Hey, heroes! I'm streaming on Twitch again this weekend! On Saturday I'm starting Final Fantasy III for the PSP, and on Sunday it's Yakuza: Kiwami 2! www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite
-
I didn't forget Destroyer, I remember him from his apearences in Spider-man the animated series!
-
I learned so much of Marvel Comics history from this channel! It's like listening to the Marvel Universe Handbook!
-
I wish Captain America: The First Avenger featured more of these heroes.
-
That 'Destroyer' mini-series from 2009 by Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker is one of my favorite comics of the last 20 years. I did'nt remember the Destroyer character when it came out, even though I have all those old Invaders comics from the 70's, so in a way, this was my introduction to the character. That was a fantastic story, great writing, and great art, as one would expect from the original team who brought us 'Invincible'.
-
That must be the most complicated history of a superhero ever!
-
Not forgotten for me. Both Aubrey and Falsworth have both been favourite characters since the Invaders days.
-
Thanks for this. The mighty destroyer is my favorite timely/marvel hero. You need to do more vids on WW2 heroes.
-
Who knew the destroyer's origin would be SO convoluted and confusing!
-
It would be awesome to get a video entirely about the Golden Age (and modern day revisits of the Golden Age) and a rundown of everything that happened during WWII in the Marvel Universe.
-
The Destroyer ! Stan Lee was 17 years old when he created this , his very first superhero . The Destroyer mask bears a strong similarity to a much later Simon/Kirby character Manhunter .
-
Excellent video and love me some Destroyer...seen an update
-
Excellent job 👏👍👌🙌❤
-
Thanks for the reminder of the Destroyer! My memory is "KeRpLuNk!" so, this was awesome to watch. đź’Ąđź’Ż

I loved the Mark Bagley costume redesign for Thunderbolts
-
Love the video and your content I kinda like the golden age, heroes and kind of sad they don’t get talked as much I mean in DC there’s a ton of golden age heroes that are so around, but in marvel, that’s kind of small the only golden age heroes that are still around in the modern day and Marvel Captain America Bucky, the original human torch, Turo, and Neymar I want to learn more about the golden age marvel heroes, so can you at least make a video about those heroes at some point? Also, you’re a good narrator
-
I think Sharon Carter is the most recent incarnation of The Destroyer now
-
Excellent content!!
-
I never forgot this hero. The MAX comics introduced me to this guy.
-
Kudos to you for untangling such a complicated history. I have a few of the Invaders and Thunderbolts comics Roger is in and he is a cool character. I am familiar with the Destroyer and I have always loved his costumes. His V-Battlaion costume is particularly cool.
