ohhh what if Mandarin managed to create another ooze clone Chiro, but this time infused with Power Primate energy, to have as an evil sidekick. He's a lil drippy bc the ooze is unstable but he's a solid minion.

There's a thing I've noticed concerning Mei and her family that kind of bothers me. Specifically how the fandom interprets their relationship. At best people write the parents as distant and slightly overbearing, at worst they are abusive and controlling.

This is not how they are depicted in the show. "Coming Home" was all about Mei truly connecting with her family and its heritage. Her mother tells her that even though they don't always understand each other Mei's parents love her no matter what. And that while all of the broken artifacts are things that can be replaced, Mei is not.

You even see in "Great Grand Dragon of the East" that family is more important than anything to the Dragon clan. It's implied through her words to Ao Guang that one of Mei's motivations this season is saving her parents who she had to leave behind. Ao Guang faces off against Macaque even though he's clearly afraid of LBD and her minions just so his grand niece and her friends can escape. None of the family members we see on screen are cruel or evil to her and it's frankly bizarre that the fandom has collectively decided they are.

I understand wanting to head cannon the older characters like Wukong, Macaque, Pigsy, etc as mentors/secondary parental figures to Mei but to justify it by demonizing her actual parents is just kind of gross.

(On a side note while looking at the wiki to double check some things it lists Mei's parents names as Mr and Mrs Dragon. In the Mandarin dub their names are Mr and Mrs Long, which makes sense because Long means dragon. But does that make Mei's full english name Mei Dragon? That is really funny to me.)

Yellow Emperor's Sword (2012) 春光灿烂之欢乐元帅

Director: Li Huimin Screenwriter: Zhang Tan / Gu Man / Zhu Yili / Fan Xiaotian / Xu Shalang Starring: Charlene Choi / Gillian Chung / Leo Kee Ku Genre: Drama Country/Region of Production: Mainland China Language: Mandarin Chinese Date: 2012-01-07 (Mainland China) Number of episodes: 48 Single episode length: 45 minutes Also known as: Happy Marshal of Brilliant Spring / Happy Marshal IMDb: tt2473962 Type: Reimanging

Summary:

This is a mythical and legendary comedy. In the ancient East, there was a beautiful village rich in "celestial silkworms", and everyone lived a leisurely life in a paradise. Tmall Girl (played by Zhong Xintong) escaped here because she stole the elixir of Taishang Laojun (played by Han Zhenhua). When she discovered such a fairyland, she became greedy. She put herself into Miaomiao's body and planned to occupy the village. Taibai Jinxing (played by Guo Jinan) came to Zhujiajiao to chase the cat demon, and was rescued by a piglet during a fight with the cat demon. In order to repay the favor of saving his life, he let the piglet sneak into the owner's body and become a human for one day, and named him Zhu Tianshuai (played by Leo Ku) ). Little Dragon Girl (Charlene Choi), who came to the world to repay her kindness, met Zhu Tianshuai and mistakenly thought she was his benefactor and fell in love at first sight. The cat demon is almost exhausted due to the loss of the golden elixir. She drains the blood of the villagers to replenish her physical strength, and the villagers whose blood she has sucked all become her minions. Seeing the cat demon wreaking havoc, Little Dragon Girl and Zhu Tianshuai decided to get rid of her...

Cape-Watch Monthly Bulletin- April 2023

Hey, y’all! This is your host, Christina Cabello, welcoming all of you back to another Cape-Watch Monthly Bulletin! April may have the day of fools, but it also brings many new challenges for our favourite heroes, some of which are detailed under the cut!

Far-Flung Future Fighters

Our first story marks the second time that the world has been made aware of the superhero group known as The Guardians of the Cosmos, the self-proclaimed ‘greatest heroes of the 31st century’, a group of humanoid superheroes who last appeared in mid-February to whisk away the Guardians of the Globe on a still unknown mission to their time. In the two months since their last appearance, very little information has been learned about this mysterious group, leading some to wonder if their claims are indeed true, and that they are time travellers from some far-off future Earth.

This time, however, the group did not require the aid of any present heroes. They suddenly appeared in downtown Singapore, hot on the heels of some sort of large reptilian creature that was busy wreaking havoc on the city-state. From what staff at the newspaper that spoke Malay and Mandarin were able to translate from local social media posts about the incidents, it seems that several members of the group were also present when the Guardians disappeared for three weeks.

Naturally, this reappearance has sparked a social media frenzy around them, which was only fuelled by the bevy of new information that was learned. For example, we now know several of their names, such as Robot 10 (perhaps a descendant of the current Robot), Miss Viltrum, Gigantic Lad, Magna-Boy, Madame Mist and Bow-Bot. While perhaps a touch more generic than the aliases we in the present are used to, their skills speak for themselves: the group managed to subdue the wild creature, which they call a ‘Blorfkorl’, in a matter of minutes, before vanishing almost as quickly as they appeared.

