The KORVAC Saga - The Origin and History of Michael Korvac

[@MerryMarvelite]

Hey, heroes! I'm streaming on Twitch again this weekend! On Saturday I'm continuing my very first playthrough of Final Fantasy II, then on Sunday, I'll be starting Yakuza Kiwami! www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite

[@lucariopokemon13]

About time someone covered Korvac Saga on KZbin that isn't in low quality. Needed this

[@metal87power]

Galactus: Someone ate my oak mill, someone slept in my bed, someone stole my technology

[@johnnygyro2295]

Korvac: "Hippity hoppity, the power cosmic's my property." Galactus: *getting the ultimate nullifier* "Care to repeat that?"

[@matthewharvey3556]

Galactus probably does drink oak milk.

[@Hulkzilla0]

I have always been curious about The Korvac Saga, but have been somewhat intimidated to check it out. But here we are! You're the best at covering Marvel Comics, both the famous and obscure material!

[@vasp99]

I well remember how exciting and thrilling it was to read this saga month by month ( I missed an issue or two ) and the fantastic job Jim Shooter and his colleagues did on the entire story !

[@jakeproven256]

Maybe, but shame on Jim Shooter and his colleagues for what they did to miss marvel shortly after this story, that still pisses me off.

[@quentinfogger5755]

How many of you remember seeing Korvac in the Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes show? Did he appear in any other animated movie or TV Show after that?

[@chiranjeevsaikia560]

I do. The show handled him and his backstory so well and did a nice job showcasing how op he was. Also it had the best iteration of Guardians outside of comics period. Before the MCU turned them into comedians. The ending was definitely peak. "There are things out there in the universe, you are better off not knowing about"- Star Lord. Absolute chills.

[@rmitwadehra4762]

​@@chiranjeevsaikia560 starlord saying this with the OG voice of halo's master cheif too (Steve Downs). I've gone back to this episode so many times over the years due to how good it holds up in so many regards.

[@chiranjeevsaikia560]

@@rmitwadehra4762 I know right. The serious tone really helps coupled with the eerie ending

[@christopherulichney]

Kovac is one of those characters that doesn't know how to stay dead. Even when his return makes no sense, he returns. How about a video on RED NORVILLE, the red headed Thor stand in. He has died and come back a few times too. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

[@jammbbs1688]

I love the earth's mightiest heroes episode of him where at the end they couldn't detect him anywhere in the universe because he turned that universe into just a glimmer in his tears

[@chiranjeevsaikia560]

"There are things out there in the universe, you are better off not knowing about" - Star Lord, Avengers EMH Absolute chills. The guardians were so rad in that show, heck everything about that show was top notch

[@johanprx7985]

One of the very first comics i have read in the late 70's. Also one of the very best i have ever read.

[@HissoriRenda]

Thanks for making my Friday night Merry 🎉

[@Ocelot835]

Damn, I almost feel pity for Korvac. From what it sound he get bullied all the time by everybody just in spite of his existence! Like he didn’t even done anything horrifying in 616 timeline with his god-like superpowers, living comfortably with his wife as an ordinary guy, yet everyone just want to get rid of him “because he need to be stopped” and provoke Korvac to act in the first place. Like c’mon, give that men some peace!

[@BBBHuey]

4:55 Have you done an origin story on Killraven?

[@fireflame62]

i think they should introduce him either after secret wars or doing secret wars if the movie happens.

[@sa1ntluke]

I only know of Korvac from playing the Lego Marvel games, love this channel

[@Joseph_Drew_III]

From the Enclave to Korvac to What-Must-Be, Zota is a VERY busy evil scientist.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Was Korvac similar to Modok when he was a Cyborg? Who do you think would win between the two of them?

[@MichaelKurse]

Korvac easily.🤯🤯🤯

[@cohaddict]

shout-out to the o.g. Guardians. Great recap!

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of the Elementals(Hellfire, Magnum, Hydron and Zephyr), Bastion, Master Mold, Nimrod, Inferno, Zora_Vukovic Victorious, Night Nurse, Lady-Lotus, Moondragon and Phyla_Vell along with the Supreme Intelligence, Puppet_Master, Diablo, Mole_Man and Angel Salvador/Tempest along with Exodus and Ex-Nhilo?

[@Mrikeepgettinmoneyagain]

He is one of those truly immortal characters

[@jasonmyersOU812]

Hey Buddy, I just discovered your channel about three days ago and am slowly going through your stuff. I'm really digging the time and effort you put into these and I wanted you to know that it is appreciated very much. I stopped collecting comics back in the 80s and it is great to hear about all the things that I missed. I used to have the "What If" with Korvac in it and it was one of my all time favorites. I must have read it like 5 to 10 times in total. Please keep up the great work and I'll see you in the future.

