Saturday Showcase: Titania


    Today's showcase, in my opinion,  deals with one of the most underrated villains in Marvel Comics history. Her birth name is Mary MacPherran but she is better known as Titania.  She was introduced to us in July of '84 during the Secret Wars (issue #3 to be exact).  She was created by Jim Shooter and Mike Zeck.

The name Titania, is born.

    Titania is a ruthless villain in every which way.  She has teamed with Dr. Doom, Ultron, Constrictor, and Kang the Conqueror  to name a few.  She has been a member of the Masters of Evil, Femizons, Frightful Four, the Worthy, and the Illuminati.  Hell, at one point of her life, she wielded the power of one of the infinity stones and gave She-Hulk a run for her money.  You could also say she is an honorary member of the Wrecking Crew since she is married to the Absorbing Man.

Moonstone, Titania, and the Absorbing Man 

    She has fought the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the X-men, Thor, She-Hulk, Spider-Man, and well heroes and villains alike during the Secret Wars.  She is just someone you do not want to mess with.

    Her abilities include:
  1.     Expert Street Fighter
  2.     Immense Superhuman Strength
  3.     Superhuman Stamina
  4.     High-level Resistance to physical injury
Titania attempts to show She-Hulk who the baddest woman really is.
    Titania has been used in the world of comics for a long time.  She has even made it to TV on the Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. series as well as the Avengers Assemble show.  She has also been featured in the Marvel: Future Fight game as a playable character as well as a boss character in the Iron Man and X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal game.  However, I feel she can be so much more.  She has history with every major character in the Marvel Universe so why not have her in a movie or an let her make an appearance in a Netflix show.  The possibilities are endless.  Titania deserves the respect and I hope she gets showcased by more than just NERDs like me.



Until next time, get your READ on!

As always, unleash your inner NERD!

Secret Wars 2099 #3

I have been reading key issues of the latest Secret Wars from Marvel and I have to say I have been impressed with most of the issues so far.  One of my favorite titles has been the Secret Wars 2099 series.  This week we saw the release of issue #2 which has the futuristic Avengers take on the Defenders of 2099.


One panel sticks out in my mind from this issue.  The panel shows Hulk 2099 and Hercules standing side by side, when all of a sudden there is props given to the Avengers film.  You know, the Hulk and Thor seen.  


Needless to say I laughed my ass off!
