Marvel A to Z

The smartest minds in the Marvel Universe thought they could control the future—but at what cost? In this nearly three-hour deep dive, we unravel the history, power plays, and ultimate downfall of the Illuminati—the secret council that shaped the Marvel Universe from the shadows. From gathering the Infinity Stones to exiling the Hulk, from Civil War to Secret Wars, their impossible decisions changed everything… until it all came crashing down. Were they visionaries, or were they villains? And what happens when the people who believe they have all the answers realize they can’t solve everything? Tune in for a breakdown of their greatest victories, their deepest regrets, and the philosophy that doomed them from the start.

After a multi-year hiatus (oops!) we return in a grand fashion with a nearly two hour episode detailing the life, tragedy, and psychological condition of the Incredible Hulk! As one of the most iconic comic book heroes of all time, there are decades upon decades of stories to pull from to truly uncover the mystery of the strongest Avenger. What does it take to be considered the Hulk’s “friend?” What environment does he feel most at-home in? And which of Hulk’s many stories dive the deepest into his severely damaged psyche? Simple: just tune into Marvel A-Z to find out! 

This is the show's very first, long format, conversational bonus episode.  Me and Casey Finley (previously appearing on episode #5) discuss a number of Marvel related topics ranging from Spider-Man's villains and greatest moments, future MCU projects like Fantastic Four and Wanda Vision, and much, much more.

We study the history of the Ghost Rider, his endless mission to be free, and some of his greatest tricks and most crushing defeats. As a Spirit of Vengeance, Johnny Blaze is well placed to take on the spiritual and other-worldly foes that other heroes just wouldn't stand a chance against. Listen to this week's episode to discover the extent of his power, the people the spirit inhabits, and what impossible task the Ghost Rider has been assigned in his latest stories.

We dive into Falcon's history, his personality, his powers and abilities, and so much more. Sam Wilson / Falcon was a historically significant character from the day of his inception, but as the Falcon & Winter Soldier approaches, his cultural impact grows evermore.  Mex-Men Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mex-men/id1462015242

We have our first guest on the show to discuss the Eternals. A timeless, cosmically powerful group put on earth by the Celestials whose motivations have wavered since their introduction in the 70s. Where have the Eternals been, what have they done, and where are they now? All that and more are answered this week on Marvel A to Z!

We explore the origin of one of the longest-standing Marvel villains, his endless quest(s) for power, and why his rivalry with the Fantastic Four makes so much sense. 

We explore why Carnage is an agent of chaos, whether or not there’s anything more to his motivations and so much more this week on... Marvel A-Z!

We discuss the origin of Ser Percy, the villainous Nathan Garret, and the heroism of Dane Whitman- a lineage of Black Knights!

We jump into the origin, background, life, and maybe even the philosophical underpinnings of the Ant-Man!
