Which yeah only has 3 more issues but yeah there's still a bunch of other US-1 appearances as he was also in a lot of She Hulk's original run, a Deadpool team up and yeah a story where he worked with Rocket and Groot and other cameos here and there so not like this guy has been totally forgotten had marvel though yeah been awhile since he has appeared.

"Where was US 1 during Secret Empire?" Space, if Byrne's She Hulk was anything to go by. In the first few issues Jen ends up in space and there is US&most of his supporting cast. Granted that was the mid 80s, so he may have been back a while.

[@booxmowo2684]

From a quick look at Marvel wiki, U. S. Archer has apparently had three appearances in the 21st century: 1) Guest Of The Day in an issue of Deadpool Team-Up (potentially worth reviewing on AT4W once Linkara runs out of original US-1 issues?) 2) Single panel cameo in an issue of New Avengers, as "one of the many applicants for nanny to Luke Cage and Jessica Jones' daughter, Danielle Cage." 3) Appeared in some capacity in the Rocket & Groot back up story of Annihilators #1. The summary doesn't mention what his role in the story is, but the story was set in space, so yes it seems US was last seen in space (in 2011)

[@dinosaurusmaximus8506]

He was also the team's ride into space in an Infinity Gauntlet miniseries. His supporting cast is running a space truck stop and fight the Baron with his blimp.

Baron Von Blimp not being German is quite possibly the best twist in comic book history.

To play Devil's Advocate, "The Baron" might by modeled after Herman Goering. An arrogant, greedy WW1 fighter ace who was often mocked for his weight and lifestyle even after he become the head of the Nazi Air Force. It'd still be a rather weird bit of satire, but it's not too far off. Except for that hole "Not even German thing". I got nothin there.

No, but it does have a hot witch chick who worships a powerful god that loves to burn people and gives birth to shadow entities that act as assassins, ice zombies that are controlled by supernatural creatures that are made of ice and bring on winters that can last decades, dragons that are controlled by a hot queen who is immune to fire and bangs her nephew, an organization of Assassin’s Creed who can change their faces, a Justin Beber douche who acts like Draco Malfoy on steroids, an uncomfortable Throne that people fight each other over to sit on, 4 seasons of amazing story-telling, 2 seasons of “where the hell are going to go with this”, and 2 seasons you should definitely avoid if you wish to preserve your naive love for what came before.

[@tf2godz]

It really does feel like the writer of this comic was forced to do this. But because no one in Marvel cares about the comic either he decided to make the dumbest thing he could out of spite and it is glorious.

[@buck342443]

Marvel really needs to do more with US-1, a series on Disney+ would be perfect, you don't even need to change anything, just do straight forward adaptations of the comics and watch the money roll in.

[@richmcgee434]

The trick would be finding actors who could play absolutely everything straight without a hint of self-awareness. No fourth wall breaks, no mugging for the camera, SFX from the 80s and costumes that would make Irwin Allen feel good about his SFX.

I'm sure all of the individual character elements existed before this, so maybe it's just coincidence. But was the creator of My Hero Academia a fan of US1? A whip-wielding, mind-altering woman with that mask shape and name seems like a lot of commonality with MHA's Midnight.

[@viraltang]

Ya know with the way All Might is inked to look like an old silver age super hero. To Stain being an homage to the works of Todd McFarland and other "grim" comics of the early 90s like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Scud the Disposable Assassin and all the other subtle nods and homages. Probably.

[@chaoticjusticezero]

Maybe, but I think both are actually supposed to be ripoffs of Catwoman. Also, MHA Midnight's power is basically chloroform, not mind control.

Technically the character should still be usable by Marvel, they probably just don't know what to do with him. I wouldn't mind him showing up again, even for minor roles. Frankly, i'm still amazed by the fact that as a kid i knew him (and the alien, Al) by proxy as supporting characters for the Sensational She-Hulk issues i had (printed slightly out of order than the original american one, we in Italy tended to have sort-of trades rather than single issues in the '90s; Comicvine tells me they were issue #7 and then from #39 till #48 included), he actually had a genuine story arc and all.
