. I Give one hundred Bullets Book One a Solid 10/10.
