Origan of the corrupt symbiotes like Venom

I while back we made a post about venom, a villain who faces Spiderman from time to time. Now I wanted to share where the symbiotes came from.

It all starts with an even more dangerous villian Thanos, at a time he visited a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy inhabited with a peaceful race of symbiotes called the Klyntar. The alien symbiotes lived in symbiosis with the other life forms on their home planet. They endeavored to create an intergalactic peacekeeping society by using the symbiosis they need to subsist in order to transform worthy hosts into the ultimate noble warriors, the Agents of the Cosmos. However, to achieve this perfect symbiosis, the host must have a perfect blend of moral and physical ideals. If not, the resulting symbiosis would corrupt both the Klyntar and its host. Symbiotes are fully aware and sentient creatures, but when corrupted they are vicious and wild, compelling their hosts to violence and corrupting them.

Now to continue the story,

Black Bolt

Since the first images of The Inhumans franchise have been released I thought it wouldn't be the worst idea to paint a little picture about their king who goes by the alias 'Black Bolt'.

Eversince he was a baby Black Bolt was able to manipulate sound. Since he was so small his father locked him away in a silent room where he learned his son to control his powers. When he was old and strong enough to be welcomed back into the Inhuman society Black Bolt vowed to never speak again.

Soon Black Bolt learned about his brother Maximus who was making deals with the Kree. Black Bolt in his curiosity tried to stop a Kree ship that was leaving from a meeting with Maximus but instead he crashed the ship killing a few innocent inhumans amongst which his parents.

Since that day he wore the crown of the Inhuman society and ruled them fair. Even though the Inhumans wished to live in secret Black Bolt appeared in some other superhero stories mostly as a unexpected helping hand.

During the civil war he stayed neutral not picking Tony nor Captain's side.

Apocalypse

We've already reviewed the movie 'X-men Apocalypse' where I stated that I believe they killed him off way to easily since he's only one of the biggest badass bad guy Marvel knows. The next movie is rumored toe be called 'X-men the dark phoenix' which could very well be true since they gave us a glimpse of the phoenix in the Apocalypse franchise.

Born nearly 5000 years ago in ancient Egypt, Apocalypse is one of the earliest known mutant humans. As "En Sabah Nur" or "the first one" he traveled the world for thousands of years, creating wars to test which nations were strongest, he was worshipped as a god.
In the 20th  century he decided -you guessed it- that mutants were superior to humans and he believes it's but a matter of time before humans will extinct. He's more than willing to help nature a hand in that matter.

This is how he often battled the X-men and X-factor, who were dedicated to peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants.
Through his extreme long life his body eventually wears out and since that day he travels from one host body to an other from time to time.
In the comic 'Age of Apocalypse' he's able to conquer North America and enslave the whole human population before Magneto kills him.

A bit more spectacular than the teenager team-up against him in the last movie I would say. I believe it's hard to introduce and defeat such major bad guy's in one movie, so my expectations are high for the two parts franchise of the avengers agains Thanos!

Leader

Today I'll tell you a little something about Leader. A well known villain in the Marvel comics and he's hidden in a Easter egg in the Incredible Hulk franchise (get it? easter..).

Samuel Stern dropped out of school and started working in a US government research facility. During the job an accident accused during work and he got bombarded by intense gamma radiation. Because of this accident Stern gained an insatiable thirst for knowledge.
As his intelligence expanded so did his brain. Sadly his increased intellectual capacity was not matched by emotional maturity. He hated government corruption and thought it was his job to rule the human race, hence his codename Leader.

Over the years he did many efforts to actually become the world leader without success. Hulk is the hero who's always able to shut his plans down.

In the Incredible Hulk you'll notice that Stern is doctor 'red' who tries to cure Banner from his radiation. When he betrays Banner by helping the abomination a few drips of Banner's blood drip on his head and you can even see his brain grow for a few seconds.

