Mantis

The last trailer of GOTG vol2 gave away that Mantis will play a role in the movie, maybe even as a guardian herself. Since this mysterious character will take a appearance in the new movie and we always like to give you guy's a head's up, here's a little something about her origins.

Mantis is the daughter of Gustav Brandt and Lua Nguyen. When she was still young she was chosen to become an alien priest of Pama, a secret sect of the Kree. She gained the name Mantis by being far out the best material artist the priests had ever seen. Later the priests enhanced her, giving her mind control powers.

When she turned eighteen the priests wiped her memory and send her to earth. The priests believed that she could turn out to be the 'celestial madonna', a supreme being they were awaiting. In order to transform in this being she first had to experience a normal human life.
Didn't turn out as classy as you'd imagine since she became a prostitute in Vietnam. Didn't take her very long to find her way out of that business and later she joined the avengers.

During her time with the Avengers she fought bravely along them. She later helps the defenders and Doctor Strange to fight mighty foes like Loki and Dormammu.

What's more interesting however is that she fights alongside Drax the destroyer in the war against Thanos. This might happen in the future MCU films. An other fun fact is that she had a thing for the vision which caused a lot of heated arguments between her and Scarlett witch.
This is something Marvel could also easily use in the movies to come.

Later her story goes further as her being the celestial Madonna.
By reading this post you at least know how she started an what Marvel might use in the future movies. I for one am curious about her in GOTG vol2!

SWORD

Hey guy's, a lot of Marvel fuzz the last few days. Disney send out a shitload of stuff to talk about, the Spiderman Homecoming trailer, the Guardians of the galaxy vol 2 trailer and also a great deal of new photo's and info on the upcoming movies.
We wrote about it as much as we could and tried to share as much info as possible, thank you for reading it!

Now that the dust has settled we'd like to take the time to talk about SWORD. Something tells me they'll be appearing in the movies soon with al the extraterrestrial action lately.
We all know SHIELD by now. Not only was Marvel able to integrate this organization in almost every MCU film so far, they got there own series as wel! (Agents of SHIELD).

SWORD started out as a sub division of SHIELD and were specialized in extraterrestrial threats. The two worked tight for a long time until the departure of Nick Fury as director. The relations of the two organizations are known to be blurred after his leave.

The director of SWORD is special agent Abigail Brand. They primarily operate from their main hideout which is a space station called 'the peak'. Luckily this one is not known for crashing in the sea every other chapter of it's story like the helicarrier. In the series 'The Avengers: earths mightiest heroes' the main base of SWORD is 'the Damoclies' which is the captured alien space ship of Kang the conqueror.

So basically SWORD is like SHIELD, only difference is that shield deals with earth problems and sword with space ones.
With a new guardians of the galaxy and Thanos coming up we hope the introduce this as well. Erik Salvig refered to sword once in the alternate ending of Thor.

Yondu!

Guy's today marvel released a first sneak peek of 'guardians of the galaxy vol 2'. If you haven't seen it yet, hurry to our Facebook page (click here). Since most of us got surprised by this sudden release we've decided to make today's post about one of the new guardians.
That's right, there are two confirmed new guardians in this movie. Both of them had a side role in the previous movie but are ready to step up, we're talking about Yondu and Nebula. Nebula will be our subject a differente time, today will be all about Yondu!

Born on Zataon young Yondu grew up to be a hunter. The tribes who lived there were primal compared to earths further evolved humans. When earth started colonizing planet's outside their own, the solar system Zataon was one of the first planets on the radar. Most of the inhabitants were intimidated by earths supreme technology, they didn't pick a fight and had peaceful relationships with the settlers. Yondu's tribe however, sought sanctuary in the forests so they didn't need to contact the earthlings.

One day the planet was under attack by the Badoon. During the chaos Yondu came across an earthling and the two banded together in the hopes of escaping the planet. It didn't work out the way they planned since the Badoon captured them and held them prisoners.
Later Yondu and his human friend Astor escaped together with Charlie-27 and Martinex and the four of them founded the very first Guardians of the galaxy!

This is the origin story of Yondu in the comics, and it is only one version of him. In other universes he might really band up with Starlord. I wanted to share this one today so you guys could learn that Yondu was much more than a bounty hunter in one of the universes.

Rocket and Groot!

This post we’ll be talking about the duo Rocket Raccoon and Groot!

Let’s start off with Groot. We all know the adorable and kind tree-like giant from guardians of the galaxy but where did he come from? His home planet is planet X and the official name of his race is the Flora Colossus. On his planet they were the superieur race and every one of them was to be served by a maintenance mammal.
Other Flora colossus threaded these mammal’s as filth but Groot had a kind heart, he preferred the mammal’s over his own kind and one day when an other Flora colossus attacked his mammal Groot killed his congener in defense of the mammal. After this Groot got banished from his planet and starts to travel throughout the universe.

Starlord's daddy issues

Today we'll be writing about Starlord's dad. The whole first guardians of the galaxy movie they kind of keep his identity a secret. All we really know is that Starlord himself isn't fully human and the description his mom makes in the beginning of the movie is also kind of vague ('he was an angel made out of light').

In the animated series Peter Quill's father is J'son (Jason of Spartax). Back when there was a war between the Spartoi and the Ariguans J'son was forced to crash land on earth where he met Meredith Quill. He fell in love with her and they had a short relationship but because of the war he had to leave her soon. Trying to spare her the pain of his departure he erases her memory not knowing she is with child.

The original Guardians of the Galaxy

We all know Starlord and his crew from the MCU adaption of guardians of the galaxy. A lot of people (including myself) had some serious doubts about how this would turn out. It's a very different storyline than the other superhero movies and the whole thing leans more in the sci-fi genre than the superhero genre.
Disney did their magic and as usual they nailed it! I enjoyed the movie a lot and so did most people according to it's 8.1 rating on IMDb.

One of the things I did remember from the time before the movie came out was that I tried to do some research on the storyline but found a complete different story with all different characters. I found out there were other guardians of the galaxy and Starlord's crew is only one of the most resent ones.
In this post i'll be talking about the original guardians.
