Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! We've already seen one potential new Thunderbolts in today's Invincible Iron Man #19. But might we have another in Spider-Woman #8 by Steve Foxe and Ig Guara? They have been teasing a new Champions, but might something about their background suggest something else. Linked to the New Champions variant covers from Marvel Comics last year, which introduced a bunch of new characters by way of Spider-Boy and Gwenpool as variant covers. And blowing up on eBay as a result. Copies of #7 have sold today for $18, or CGC slabbed for $52. With Liberty, Moon Squire, Hellrune, Cadet Marvel and Titan. And now we learn some origins. But how reliable is the narrator?
Liberty, it seems, invented her own superheroic technology, up there with Batman and Iron Man.
Cadet Marvel is the "accidental explosion/scientific experiment" along the lines of Hulk and Captain Marvel.
Moon Squire is the mystical curse one, along the lines of Shazam and Moon Knight.
While Hellruns is the mystical chosen one of destiny like Thor and Harry Potter.
And Titan gets the accidental radiation origin of Spider-Man, Daredevil or Sandman.
And their actions seem to mirror their origins as well, given half a chance. But are they true?
Not for Liberty it seems. Looks like her truth is more like Weapon X or Jack Hawksmoor. Intervention by unknown mysterious parties. But Titan is even more not what he seems and has been running the show…
How very Thunderbolts of them, The Gremlin and Viper. The Gremlin, Hulk villain created in 1973 by Steve Englehart, was apparently killed in battle with Iron Man during the Armor Wars event. But that was a long time ago. A Russian mutant with a diminutive for who, for a time, wore the Titanium Man power armour, which disguised his true size. Might this also suggest that the Gremlin may be coming to the Armor Wars movie/TV show/whatever they decide?
