BOOMERANG, SCORPION, TARANTULA, TOMBSTONE

We've got an incoming MCU film on the horizon so Colin and Nick are taking a look at the villains of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY and asking the important questions:- what is Scorpion's tail supposed to be? Why does Boomerang's original suit not have any boomerangs on it? And is Tarantula's power just having really really pointy shoes?

(NB - We'll be taking a little break over Easter and will be back in April with new episodes!)

BATROC, WHIRLWIND, LIVING LASER, ZARAN, MACHETE

Bonjour, mes amis! Join your jovial hosts Colin and Nick as they take a look at one of the few Marvel characters who has his own brigade - yes, it's the probably racially-insensitively named Batroc The Leaper (a man skilled in the noble French art of feet boxing). Who are the rest of his brigade? Are they supervillains to be taken seriously? And are any of them actually any good? These questions and fewer might be answered in this week's episode....

BARON STRUCKER, VIPER, BOB AND GORGON

Join Colin and Nick as they take a look at a fascist organisation hellbent on world domination (yes, maybe a bit on the nose in early 2026). They take a look at Baron Strucker (baldy fascist), Viper (sexy fascist), Gorgon (stabby fascist) and Bob (in-it-for-the-healthcare fascist). Cut off the head and two shall grow! (Disclaimer - please don't cut off Colin and Nick's heads; they only have the one each)

Colin and Nick are still taking a little post-festive break so, to tide you over in the meantime, here's a little taster of some of the bonus content that we're putting out on the Patreon in a frankly shameless attempt to encourage new subscribers (boo, capitalism!). We talk a little bit about the Zombie, Simon Garth, and the Marvel universe's version of Frankenstein's Monster (both covered way back in Season 1 episode 19, fact fans!)

Enjoy and we'll be back with full episodes from next week!

OMEGA THE UNKNOWN AND DOCTOR BONG!

For no real reason Colin and Nick discuss the work of late Steve Gerber, creator of the much beloved 70s comedy comic character Howard the Duck. But is he actually funny?? Or is it just a bit weird and depressing? Finally we disagree on something. Sparks fly and things get pretty bloody heated! That said we both adore Doctor Bong and are deeply confused by Omega the Unknown

Best buds Colin and Nick are back reviewing every Marvel Character with an Ironheart special. They've seen about 1.5 eps of the new series and...it's fine. But who is Ironheart? Has she captured our shrivelled middle aged man hearts? And before that: who is the real Tony Stark? Did he ever soil his iron suit? Does he listen to Eric Clapton and Chris Rea? Is Iron Monger the maddest baddest of them all?

It's a fun episode although Colin is in a hotel designed to make it impossible for a human to comfortably reach the desk from his bed and it shows!

Our little run of special guests continues as Nick welcomes comedian Colleen Cheetham-Gerrard (previously a Marvel correspondent herself) to take a look at the many people who have also proved worthy of hefting a mystical hammer and taking up the mantle of the God of Thunder Thor, namely the most famous of the alternates Jane Foster (of course), as well Beta Ray Bill, Thunderstrike and probably the greatest of them all, Dargo Ktor (no, us neither). Is that horse-faced alien really just called Bill? Who is desperate for Thunderstrike to be a thing? And why does Odin keep churning out knock-off Mjolnirs for anyone that fancies being a Thor? Join us and find out!

Everything you need to know about the X-man called...Cyclops.

Colin is joined by special guest David Reed, a brilliant actor and comedian known for his marvellous live and radio shows with sketch group The Penny Dreadfuls.

We talk everything Scott Summers - how do his eye lids work? Is he just a big old stick in the mud? That was a very convenient laser gun that suddenly appeared?

Plus we discover he's forever in the shadows of his brother Alex AKA Havoc (we wanted to do Vulcan and yes Adam X but ran out of time!)

Everything you need to know about Alpha Flight! (Well, half of them anyway...)

Nick and special guest David Ferguson (of Believe? The Myths And Conspiracies Pod) are trekking back to the 80s to take a deep dive into Canada's premier (only?) super hero team, Alpha Flight. Will they fare any better than the last time they were talked about on the pod? Did Civil War usher in the basic loss of clearcut heroism in the Marvel universe? And which of them is basically a synthetic Magneto?

