Quick Facts: MC2 Edition No. 4

This factoid will be the fast and furious fourth in the series of facts.

Did you know that the MC2 was the originator of both the Revengers (A-Next #12) and Savage Six (Spider-Girl #25) teams. A Revengers team led by Wonder Man would later be used in the regular Marvel Universe in  New Avengers Annual vol.2 #1. The Savage Six name would also be used in the MU by the Crime Master's team of villains starting with Venom vol. 2 #17.

The MC2 Revengers.

Supanova approaches...

Australia's pop culture expo/convention/gathering of like-minded individuals is nearly upon us, and for once, I'll be apart of it. Yes, I'm heading to Brisbane Supanova 2012! I did have plans to blog about a global re-read of all things MC2, or an in-depth look at some favorite characters in the universe, maybe even talk about attracting young readers to comics, but instead, next week you're going to have deal with me tell you about my latest acquisitions. Sorry, there's just no way around it. I'll have to re-schedule that meeting with the Queen too, hopefully she won't be to busy later. Cosplayers, comics and celebrities, oh my!



Okay, I'll through my millions of adoring fans a bone with this MC2 fun fact: The electrically-powered super villain Electro first appears in Amazing Spider-man #9 (way back in '64, kids!) while, in the MC2, Killerwatt (a similarly-powered super-baddie) shows up in Spider-Girl #9. Don't you just love parallels?




Until I think of better exit line, I remain
