#Marvel #Avengers #WonderMan
It's actually interesting how accurately adapted his origin was in the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon
That whole show is pretty much nothing but references. It's a huge love letter to the Marvel Universe imo and I hope they get a revival one day like Young Justice
Which is also a show that has a ton of references and feels like a love letter to DC

@@pickedceasar1216 I don't think it's so much references as it is adaptations. References are little things in the background or hidden in the art/dialouge that's fun if you catch it. These were just straight up retellings of the stories. And I appreciate that. It's what the MCU could and should have been.
@@unigenius still technically a reference but you're right. Was really only using reference cause I couldn't think of the word adaptation for some reason 😅😂
That cartoon was awesome. It stuck fairly tight to comics storylines. A Lot tighter than the trash that tried to gain hype from the movies.
I'm definitely a fan of Wonder Man, especially the 90s series...
Me too. Didn't think anyone remembered that series.
@@powerbad696 I bought the issues.
@@CaptainFrost32 I've always had a soft spot for Wonderman,good character.
Wonder Man is one of my favorite Marvel heroes. The comic with him and Beast was amazing.
I've never been able to like Wonder Man too much because, like Scarlet Witch, he's one of those Avengers who was sometimes a great member but other times, an enemy or source of dangerous problems for the team. But I learned some new things about his origin in this video.
His ionic form is the best version.
I like the fact that he is IMMORTAL!!!
As a Kid, he was one of my favourite characters! Along with Count Neferia and Goliath. Love the energy forms and powers like that I’ve always been a fan
Count Nefaria is so op. I really don’t know how they’d be able to portray him in the MCU. But it’d be dope to see him in an animated series.
lol 😂
Goliath was a beast!!!
Wonderman was one of the first Amrvel heroes I became a fan of and his series was the first comic series I collected.
I was hoping a mention of him living 1000 years into the future to become Hollywood in the Guardians. Different timeline I know but it shows his longevity.
He covers the Hollywood version of him in his Guardians of the Galaxy video
Two things I wonder (hah) about the Wonder Man series is:
1. Will Grim Reaper be in it?
2. What costume will they adapt?
He do where alot of costumes
@@mangareader7474 yeah. One I definitely can see getting adapted is his robe costume
@@antonissa8345 Do you mean his smoking jacket outfit? When he takes the jacket off, he has the black shirt with red W across his chest.
@@CaptainFrost32 why not? I can totally see him wearing it in casual situations before he has to hero up
Safari Jacket of course.
Definitely underrated. Underrated heroes need more attention.
Hope to see Wonder Man in the MCU soon!
Something tells that's going to happen with the announcement of Wonder_Man getting his own Disney Plus Show in the MCU
@@quentinfogger5755 you predicted it!
He's getting a series played by Aquamans Black Mantis
The MCU blackwashed Wonder Man.
@@44excalibur i don't think that's too big a deal. the race of a character doesn't really matter, as long as the actor is good at playing them
We DEFINITELY want to hear the story and see the future video about Spider-Man and the cast of SNL!
WOW! love comic books!
Apart from the Comics, I was introduced to Wonder_Man in Avengers United we Stand and in Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
What do you think is the best thing about Simon Williams when he's not Wonder_Man, is he better as an actor or a businessman? Why did Ultron use his brainwaves to create Vision?
After watching all 3 seasons of The Boys, I can *totally* visualize all of this perfectly in my mind.
How about casting the great actor John Hamm as Wonder Man? How cool would that be?!?
YES THIS IS WHAT I BEEN WAITING FOR
He is one of my favorites. The sunglasses and the red leather coat. Awesome.
Always loved Simon Williams growing up & was 1 of my top 5 all time favorite Avengers!
I love the avengers earths mightiest heroes episode all about this character
Very detailed as always Really liked the music thnaks
Didn't they originally say WM was strong as Giant-Man, fast (durable?) as Iron Man and had fists as powerful as Thor's hammer? He's the hero that made me rethink my view on how cool having super strength would be and changed my view of Superman and strong types. It was a Defender's issue he guest starred in where, when startled, he turned suddenly and tore a chunk out of a computer he was holding. I hope they do him justice when/if he makes it to the big screen live action. Oh and I really want to see either a comic or a cartoon adaption of some of his in-universe shows.
If I remember right wonder man has been completely absorbed by Rogue . Unless someone has a newer story showing him escaping from this.
Yeah he did. There was one story where Rogue absorbed Deadpool’s healing factor and it basically acted as a circuit breaker that allowed Rogue to be able expel Simon from her body and he was able to have his own again.
