10 Reasons Why People Love Iron Man
When the Iron Man character was originally created, Stan Lee intended for the billionaire playboy to be one that everybody hated. His unpredictable nature and sarcasm were supposed to be something that fans abhorred, and his virtues were not (and still kind of aren't) necessarily in line with other heroes' at his inception.

10 Reasons Why People Love Thor
If you’ve ever watched any of the Marvel films so far, you’ve definitely noticed Thor and all his glory. Played by one of the hottest superhero actors, Chris Hemsworth, this superhero is absolutely impossible to ignore. Bringing more than just good looks to the table though, he is the God of thunder in tales of lore, has unbelievable cosmic power, and, in every Thor film so far (think Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok), leads moviegoers on epic, action-packed, and entertaining adventures. The reasons why people love Thor aren't really a secret, but you have appreciate what he brings to the Avengers and the Marvel Cinematic Universe at large.

10 Facts About Gambit Only Serious X-Men Fans Know
As far as X-Men members go, very few characters have the same amount of female fans as Gambit. He's a low-key comic book hottie. With his sultry Southern brogue and his crazy card shuffling skills, Gambit's got that kind of sexy vibe that girls go wild for.

10 X-Men Movie Fan Theories That Actually Make Sense
Back when I was in college, I had a friend named Sam. Sam was the type of person who really loved to read into comics, cartoons, and books to find secret meanings. Talking to him was always a kick, primarily because I never knew what fan theories he'd come up with.

Top 10 Deadliest Marvel Characters
Some of the best parts of superhero movies are those intense action scenes where superheroes and villains fight to the death. Whether fans are reading through origin stories or are watching the Avengers risk their lives to save the galaxy, it's always exciting to watch each characters' powers match up against each other as they battle for the fate of themselves and others. There's no shortage of ability to be enjoyed either, as the MCU is filled with characters that are each more powerful than the next. In order to make story plots as compelling as they could possibly be, Marvel committed themselves to giving the sides of good and evil an immense amount of power; and though some are more reserved or humble about their ability, others can only be characterized as deadly. This could leave fans wondering though, which side will ultimately prevail? The only way for anyone to know for certain is to consider each side's main players carefully against each other. Luckily for the fate of the world, the deadliest Marvel characters come from both sides of the aisle.

Hulk vs. Weapon H! The Hulk Catches the Flu?
Ever since Weapon H was created in 2018, I've been hoping that he would fight either Wolverine, Hulk, or both because the character is a mix of the two. So when I saw that Hulkverines came out I was pretty excited. The story is written by Greg Pak with Ario Anindito doing the art. The title is connected to the Weapon H title and the current Immortal Hulk—run by Al Ewing. Before we get into the story though, let's talk about Weapon H because he is not a well-known character.

Who Is Captain Marvel?
The buzz from the new movie Captain Marvel, which is hitting theaters March 8th, is just now erupting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Many people who are fans of the Marvel movies, but were never avid comic book readers, may be asking the question, “Who is Captain Marvel?” This is a reasonable question to ask because she has not appeared in any other recent films created by Marvel studios. In fact, this character has yet to be seen at all on the big screen. So who is she? Let’s take a closer look.

'Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe'
All the things we love about Deadpool in a neat disturbing package. Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe has epic fourth wall breaks and all the characters you know and love dead. You would think a mini-series whose main storyline is all the characters dying would be sad and depressing, but in true Deadpool fashion, it's badass fight scenes and comedic timing alleviate the disturbing nature of the content. Add to that, most of the heroes (and villains) die in graphic but ridiculous ways, a lot of them being beheaded.

'Black Panther'
I have had this conversation many times, with many different people, but I normally get so angry I can’t formulate a solid argument—even though I’m right—so here we go. Certain people have told me that absolutely nothing in Black Panther's plot is political. Nothing... not the villain's entire motivation or 90 percent of his dialogue.