So yeah, one of those stories.

Prison Break

Our next story is definitely a cause for concern. Last week, the government supermax prison known as Stronghold Penitentiary was breached by the earth-shattering supervillain Doc Seismic, which caused the impromptu release of some of America’s most notorious superpowered criminals. The total number of escapees is still unknown, but from this statement by US government liaison Peter Schlottman, it’s not looking good:

‘I won’t sugar-coat this: this breakout has the potential to be one of the greatest national security crises that the US has experienced since the Cold War. As we speak, all available police and military are being placed on standby in the event of a major supervillain attack near Chicago or any other densely populated. Under the advice of a special counsel, the Governor of Illinois has decided to temporarily enforce martial law upon the state until this issue can be safely resolved. We have also mobilised every available superhero into the efforts to locate and recapture the escaped villains. In the meantime, I wish for the public to know that we will not rest until they can sleep soundly once again.’

Some of the most notable names among the many escaped villains include members of the infamous Order, such as the gargantuan Octoboss, who made his escape with the assistance with several of his Squidmen minions, as well as the Irish crime lord Slaying Mantis, who is expected to make an attempt to get back to his home country. A more surprising escapee is the pernicious performer Orchestro, who used his hypnotic singing voice to coral several other villains into helping him. Look out for that one, California.

A Field Day for Monsterfuckers

And for our last story... I’m sure you can guess who this is about from the title.

For those of you who are still in the dark, I refer of course to the Californian mystic Magic Man. Ever since his reveal of his demonic heritage and the many abilities that come along with that fact, the hero has proven a favourite with those among us who prefer romantic with less than perfectly humanoid physiques. Over the past few months alone, multiple pictures have surfaced of the San Diego Sorcerer displaying many demonic traits, from elongated fangs and a pair of what appear to be ram horns to a long spiked tail and even a large pair of flaming wings. Points for creativity.

Another vocal supporter of Magic Man’s powers of transformation is none other than Multi-Paul, his boyfriend. When asked about his love life, the former teen hero had this to say:

‘Oh, I am living the dream! I mean, ever since I watched Gargoyles as a kid, I’ve been into that kind of stuff! And now I’m living with a guy who can do all that plus magic? You’ll get no complaints from me!’

The most recent event to send this specific internet subculture into a frenzy, however, happened a little over two weeks ago, when Magic Man fought against the stage magic themed villainess known as Miss Direction. In response to her summoning a giant snake from a playing card, the wizard decided to transform himself into what can only be described as a full-blown demon, complete with razor-sharp teeth, a pair of sturdy goat-like hooves, and colossal flaming angel wings. After dispatching the large reptile and defeating Miss Direction, he chose to keep up the new form, flying off instead of teleporting as he usually does. Needless to say, the internet was into that.

And that’s all for this month, folks! Once more, a big thanks to our sponsors, who keep the lights on around here! Also, a fair warning: due to some hectic assignments I’ve been given, I might not have the time to get the May or June editions out, so bear that in mind! And finally, always remember to stay safe, stay hydrated, and tune in next time for more of the biggest superhero stories around!

I’m moderately surprised that Soundwave doesn’t get femme-coded more: we’re talking a character who (at least G1) carries a brood of minions around in an internal cavity. (Also, have you ever heard the Mandarin dub? They play the character as a declamatory Beijing Opera baritone,)

I see him get femme-coded often enough but it's much more interesting to me when he isn't for this exact reason.

Let Soundwave be a nurturing dude 2k23!!!

My fics were also originally based in the continuity (IDW1) where the cat and the birds are his fully sapient adult friends, and the cat, Ravage, is another neurodivergent person who helped him deal with his own neurodivergence. In my fic'verse, Ravage is Soundwave's conjunx (romantic partner/spouse) and they do fun things with his telepathy, and their complementary sensory acuities and sensory processing disorders. Not all of which are even smut!

In IDW1, the four of them were forcibly converted to host and cassettes by a Senator who had it in for them. Rumble and Frenzy, also forcibly cassettified, are Megatron's batch siblings, and actually older than Soundwave or Ravage are. They're pranksters, and often childish, because who is going to mess with one of Soundwave's team that is also Megatron's brother? XD

I have not heard the Mandarin dub but that is hilarious.

