Who is 'Black Panther?'

Can you tell who this Marvel Character is?

What about if we give you"marvel-us" people a couple hints?

  • Hails from the African-kingdom of Wakanda
  • Taught by his father T'Chaka always said to stay two steps ahead of enemies and three steps behind friends.
  • Saw the world's super-beings a "threat" to his homeland
  • Marries one of the original "X-Men" 


THAT'S RIGHT!  IT'S T'CHALLA, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS,......

BLACK PANTHER




With Phase 3 announced for Marvels' cinematic universe, this leaves the public very excited, but nervous for the many films to come.  Questions have arisen such as, "Will Marvel be able to entertain audiences with films such as Ant-Man or another Incredible Hulk Movie?"  The new announcements include Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Inhumans, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther.  The directors and film-makers were able to captivate movie-goers' with the mainstream hero movies,... but will this trend further increase or maintain?  Or will Marvel see a decrease in the number of viewers who go to these movies that are about heroes not as widely advertised or commonly-known like Captain America, or Ironman.  Will people really want to go see Captain Marvel? (July 6, 2018).  This is something that troubles me, I worry that not enough of these movie-goers will continue to buy into this fictional world where super-beings save the day.  

Will I continue to go see these movies as they unfold?             Bet on That!

If your not familiar with the origin of the Black Panther, check out this cool youtube video!



One cool thing to keep in mind about T'Challa is that he was the first mainstream black-superhero that was introduced. as well as a chief of a hidden tribe that is located somewhere in Africa.  This homeland Wakanda is important and relative to the Avengers from in the United States because this country sits atop of the largest vibranium depository in the world.  


You guys' remember what vibranium is right?!


  • Captain America's shield was composed of vibranium!



It is exciting to see that Chadwick Boseman will be playing the role of T'Challa when the Black Panther movie hits the screen November 3, 2018.  This is a long time off, but these motion pictures take so much preparation and planning that the public almost needs this much time to let the hype build up!  Check out the following tables for a better breakdown of Phase 2,                                                                        and Phase 3 for Marvel.





Fun Fact!  Can you guys' guess which other Marvel character is from Wakanda?!

  • Storm!!!!!! (X-Men)

Steve Rogers....aka.....CAPTAIN AMERICA

Why does Cap' have what it takes?

Our viewer's reached out to us, expressing interest for Captain America to take the crown for this week.  There has been a lot of buzz lately surrounding the next Captain America Movie, which is presumed to follow the comic book "Civil War." (Captain America #22-24).

Steve Rogers was born a less-than ordinary boy on the lower east side of Manhattan, a child to poor Irish immigrants.  Fast forward fifteen years and Rogers' is a tall, scrawny fine-arts student.  Amidst the heat from the Third-Reich, Steve attempts to enlist in the military.  But after being turned down on multiple occasions for his frail body, fate his it that he would be a test subject for a new super-soldier serum created by "Dr. Josef Reinstein."  The serum is a success and transforms Steve Rogers into a nearly perfect human being with peak strength, agility, stamina, and intelligence.  But what makes Captain America so crucial, is that Steve Rogers is a pure-hearted passionate citizen, who feels as though with his abilities he has to "stand-up," for those who cannot themselves.  


 Click above for a scene from Marvels' "Captain America:  The First Avenger"  This movie will explain things a little bit more on why Steve was the man!

Captain America is known for his sassy one-liners' before diving into a situation where death could easily be a probable outcome.  Which lines are your favorite?

  • "If they're shooting at you, they're bad!."
  • "The hell I can't! [Give Orders], I'm a Captain!"
  • Do you have plans tonight?- "Well all the guys' from my barbershop quartet are dead,....so no."
Check out this tumblir account for a really cool breakdown with video memes!


Where does Captain America fit into the Avengers?

Steve Rogers is very important to the so-called "Avengers Initiative."  After being thawed from his many-year slumber, Steve Rogers brings an "old-school," hands on approach to the table.  He quickly steps into a leadership role, being the Captain, and his communication skills are crucial to the Avengers' saving the world. Captain is the hero who always sets the base-plan prior to jumping into action.  



