Wendell has some Daddy issues to work out. *crickets* I got a D in Physics, so who cares, just incinerate that big ol’ alien with your science endowed powers.įirst thing Daddy does is send Wendell on a six year flight to Uranus, where the bands originated. “Ooh, the bands are tapping into the six caliber ultra violet energy on the middle of the light spectrum…” There’s plenty of learning curve stuff contained here, but there’s also plenty of science talk here too. ![]() Good thing Pops has read some Green Lantern books. Did I mention the first time they ran some tests, random dude gets blown up? (Rocking the bee hive helmets and slide rulers since 1965) want the bands.īecause he wants to save his daddy, poor Wendell is forced to wear the bands. Wendell’s distracted Dad is head of the project. ![]() Wendell Vaughn, a recent SHIELD grad, who Nick Fury (old, white dude) believes lacks the killer instinct, gets to sample a variety of donuts and order pizza on his new security detail guarding the quantum bands. SHIELD gets a hold of the bands and starts experimenting with them.įirst dude that tries them on -> blows himself up -> natch. Marvel Boy, originally from Uranus (pronounced: your anus), somehow blew himself up fighting the Fantastic Four leaving behind just the quantum bands. It seems it’s all about the Quantum Bands. You live dangerously my friend, but no, no you can’t. Jeff, can I add half a tablespoon of Batman as well? Take a little bit of Green Lantern, a dash of Nova, a splash of Adam Warlock, a little bit of that Great American Hero dude who isn’t quite sure how the hell his suit operates, a pinch of that lazy, ineffectual guy at work who got his job because he married the boss’s fat-assed daughter, snort some moon dust, add 2/3 cup of raw almonds, and… So, just who the hell is Quasar, this Cosmic Avenger? However, he considered his magnum opus to be the mid-1980s 12-issue miniseries Squadron Supreme, which told the story of an alternate universe where a group of well-intended superheroes decide that they would be best suited to run the planet ![]() His 60-issue run on Quasar realized Gruenwald's ambition to write his own kind of superhero. He made a deliberate effort to create villains who would be specific to Captain America, as opposed to generic foes who could as easily have been introduced in another comic. As a writer, Gruenwald is best known for creating the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe and his ten-year stint as the writer of Captain America during which he contributed several notable characters such as Crossbones, Diamondback and U.S. In 1982, Gruenwald, Steven Grant, and Bill Mantlo co-wrote Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions, the first limited seriespublished by Marvel Comics. During this period, he shared an office with writer/editor Denny O'Neil, whom Gruenwald considered a mentor. Hired initially as an assistant editor in January 1978, Gruenwald was promoted to full editorship by Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter in 1982, putting Gruenwald in charge of The Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Spider Woman, and What If. In 1978 he was hired by Marvel Comics, where he remained for the rest of his career. Articles by Gruenwald include "The Martian Chronicles" (a history of the Martian Manhunter) in issue #13 and several articles on the history of the Justice League in issue #14. Before being hired by Marvel, he wrote text articles for DC Comics official fanzine, The Amazing World of DC Comics. Gruenwald got his start in comics fandom, publishing his own fanzine, Omniverse, which explored the concept of continuity. ![]()