Legion, my honest opinion.

Hey everybody, today I'll be talking about the series Legion. Originally I wasn't going to watch the series until later but since I read a lot of strong opinions about it I went along and watched it anyway.

Before you read further you should be aware this post contains spoilers and I'll be telling you my own opinion so it'll be my view on the series which very well could be a whole different view of yours. This doesn't mean one of us is wrong, it just means we experienced it differently.

When I started watching it didn't make a lot of sense to me. The storyline was very vague and it was exhausting to keep track with what was actually happening and what was a hallucination of David. As the series evolved it got a lot more interesting getting to know the other characters and learning about what's actually wrong with David but I have to say I found the storyline very slow.

A lot of things happened for no reason and didn't add a lot to the story. As an example the doctor, You see a lot of fragments of David's memory where he went to a psychologist. They spend a lot of time trying to find out what happened there and what he did to the doctor. When they finally find the doctor it turns out to be a set up and the bad guy's are there waiting for them but that doesn't take away we still don't know what happened.
Same story goes for his adoptive dad who used to read abusive stories to David when he was a child. The cartoon of 'the angriest boy ever' is used as a version of Farouk The Shadow King throughout the whole story but apart from that we don't really get to see the end of the story. Was his adoptive dad abusive? Were the times he read the stories hallucinations as well?

I did like the part where David was trapped by Farouk but his sub consciousness creates a different version of himself and the two David's come to learn about how to properly wage a mind control war.

I'm left with a lot of questions. What's the deal with Oliver, I'm guessing we'll learn a lot more about his gifts in season two? The Lenny we saw first in the looney bin, she was real right? Syd could see her so she must have been but than again other people claimed she was a guy the whole time? What was that all about?

Basically if found it a little bit much. I was waiting for a grand finally but it didn't really came. I had a hard time keeping track and I didn't enjoyed it as much as I'd hoped.
I'm not saying it's a bad series, I imagine a lot of people did enjoy it but it wasn't really my thing. That doesn't take away that I hope you'll enjoy it if you consider watching it!

Davos (the steel serpent)

Again an Iron fist post, I know but hey! We have to keep up with the new stuff right? Again, if you haven't watched the series you might want to wait out on this post!

As you've seen Davos is one of the brothers Danny had in K'un-Lun. Soon you kind off see how he envies Danny and really doesn't understand how he didn't become the Iron Fist. He has no feelings for humanity and sees Danny as an idiot for abandoning his post at the gates of K'un-Lun.
Seeing this I thought there might be more about this character so I looked him up. After reading a great deal about him I think we'll see a lot more of him in the future series.

In the comics Davos isn't able to get over the fact that he isn't the Iron fist and eventually he goes to the dragon Shou-Lao to challenge him. This is strictly forbidden by his father Lei Kung who is also the ruler of K'un-Lun. There is only supposed to be one Iron Fist and the chosen one can challenge the dragon, nobody els.
Davos gains the power of the Fist but is banished by his father. He than goes to earth blaming Danny for all of his misery. He called himself 'the steel serpent'.

Sounds like something that could happen don't you think? Could it be that Davos is the one who ruined K'un-Lun at the end of the series? I guess we'll see in the future series.

Daughters of the dragon

Today's post we'll talk about something that happened in the Iron Fist series. If you haven't seen it yet you might want to skip this post!

We want to talk about Colleen Wing who's one of the main characters. In the beginning of the series she participates in these cage fights for some extra cash. When the host of the fights presents her she chooses 'the daughter of the dragon' as her fighter nickname. I went out and looked it up and found something that might be a thing in the future defenders series.

There is a team up called 'the daughters of the dragon'. Colleen is part of the team but the second member is Misty Knight who was one of the main characters in the previous 'Luke Cage' franchise. The fact that these two were brought forth as main characters in both series could mean that the team up might really happen!

I for one hope these two badass women will kick ass together on television in the future.
