But in the sixties I read a few issues and they were ruled by a guy with powers like that of roaring man only much greater

Black Bolt?

Black Bolt.

The character on the show was Angar the Screamer. I wish I hadn’t looked that up, because it would have been so much cooler if he had been a hippie on the show, with that outfit.

Also in the comics his powers were less knock-everyone-out and more give-everyone-a-bad-LSD-trip, which actually has far greater potential for interesting effects on the protagonists.

According to Wikipedia his voice did not just affect people mentaolly. He could wreak havoc in the physical world and had to train himself never to utter an unplanned sound, even in his sleep.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

There's a bit in one of the Marvel games where you visit the Inhuman capital and Deadpool tries to coax Black Bolt into saying "Chimichanga."

But yeah, Black Bolt is leagues beyond Angar in power level.

I imagine we won't see any of the major Inhumans until their movie.

Nice! My boss got us all a 3 month Loot Crate subscription for Christmas. Most of the time it's mildly amusing, but as of this morning I now have my very own SHIELD lanyard. (Non-customized, sadly, but still fun.)

None of my co-workers watch the show, so they were confused.

I hope it's Koenig approved, or you could get into trouble.

Really not liking the "Real" SHIELD very much. I'll stick with Coulson no matter how whacked out he may seem.

So "real" SHIELD doesn't know Fury's alive, that kind of negates their legitimacy, but damn, they've got some resources. I wonder who their shadow masters are.

You know, I was actually going to give Ward a shadow of a benefit of a doubt, until he talked about going to see his family. Glad to see he's still stone cold nuts. He's just playing a variant on Garrett on poor Agent 33. That Skye thing was creepy.

I had a visitor distract me from the end. Are Phil and May on to Mack? Poor Fitz. I wonder if Mack will try to turn Fitz or Simmons or both?

And I hope we see Hunter kick some butt. I like him.
