Quasar

Who knows?

Let's not forget Quasar started off as Marvel Man, just saying before he changed his name to Quasar.

What is your first piece of viewer mail?

My first piece is from Timothy Markin.

Exactly.

We don't like these Johnny-come-latelys.

We don't like these people taking over identities and costumes, unless it's Quasar.

Okay.

Rumors, baby! Marvel's Phase 7 reportedly has nine movies, including Star-Lord, Nova, Silver Surfer, and Novar Team-Up.

Annihilus will reportedly be Nova's villain, with Gladiator and Quasar possibly appearing.

Now, that would be awesome to do, like, the cosmic phase, uh...

I don't love the idea of Chris Pratt getting more work.

minutes.

It feels like seconds since we've last spoken about Quasar.

And I would just like to say...

I was nice in terms of assigning part one of seven to you because some folks are getting the middle chapters where it's like, here's part four of this gigantic story arc.

Please do that.

All right, so issue 18.

Quasar shows up in his hometown of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and doesn't know why he's there.

I've been to Oshkosh, Wisconsin once in my life, too, and I didn't know why I was there either.

So the first Batman team up in B&B was with Green Lantern.

So it's Nighthawk and Quasar.

Then it's Nighthawk and Mephisto for Eclipso.

Then Quicksilver for the Flash.

He did a spender into Usurper and did all five off rip, and then did a builder into Angela and just did four.

Dazed her, and then I only had Shuri and King T on the bottom left lockdown jailbreak, and he still had Quasar and Moon Dragon on the other side of the field, and I just did not have the bodies to, um, build a tie there, and I lost that round.

If I had either, if I managed to build a tie or one of those models survive, I go on this round.

But, um, unfortunate timings with how, how the characters dazed there.

It does look like, uh, we have some of the teams that are there.

No max health damage, so that, that kind of neuters, uh, Blastarr, Quasar, the special from Daimon Hellstrom, and then more Symbiotes.

I, I think it's worth it to build a Symbiote Six anyway, so I think it just gives them additional value and kind of leads to the theory that the Hellfire Club is gonna be the team re- being replaced in the Trepidation Raids, not the Insidious Six.

Unless it's all backwards and the Insidious Six is being replaced, and they're making them more viable because they're gonna be less viable in the raids.

And the spoiler is that it was basically none of them because someone else came into the race.

So it was a fun issue that ended up with Makkari and Quasar hugging it out.

And Quasar comforting Makkari and saying that he's still good enough, basically.

Oh, they're my

favorite

Which, Grunewald... fantastic writer didn't often lean into that sort of thing where it was super existential like if you read his cap run there are a lot of different dimensions to it but it doesn't ever get to i'd say this level with this issue so i think this is mark getting more comfortable with the quasar playground that he's built for himself and sort of experimenting with his own style so let's get into it.

We're in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

And Quasar is asking, what the heck am I doing here? And I've asked the same thing, um, in terms of being in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the one time I was there
