Force of Nature is a supervillain team that formed in the 1990s as foes to the New Warriors superhero squad. They’re a group of superhumans hired by an ecoterrorist organization called “Project: Earth” to protect the environment through any means necessary. For instance, killing loggers who are destroying the rainforest. Basically, they’re like if the Planeteers were evil. Fast forward to the 2000s and the events of Civil War, and even though Project Earth is no longer around, Force of Nature still is. Norman Osborn (yes, that one!) is in charge of all matters regarding the Superhuman Registration Act. To this end, he recruits super-villains, has them register, and thus become “super-heroes” in the 50-State Initiative (in which SHIELD assigns one group of registered superhumans to protect each state) Force of Nature was a part of this, and were assigned as the state squad for Oregon. During “the Siege of Asgard” story, Osborn sent them along with the Dark Avengers and other state teams, to attack Asgard, which resulted in the death of Terraformer. The remaining team members were then imprisoned after the 50 States Initiative was abolished. Presumably they remain there for now, but who knows when they could re-emerge! Force of Nature follows the theme of the classical four elements, with each team member representing one. Aireo aka Skybreaker, possesses wind-related powers. He’s an Inhuman, hailing from the city of Attilan, where he was both a political rebel as well as a thief. He worked first with a group of fellow rebellious Inhumans who opposed the Royal Family, and then for Maximus the Mad. At some point, he either left Attilan by choice or was exiled. He was next seen among Force of Nature, sporting the codename of Skybreaker. Though his powers had originally merely been those of levitation/flight, he has gained the power to summon and control wind by the time he joined Force of Nature, even being able to take the breath from someone’s very lungs. He has stuck with the team ever since, and despite his dislike of humans, may even have some loyalty to them, given that he rioted during prison to gain better treatment for Terraformer…then again, Terraformer isn’t human at all, so maybe that’s why. Aireo has a longer article HERE. Peter Van Zante aka Aqueduct, formerly known as Water Wizard, can control liquids, mainly water. He’s an ex-soldier who was wounded in Vietnam, and gained his powers over liquid when the experimental ray used to stabilize him was struck by lighting while he was on a medical ship at sea during a typhoon. He started as a solo criminal who called himself the Water Wizard, but was unfortunate enough to go up against Ghost Rider, which landed him a sanatorium due to the mental trauma. After a stint working for an Arabian sheikh, he wound up with Force of Nature. He broke with them for a bit to work in other groups, such as the Masters of Evil and the Thunderbolts, but was back with the Force of Nature by the time of the 50 States Initiative. He has a longer post HERE. Terraformer, who represents Earth, has no alias. This is because he’s not human. The Marvel villain Plantman, aka Samuel Smithers, had plant-related powers, as you might guess. Terraformer is one of the Plantman’s plant-constructs that gained sentience and a life of its own. By some means, he took on a human guise (the dark-haired man in the first picture) but this was burned away by Firestar during Force of Nature’s first battle with the New Warriors. He has since not tried to hide his true state, that of a plant-like monster-man (the other pictures. Out of all his teammates, Terraformer seems to truly care the most for the environment, for understandable reasons, and he requires plants around him to maintain his health and sanity. During the Siege of Asgard, he was chopped in half, and is presumed dead, though given his vegetable nature he might have survived. There have been a few different representatives of fire on Force of Nature, but Min Li Ng aka Firewall, later known as Silk Fever, was the original. She hails from Cambodia, and it was originally believed that her pyrokinetic powers were caused by exposure to an experimental napalm during Vietnam War. Later, however, it was revealed to her that her abilities are actually the result of her mother being a member of a Cambodian cult called The Dragon’s Breadth that honed their mystical abilities via selective breeding. Upon learning this, she joined The Folding Circle, a group composed of other children of this cult, and changed her codename to Silk Fever. She later joined the Thunderbolts, and was one of the 142 registered “superheroes” who appear on the cover of Avengers Initiative #1. As a note, she was called “Theary” as her civilian name in her first appearance, but when her true backstory was revealed, she was called Min Li Ng. Given that her powers were originally written as the result of the Vietnam War, it is possibly she was at first named after Theary Seng, a Cambodian activist whose work relates to such issues, and that her civilian name was changed to reflect her change in backstory/power origin. Kinda makes me wonder if she had any interesting conversations with Aqueduct, seeing as how both he and her father were Vietnam veterans? Force of Nature replaced their team pyro first with a man called Fireband (Russ Broxtel) shown in the second image, and then a woman named Sunstreak (Andrea Roarke) shown in the third, but I don’t know much about them aside from the fact that Captain America considered Sunstreak the only member of Force of Nature who deserved a second chance. I like Force of Nature, sporadic and obscure as their appearances are, and hope to see them crop up again in the future!

Disaster Movies Like San Andreas

Dwayne Johnson’s 2015 blockbuster movie San Andreas is about a series of massive earthquakes around the San Andreas Fault. Johnson plays a rescuer who enlists wife Emma, played by Carla Gugino, to rescue daughter Blake played by Alexandra Daddario.

