Hey, heroes! I'm streaming on Twitch again this weekend! On Saturday I'm continuing Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance while on Sunday it's more of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom! www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite

@Hulkzilla0 11 месяцев назад

He's one of my favorite villains from Marvel. I especially enjoy when he battles Hulk.

@changvasejarik62 11 месяцев назад

I always liked the stories when he’s smart enough to achieve his full potential like when he touched a cosmic cube or ultron’s brain or even in secret wars when he figures out how to fix his arm. I don’t ever expect him to be as smart as Ironman or reed richards but I love his clever moments.

@michaelccopelandsr7120 11 месяцев назад

Speaking of Hulk, WE NEED A "MR. FIX-IT" MOVIE! The Grey Hulk, at night, in a suit! It fits perfectly into the blip years. When attempting to fix his arm, Banner unknowingly creates the Grey Hulk. He thinks he heals and cures himself. Except, at night, he turns into the suit wearing, JOE FIX-IT. Joe leaves Banner cryptic messages on the mirror. Heck, it's even a story Disney execs want. Have him fight whomever while having to deal with his "mental health." To win, he must meld Banner, Green Hulk and Grey Hulk into the Hulk he is now. It writes itself! GIVE US "MR. FIX-IT!" Pass it on, please and thank you!

I didn't know Crusher fought "Battlin'" Jack Murdock! Love how things connect in the Marvel Universe!

@luckysix1015 11 месяцев назад

I don’t think I realized just how powerful Absorbing Man actually is. I also like that we get to see him learning his powers, going from near certain death if he touched something not solid, too learning to control himself so thoroughly he’s willing to do it mid battle.

@Aureonw 4 месяца назад

Absorbing man is the type of guy with powers that literally on one second you are a normal person like any other and the other you touch a superrare/special/strong alloy of a supermetal and you can punch up with people like the Hulk and even win while being impervious to damage if it doesn't drain stamina to stay transformed and even if you get hurt its useless since you can just regen near immediately

@chiranjeevsaikia560 11 месяцев назад

Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes probably has the best iteration of his character outside of comics. They had him fight both Hulk and Thor. And in one instance he even absorbed the powers of Mjolnir

@fredthemithrilogre 11 месяцев назад

I actually like the idea of him and his wife trying to be good. But Marvel keeps making them lose and stay as villains

@shanelorrison5224 11 месяцев назад

Awesome! The absorbing man is one of my favorite Thor villains. I just very recently purchased a beautiful raw copy of Journey Into Mystery #114 (1st appearance of Absorbing Man). Jack Kirby was firing on all cylinders during this time.

@christopherulichney 11 месяцев назад

Another classic Marvel villain with deep roots throughout the Marvel Universe. I'm finding the later retcons about the childhoods and life before their first appearances to be my most favorite part of your videos. These attempts to humanise the villains more are stories I never read, so I'm glad you are flling me in on newer backstory. And sine you did a video on a human character empowered by Asgardian magic, how about a video on RED NORVELL, the red headed Thor stand in. As always MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

@michaelroque2662 11 месяцев назад

Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me realize just how weird the early marvel universe is. Creel starts off as some street punk turned boxer working for the mob, next thing you know he's in jail being cursed by The God Loki, fighting superheroes and being sent flying through space, and then trapped in other dimentions.

@ChrisDeger 11 месяцев назад

@@aaronjackson1493 Probably has something to do with the writers, my guess is they were more creative and artistic and coming from a time when men should be strong and assertive, maybe their parents were not the best to them... you know try and toughen up young boys and all. They then inject their trauma into the characters they make. But that's just my uneducated theory

@aaronjackson1493 11 месяцев назад

@@ChrisDeger Not uneducated at all, brother. That's most likely why. Because all whatever type dysfunction or trauma folks went through individually (and perhaps even the writers themselves were so numb to it. Who knows 🤷

@trexadvent4726 11 месяцев назад

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?

@jdp3578 11 месяцев назад

This character is so powerful, the writers have to come up with some bs just to stop him. Like changing how his absorption works mid fight. He can absorb what he touches, but he absorbs things at will, until someone makes him absorb something else? But he can turn his power off, until he cant..... Then he gets the power of a cosmic cube, but the heroes stop him because somehow his ball and chain, despite not being near him, took on what he absorbed, and also changed the BALL and chain into a cube, which somehow made the ball and chain able to stop him(despite the ball and chain being an extension of himself)

@amanzeihedioha 6 месяцев назад

You forgot one thing sir. Mista Crusher here is a rapist. Before he met his one "true love", the infamous elemental misfit had broken into a woman's house and brutalized her after escaping prison during his early days as Loki's toady toy. From that horrific experience, the poor woman found out that she was pregnant! Being a good person that she was, she raised the boy in a similar manner that Crusher's mother once did for him. But Creel would return. This time to do again what he did before to her! Her son, having heard all types of stories regarding his biological father, stood to defend his mother. It was during the fight that the boy discovered his own abilities to absorb properties, having inherited it from his father. The boy's name is Jerry Sledge. And I hope to see a video on Hickman's secret warriors one day.