Master Jiangshi (Villainous Oc)- Chi Sage’s Archnemesis

Name: Chan Shoi-Ming DOB: April 7 Sexuality: Straight Age: Chronologically early 50's; Biologically early 30's Headcannon Voice Actor: James Sie (English); Ricardo Mendoza (Spanish) Ethnicity: Chinese-American Residence: San Bahia Occupation: Supervillain; Taoist Sorcerer Species: Human (formerly); Jiangshi Abilities: Jiangshi Abilities; Martial Art Skills; Taoist Magic; Medical Knowledge Personality: He is a very polite and well-mannered figure despite being a villain. He tends to give his enemies some form of common curtesy before any battle ensues. He also can be very sensitive about his childhood disease and doesn't like to talk about it. He also holds a grudge against the villain who killed Chi Tiger and Chi Sage due to them being his archenemies. He always had respect for them and seeing them cut down before he could makes him feel hollow. He still enjoys being their son's archenemy but feels the boy has a lot to learn until he can achieve their level. He hates those that are rude to him and will whack them if they need to be put in line. He also tends to be a neat freak and has an obsession with keeping things clean. He likes to also show off his knowledge about medicine and Taoist magic. He has an obsession with how to cheat death through the methods he has found through becoming a jiangshi. Background: He was originally a man inflicted with a childhood disease that would cause him to die by the time he was in his thirties. He then dedicated himself to finding a cure or a way to stave off the disease. As a result, he got into martial arts, medicine, and finally Taoist magic. He then turned himself into a Jiangshi and finally staved off his disease. He would then become obsessed with furthering pushing against death, getting into the villain scene, and become an arch enemy of Chi Tiger and Chi Jade, Chi Sage's parents. He would then become a member of the Black Hat Organization. He would long feud with them until their untimely death by another villain. He would still do his activities but this time against Chi Sage who would trade blows just as his parents even as he switched from PEACE to the White Hat Organization. Create through picrew.me/ja/image_maker/6324 * He practices Taoism in contrast with the Chi's practicing Buddhism. * He has ties with the League Of League Of Langgan * He also has ties with Mother Poltergeist who he is good friends with her. * He's also interested in the Umbras like Penumbra and Nuclear Zombies like Coyote. * He also knows Lady Naga through team ups. * He loves drinking tea. * He also loves noodles. * He can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. * He has minions he's turned into Jiangshi.

For the Self Insert ask game: 2, 3, 10, 11, 12 and 14 for ur LMK S/I . . . NOW 🐵👊💥 (/lh) don't feel pressured to answer all of these, ik it's a lot HAJSKFHGJF</3

Just send me the whole thing next time /lh

2. when in canon does your self insert come in? do you have a scene in mind for your entrance?

Early in Season 1, actually! Maybe between Episode 5 and 6, I haven’t thought about it yet. But in Season 1, for sure.

3. how do the other characters generally feel about your self insert?

Well, it depends. At first, she wasn’t fully trusted due to the fact that she becomes friends with one of the Demon Bull family’s minion (y’know, your LMK OC, the one you should talk about 💢). Eventually they open up to her and accept her as part of the gang. Probably the most ‘normal’ out of them all SDKJFKDS

10. how do the other characters feel about your self insert and f/o’s relationship?

Again, it depends! This time, depends in which ship of the three you’re talking LMAO. But in general, two of them are overall seen as cool, while the last one probably has to be kept a a secret for some time (oooh the drama).

11. what kind of outfit(s) does your self insert wear?

Pretty common stuff, really. Whatever she finds comfortable! Althought she seems to favor clothes with pastels colors, earth tones and/or the Moon imprinted somewhere.

12. how would the fandom view your character?

Maybe confusion? There’s already a Moon-coded character (Macaque) that is actually in the novel, so why is there ANOTHER one-- and a minor character, she isn’t even part of the main cast smh /lh.

My explanation for giving her the Moon imagery even if there’s already a character like that: I like the Moon🧍‍♂️ (?).

Also, the Moon has many phases! Each phase can mean something different. Or just how each one can represent the Moon, I actually have thought about this. We can have the Moon trio now 🌒🌕🌙 (Macaque, Chang’e and Cyn) /j.

14. what hobbies does your self insert have?

Reading, for starters! Mostly just to enjoy stories, but also books to improve her Mandarin because boi she knows so little🗿. Which relates to her sometimes asking her friends how to say certain words or how to write others- and let’s not get into the reading lol.

Besides the whole language learning, Cyn likes singing- when she’s alone, at least. She’s very shy in that regard, and get her to sing for you is going to be difficult. She also likes playing classic games from time to time, such as dominoes and parchís (yes she brought a box with her).

Overall, in a new city where she knows no one, she likes being with others.

Retro NCS + Universes - Whirlwind

Retro NCS + Universes – Whirlwind

Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. Today we finish our look back at the Red Onslaught wave by looking at Wasp’s stalker, Whirlwind. I always liked the design of Whirlwind. I think it was the saws on his arms. For those that watched the Iron man cartoon of the 90’s he was one of the Mandarin’s minions so if you want to get it for that was well. I think we are only missing Whiplash and Hypnotica with…

Mandarin Rewrite

Idea for a rewrite if SRMTHFG ever got a reboot

Mandarin, instead of being a villain who becomes a minion of Skeleton after breaking out of prison, he’s a neutral gray. He still turned on the Hyperforce but not out for evil or selfishness, not self aware atleast. I want to try a different turn.

