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.

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider, an interesting figure! Today we'll be talking about this hero, not only because he's interesting but we'll be seeing a lot more of him if we look at the teaser that Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has released (see below). This is a big thing, we've seen a few spin-off series on netflix but ABC studios has only published agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and agent Carter so far. This could be the first real super hero spin-off series produced by ABC.

Old Man Logan

Marvel has introduced a ton of new comic stories. A lot new and original concepts are bound to come along. They've put a 'All New Avengers' issues on the calendar also a second civil war, which is a big deal and something i'm personally very excited about. There will also come a sequel to the 'old man logan' series.

I've read the first volume (8 issues) of this story and I think it's a real 'must read' if you're looking for something different from the classic stories. Everybody who has already read the first volume will agree it isn't a soft or happy story line. It takes place in a dark world where heroes are almost extinct and the world leaders are all known villains.

Storm

In this post we'll be giving you a little inside info about Storm also known as Ororo Monroe.
Every few post we'll be speaking about a specific character. You might think you know most marvel characters judging by the movies and some comicbook appearances, but a lot of heroes have a really cool and interesting origin story.

Ororo is actually a descendant from a very wealthy and ancient line of African priestesses. Her mom was a princess and her dad was a American photojournalist. When they lived in Egypt a plane crashed on their house in a Arab-Israeli conflict. Both her parents died but the little girl survived. This incident is the reason why Storm is claustrophobia.

Nightcrawler

Today I'll be giving a little background on Nightcrawler. This mutant has appeared twice in Marvel movies (X-men 2 and X-men Apocalypse). Both adaptions painted a good physical picture about the character. He's hard not to notice with his blue skin and devil's tail but his family history was never brought up in the movies.

Nightcrawler was raised by Margali Szardos. Margali was gypsy sorceress traveling with a circus. She always claimed that she found Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) in a ditch next to his dead father but this was just a lie to keep the boy safe. The truth is that Nightcrawlers real mom is Mystique also known as Raven Darkholme and his father is the notorious warlord called Azazel.

When Mystique had Nightcrawler she heard that a mob found out about the kid. Afraid for her own and the kid's fait and not being able to take responsibility for her child she throws him in a well. Azazel being the father was not able to let go of the child zo he saved the boy from his fall in secret and gave the baby to his mistress Margali.

Nightcrawler is blue like his mother but has a tail and the mutant powers of his dad. His powers are teleportation, superhuman agility and reflexes, night vision and being able to blend into shadows. His skin color and tail were things he had since birth but his abilities only emerged when he was a teenager.

The Inhumans

When the Kree race first discovered life on planet earth they found nothing more than primitive homo sapiens. Humans were then harmless creatures but the Kree saw potential in them. They started to experiment and this is how eventually the inhuman race was created. After a while the Kree abandoned their experiments for reasons that are yet unknown.

The alien DNA lived on and the inhumans created a society of their own. They all had incredible powers and lived in seclusion from the other humans. In time they developed supreme technology way ahead of what the normal humans had discovered so far.

The secret society didn't last very long since the inhumans interacted with several earth super heroes. The Fantastic Four, The Avengers and The X-Men got all had help from the Inhumans throughout the years.
