Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I always have a toss up as to whether I should read the source material before seeing an adaptation. I hear that this is a good one, which makes me think I might wait.

I'm glad I waited for The Losers. I tend to spend too much time evaluating the adaptation instead of evaluating the movie--if I'd read it on my own by now already, that would be one thing. I just never got around to it, and it's only a couple months away.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If Tim Gunn were judging the competition, Tony Stark would win hands down.

A simple guide to the Marvel universe: [link]

I found the part about the Cosmic Cube particularly helpful.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

But first, a word about Marvel Boy:

They call him Marvel Boy.

And now, a word about Bob from Accounting.

They call him Bob. But behind his back they call him "that smelly Bob."

Bob is more exciting than Marvel Boy.