He thought he was doing the right thing, after so many years of fighting the Skeleton King he became more impatient, reckless. So bent on destroying the Skeleton King, he puts Shuggazoom at risk, forcing the monkeys to stop him. Years along in stasis, no one visiting him, trying to atleast reach out to him. The Dark One’s infect him(heard he may have been infected when he accidentally released them as a monkey), making him think they never cared and happy he’s gone. He’s now out and has only his purpose to give him a reason to keep going forward, destroy Skeleton King, he just won’t do it with their help. And won’t hesitate to attack if they get in his way again. Antauri-Mandarin you don’t have to do this, please just come back with us. We still care for you

Mandarin- Then why didn’t u say this to me, cycles earlier when I was in stasis?

Antauri-…

Mandarin-U were never a good liar Antauri. U all made it very clear when u left me to waste on the ship, that I’m not apart of the Force. U all seemed more than happy without me around. That’s fine by me, cause I don’t need u etheir. I NEVER DID! ILL BEAT SKELTON KING MYSELF AND THEN U NEVER HAVE TO SEE ME AGAIN!

Chiro-Don’t worry, the Hyperforce will save us

Mandarin-Wouldn’t count on it child

Chiro-They’d never leave one of their own behind!

Mandarin-They did it once.

What do u think? I’d love to know💖

Do u think the Hyperforce ever visited Mandarin while he was in stasis? I’m not sure they did. Do u think he was angry about that?

No; Mandarin was asleep and couldn't reply to them. And they launched him off-world, far into space for the sole purpose of keeping him away from them and Shuggazoom. Plus, they still had the sworn duty to protect the planet, they couldn't just leave.

And I think they knew at that point, that going would only anger Mandarin, something they didn't want to risk, since they probably knew he was a lost cause.

Mandarin said he always dreamt of the moment when he finally conquered the Monkey Team and Shuggazoom. He was that spiteful.

Man tho, do I miss our original Mandarin. He was so badass.... then Skeleton King turned him into a minion.... he deserved so much better

Black Bolt's first appearance established the character as being a member of the Inhuman ruling class.[4][5] The title Thor featured a back-up feature called "Tales of the Inhumans", which recounts the character's origin story. The son of King Agon and Queen Rynda, Black Bolt is exposed to the mutagenic Terrigen Mist while still an embryo, and eventually demonstrates the ability to manipulate electrons. To protect the Inhuman community from his devastating voice, Black Bolt is placed inside a sound-proof chamber and is tutored in the use of his powers. Reentering Inhuman society as a young man—having vowed never to speak—the character is attacked by his younger brother Maximus, who attempts, unsuccessfully, to goad him into speaking.[6]

Black Bolt proved popular, and decides to leave Attilan to explore the outside world.[7] The character reappears in a story focusing on his cousin Medusa,[8] drives off the Hulk after the monster defeats the entire Inhuman Royal Family (Medusa, Gorgon, Karnak, Triton, and Crystal),[9] and with the Fantastic Four, battles his brother Maximus and his own group of rogue Inhumans.[10]

1970sEdit

After being forced to intercede in the budding romance between his cousin Crystal and the Fantastic Four's Johnny Storm,[11] Black Bolt and the Inhumans feature in the title Amazing Adventures, and battle villains such as the Mandarin and Magneto.[12] A story in The Avengers, told in flashback, reveals how Black Bolt came to be ruler of the Inhumans and Maximus was driven mad. Black Bolt discovered his brother had secretly allied himself with the alien Kree—the race whose genetic experiments first created the Inhumans. In trying to stop an escaping Kree vessel, he overextended his sonic powers and caused the vessel to crash. The crash resulted in the deaths of several members of the Council of Genetics, including the brothers' parents, and Maximus was driven insane by his proximity to Black Bolt's use of his voice.[13] Black Bolt assumes the title of King but is haunted by the consequences of his actions.

Black Bolt settles a quarrel between Johnny Storm and the mutant Quicksilver for the affections of Crystal, and frees the slave caste of Inhuman society, the Alpha Primitives.[14] Black Bolt and the Royal Family aid the hero Spider-Man against the time-traveling villain Kang the Conqueror,[15] and is forced to again battle the Hulk,[16] teams with the Fantastic Four and the Avengers against the threat of the robot Ultron,[17] and again allies with the Fantastic Four against the fifth-dimensional villain Xemu.[18]

Black Bolt and the Inhumans feature in a self-titled bi-monthly series[19] battling threats such as the villain Blastaar and the Kree, who regard the Inhumans as abominations. The character encounters the immortal villain the Sphinx—who has defeated the Fantastic Four and the Royal Family blasting him into deep space,[20] aids Kree hero Captain Marvel in preventing a war between the Kree and Skrulls on Earth,[21] joins with Fantastic Four member the Thing to defeat the mutated villain Graviton,[22] and appears briefly during an announcement that Crystal is pregnant with Quicksilver's child.[23]

