AVENGERS WORLD! Part 4!

The first of three issues introducing us to three of the most crucial “new” characters!

First Up: Hyperion!

A hero born a world away, in more ways than one! Who exactly is this powerhouse of the Marvel Universe?

AVENGERS #4! Let’s find out!

The Hand just...kinda does what the hand wants, huh?

But basically this issue focuses on the Avengers tracking down and dealing with the five (six? Seven??) sited that Ex Nihilo grossified during the first arc, just in case anyone needs a quick reference point for where we’re at

I love that, immediately, they let us know that Hyperion is not just some stereotype. He’s got the brawn and the brain

Oh just a land of usually wasted potential, you’ll love it!

Oh just a land of usually wasted potential, you’ll love it!

We love a good Superman homage. But I need to know, how similar is this to Hyperions that we’ve seen in the past? I know there’s been several iterations of the character. Anyone willing to break those down for me then please, be my guest

Three stringent codes...with very little room for error...

And I think that they’re supposed to really play into the themes of this issue. I admit that I don’t think I’ve wrapped my mind around it completely, but I think this issue is supposed to depict that, despite being seen as a Hero, Hyperion rarely felt like a person—

Lines talking about how he could see electrons, see relationships but his that in his heart, the Hyperion that was seemed distant and a little cold.

And I think this issue is about how he learned to start being human, and we’ll see how in just a little bit

That being said, If anyone else, especially anyone more seasoned with Hyperion than I, has any different interpretation then I would love to hear it!

Also, lol, feel like I have more questions than answers this thread but I need some help IDing the other characters in these two panels. Any help at all would be appreciated!

Nat: This place could be dangerous, don’t touch anything!

Jessica: Pft, no problem!

Also Jessica...one panel later: T O U C H

I would dig a Red and Black Carol suit in CM2, not gonna lie

If I was cinema sins rn...that would be a +1

*Ding*

Lol “it is like vodka...but for MEN”

Also Thor is 100% hitting on Hyperion, you can’t convince me otherwise. Look at his eyes!

It’s a funny moment but also another that I feel adds to that possible theme. Because things like drinking are beneath Hyperion, yet not beneath an ACTUAL god like Thor. He comes off as more distant and robotic than an actual god...and that’s the point I think

Who the **** INTERNS AT AIM???

Does Hydra offer work studies? DOES THE BROTHERHOOD OF EVIL MUTANTS OFFER COURSE CREDITS???

YOU ARE AN UNPAID INTERN! WHAT THE—

Yeah, well, so is Doctor Doom but you wouldn’t catch me dead getting a Flu shot in Latveria!!!

Yeah, yeah, scary translucent skin, whatever...

What the **** is your ID BADGE?!?!

Oh, well that explains everything then...

Oh, well that explains everything then...

If you’re anything less than a Kryptonian, no you look up and see these two looking down?

****

And we get the first reference to the Incursions in the main Avengers title! And Hyperion survived one!

But if anything...he serves as nothing but a loving reminder that yeah...these incursions are SERIOUS business!

He held two earths apart for as long as he could...holy mother of all feats, Batman!

And gif damn I love this...the man so strong that not even the end of the universe could end him...incredible

“Ask Mjolnir what it thinks of your diplomatic immunity”

Is it too late to get Hyperion in the Avengers game? Because holy shit these two together...