San Andreas is an American disaster movie written by Carlton Cuse and directed by Brad Peyton. The film stars Carla Gugino, Dwayne Johnson, Ioan Gruffudd, and Alexandra Daddario. San Andreas received a mixed review from critics, though it grossed $474 million worldwide.

The movie is a commercial hit, and audiences praised the performances and visual effects of the film. This article will try to list some disaster movies the same intensity as Sam Andreas.

The Core (2003)

The Core is an American science fiction disaster movie directed by Jon Amiel. It stars Hilary Swank, Aaron Eckhart, Stanley Tucci, Alfre Woodard, and Bruce Greenwood. The film focuses on a team and their mission to drill the Earth’s center with a series of nuclear explosions to restart Earth’s core rotation.

The plot revolves around a Geophysicist Dr. Josh Keyes, played by Aaron Eckhart, and scientists Dr. Conrad Zimsky, played by Stanley Tucci, and Dr. Serge Leveque, played by Tcheky Karyo. They become aware of the instability of Earth’s magnetic field. The team discovered that the Earth’s molten core has stopped rotating, and the field will collapse within a year, which will result in exposing the planet directly to the solar radiation. A team of experts is sent to drill the center of the planet and set off a nuclear explosion to restart its rotation. The movie is aware of its B-movie plot and ludicrous setting, yet it is fun to watch such science fiction with lofty visuals.

The Wave (2015)

The Wave is a Norwegian disaster film directed by Roar Uthaug. The film was officially submitted for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film but failed to be nominated. The film depicts a future event in which Akerneset crevasse collapses in More og Romsdal. The sequel of the film titled The Quake, directed by John Andreas Andersen, was released after three years of the original one’s release.

The movie’s screenplay starts with an experienced geologist, Kristian Eikjord, who is having the final day of his duty in the Norway tourist destination Geiranger. He is planning to shift to Stavanger with his family. After the farewell fest with his colleagues, the monitoring station’s sensors indicate that the groundwater has disappeared. And the story then further unfolds. It leads to a forecasted tsunami that was caused by an avalanche.

The Wave focuses on family drama, and the title is smartly chosen as “wave,” indicating the future event to illustrate the trauma. The film is genuinely effective and presents a gut-punching pay-off.

Volcano (1997)

Volcano is an American disaster movie produced by Neal H. Moritz, Andrew Z. Davis and Luren Shuler Donner, while Mick Jackson is the director of the film. The storyline of the movie starts in Los Angeles when an earthquake strikes the city. The director of the city’s Office of Emergency Management, Michael Roark, played by Tommy Lee Jones, insists on helping out with the crisis. Emmit Reese, his associate, reports that the earthquake caused no significant damage, though seven utility workers were later burned to death at MacArthur Park. The management realized the threat of magma activity arriving from La Brea Tar Pits, and it became too late to protect the city. Roark and his team decided to divert the lava flow to the city street. Billy Ray and Jerome Armstrong write the screenplay of the film. Along with Jones, the movie stars Anne Heche, Keith David, and Don Cheadle.

It was amazing watching the movie despite some flaws in the screenplay. And the lava sequences depict the man versus nature scenario.

The Quake (2018)

The Quake is the sequel to the 2015 movie titled The Wave, released on 31 August 2018. Director John Andreas Andersen directed both the movies. The film’s plot starts a year after the accident of landslide in Geiranger, and a geologist named Kristian Eikjord is preparing a talk show. He is hailed in the show as a hero for saving hundreds of lives. The story grows, and the city of Oslo is alerted for an 8.5 magnitude earthquake. And once again, Eikjord has to deal with altered phenomena with family.

The two films are incredible, and it brilliantly depicts the core family drama placed in a disaster sequence, while keeping the disaster storytelling in the center. The movie holds an 84% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 37 reviews, with an average of 6.73/10. The Quake received The People’s Amanda Awards for Best Visual Effects in the 2019 Amanda Awards.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

The Day After Tomorrow is an American science fiction disaster movie, directed, produced, and co-written by Roland Emmerich. The film is based on a book named The Coming Global Superstorm written by authors Whitley Strieber and Art Bell. The film depicts the catastrophic environmental and climatic changes that follow the disruption of the North Atlantic Ocean circulation and results in extreme weather changes that lead to a new ice age. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Dennis Quaid, Emmy Rossum, Ian Holm, and Sela Ward. The Day After Tomorrow hits the marks of Roland Emmerich’s movie and depicts the ludicrous science. The above are a few disaster movies that you might enjoy on your weekends.

HOW TO HOOK UP IN VEGAS ACCORDING TO A SERVER, A BARTENDER, AND A STRIPPER

The dance club

Andrea Pintozzi fills in as a mixed drink server at Chateau, a prevalent dance club at the Paris resort and gambling club. It's a place that attracts appealing ladies tight dresses who are prepared to drink, move, and perhaps, meet the correct person.

"Las Vegas is unquestionably not the same as different urban areas for dating. The city never rests. You can go out and drink whenever. Individuals begin to get wrapped up in the way of life. They have lovely individuals available to them so dating begins to get a little hard in light of the fact that it just moves toward becoming connecting rather than a genuine thing. So you truly need to weed individuals out to locate that great individual and be tolerant.