1980sEdit

Black Bolt revisits his origins when he, members of the Royal Family, and Fantastic Four members Mister Fantastic and the Thing battle the villain Maelstrom. Maelstrom is revealed to be the son of a rival of Black Bolt's father, and—after his minions are defeated—attempts to destroy Attilan with a guided missile. Black Bolt, however, manages to defuse the missile and Maelstrom is defeated.[24]

Black Bolt's search for a new site for the city of Attilan (eventually the Himalayas) is detailed in a back-up feature of the alternate universe title What If.[25] Another back-up feature in What If? details how Black Bolt worked with the Eternals to move the city of Attilan to the Himalayas.[26] Black Bolt also directed the eventual move of Attilan to the moon when the pollution on Earth became too much for the Inhumans.[27]

He is rated with other powerful Marvel characters by Spider-Man in an "out of universe" conversation with the reader.[28] He appears in a graphic novel detailing the eventual death of former ally Mar-Vell due to cancer,[29] He also appears in a one-shot publication featuring humorous parodies of the Marvel Universe - Fantastic Four Roast,[30] and aids superheroine Dazzler against the villain Absorbing Man.[31]

An alien device abandoned on the moon causes Black Bolt, the Royal Family, and the Fantastic Four to experience nightmares until destroyed by Triton.[32] Black Bolt is imprisoned by Maximus (who has also swapped their bodies), but he is freed by the Royal Family and the Avengers.[33] He appears in a one-shot title detailing several of Marvel's continuity mistakes.[34] He marries his cousin Medusa after an interrupting battle between a Kree and Skrull soldier.[35] He appears in another What If? issue[36] and a back-up tale in Marvel Fanfare.[37]

With the Royal Family, Black Bolt encounters Dazzler once again,[38] appears in flashbacks in two issues of The Avengers,[39] attempts to subdue an erratic Quicksilver (distraught over his wife's affair),[40] and aids the mutant team X-Factor in defeating Maximus.[41] The Inhumans then assist the Fantastic Four against the villain Diablo,[42] skirmish with a later version of the team during The Evolutionary War.[43] They also appear in the first issue of What If?'s second volume.[44]

Black Bolt clashes with Attilan's Genetic Council when they forbid the birth of the child he conceived with Medusa. She ends up fleeing to Earth to bear her son (Ahura).[45] Black Bolt destroys the alien symbiote that Spider-Man bonds with in another issue of What If?,[46] and with the Royal Family encounters the hero Daredevil.[47]

1990sEdit

After another appearance in a back-up feature in the title What If?[48] a story told in flashback reveals how Maximus, using a creation called the Trikon, forced Black Bolt from Attilan. Black Bolt, however, eventually defeats the Trikon and regains the throne.[49] After aiding the teen super group the New Warriors[50] the Royal Family joins forces with X-Factor to stop master villain Apocalypse.[51]

Black Bolt makes a series of brief guest appearances in several titles[52] and his child is threatened by rogue Inhumans. He and the Royal family break away from Attilan after rescuing his son from the corrupted Genetics Council.[53] After two more appearances in back-up features in the titles X-Factor[54] and Starblast,[55] Black Bolt appears in several panels in two titles[56] before starring in the one-shot publication Inhumans: The Great Refuge (May 1995), which details the Inhumans' ongoing battle with the Kree.

With the Royal Family, the Fantastic Four, and Doom's heir Kristoff Vernard, Black Bolt thwarts Morgan le Fay and Maximus again, battling Thor and Sub-Mariner in the process.[57][58] He appears with the Fantastic Four during the Onslaught crisis.[59] After appearing in the one-shot title Bug[60] Black Bolt and the Inhumans feature in the Heroes Reborn universe, where they worship the entity Galactus and his Heralds, as gods.[61]

The character encounters the noble savage Ka-Zar[62] and witnesses Quicksilver reunite with Crystal[63] before he and the Royal Family appear in a back-up feature in the Fantastic Four title.[64] Black Bolt and the Inhumans then feature in a self-titled limited series which deals with the "coming of age" of a new group of Inhumans and stopping Maximus, who with both human and Inhuman allies attempts to subvert his brother's rule.[65] After an appearance in the final issue of a Quicksilver limited series[66] Black Bolt and the Inhumans team with Canadian superteam Alpha Flight.[67]

2000sEdit

The character is featured—again with the Royal Family—in a third self-titled limited series that has major developments for the Inhumans. Ronan the Accuser leads the Kree in a surprise attack, capturing Attilan and forcing the Royal Family into service against Kree enemies the Shi'ar. Karnak, Gorgon, and Triton covertly join the Shi'ar Imperial Guard while Black Bolt and Medusa must attempt the assassination of the Shi'ar ruler Lilandra at a ceremony ratifying an alliance between the Shi'ar and the Spartoi. Although the attempt fails and Black Bolt manages to defeat Ronan in personal combat, the Inhuman people choose to leave with the Kree and pursue a new future. This leaves Black Bolt and the Royal Family alone to fend for themselves.[68]