Everything you need to know about Marvel's Olympians 

This week, Jamie and Nick get classical as they take a look at the mighty figures of Greek myth who inhabit the Marvel universe. Will they get mixed up between Greek and Roman mythologies? Will there be an unexpectedly graphic description of how Aphrodite came to be? And who is the super secret special guest that joins them drunk about halfway through? All this and much, much less will be revealed in this week's episode

Everything you need to know about the Avengers in Training!

Nick and Colin travel back to the early 2000s to discuss the post Civil War 'let's stop blowing up towns' Marvel training camp in Avengers Initiative. Who are these crazy kids? Where do they get their powers? - Nobody knows! Who was Man-E-Faces? and most importantly is this any good? Colin thinks it's an MCU goldmine, Nick will not be convinced, even when Colin performs his legendary Man-E-Faces routine.

All in all: a mixed bag.

Colin and Nick are back to answer that age old question:- "How many Buckys is too many Buckys?" as they take a look at the inexplicably high number of people who have decided to take on the mantle of child sidekick. We're talking Nomad (Jack Monroe), Nomad (Rikki Barnes), Battlestar (surprisingly not Nomad) and Sharon Carter (sister-niece of Peggy). Reckless endangerment ahoy!

Everything you need to know about Galactus and all of his Heralds! Including Silver Surfer

Such Epic Characters need an Epic guest and we have the Epically Epic comedian and model, Mr David Edwards.

He's never read a Marvel comic before and boy is he in for a treat. Who is Galactus? Is he a big man in drag? Are his heralds sort of his boyfriends and girlfriends? Does he wear pants? These are just some of the insightful questions we ask as we place these Cosmic entities in the Who's my Favourite Marvel Character Order!

GIANT SIZE X-MEN 50th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL 1

Nick and Colin are joined by comedian Nat Metcalfe as they discuss his favourite Marvel character: Colossus! This ties in beautifully with our plan to cover every member of the 1975 New (at the time) X-men for their 50th anniversary. Did Colossus choose his own dungarees when he became the Proletarian? Why do the best people suffer the most in Marvel (and life)? Are all my teachers dead? All this and more is discussed with the usual Abomb Aplomb - plus Colossus's absolutely awesome sister Magik and kind of wasted potential Russian Flash Gordon big brother Mikhail.

Krik and Col get all hot under the collar as they meet a bevy of black magic ladies. including Eternal Sersi and more of the sultriest sirens of Marvel. Asking questions like when is it ok to move on from your son becoming a cosmic entity? is it possible to disguise yourself whilst showing your ENTIRE FACE? and perhaps most importantly is there such a thing as a soul and if it was a butterfly and you crushed it what would happen?

ALL the minor characters in Daredevil Born Again.

Dan, Nick and Colin put the world to rights again as they discuss the really obscure characters popping up in the recent Daredevil series. Can a man do ANYTHING with a sword? Is White Tiger's origin really that he found some stuff in a bin? Is Sons of the Tiger's Bob Diamond the worst and most racist Marvel character ever? (except the actual Nazi ones obviously)

Everything you need to know about every Spider-woman (we think).

Next on the list is Arachne so we thought let's go crazy and cover every single spider woman - we read so many comics! Colin and Nick frankly exhaust themselves trying to cover every single Spider-Woman. There's loads of them! But are any of them any good? Pretty much no. What the heck are Spider Totems? Were London roads medieval dirt tracks in the 1970s? Will Colin fall under Jessica Drew's spell like so many middle-aged creative men before him?

WONDER MAN, GRIM REAPER, DOORMAN

Look, up in the sky... oh no, hang on, that's someone else. Join Colin and Nick as they take a look at a hero neither of them has paid much attention to before, Simon Williams AKA Wonder Man as they ask the question:- is it worth bothering with the comics or should you just watch the excellent series instead (what do you mean, "leading question"?) Also they take a look at his brother, the Grim Reaper and Doorman (who is generally unrelated to Wonder Man with the exception of the series). Enjoy!
