So, the spoilery parts:
Spoiler:

Silver Samurai is a suit of armor like Iron Man? lolwut


Spoiler:

Silver Samurai II (Shingen Harada)has power armor, rather then just silver samurai armor.

Silver Samurai I (Kenuichio Harada) is just a mutant with a power to charge objects like Gambit, but makes it so his sword can cut through almost anything without the exploding bit. He uses a HYDRA created ring to teleport.

ooooh.

Thanks, I'm only familiar with the first version of that character. They have essentially merged them for this.

I remember reading the comics sometime in the early 90's. However, Wikipedia says the comic was started in 1969, and then rebooted in 2008. Google came up with this image



which shows a lineup that looks pretty familiar, and the price means it was right around that timeframe; but I can't find any more on this lineup, and I have no idea how those guys became the current lineup, of whom I recognize no one.




It's actually these guys:



It was a series written by Dan Abnett actually.

He was created in 1978 though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drax_the_Destroyer but I don't know when he actually starting looking Kratosey though.

Ya, but I bet Star Lord won't look like that but rather his new costume: http://www.comicvine.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy/4060-25956/forums/usa-today-article-with-the-new-star-lord-suit-756080/

So... we've got an Imperial Inquisitor?

Also that article has me so pumped for Marvel movies... Sorry DC, I just haven't had that lovin' feeling anymore...

Also is the latest spider man on Netflix yet? I need to watch it, and would rather not get the crew, hoist the colors, and go sailing just to get it...

They have handled him incredibly well, and Tom Hiddleston has played him marvelously. I'm glad they haven't really shown much of Malekith and the Dark Elves, just glimpses.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Trailer looks good. I've never been a big fan of Thor in the comics, but the movies have been pretty solid. I think I may even see this one in the theater.

Still, hoping for Beta Ray Bill

Think Thor is doing Superman better than Man of Steel.

Thor is basically the Marvel version of Superman right? Essentially omnipotent, sent to Earth by father, flies and has a big red cape.

Sentry or Hyperion are the Marvel analogues, though Hyperion is usually portrayed as Superman gone bad.

That's the Sentry's deal too now!

And yeah, Hyperion is definitely a ticking time bomb - and they've continued that trend in his latest incarnation too...

The bad guys in Thor 2. They're from another of the nine realms (Svartalfheim possibly?) and are generally evil dudes.

They are like elves, but darker. I like the look for Malekith. You can barely tell there is a Doctor (Chris Eccleston) under all that make up.

I don't know, I think Hyperion (who is totally Marvel's Superman) isn't neccesarily a timebomb. I think he's just written as a more realistic Superman or perhaps just a Superman that didn't have the benefit of the Kent's raising him. I'm talking about Straczynski's excellent version of Hyperion in Supreme Power (there some other weird version of him now in Avengers). It's surprising how well he turned out considering how much humanity screwed him over.

Ticking timb bomb didn't even begin to describe Sentry. He was in fact rotten at his core.

Yep, I had the original series when I was a kid in the 60's. The first character introduced was Charlie 27, but I can't remember the order the other characyers came into it.

Hehe. This thread was the first time I'd heard Sentry mentioned in almost a year, then I pick up Uncanny Avengers #10 a day later, only to. Find Sentry on the cover.

Though I don't disagree regarding him being a ticking time bomb, I would argue that the character of Sentry was in fact one of the more heroic characters, as The Void was an almost completely separate character. I would say that it's more Sentry shares his Body with another person (The Void) who is in fact rotten.

I believe The Sentry in Uncanny Avengers is actually the Age of Apocalypse Sentry or some other parallel universe Sentry.

Anyway, isn't The Void who The Sentey really is?

Why would he not be the main universe Sentry?

He is - but not like that stops most people.

Yes but sometimes the way it doesn't stop you is because your alternate reality self fills in. Such as it was this time. Hell Gwen is alive and kicking in the ultimateverse, and she even died in there too! Good 'ole comic books.

Yes, but it's still the main universe Sentry.

Along with the main universe Daken, the main universe Banshee, and the main universe Grim Reaper.

because apocalypse.
