Welcome back, Eddie...

Black Widow (WIP)

I had seen bits here and there, but I made it my mission to avoid any major spoilers 'till I saw the movie. That said, it was the most fun I had seeing a movie in awhile.

Figured it was time to get this rolling again. For my next contestant, let me just say that, whoever said actions speak louder than words has clearly never met Blackagar Boltagon, aka Black Bolt. The King of the Inhumans, Black Bolt's primary superhuman ability is the power to harness electrons. The speech center of his brain contains a unique organic mechanism that's able to generate an unknown particle that interacts with the electrons he absorbs to create certain phenomena that are determined by his mental control. The fork-shaped antenna upon his brow allows him to focus and channel his powers in more directed and less destructive ways. This antenna monitors the speech center of his brain and allows him to direct quantities of the unknown particles to create controlled phenomena, such as enhancing his physical strength beyond his normal limits. He can also channel all the available energy he has into one arm for a single, massively powerful punch called the Master Blow. The exertion from this, however, taxes his ability to employ the energy to its full power for a short time. Black Bolt can also direct the unknown particle outwards without the use of his vocal chords. He can route the particles through his antennae or his arms and hands to create small yet vastly powerful blasts of concussive force, absorb and redirect vast quantities of energy. He can also form a field of highly active electrons around his body with a wave of his hand, this field can deflect projectiles with the mass of a meteor. Black Bolt can also create enough iteration between the electron and particle energies to generate fields solid enough for him to travel over. Through an unknown method, Black Bolt has shown numerous times that he has the ability to manipulate matter and energy to an unknown degree. He has shown the ability to transmute the elements, turn water into ice, create multiple toys out of thin air by rearranging molecular if not particle structure. He has destroyed a Solar Flare powerful enough to annihilate the Earth, and was able to block the powers of others through his abilities in turn denying them access to their abilities. In addition, Bolt has strong psychic resistance, as was evident when he was able to easily resist the mental abilities of his powerful brother, Maximus, and overwhelm him in psychic ability. Black Bolt can also harness the unknown particles his brain generates to interact with electrons to create anti-gravitons that enable him to defy gravity. By emitting a jet of rapidly moving particle / electron interaction by-product while enveloped by anti-gravitons, Black Bolt has been shown to fly faster than hypersonic speeds for a period of 10 hours, and to fly beyond escape velocity. The anti-graviton field also serves to protect Black Bolt from the detrimental effects of rapid movement through the atmosphere although it's not needed. Black Bolt's most devastating offensive weapon, and one of the phenomena based upon the particle interaction, was his actual voice. A whisper could level a city, cause distant dormant volcanoes to become active once more, shake entire continents apart and generate tremors on the far side of the planet. A hypersonic shout has been said to generate enough force to destroy planets. Due to the constant and extreme danger posed by his voice, he had undergone rigorous mental training to prevent himself from uttering even the smallest sound, even while asleep. Recently it had been shown that Black Bolt's scream was tied into his emotions, especially anger. This in turn would mean that the power of his scream would depend on his emotional state in at least some way. It would explain the somewhat significant difference of the power released by his quasi-sonic scream. So...who thinks the king of the Inhumans can stand up to the Zoalord Supreme?

Well, it's listed as part of the DCEU, so...maybe. Also...HOLY CARP WE GOT STARRO!

Who knows why mad Men do what they do!

Also getting a theatrical release that day too.

Managed to catch it, definitely an improvement over what we got in theatres. And they certainly got Darkseid right, IMHO.

That shield represents a lot of things to a lot of people...

Almost feels like Lethal Weapon, but with superheroes. Me, I can't wait to see how Zemo turns out in this series...

They're even bring back Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus too, gotta say they're pulling out the stops here.

"A sorcerer is a wizard without a hat!"

But it also feels like a few doors have been opened too...

Sorta like a reverse-House of M.

If it is, it's a helluva troll...

Uh Tom, about this whole spoiler thing...

If you can't bring down the charging bull, don't wave the red cape at it.

So...who would like to start?

Nine episodes total. We're up to four so far.

I'm suspecting involvement of either Mephisto, Master Pandemonium, or Immortus here...