Interdimensional adventurers the Exiles also encounter an alternate universe version of Black Bolt.[69] Black Bolt decides to attempt reintegration with Earth, and several younger Inhumans—recently exposed to the Terrigen Mists—explore Earth with mixed results, including at one stage the intervention of the Fantastic Four. The Inhumans resettle in the Blue Area of the Moon and begin to rebuild.[70] The character also appears briefly in the mutant title X-Statix[71] and a one-shot title, Inhumans 2099, speculates on the future of the Inhumans and their role on Earth.[72]

In the title New Avengers,[73] Black Bolt is revealed to be a member of a superhero council called the Illuminati. Via a retcon of Marvel continuity, the group form during the Kree-Skrull War[74] to deal with threats to Earth. During the "Son of M" storyline, the mutant Quicksilver steals a canister of Terrigen crystals from Attilan, with Black Bolt and the rest of the Royal Family attempting to retrieve it.[75]

Black Bolt also rejects the Superhuman Registration Act and refuses to become involved in the ensuing "Civil War." Courtesy of the hero Sentry, Black Bolt monitors the situation.[76] In the limited series Silent War, the US military attacks the Inhumans to prevent them from retrieving the crystals. Believing the stolen crystals should be returned to Attilan, Black Bolt issues a warning to the United States concerning further acts of aggression, and eventually launches an offensive against the nation. Gorgon and other Inhumans are captured during the attack, which prompts Black Bolt to personally head a team to rescue his subjects and retrieve the crystals. While the mission is successful, Maximus takes advantage of the situation and overthrows and temporarily incarcerates Black Bolt.[77]

The Illuminati also collect the Infinity Gems, and—to prevent the abuse of power by the Titan Thanos and others—split the gems between themselves, vowing that they never be used in unison again. Black Bolt is given the "Reality" gem.[78]

The character apparently suffers a setback when brutally beaten by the Hulk, on a rampage during the "World War Hulk" storyline and seeking revenge on Black Bolt for his role in the Hulk's exile from Earth.[79] During the events of the Secret Invasion limited series it is revealed that this was not in fact Black Bolt, but rather a Skrull, who is killed in battle by members of the Illuminati.[80][81] The true Black Bolt is captured by the Skrulls, who intended to use his voice as a weapon of mass destruction.[82] The character is rescued when the heroes of Earth defeat the Skrull army and discover the location of their captured teammates.[83]

Black Bolt, angered by the repercussions caused by the Skrull invasion, changes tactics and embarks on an aggressive campaign against all former persecutors of the Inhumans in the War of Kings limited series. At his command, the Inhumans attack the Kree and overthrow Ronan the Accuser, with Black Bolt declaring himself supreme ruler of the Kree Empire. This is followed by a preemptive strike from the Shi'ar empire, now controlled by the usurper Vulcan. Black Bolt intended to release the Terrigen Mist across the galaxy and end the war when, courtesy of the subsequent mutations, all are rendered equal, but the plan was interrupted by Vulcan, the two clashing as the bomb charged up. Although Vulcan was nearly killed by Black Bolt's voice, Black Bolt prepared to abandon his plan when Crystal pointed out that the powers produced by the explosion would only inspire more harm rather than good. However, an enraged Vulcan retained enough strength to stop Black Bolt from teleporting away with Crystal and Lockjaw, which resulted in Black Bolt and Vulcan apparently dying in the subsequent explosion of the Terrigen bomb, as Crystal only negated the Terrigen Mists within the bomb without shutting down its ability to explode.[84]

2010sEdit

He in fact survived the explosion. It was revealed that Black Bolt likely represents the anomaly of the Kree Inhuman genetics program that had been predicted hundreds of thousands of years ago. The genetic prophecy was that this anomaly would bring about the end of the Supreme Intelligence. To prevent this outcome, the Kree Supreme Intelligence had ordered the destruction of all the worlds where the genetic experiments took place. Only five colonies escaped, including Earth's: these were the Universal Inhumans. After his return to Attilan, Black Bolt joined the Universal Inhumans and was presented with four new brides, one from each of the other colonies.[85]

They returned to Earth to help defeat the last four Reeds of the Interdimensional Council.[86] They then faced the Kree Armada, who had been ordered by the resurrected Kree Supreme Intelligence to wipe out Earth and the Inhumans.[87][88] After the Kree fled in defeat, the Inhumans followed in pursuit.[89] Guided by Franklin Richards, Black Bolt confronted the Supreme Intelligence, surviving long enough to surrender and trigger protocols forcing terms of a truce. He convinced them that the prophecy has been broken, and that he was no longer a threat. They parted ways, but Black Bolt had to agree to Ronan (Crystal's husband) returning alone to the Kree domain.[90]