[@MrNiceGuy616]

Dude! When are you gonna put up a video of Steve Rogers aka Captain America? You've been making these for a while & the only time you've tackled that subject is the other captains video! I could do this all day!

[@chiranjeevsaikia560]

"There are things out there in the universe, you are better off not knowing about" - Star Lord, Avengers EMH

[@snoopy4749]

The Chris Cantwell Iron Man run did so much for Michael Korvac

[@jamiekyrin]

I didn't know about the Galactus and the Nullifier stuff. Not sure I'm a fan. The original story stands on its own, and doesn't need any "Oh by the way, this is what also happened" stuff.

[@johnnygyro2295]

Galactus being involved makes some sense considering Korvac stole some of his cosmic power, but otherwise, yeah Krovac's story got more convoluted over time. Then again, so does a lot of comic stories...

[@simonbellmont]

Are we just going to forget he slaughtered the 616 Avengers?! His character seems similar to Kang.

[@abbysands9510]

Really enjoyed that. I read the first book where he takes the power from Galactus ship and becomes a god but after that had no clue what happened to him.

[@LucciClubStudios]

Off topic but do you have another channel where you cover DC hero’s and villains also???? I’ve been searching for a channel that does the same exact thing you do but with Dc

[@RaginBajan]

Almost as convoluted as Hawkman's literary history

[@stevecontreras417]

Loved this video merry marvelite never misses

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think The Marvels movie would have been like if Korvac was the main Villain of that movie since Captain Marvel would have someone OP to fight against?

[@fireflame62]

wasnt karina the girl that was in the 1st guardians movie?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What do you think Michael Korvac would have been like if he appeared in the MCU in one of the 3 Guardians of the Galaxy movies, how do you think Star-Lord, Mantis, Rocket Raccoon and Groot along with the rest of their team would have dealt with him? What would happen if he appeared in the MCU during Avengers Kang Dynasty and Avengers Secret Wars helping Kang the Conqueror?

[@DueceSpice]

THEY WILL MAKE HIM A WOMAN

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of Ironheart, Amatsu-Mikaboshi, Arno_Stark Iron Man, Squirrel_Girl, Constrictor, Deathlok, Amadeus_Cho, the Griever, Pepper Potts AKA Rescue and the Agents of Atlas along with Crescent, Morgan_Le_Fey, White Fox and Luna Snow?

[@trexadvent4726]

Speaking of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Are you going to do history of members like Star-Lord, Mantis, Starhawk, Krugarr, Martinex and Vance_Astro?

[@cheeseburgerinparadise7124]

Only the man who made sense out of king of the conqueror, could tackle this challenge and succeed like you did. As always amazing detail and work.

[@tonypowell9681]

Great one I had the what if comic book where Korvac won

[@trexadvent4726]

Are you going to do history of lesser known characters like Rom_the_Spaceknight, Stingray, Ultimo, Inferno, Zora_Vukovic Victorious, Flerken, Blacklash, Deathlok, Elematrix, Vertigo, Masked Raider, Red_Wolf, Tarantula, Forge, Bishop, Titanium_Man, Crimson Dynamo, Dreadknight, Deathcry, Kobik AKA the Cosmic Cube, Blizzard, Quasar, Starbrand, Nightmask, Bastion, Master Mold, Nimrod, Starhawk, Fixer, Whirlwind, Chemistro, Whiplash, the Controller, Madam_Masque, Count_Nefaria, Ava Ayala the White Tiger, Crossfire, Living Laser, Century, Lore and Technovore?

Are you going to do history of Ironheart, M'Baku, Namora, Attuma and Shuri as the Black Panther since they played a major role in the Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie?

[@charlesjohnson536]

THIS CHANNEL IS EXCELSIOR 👍 ..

[@johanprx7985]

How come the Michael Korvac saga i read in the late 70's did not have Galactus in it?? 🤔

[@MichaelKurse]

I believe it is a retro-con.

[@johanprx7985]

@@MichaelKurse That would certainly explain it.

[@poru208]

Very cool thanks. I'm from Queens originally and always found it interesting that Forest Hills Queens gets mentioned so much in Marvel. Spider-man is from Forest Hills and Korvac lives in Forest Hills Gardens which is small private area within FH. Anyone know a reason, did someone at Marvel come from there or live there when this was all created?

[@johnnygyro2295]

Unless I'm mistaken, Marvel comics was originally based in New York City with Stan Lee and Jack Kirby both living there?

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of Master Pandemonium, Sleepwalker, D'Spayre, Lilith, Chthon, Mephisto, Black heart, Dormammu, Doyle Dormammu, Clea, Nightmare and Pkzkrfmknna along with Crystal, Magma and Vance_Astrovik AKA Justice?

