Most Underrated Marvel Superpowers
Throughout the history of mankind, there has been one question that has either divided or united those that give an answer. It is a question asked by children and adults like. What superpower is the best? Many respond with the obvious choices, the comic greats that have permeated pop culture since the golden age. Flight, strength, mind-reading, laser beams for eyes, x-ray vision, time manipulation. Undoubtedly there is a good reason for these to hold their place as the most sought after of abilities. They are possessed by the most famous of superheroes. But what of the unsung heroes? Do they not possess great power as well? I'm not talking about those weird forgotten superheroes. I'm talking about the guys that just need more time to shine. The most underrated Marvel superpowers are nothing to ignore, as you will see.
Bjorn BjornsonPublished 7 years ago in GeeksSilver & Black Release Date Announced
Every time Sony makes an announcement regarding anything to do with Spider-Man or the associated characters, I find myself pondering this question. To be perfectly honest, it’s more like a ponderous drum beat thumping in the back of my head. It all began with the announcement of a Sinister Six movie way back in 2014 following the release of TheAmazing Spider-Man 2. It wasn’t so much the idea of a Sinister Six movie that rubbed me the wrong way, it was the idea of having a movie devoted to Spider-Man's rogues' gallery without the inclusion of the wall crawler himself. It just didn’t make any sense. Then there was the announcement of an Aunt May solo film, and the jaws of Spider-Man fans the world over collectively dropped. I had to lie down for several minutes my head was thumping so hard that day. Then Sony was hacked and the world got to see for themselves the circus that went on behind the scenes. This left Sony and in particular Amy Pascal, I still don’t understand how this woman managed to avoid the firing squad, in a deeply embarrassing and precarious situation. From the ashes of catastrophe came a single spark of hope in the form of a deal with Marvel, which led to Spidey’s inclusion in Civil War. From the moment he arrived on the screen in that trailer, the fans knew that finally, we had the Spider-Man we had been praying for and we rejoiced.

Escape From Earth / Jonas PetterssonPublished 7 years ago in GeeksThe Forgotten and Undying Ones: Dr. Strange and Dr. Doom
One of the most widely loved Dr. Strange stories from the 80s is Dr. Strange and Dr. Doom: Triumph and Torment in which Dr. Strange helps Dr. Doom free Momma Doom’s soul from Mephisto, the most commonly used devil of the Marvel universe (though in the Defenders comic, Doc had run ins with actual Satan (Maybe? It’s a confusing story)). Mike Mignola’s pre-Hellboy art (including his depiction of Hell) is the prime reason this is so beloved, but Roger Stern is one of the best Doc writers of the decade. Sometimes when you see lists of great Dr. Strange villains, it’ll include Dr. Doom and Mephisto which is a bit inaccurate (and a bit disrespectful to the magnificent deep bench of rogues that are solely Doc’s): Doc didn’t fight Mephisto all that often (Big M is a Silver Surfer villain far more than a Doc villain), and he had only a few fights with Doom here and there (no more so than the rest of the Marvel Universe) but this one story is so beloved, it alone pushes Mephisto and Doom way up the list.

As many people know Marvel has produced some violent superhero films throughout the years, such as Daredevil, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Punisher, and Deadpool. Other movies they produced include the infamous stories of Spider-Man, Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, and many more. Over the years there have been women superheroes that stood out for their strength, unbelievable power, abilities, and determination. Many people will most likely recognize these women immediately because they have been etched into our brains as being the most powerful female Marvel Superheroes.

Riley Raul ReesePublished 7 years ago in Geeks"Show Time, A-Holes" - A Review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is not a perfect movie. That doesn’t stop it from being one of Marvel’s best. In fact, I believe it to be overall superior to the first film. This is largely due to the fact that almost nothing feels wasted here. Everyone is given something to do, everyone has an arc (even bit characters), and their payoff affects both them and the plot at large. I think at some point writing the script (or perhaps from the beginning), James Gunn realized that doing a sequel is about more than just throwing a bunch of shit on the screen that people recognize. Sure, Howard the Duck is in it, but I think fans have become accustomed to the level of fan service present in these more recent entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that they’re catching on to the fact that dangling a big shiny object in front of our faces and expecting us to jump just doesn’t cut it anymore. I think the fact that Vol. 2 doesn’t try to retread the things in the first movie that made it work, or duplicate the tone or structure of it, which may be disappointing to some people. When people first saw The Empire Strikes Back, a lot of them thought it was considerably darker and more tense than Star Wars was, and it’s depressing cliffhanger left a lot of them dissatisfied. Years later many regard it to be the best film in the saga.