He is so underrated
I wished that Disney didn't cancel The Avengers EMH. I wanted to see Wonder Man join The Avengers
Left out that time he formed together the "Revengers" to take down the Avengers.... Not a complaint. Just an observation.
I love Simon and the rest of the West Coast Avengers. Great memories reading those stories.
How great would it be if Eric Williams, aka The Grim Reaper, gets introduced to the MCU/Avengers films the same time his brother Simon Williams does???
I still have the Avengers comics where Wonder Man sports the original red and green costume. I've always rated him, though the one thing that irritates me about him is he always compares himself to Thor! He says *"I'm in a class only Thor can touch"* nearly all the time! But the bromance between Simon and Beast is classic!
Another great vid!!
He quickly became one of my favorite Super Heroes🤞🏽
A character, like many marvel characters, that is under utilized and deserves more love.
Really big fan of the Channel
It's about time you did the history of Wonder_Man since you did the history of Vision. Are you going to do history of his brother the Grim_Reaper in your next video?
I've always liked Simon Williams. Thanks for the video!
Is Wonder_Man's powers similar to the Living_Laser? Who do you think would win between the two of them? Would it be awesome if they made their MCU debut in Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumainia since they could get their powers from the Quantum Realm?
Erik Josten was given the same ionic ray treatment as Wonder Man by Enchantress using Zemo's equipment. (He took the name Power Man until he lost to Luke Cage in a name fight.) He worked for Count Nefaria alongside Whizzer and Living Laser until Nefaria had their powers enhanced. As they were sent against the Avengers, Nefaria had the same doctor provide him the enhanced power of all three villains.
I love that question. Not many people know about that character. It be an epic fight that’s for sure. I possibly with give the edge on Wonderman.
Goliath and Simon DID fight, actually ! It was in the first issue of the Wonder Man series .
Eric used to be one of my favorite villains. Boy, they REALLY screwed him up!
I wasn't a fan of them making Simon into a pacifist; that came out of nowhere. And I really wish they would let him reunite with the cast of his 1990s comic book, especially Alex. They were going to get married; did he just forget about her?
The pacifist angle was such a waste of a great character. Wonder Man was created to be be an Engine of Distruction! It seemed like Marvel intentionally tried to make him less appealing.
Maybe they'll bring back Alex in the show and Wanda gets jealous of them.
These videos are always on point. So good. I wish the people who only started to get into Marvel when IRON MAN one came out would watch these videos. It really bugs me when people refer to the MCU as the 616 universe or that the power sets portrayed on Disney+ are character accurate.
I can't wait for wonder man to be in the mcu movies. 😀👍
I always thought of Wonder Man as what would happen if a nerdy guy suddenly gets super strength and invulnerability. Yeah, the muscles basically put you at the top of the food chain but you still cant really fight.
A great look at an Avengers mainstay. Wonder Man is one of those characters who need a fashion of the Marvel Universe video. How about a History of The Beast video?
Thanks for the vid mate; Wonder Man has always been one of my favourite Avengers, yet he gets very little love.
"Cure PMS with Gamma rays" is one of the most ridiculous things in comic history.
I was legitimately starting to think I was the only one who heard that.
I always thought spymaster would make a great video. He fought iron man
"Cure PMS with gamma rays."
How could no one see how destructive a combination like that would create.
I'm hoping that when Wonder Man's MCU show hits Disney+, Wanda doesn't make any kind of appearance. I'd much rather see him develop a relationship with Alex, or if they feel the need to have him get together with another superhero, have him fall in love with Captain Marvel or maybe even Tigra (though she still needs to be introduced).
Wow what a amazing story. But aren't most
comic stories that way. Thanks for filling in the back story. Now I get a little more of the Easter eggs from Wanda Vision .
One of my favorite superheroes. Really excited about the rumors of him getting a movie cause of the potential with him and bringing Vision back from white vision
Like I could see him maybe being one of the people that helped build white vision but after seeing how much og Vision meant to Wanda he'd want to try to give him back his emotions but since he doesn't have any of the original brain patterns/AI/Infinity Stone used to make the originals emotions he has to use his and maybe it's a movie or series about discovering who Vision really is and introducing Wonderman
Though that'd probably work better as a sequel so Wonder man doesn't get too upstaged
Losing track of his history in the 90 when I stopped collecting comics its nice to see how things turned out. I remember him flying sooner though didnt he have hip rockets that were tired directly to his powers?
