Hellcat

Today's post will be about Hellcat. At first you might think 'doesn't ring a bell' but you might just recognize her name 'Patricia Walker'. Patricia is one of the main characters in the populair Jessica Jones series on Netflix! So far she hasn't become Hellcat in the series but she might in the future. Maybe Netflix used the name as a card they could play later in the series, we can only guess! What we can tell you, is what we know from the comic books about Hellcat.

The comic's start off a lot like how Patricia starts off in the Jessica Jones series. She has an abusive mother who wants Patricia to grow up being a supermodel. Her mother's greatest succes was a comic book which she made about 'Patsy Walker'. The comics were based on Patricia's life and friends. Patricia's mother gave her the creeps since she became obsessed with her private life. After more than a decade the Patsy Walker franchise came to a end.
Later Patricia married a childhood friend 'Robert Baxter' who was an officer in the air force. She moved around a lot for his job.

Edwin Jarvis

Today’s post will be about Jarvis. Most of you will know him as the voice of Iron Man’s house and suit. In the movies he is brought forth as an artificial intelligence. If you’ve read the comics or watched the "agent Carter" series however you’ll k.now he’s a real life butler! 

Edwin Jarvis is a main support character in Iron Man, the Avengers and Spiderman storylines He always plays the part of loyal butler to the Stark family. He was around in Howard’s time but still serves young master Tony in the present. 
You’d think he’s just an old man in the background of the story but that’s not true! Jarvis was a trained soldier in the US Air Force and had a military combat training in his younger years by no one else but Captain America. He also once won a American boxing championship. 
In the present day he’s old but in good shape, he does however struggle with injuries form the past in fights against Mr Hyde, and other villains who threaten the Stark Household.

The Iron Fist


As promised we'll be posting about the Iron Fist today. Not only is he yet again a fascinating character but he will also get his own Netflix series. You might have heard about this but after they've made his adaption there also will be a team up with Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Daredevil which will be the first known super hero team up in a Marvel TV series. 

Daniel Rand is the son of Wendell Rand. His dad had an interest in the city K'un-Lun, which is an ancient city in the Himalayas that is founded by an alien race. The city was ruled by aliens called the Dragon Kings and they were subjects to their supreme ruler, the godlike Master Khan. Daniels father once saved one of the rulers of the city called Lord Tuan. The master was so thankful that he adopted Wendell and made him heir to the throne. The true son of Lord Tuan called Yu-Ti wasn't happy about this. Rand married his first wife Shakari and had a daughter called Miranda. Later on he was attacked by the jealous son Yu-Ti and his wife was killed. Filled with grief Wendell returned to civilization and lived a normal life where he later married Heather Ducan and fathered Daniel. Meanwhile in K'un-Lun Lord Tuan died and his son Yu-Ti became ruler.

Luke Cage

As you may have seen we posted the official trailer of the Netflix series about Luke Cage on Facebook. I can't stress enough how good the Netflix adaptions are up until now, so be sure to watch them! Luke Cage has no history on the big screen and you can only see him a few times in the Jessica Jones series so here's a little side info about the guy.

Carl Lucas was born in Harlem. He was a troubled kid and ended up in the 'blood' street gang at early age. He helped the gang and his best buddy Willis Stryker in their fight against the 'diablo' gang and lived a pretty sinful life. Lucas went in and out of Juvenile homes until one day he realizes how much he's actually hurting his family with his lifestyle. He grows up and tries to have better life while his old friend Stryker rises in the ranks of crime lords.

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.