So, to conclude this weeks announcement!


There are several reasons why our viewers should take a closer look at Captain America, the first being that he is good for the sake of good.  With how cluttered the culture and society has increasingly become, everyone can take a note on this measure from ol' Steve Rogers.  In the opinion of our staff, Captain America stands alone as the super-hero with the strongest attachment to a large segment of people.  Being older than Marvel itself, this icon has stood as a patriotic symbol to the United States for over 60 years.  Although comic-book sales have risen and declined over this time period, Captain America has never left the minds of the American people.  Everyone can all take a lesson from the first Avenger about constant self-improvement, and always looking to better ourselves.




Next Week, we take a look at Phase 2 of Marvel's Cinematic Universe!

"Marvel-Us" Character of the Week

Who is our "Marvel-Us" 

Character of the week?

Every week we are aiming to please the wishes of our viewers, all fans of Marvel are welcome and encouraged to post content and message “Marvel-Us” with their input on who deserves the temporary moment under the microscope!  After an interval of deliberation, our staff will select the winner of the week

"An award by the fans, for the fiction!"

Hints for this week's winner?
  • Genius-Level Intellect
  • Supersonic flight at Mach-3
  • Highly proficient scientist, engineer, and business person



If you didn't know,......Now you know Tony Stark.



What makes Ironman so powerful and worthy of this title?

The man behind the mask, Tony Stark, is a billionaire playboy, industrialist, and ingenious engineer.  All of these things are benefits, but when Tony is captured in the middle-east where his captors want him to create a weapon of mass destruction, his true wit is put to the test.  Tony originally designed the Mach-1 suit in order for him to escape the compound where he was being held prisoner.  It was this eye-opening experience that caused Tony Stark to realize the morality of society, and led him to understanding that from a combination of his past/present, he has the power and potential to actually make a difference.  Thus Ironman finds his origin!    



A suit for everyday of the week!


Although everyone loves the billionaire playboy, the real power of Ironman comes from the power of his suit.  Through the access of Stark industries, Tony is able to update his “Ironman suit,” with weapons and other technological devices.  My personal favorite is the “MK-7.”  This highly-advanced prosthesis has the capability of immediate wire-less assembly providing that the user has the appropriate bracelets around his wrists for the rest of the suit to locate using Stark technology.  This particularly came in well for when we saw Ironman fall from the window at Stark-Tower, if not for the MK-7 Ironman would have been an iron-omelet.  

Which is your favorite suit?


Check out this video from 'www.watchmojo.com,' the following link will lead you to the YouTube video!

This video shows us Iron mans' Top 10 suits starting from the very first!



Tony Stark is famous for his rhetoric, but what are some of his most popular lines/quotes

  • ·         “Please, no gang signs.”
  • ·         “Give me a scotch.  I’m starving.”
  • ·         “I’ve successfully privatized world-peace.”
  • ·         “It’s not a weapon.  It’s more of a highly advanced prosthesis.”
  • ·         “Mr. Stark displays textbook narcissism …Agreed.”


But for more in-depth quotes from this character check out the following link from IMBD, these are the quotes that are funny but are set up over time through conversation where we see the narcissism and youthful Stark show his sense of humor even in the most troubling times.

This Link!


One thing that is so crucial to Tony Stark is his personality, at all times throughout the comics and in the movies, he always has something to say.  Even when facing death, Ironman will have one last word to put in.  It’s always nice to take a look at the winner of the “Marvel-US” weekly award and analyze how we can better ourselves by looking at these fictional characters.  There are a couple key things that audiences must remember when thinking of Ironman.  The first key is to remember that smart kids or those who are considered “nerdy,” can strive to be billionaire playboy philanthropists.  But also even those who have everything, can still have nothing at the same time.  The final thing to take away from this fictional character is that those with resources and ability to help others, should take it upon themselves to do what they can to personally contribute to a better world.  


Thank you to the “guild of viewers,” that keep our blog up-to-date, all emails regarding this upcoming weeks’ winner can be sent to payne1william2@gmail.com!  We appreciate all feedback, and remember………