During the Infinity storyline, Black Bolt was visited by Thanos' Black Order in order to demand a tribute, the heads of Inhuman younglings between the ages of 16 and 22 or the annihilation of Earth's inhabitants. Using the Terrigen Codex, Black Bolt discovered Thanos used the tribute demand as a cover for his true mission: to kill his secret Inhuman-descendant son whose identity and location were unknown even by his father.[91] After the Inhumans denied the tribute to Corvus Glaive, Thanos personally visited Black Bolt in Attilan. Finding the Inhuman city empty with only Black Bolt left, Black Bolt unleashed a powerful scream which tore down Attilan itself and activated a Terrigen Bomb which spread the Mists across the Earth.[92] Thanos survived the attack and found Black Bolt still alive in the rubble. Thanos demanded to know the location of his son. Black Bolt refused and continued attacking Thanos with his voice until an enraged Thanos knocked him out.[93] Black Bolt was held captive for Thanos to use his power to activate the Illuminati's anti-matter bombs to destroy the Earth.[94] When the Illuminati arrived in the Necropolis, they found Thanos' general Supergiant, with Black Bolt under her control as she uses Black Bolt to defeat them. When Supergiant activated the bombs, Maximus appeared with the trigger. He triggered the bombs, but also used Lockjaw to transport the anti-matter bomb along with Supergiant to a distant uninhabited planet where she died in the explosion. Black Bolt was liberated and left the scene along with Maximus and Lockjaw. In the ancient location of Attilan in the Himalayas, Black Bolt hid the Terrigen Codex and made Maximus understand his survival and that of his brother were to be kept a secret. Maximus also deduced that Black Bolt was always going to activate the Terrigen Bomb irrespective of Thanos' arrival which was to herald a new age of the Inhumans.[95] After being examined by Maximus, Black Bolt discovered with his brother that the Terrigen Bomb had greatly diminished Black Bolt's powers. Black Bolt and Maximus agreed to keep this a secret.[96]

Using exogenetically charged waters, Maximus was able to help Black Bolt recover from the power loss he suffered after the detonation of the Terrigen Bomb.[97]

During the "Secret Wars" storyline, Black Bolt takes part in the incursion between Earth-616 and Earth-1610. He is taken out by the Children of Tomorrow.[98]

In the aftermath of the Secret Wars storyline, Medusa sends Nur and Auran to find Black Bolt who is forced by Maximus to use his voice against them, killing Auran.[99] Black Bolt and Medusa end up separating over his prolonged absence from Attilan.[100] Nonetheless, they team up to battle Kang the Conqueror for their son Ahura (Black Bolt had earlier given Ahura over to Kang for safe-keeping during the incursions). Unwelcome in Attilan, Black Bolt now runs the "Quiet Room," a nightclub that functions as a neutral zone for metahumans.[101] At one point, a resurrected Auran steals his voice, but it is restored with the help of Sterilon.[102]

During the "Death of X" storyline, Black Bolt is framed for the death of Cyclops.[103]

When the truce between the Inhumans and X-Men is broken during the Inhumans vs. X-Men storyline, Black Bolt is subsequently ambushed by Emma Frost and Dazzler in the Quiet Room. A disguised Dazzler is able to absorb the energy from his voice and counterattack him with it.[104] He is held captive by the X-Men in Forge's workshop in the dimension of Limbo until his rescue by Medusa and the Inhumans.[105] He helps Medusa neutralize Emma Frost. In the aftermath, there is hope of reconciliation between the Royal couple as she joins Black Bolt in the Quiet Room.[106]

Black Bolt and a group of Inhumans later tracked down Maximus and captured him for his trial. Black Bolt later spoke to Maximus privately.[107]

Marvel Boy later reveals that there is still hope to restore the Inhuman race on the remains of the Kree Homeworld, so the Royal family and a couple of new Inhumans journey to space to find the secret buried on Hala.[108]

However, they were soon confronted by two surprises: Medusa's affliction with a mysterious illness, and the revelation of Black Bolt as Maximus in disguise. Maximus had used his psychic powers and an image inducer to switch places with his brother before leaving Earth.[109] It was Black Bolt that was imprisoned in a deep space torture prison that was meant for Maximus. Upon defeating his fellow inmate Absorbing Man, Black Bolt confronted the as-yet-unidentified jailer. When his quasi-sonic no longer worked, Black Bolt was killed and revived.[110] Black Bolt later made acquaintances with Absorbing Man, Blinky, Metal Master, and Raava.[111] After discovering that the Jailer is an Inhuman who was incarcerated in the torture prison and has since taken over it, Black Bolt and his fellow inmates fight the Jailer. Absorbing Man sacrifices himself so that Black Bolt can kill the Jailer and enable his fellow inmates to escape.[112]

