Wonder Man is a pivotal character in Marvel lore with ties to Baron Zemo, Scarlet Witch, the Beast, the Grim Reaper, and the Vision. I first came to him in the Busiek/Perez run where he had a major role. If only he didn’t have such goofy costumes!

This story brings to mind Avengers 2 (1963), where the Space Phantom infiltrates the Avengers via the Hulk, and his manipulation and deceit nearly destroy the Avengers from within, even as they get used to being a group with a brand new headquarters.

Issues With Cartoons @issueswithcartoons.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

Daredevil 168 (1980) takes a storyline from Will Eisner’s classic Spirit strip and updates it to 1980s superheroes, creating a complex character that turns Daredevil’s mythology on its head and creates a complicated adversarial relationship that was born out of love. A new Daredevil era starts here!

Everything changed for Daredevil when Frank Miller became the writer/artist (with embellishments by Klaus Janson), and much of that can be attributed to the introduction of Elektra Natchios as seen in today’s installment of Daredevil Week. 🧵
