I just want you to know that I have written a video wherein I do my take on Contraxians. I just wanted to let you know I will take aim to not seem to copy or mimic you out of respect.

OK think I got some few ideas what you can do for your next origin number one you could do the origin of scar number two the origin of nebula Sam number three you could do the origin of the Hulk family like how Dr. Bruce Banner is born and why his dad is a monster and the origin of Dr. Banner and number three could do the origin of Rick Jones number four you can do the entire history of she hulk and the entire history of venom how Eddie go to go to bad to evil to losing the cereal reuniting with the semi out, and became God with venom and number four you can also do the origin of Reid, Richard and Johnny storm and Susan storm and the origins of moon girl

It never ceases to amaze me, how Marvel characters take such strange paths through their history. From starting out in a martial arts story to becoming an Avenger, Jack of Hearts has had a long strange journey through the Marvel Universe. Seeing him here made me wish for a video on ROM. So that's my suggestion for a future video this month. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

Jack of Hearts first appearance was in the B/W Magazine "The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu" #21 (February 1976). His first color appearance was in the Incredible Hulk #214 in August 1977. He was featured in "The Invincible Iron Man" series in 1977. In issue #103, Tony Stark took him under his wing for superhero training.

What would have happened if Jack of Hearts made his MCU debut in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 since the planet Contraxia was featured in that movie? Do you think he should have appeared in the Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumainia movie where he could have helped Scott Lang save Cassie Lang just like in the comics?

@masterrserch3971 2 ай бұрын

I look a bit of a break from comics for a spell, not 100% sure when, but when I came back, I had a "moment" at my comic shop lol. Since the internet wasn't really around and I couldn't really just check-in on the world of comics, so I just heard this or that about certain goings on in our wonderful graphic novels, and went back to the store to start up collecting again I wound up perusing through and saw an Avengers issue, and said, quite out loud, "who the hell is Jack of FRIGGIN hearts, and why is he on the Avengers???," which caused a chuckle from the kid a couple boxes away from me, and the dude behind the counter ... I absolutely judged a book by its cover with J.o.H, and while I never really "hated" him, or became a fan (or even casually gave a tumbling turd or 2 about him), I firmly stood atop the "GET JACK OFF (uhh err, the AVENGERS....get jack off the Avengers...jack of hearts, obviously ...get him off.. ugh, REMOVE jack from the Avengers)" Fan Club... The name is probably the reason that the club or the movement never caught on (though i cant imagine WHY, it just flows off the tongue like a the lazy summer waters of a babbling brook 😉 ), but what DID catch on was being me being called "Jack of Hearts," or just JACK, when I walked in the store the next few times that that guy was behind the counter again, a la Norm walking into CHEERS... 😅😅 And that's my Avengers with Jack of Hearts story ....for Jack offs
