Comic Trivia Of The Day- Mr Freeze


o Mr Freeze is one of the big time players in Gotham City. Terrorizing the world with sub-zero weapons whilst encased in his giant robotic-like armour which keeps is body below zero degrees.

Victor Fries aka Mr Freeze first appeared in Batman #121 (1959) and has used his ice-cold weaponry to inflict serious damage to the civilians of Gotham and securing millions of dollars that he and is cold-hearted gang have accumulated over the years.

But did you know that Mr Freeze does actually show off his human side. He mainly uses all of the money that he has collected over the years, from a series of crimes, to actually fund his research into curing his beloved wife, Nora Fries, who he has put in a cryogenic sleep in order to preserve he body for the disease that she is dying from

This genuine act of love, be it outside of the law, is the reason why Batman and other members of Batman Incorporated have left him alone over the years (unless he's actually done something really bad of course)

Stan Lee is one of the most recognisable writers/ person to work for comics in possibly the entire world. Introducing some of the most famous marvel characters that have graced the pages of comics including; Spiderman, Hulk, Thor, Ironman plus many other characters and major events throughout his years at Marvel!

Who, along with Stan ‘the man’ Lee, is one of my favourite people within the comic book industry.

Comic Trivia Of The Day-The Avengers

Today we will be looking at the avengers.

 A hit movie released in 2012, it allowed for many people to start getting into superheroes and comics as well. The film allowed viewers to witness the partnership between Ironman, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Nick fury, Black Widow and Hawkeye. 

But did you know the original line-up for the avengers (that was introduced in 1963) consisted of; ant man, Thor, ironman, Hulk and Wasp. Obviously ant-man and wasp never made an appearance, well they could have, but they were probably too small for anyone to notice .....

Comic Trivia Of The Day - Hush

Today we will be looking at one of my personal favorite villains hush. 

Thomas Elliot aka hush is one of smartest villains that has ever been in Gotham city.  
Hush and Batman have a strange relationship due to the fact hush wants to ruin Bruce Wayne but runs to him for help. 

One incident that happens between hush and batman which shows this is when a bomb is planted within hush's body by the joker. 
This in turn leads to Hush seeking Batman's help to remove the bomb. What happens after this point is that batman lies to hush and actually leaves the bomb within his body meaning that hush could be sentenced to death and batman would have been the reason why Tommy Elliot had died. Not the usual mind-frame for the bat.....

Comic Trivia Of The Day-Green Arrow/Deathstroke

Ok so today's fact is not really based on a comic book, but rather a comic book character, specifically Oliver Queen aka the Green Arrow.

After only seeing one episode of the T.V series Arrow on Sky 1, I thought that it wasn't too bad; seeing Deadshot appear looking  bad-ass was a pretty good introduction for me. When I was flying to Florida I decided to watch the very first episode.

Did you know that when they were explaining how the billionaire returned to Starr City it shows the island in which Queen is stranded? On that island there shows a mask. A black and orange mask. Any guesses who this mask may belong to?

That's right, it belongs to Slade Wilson a.k.a Deathstroke, or sometimes known as Deathstroke the Terminator.
What does this mean? Well, most people know but it's still a pretty cool way to open a T.V series thinking that the deadliest man in the entire DC universe is somehow involved - meeep!

Comic Trivia Of The Day-Superman

Today's little bit of nerdy knowledge looks at the 'Man of Steel' himself, Superman.

Superman has been a staple hero for DC comics and is classed as one of the best superheroes of all time, especially in the DC universe. But even the most powerful superheroes can die. In Superman #75 Superman and Doomsday have an almighty battle, possibly one of the best one on one fights in comic history which leaves both Doomsday and Superman dead at the end of the issue.

Obviously this does not last for long though as it is explained that Superman was actually in a coma and not dead which kind of takes away from the huge battle although it was great news for all the Superman fans. Can you imagine life without Superman? The JLA and other factions would crumble, Metropolis would never be safe and neither would the whole of the DC Universe.

Comic Trivia Of The Day- Deadpool

Today we will be looking at Deadpool, Yayyy!

Probably one of Marvels most popular characters, this anti-hero is probably the most psychotic person ever to grace the pages of comics and yet we all love him! The fact that he is getting his own game, which looks awesome and should be out this Summer!!!

Anywho, Did you know that Deadpool was part of Department K (in Canada) which was secretly working on the Weapon II-X project (where Wolverine was upgraded). By going rouge, Wade Wilson was sent to The Hospice were rogue superheroes were sent for rehabillitation. This was just a place where the people in charge Doctor Killebrew and Ajax tortured Wade, putting a 'dead pool' on him where people bet to see how long it would take him to die and thus this is how he turned into a nutcase and how Wade Wilson will always be better known as Deadpool
