@jakeproven256 Месяц назад

I admit it would've been cool to see destroyer, whizzer, thunderer, and such in Captain America The First Avenger, but I can imagine the reason they didn't have them, was because they wanted to keep the focus on Captain America. I mean when you try to throw in too many heroes into a movie that's suposed to be about the title characters it becomes a mess, case in point, Batman V Superman Dawn of S**T!

That 'Destroyer' mini-series from 2009 by Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker is one of my favorite comics of the last 20 years. I did'nt remember the Destroyer character when it came out, even though I have all those old Invaders comics from the 70's, so in a way, this was my introduction to the character. That was a fantastic story, great writing, and great art, as one would expect from the original team who brought us 'Invincible'.

@dennisroy6282 7 месяцев назад

The Destroyer (Keen Marlow) was one of Timely Comics' most popular and long-running superheroes, outlasting all the others except Captain America, Human Torch, and Sub-Mariner. Therefore I curse Roy Thomas for so cavalierly rebooting the character as a mere exercise in convoluting the story of Brian Falsworth (Union Jack II). He attempted to totally erase Keen Marlow from Marvel history, and then had Falsworth promptly cast the Destroyer identity aside, never to use it again. So thanks to Robert Kirkman for finally restoring the *real* Mighty Destroyer to Marvel Universe history in 2009. Keen Marlow lives!!

@LucasDarkGiygas 7 месяцев назад

Love the video and your content I kinda like the golden age, heroes and kind of sad they don’t get talked as much I mean in DC there’s a ton of golden age heroes that are so around, but in marvel, that’s kind of small the only golden age heroes that are still around in the modern day and Marvel Captain America Bucky, the original human torch, Turo, and Neymar I want to learn more about the golden age marvel heroes, so can you at least make a video about those heroes at some point? Also, you’re a good narrator

@truefanforum3273 7 месяцев назад

Kudos to you for untangling such a complicated history. I have a few of the Invaders and Thunderbolts comics Roger is in and he is a cool character. I am familiar with the Destroyer and I have always loved his costumes. His V-Battlaion costume is particularly cool.

An enjoyable video detailing the tangled history of The Destroyer. Personally, I would have liked a little publication background before the events of the canonical timeline. Destroyer, Citizen V & the V Battalion originated from the 1940's Timely comics, while The Invaders, the Crusaders and Union Jack were all created in the 1970's and retroactively added to Marvel canon. I might be wrong about Jack, though - I'm going off my memory rather than any actual research. Please don't yell if I'm wrong!

@Jamesalec63 7 месяцев назад

It was a belief that these or one of them was related to Drax The Destroyer they have identical apprentices and though Drax isn't earthbound his human origins are slightly similar and here's the connection is his human origin connected to one of as I recall Moondragon met Spitfire and released a connection, but connections aren't always relatable? There is something else about Destroyer it also looks similar to Mr Sinister is there a family connection with him? And there's another comic book character called Destructore? And what of a DC character also has a similar story and looks his origins were verbal to a god-like creation and used different names along the way? One other strange thing in his origins you forgot to mention the vampire link to Union Jack ( Destroyer acr) and the other is Jack The Ripper tie in Marvel history a theory is his great great father was connected to that case. The original Destroyer that is? Spitfire tale is far from finished she will forage a legacy with connection to many heroes across the marvel universe including a herald of Galactus, Nova who is family to her. And isn't there a future Spitfire in the 35 century who is a descendant of the original? The name Destroyer is connected to Asgardian lore and the family of this story are thought to hail from Asgardian and Arthurian mythology?

@seaslimeshanties4546 7 месяцев назад

While I can't explain everything I can explain Blazing Skull as I learned quite a bit about him while learning about ghost rider- Blazing skull was a golden age superhero who had the power to make his head a flaming skull, ghost rider meanwhile was created years later completely independently of the original hero, he is a spirit of vengeance a power which turns his head into a flaming skull, lots of people couldn't help but notice similarities between the two heroes (both have flaming skull heads and blazing skull occasionally rode a motorcycle) after some consideration marvel decided to officially retcon blazing skull as the previous spirit of vengeance before Johnny blaze (the ghost rider we're probably introduced to) Hope that makes sense I tried to abridge it a little