[@trexadvent4726]

What was up Korvac growing up in the Blue Area of the Moon and is he similar to the Ghost since he was endlessly put to work?

[@vincentfranklin17]

Even though I love this coverage, I'd like to read The Korvac Saga for myself.

[@impureneighbour9792]

Okay, the Korvac Saga would've made a good animated movie, with dramatic scenes of course.

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think is the best thing about Korvac in the comics compared to Kang the Conqueror, Annihilus and Galactus? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?

[@Harrison11106]

When the live-action MCU started up, they should've adapted THIS storyline as the overall arc, as opposed to Thanos.

[@commonsense5199]

26:27 I really Wish that Dan Abnett’s Guardian 3000 wasn’t abruptly ended due to Secret Wars(2015). Korvac called Geena Drake, the newest member of Original Guardians, his Reference Point. Geena Drake was very important, that fact she is the most Singular person in the multiverse, and she aware about the alters in time-streams. Shame that Christopher Cantwell didn’t acknowledge that in his iron man run. I have this theory is the character Singularity is actually Geena Drake. Because when Guardians 3000 ended with Geena Drake being alone outside of Battleworld and later Singularity falls from the Sky, which is outside of Battleworld. Maybe Galactus made Geena into his Heard that how Geena become Singularity.

[@quentinfogger5755]

So when are you going to do history of Zora_Vukovic Victorious since you did the history of Dr_Doom?

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?

[@kevinboutwell]

Excelsior!

[@amanzeihedioha]

That first final fight, man...my 🧠 And he's descended from freaking Aussies?? That explains a lot...

[@trexadvent4726]

How powerful is Michael Korvac with the tech from Galactus and with the Power Cosmic? Which all heroes would stand a chance against him?

[@FlexStyleZ]

Korvac was a much more interesting iron man villain than he was a Avengers villain

[@quentinfogger5755]

What was up with Korvac with his relationship with the Collector's daughter who stood by him from the beginning only to turn on him in the end?

[@impureneighbour9792]

Now that you think about it, Galactus is like one of those teenagers who hates it when someone goes in his room.

[@ensabahnur7657]

Korvac was no joke back in the days#

[@alvaromaureira9366]

10:00 I understood the reference

[@CybeleCotter]

Korvac was another sad legacy of the existence of Galactus.

[@jackieanderson9408]

Cool 😎

[@chrisdragnet722]

The What If version is excellent.

[@davidvangerner7241]

Imagine the korvac saga in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

[@dankmemes4744]

I just know him as that broken character in lego avengers

[@Melkac]

I can’t help but think of Goofy every time I hear your intro.

[@denial987]

You skipped the [art of the Saga where Danvers gave birth to Korvac when she was impregnated by another Korvac, Merry.

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

I admit, I found the Korvac Saga fascinating but not very meaty. I thought the psycological aspect was too minimal. But hey the Avengers rode a bus.

[@Michael-sg6sr]

I’m still so confused about who Michael korvak is, what his powers are and where he came from. I guess I didn’t listen very well lol

[@Reddotzebra]

KORVAC is basically Kang except less tragic and more silly.

[@mueezadam8438]

When his saga is laid out like this, it makes the guardians of the galaxy look like a bunch of stalkers 😅

[@jamesgoodwin4528]

Didn't he have a relationship with Carol Danvers ?

[@56postoffice]

I still have those *"AvEnGeRs"* titles from the late 70s that featured the Korvac Saga.

[@kabiebebe2332]

Guardians are crazy powerful but dint ended Korvac so easily 😅😅

[@metal87power]

Benevolent cosmic playboy rich philanthropist?

[@MINION6166]

I really hate this retcon stuff. The original origin is just fine.

[@CybeleCotter]

Hmm. Too much Korvac. it should have been possible to ultimately destroy him or prevent him from ever existing.

[@TheDopamineMan]

Ima touch you.

[@moonprincesst.s.h.4ever115]

Umm, yeah, once your husband kills you and the rest of the universe, it's kinda the end of the relationship. 🤣

Is it just me or are the Guardians the bad guys in this story?

I have always wondered why in some super hero movie,s finale fight battle happen in the wast land like the super hero,s hmmm what are we doing in a wast land can we get out here the leader no this is the final battle and we will defeat the villan the hero,s man we are not fingthing in the waste land with like it,s PS2 game and can we have a drink of water the leader no the heroes suck this we out

[@GhostNinja11]

Shut up you sound dumb what they gone fight in the city where civilians are?

[@PuncherOfAbs]

This sounds goofy. But it would be cool to see the bird from the movie the giant claw in a marvel story. Given that he wields anti matter . See how they would deal with him.