"There are a wide range of individuals who come to town from all kinds of different backgrounds," says Andrea. "In the event that they see a person flying off a great deal of jugs, they may think 'Gracious, who is he? What's he doing?' Some may think he has a great deal of cash. So for a person, I believe it's an extraordinary thing for attaching," she snickers. "In the event that I was a person, that is presumably what I would do."see more: Las Vegas Escorts

"You're not so much paying for the jug. You're paying for the introduction," Andrea proceeds. "The young ladies (who work at Chateau) will turn out with sparklers and confetti and make a major to-do as such everyone in the club knows you just purchased a jug."

"I wouldn't utilize the words 'hot' or 'attractive'," prompts Andrea. "I think ladies get a kick out of the chance to hear they look excellent or lovely. Utilizing those words rather talks with somewhat more volume when giving a compliment."

"You generally need to welcome her companions, as well," Andrea proceeds. "By welcoming her companions, she feels great and after that everybody has a decent time. She accompanied her companions, so she's leaving with her companions. On the off chance that you welcome every one of them over, your chances are way better."

Main concern to connecting: Spend heaps of cash on bottle administration and welcome your potential hookup - and her companions - back to your table. In the event that that is out of your financial plan, simply present yourself and pay them a compliment that doesn't influence you to resemble a novice. All things considered, get bottle benefit.

The bar

Sandra Roark, a barkeep, plays direct observer to the (fizzled) snare ups that occur each night at Rhumbar, a ultra-relax tucked off the clubhouse floor of the Mirage

"It's an exceptionally agreeable, comfortable setting," Sandra calls attention to. "Our porch is set up with lounge chairs, and it's extremely unwinding. So it's an awesome place on the off chance that you are attempting to discover someone. There is a move floor however you can likewise hang out, talk and become acquainted with each other."

Tragically, most folks wind up beginning with similar things: "How are you?" and "Where are you from?" And with the opposition to connect in Vegas typically savage, a person can be immediately neglected and overlooked if he's seeming to be excessively arrogant and fizzling, making it impossible to be honest to goodness.

"There's a great deal of single individuals," says Sandra in regards to life in Sin City. "There's a considerable measure of gorgeous, appealing individuals. Enticement is high so it only sort of increases current standards for everything."

She sees that folks will excitedly hit on lone rangeress parties since it's a substantial pool to draw from, yet it's not generally the best thought. The young ladies will frequently simply exploit the folks to get free beverages in the middle of visits to the move floor.

Main concern to connecting: Be understanding and don't depend on conversation starters. In any case, the vast majority of all, be bona fide and give who you're chatting with. Additionally compliment her shoes.

The strip club

"Sarah," who asked we utilize a phony name, is a previous fascinating artist at Sapphire Gentlemen's Club. She'd depict the dating scene in Vegas as sparse because of its transient nature.

"We support connecting here finished real connections and dating," she says, refering to the acclaimed "What Happens Here, Stays Here" publicizing effort. "It's not a place where individuals date as genuinely as they do in different urban communities."

What's more, she would think about male-female collaborations. As a standout amongst the most well known, and biggest, strip clubs in Vegas, the setting saw no lack of ladies in the gathering of people.

"Sapphire is one of only a handful couple of strip clubs in Vegas that gives young ladies a chance to come in without folks. At a great deal of them, you're required to have a male escort since they fear whores endeavoring to get customers there."

Sarah saw a great deal of cooperations go down, the majority of which included gatherings of folks meeting unhitched female gatherings and getting them beverages and lap moves, planning to score. Now and then it worked, once in a while it didn't. Be that as it may, all the more vitally, shouldn't something be said about the single folks hoping to meet a representative? Is it conceivable to hit on one of the artists and proceed with the relationship outside the club?

"A standout amongst the most irritating things as an artist is the point at which somebody comes in and requests that you go out with them soon thereafter. 'Go to the club with me' or 'No, I would prefer not to move however I'd love to take you out on the town.' It's relatively similar to they don't understand that you're grinding away."

"One of the most noticeably bad things I at any point heard was the point at which I was strolling by the bar and some person stated, 'Gracious I just called you'," Sarah reviews. "I stated, 'How could that be? You don't have my number. I've never observed you in my life,' and he resembled 'No, I just called your promotion.' Apparently he was confused me for an escort."

"The best thing is really talking like an ordinary individual. Being certified is by a long shot the most ideal approach to get a young lady in that kind of industry. It is safe to say that she is as yet investing energy with you notwithstanding when you are not burning through cash? Furthermore, would you say you are having a genuine discussion? Is there real criticism backpedaling and forward or is it just you talking while she's gesturing her head?"

Review: 'Chained' establishes Marlon Kazadi as one to watch

Review: '#Chained' establishes Marlon Kazadi as one to watch

Abuse comes in cycles and is often passed from one generation to the next. Thus it is in Chained, which sees a boy with an abusive father hold another man captive. Yes, that’s the whole movie. It’s pretty good, too. (more…)