Black Bolt returns to Earth with Blinky. They inform Titania about her husband Crusher's heroic death.[113] At the funeral, Blinky is kidnapped by Lash.[114] He forces Black Bolt to surrender and injects him with a poison to prepare his blood to be used as part of a new Terrigen-type bomb that will produce new Inhumans. The pain of the process sends Black Bolt's mind towards Medusa's mind. They interact on a psychic plane and update each other. He finds out about Medusa's love for Gorgon and they determine that they cannot go back to their marriage. Instead, they will move forward and Medusa promises to find them as they get separated. Black Bolt breaks free only to succumb to the poison. Blinky tries to protect him, but turns into a monster channeling the Jailer.[115]

After an encounter with the Progenitors, Medusa and Black Bolt meet on the Astral Plane and agreed to continue as partners and not lovers. When Medusa takes the Primagen, it restores her hair and health while also causing a backlash in the attacking Progenitor to destroy the approaching Progenitors causing the Ordinator-Class Progenitors that saw the attack from the World Farm to spare Earth from their invasion.[116]

In the pages of "Death of the Inhumans," Black Bolt calls together the four Queens of the Universal Inhuman tribes to respond to this threat. However, the meeting goes far from as planned, as an Inhuman executioner named Vox, a Super-Inhuman created by the Kree, begins his bloody rampage across the place. When Black Bolt and his Royal Family reached the meeting place, they discover the bodies of Oola Udonta, Aladi Ko Eke, Onomi Whitemane and Goddess Ovoe, with the same three words written in their blood on a banner hanging about their corpses and eventually realized that they fell in to a trap as one of the dead Inhumans was wired with an explosive. While most of Black Bolt's group made it out alive, thanks to Lockjaw, Triton was not so lucky and was killed in the explosion. Black Bolt then sent Lockjaw to New Arctilan to retrieve his brother Maximus.[117] After Vox subdues Karnak, Black Bolt arrives where he walks through the halls of the Kree base speaking every name of the fallen Inhumans, making it a song about death. Eventually, it comes down to just Black Bolt and Vox who's holding Karnak as a shield. Black Bolt signs to Karnak to have Vox take him instead. Vox apparently accepts the change as he teleports himself behind Black Bolt. Before Karnak’s very eyes, Vox slits Black Bolt’s throat.[118] The Kree take Black Bolt prisoner and repair the damage done to his throat without using any sedatives or anesthesia to dull the pain which prompted them to think that Black Bolt's great power is gone when he doesn't scream and therefore the prophecy about the Midnight King is no longer a threat to the Kree. However while being transported, it turns out he still has his voice, but it's faint. After killing several Kree, Black Bolt secures a firearm and finds Ronan the Accuser alive. However, he is a prisoner of Vox and has been experimented on. At Ronan’s request, Black Bolt enables him a mercy killing.[119] The Inhuman Royal Family and Beta Ray Bill rescue Black Bolt from Vox. When Maximus was behind the mask of Vox, Black Bolt and the Inhuman Royal Family discover that Vox is not a Super-Inhuman and is just a Kree programming.[120] While recapping the deaths that Vox has caused, Black Bolt also recalls the prophecy of the Midnight King. Meeting up with the Inhuman Royal Family and Beta Ray Bill, Black Bolt is told by Karnak of Vox being a programming that transported his "victims" to the Kree. As Black Bolt has one more scream left, Karnak tells him to make it count. Using his sign language, Black Bolt addresses the others on how he has made mistakes in the past and apologizes to them. After holding a moment of silence, Black Bolt orders Gorgon to turn around. As Gorgon and Beta Ray Bill engage the Kree soldiers, Black Bolt, Medusa, and Lockjaw arrive at the laboratory where they find Vox-controlled Inhumans like Crystal and Lockjaw. Using a laser, Black Bolt clears the Vox-controlled Crystal and Lockjaw just because they were in his way. Entering one door, Black Bolt signs "I love you. I'm sorry" before whispering for them to run. As Medusa and Karnak fight the Vox-controlled Crystal and Lockjaw, Black Bolt confronts other Vox-controlled Inhumans like Triton. Knowing the truth about the prophecy, Black Bolt brings ruin to the Kree and unleashes his scream on the Vox-controlled Inhumans. This action frees Crystal and Lockjaw from Vox's control. Gorgon and Beta Ray Bill arrive stating that the Kree have fled and see Crystal and Lockjaw still alive. Black Bolt emerges from the room as Medusa orders Lockjaw to take them away from the Kree base. When Crystal asks where they should go, Black Bolt uses his sign language to say "home." Lockjaw then teleports them away.[121]

Black Bolt and other heroes die helping Dr. Strange fight Galactus, but all are resurrected after the battle is won.[122]