I'm not saying this video was made because of the Disney+ announcement.
But I'm not NOT saying that.
It blew my mind when I found out that Simon had romance with Carol Danvers, but I think they made a good couple.🙂
Your vids are always auto-liked once I hit play. You tie in all the various histories so well. You should have may more subs.
Which model of Ultron was it that the reaper teamed up with?
Earths Mightest Heroes
What do you think is the best thing about Wonder Man and which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best? What do you think he would be like in the MCU and that too in his own Disney Plus show with his brother the Grim Reaper and the crazy eight as the villains?
I wonder How The MCU Will introduce Simon maybe he'll be a Struggling Actor looking for his next big show or he was manufactured by Wanda So she could Forget all about Her Trauma and All of The Mistakes she's Made
Excellent profile of Wonderman !!! Salute Fam!! Excelsior!!!
I really enjoy all the work in your videos. Great details and thorough telling of characters. Thanks for the enjoyment. Look forward to your next video.
Wonder Man is an old-school Avenger, one of the earliest, who rarely gets well-written these days. He's always been one of my favorites. I have his first comic which was him becoming head of security for research organization similar to Project Pegasus but he got fired because his duties with the Avengers got in the way. It was a single issue comic.
Merry I love your content but I have a question for you do you know of any youtube channel that covers dc in a similar style to how you cover marvel I would love to find out about one
Look for Robcore pages he’s the best on TH-cam
Comics explained - is robs best channel it’s got everything DC marvel the boys whatever you want
@@MikeSmith-vl5em I am talking about specifically dc not a mix just a dc equivilant to merry marvelite
@@MikeSmith-vl5em I agree comics explained is my go to place
@@alfieingrouille1528 yeah I’d still go to that channel it has a video for every DC event sense they started till current and a video for every character DC has to offer man... and the guy knows his shit I’ve read every single comic DC has put out in the last 30 years..it’s the place to go
When I first thought of Wonder Man (bear in mind that this was before I knew that Wonder Man was actually a thing), the first thing that came to mind was a short, fat balding dude wearing Wonder Woman’s uniform (same size as Wonder Woman’s uniform, same accessories) who flies a normal jet, but tells others that it is invisible. And when they object, he holds a gun to him/her, and makes them say that it is invisible.
This was probably the most ridiculous thing my brain has ever conjured.
Honestly a beautiful plot.
MerryMarvwelite This man my day Wonderman Is my favorite Superhero
I liked him in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
Wonder Man is awesome!!!!
Sometimes when you watch these kinds of videos you get wrapped up in the stories and lore forgetting the silliness of comics back in the day, until they pronounce something differently from what you thought it'd be in your head snapping you back to reality
As a kid, Wonder Man has always been my favorite hero of the Avengers! He’s awesome. I love his 90s series too! I have many Wonder Man comics! My favorite adaption of Wonder Man is Avengers United They Stand and Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes animated series. I hope his series on Disney Plus will be a success. Yahya Adbul Mateen II is playing Simon Williams/ Wonder Man.🤓👊🏾👊🏾
Can you do the origins of both main and 1610 prowlers, or the origin of your channel next?
Very nice! Thank you for the excellent coverage of *Wonder Man!* I learned a lot, though I vaguely remember him as a member of both *The DEFENDERS* and *HEROES FOR HIRE* during the early 80s. I thought it strange you skipped that part. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong?
This is really great! Can you do the Original Captain Mar-Vell the Kree! This would show those who altered the storyline for the female Captain Marvel today where she really got her powers!
Perhaps the High Evolutionary may be a good choice,also Anihilus,and Machine Man may be good choices for your attention.
Oh wow how interesting didn't know there was a marvel wonder woman how awesome thanks for sharing the history on this character first time hearing about this character cool
The way you say Marvel is the most satisfying thing on the planet.
Tihs is why Wonder Man and Rogue are my favorites, they both started as villians, they were used and taken advantage of, they each joined their hero teams on probationary basis, they proved to have changed their ways, they both earned the trust of their teamates and became superheroes, then icons! That's why I stand behind them! I read theAvengers issue when Rogue attempted to absorb Wonder Man's powers! That night,1981 I dreamt those two would become icons, then I woke up, was visited by a devine premonition from the astral plane! It showed Wonder Man and Rogue becoming Marvel's greatest superheroes, then they would change the comics industry for all time! The next morning and since then, I've followed these two and been a fan since! I saw their future as husband and wife, how that still can happen if Rogue get's sick of Gambit's immaturity and leeching off her success, then if she get's with Wonder Man, they will be the icon couple of the superhero world!
