The Official Stupid Question Thread: Marvel Edition - Part 6

[The Apocalypse]

So a long time ago I decided to stop reading comics because it became a tad bit expensive at the time. I haven't really even kept up. The last major Marvel event I read was Secret Invasion. After that I got into the 2009 X-Force because I really enjoyed the art being done by Clayton Crain.

Anyway, that was just a little backstory. A few months back I discovered I could get comics on my phone for a much cheaper price than buying them in store. So I decided to read the major events from Secret Invasion on. I went, Secret Invasion, War of Kings, Messiah Complex, Siege, Schism, AvX and now I'm on Age of Ultron. I have two questions...

1) When does this even take place? Spider-Man has his mask off and tells everyone he is Peter Parker after the rescue him. Don't they all know this though? I remember him going public in Civil War. Did I miss something?

2) What comes after Age of Ultron?

Spiderman had a story called One More Day that soft rebooted him. It dissolves his marriage to MJ and restored his secret identity

After age of Ultron comes Infinity and other stuff.

Here's a list of what Marvel did for events before and after.

 

[Panthro]

Does the 1979 Spider-Woman cartoon have its own Earth-designation number?

 

[WolfCypher]

But of course, you silly!

[KevanG]

May or may not be correct after the whole Secret Wars thing.

Thank you and you as well, Havok.

Bucky was once sent to a Russian prison where he had to fight Ursa Major. Ursa Major has always been a hero. Why was Ursa Major in prison?

 

[KevanG]

Because those crazy Russians and everyone wants to see the badass normal beatdown a bear.

 

[DawnWarrior]

Is it the same guy tho? Has Ursa Major always been that one guy?

 

[KevanG]

As per the marvel wiki, he's the only one.

How many heroes has Black Widow hooked up with?

Black Widow seduced/romanced Tony Stark early on in the comics to steal his experimental anti-gravity ray. She was seemingly playing him.

Red Guardian (her former husband) and Hercules are the only two other heroes I can think of that you have not mentioned.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Dang, Natasha's like the female Daredevil. Or, wait, most of her romantic partners are still alive and well. So I guess she's more like the female Tony Stark.

So since the multiverse got rebooted, does that mean that Spider-Mans Sins Past (aka Gwen Stacy ****ed Norman Osborn and had secret twins) storyline never happened?

Because I'd like that.

 

[Mike Murdock]

No. The universe didn't get rebooted, it just got put back together. So all stories, good or bad, happened unless there was some other event that rebooted them.

 

[KevanG]

Okay then, since it got put back together can that part be left out in the cold?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

They got surprisingly candid about it in the last issue of The Ultimates. Galactus and Molecule Man talk about the nature of the omniverse--whether the previous one was destroyed and this is a new iteration entirely, or whether the previous was fractured and the new one is simply a rearrangement of the old. In the end, they seem to imply that it doesn't really matter; what matters is that the high-level cosmic abstract entities have their own opinions about it, and they're taking more drastic action than usual. Galactus had to fight Chaos and Order right before this, since they both wanted him to go back to being his old planet-eating self.

So, basically, the prevailing notion seems to be that it's the same omniverse, except where it's not. Which, really, is how continuity always works anyway.

Why does Sharon Carter look so old now? Just glanced at a panel from Cap:SR #1 and she looks (by cb standards) to be in her late 50s. What gives?

 

[KevanG]

So here's something that popped in my head at work today and it's been bugging me. I'm not a big Black Panther fan so I don't know the answer: Vibranium comes from a meteor/comet/big rock from space that fell in Wakanda right?

Has anyone found anymore in space anywhere? I've never seen a mention in any other book about Vibranium being found in space.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Good question. Not to my knowledge.

 

[KevanG]

That's why it's been bugging me. It's supposed to be massively useful in every way for literally anything but no one went to space to find anymore since Wakanda was hoarding it all? You'd think the Skrulls, Shi'ar, or whoever would have a good chunk of it around.

 

[Havok83]

Is adamantium harder than vibranium?

I think someone on here said something about her living in a pocket dimension where she aged recently. At least theres an explanation bc I saw that cover and thought hte artist just drew her ugly

 

[KevanG]

Yep.

As far as I know, besides some Celestial or Galactus tech, Adamantium is the hardest thing out there.

Vibranium can be melted into things, you can break off chunks of it and anything else while Adamantium is pretty much forever once it's set.
