Welcome Sgt Szardos, Soldier Supreme & The Secret Invaders (Spoilers)

Published Wed, 29 Jun 2022 08:45:12 -0500

Today's Avengers see them travelling through time to stop Mephisto from altering it (again). Which also lets us meet other Avengery-type fellows from history, including other iterations of familiar Avengers heroes on a repeat cycle. Today that means Sgt Szardos, Soldier Supreme and his Secret Invaders, as previously teased in Avengers #50.

Presumably related to Margali Szardos, mother of Stephan and Jimaine, later known as Amanda Sefton, she has been a Sorceress Supreme in her own right. And Sgt Szardos fits alongside that.

With a living breathing weapon for dealing with the denizens of hell, who have made it to this world as part of Wolrd War II/

And it seems there is a lot of that about in 1943.

And you never know when he is going to have to drop a magical epithet or two.

So why haven't we heard of him by now? Well, that may have been Mephistos doing as well.

As he rewrites time to remove its more inconvenient elements. While the present day Avengers are doing theirbest to rewrite it back again. Consider this The X Lives Of Sgt Szardos.

And as for the rest if his Secret Invaders? Well, he has a Ghost Rider…

…as well as Man-Thing, known as War-Thing, and Blade as well.

Blade was meant to have been born in 1922, and has just aged well over the years. At twenty-one years old, he is at least old enough to sign up! More past Avengers to come in the next two issues, here's a reminder…