The Revengers where WOnder Man, Captain Ultra, and D-Man betrayed the Avengers really upset me.
Loved his Hollywood phase
This guy deserves to be part of the MCU Avengers.
@Merry Marvelite, you left out the part where Wonderman became Nuklo 'the nuclear man' who the Avengers ended up sealing into a pod then dropping into a pool of wet cement to keep him and the radiation from leaking out and poisoning people. That was I believe, the first time he had returned after his apparent death when he had betrayed the Avengers. It's just a small but (maybe?) important point.
Amazing as always
I like the idea of a superhero becoming an actor especially in light of the superhero film industry we have today.
We cant wait for this wonder man upgrade to the mcu 💯👍
@20:30 - "After she volunteered for an experimental trial to cure PMS with gamma rays." Okay, that's it. Enough internet for me today.
Can you do Grim Reaper next?
1st saw Wonderman in the classic Emperor Doom graphic novel
He's always been an intriguing character
Soooooooo underrrraattteeeeddddddd
WHAT’S WRONG WITH HIS RED EYES? THEY MAKE HIM LOOK COOL!
do the history of 8-ball !
Original Wonder Man is one of my absolute favorites. Bringing him back to life was the best time to be reading AVENGERS. Things went downhill after they repeatedly tried to reinvent him. Original costume, original personality Simon Williams is the best. All the other versions are lesser characters BY FAR!! MCU Wonder Man will be nothing like the real character.
Who’s here after the recent MCU Wonder Man casting 🤣
Awful casting. He looks like waste water.
So basically vision is wonder man????
How he was resurrected is so confusing. So it was the Black Talon, The Living Laser, and possibly Ultron, lol.
Extremely underrated character. As far as I am concerned, he needs to make an appearance in the MCU.
He's getting a Disney plus show
@@hoppingvampire yep
@@hoppingvampire they'll ruin him.....he'll be the guest in his own show just watch.....
not trashing the character, he sounds like a complex but good character and i like his costume but look at current Disney...they just spent 6 episodes destroying the character of Obi Wan Kenobi.....they've ruined Wanda and Loki and mizz marbell is failing plus all the animated what if episodes were insulting at best
all of phase 4 is a bust, they've totally lost momentum and MCU is failing......
if i was you i'd cancel D+ cus there is no quality there and you're funding pedos who want to indoctrinate your kids....
@@Red_Lanterns_Rage WTF are you talking about? Loki's show was a huge hit along with WandaVision. Plus, Ms. Marvel I heard is really good. Also, Obi Wan has been pretty solid from what I heard.
@@charlesgorman4919 dude you're blind as a bat and can not be a true fan....
anyone who can't see how the obi wan show breaks the character is a fool
rewatch OT and ask do this phrase make any sense now? "at last we meet again, the circle is complete when i left you i was but the learner now i am the master"
and how about this one
"general kenobi you served my father in the clone wars and now he deperately asks for your aid"
NO those scenes no longer makes sense with this stupid show....
how does loki get arrested in the first Avengers and get taken by the TVA beat down like a bitch and racked in the nuts over and over when he's suposed to be one of the most powerful characters???
from defeated uber god to nothing in seconds.....the Loki show happens just after the end of Avengers 1 oops!!!! they broke the character!!!! you're blind!!!
Wonder man interesting 🤨 always wonder about him
Great stuff man.
I didn't know that Wonder Man, despite having hung around with the Avengers for awhile, was not even a full member until issue 194, shortly before the team meet the Taskmaster.
Don't tease me with spidey n old school snl!! Don't you do that!..
Please do that🙏....
Can you do a video on the Mindless Ones specifically 🤔
Thanks for this.
Are there any plans to bring Wonder Man into any future MCU movie or TV series?
Can you do history of the Living_Brain, the Elementals, Cyclone, Hydro Man, Molten Man, the Spot, Sandman, Rom_the_Spaceknight, Stingray, Quasar, Starbrand, Nightmask, Ava Ayala the White Tiger, Century, Lore and Technovore?
Can you do history of Ironheart, Jane Foster Thor, Eric Masterson_AKA_Thunderstrike, Amadeus_Cho, the Griever, Pepper Potts AKA Rescue and the Agents of Atlas along with Crescent, Morgan_Le_Fey, White Fox and Luna Snow?
Just subbed this is one coool content here
