Deadly Foes of Spider-Man: SILVERMANE

[@MerryMarvelite]

Hey, heroes! I'm streaming on Twitch again this weekend! On Saturday I'm starting Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow while on Sunday it's more of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom! www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite

That sounds very awesome!!! 😎

[@rockmanmix6242]

I hope you try Camelot and Morgan

Some old people just can't see themselves retiring, they've always got to have a project. Some people have gardens, some people turn into cyborg crimelords acting on violent bloodfeuds...some people go birdwatching

[@flyguy7825]

He is one of the more underrated villains in Spider-Man's rogue. I'm a little surprised we haven't seen him in any live-action movies that I can think of, not even as a cameo

[@alexandrefrauches132]

True, which reflects a issue with many of the Spider Man films: Outside from Homecoming, none of them ever explore Spider Man as street level hero dealing with NY underworld and how his actions lead to the creation of super villains (something that was better explored in Spectacular Spider Man), Most them have Spider Man dealing with super villain that is trying to destroy the city (ex: Doctor Octopus, The Lizard) or trying to kill him and his loved ones (ex: Green Goblin, Mysterio)

[@Supremmo]

@@alexandrefrauches132 That would be a great angle to work with in the near future.

[@alexandrefrauches132]

@@Supremmo Maybe in Holland's Spider Man 4 since Silvermane motivation of wanting to be young again could create a parallell to Peter story post NWH. Just like Silvermane, Peter also lost his aunt and his identity as Peter Parker (losing his friends). He would probably have difficult to find new allies, not wanting to put them in danger. The difference could be that, while Peter learns to be optimistic of his new life and let new people in (characters like Randy Robertson, Gwen Stacy, Black Cat or maybe Miles Morales), Silvermane refuses to change bc of his obsession with his glory days and fear of dying old and forgotten.

[@alexandrefrauches132]

Plus, his presence could work to set up villains like Mr Negative for future films. The MCU already established this sub-plot of goverment beginning to create their own super-humans (Wandavision, FaWS, Wakanda Forever), so Silvermane could continue this by revelaing the underworld is also starting to create their own super villains and mercenaries.

[@flyguy7825]

@@alexandrefrauches132 1000% agree with you. I want to see a more grittier Spider-Man and I think this character Silvermane is perfect for it

[@alexandrefrauches132]

Very underrated villain! Besides being responsible for Mr Negative origin, the concept of Silvermane being an old crime boss who wanted to regain his youth and reclaim his power, while sound silly, it actually creates nice contrast between Silvermane (a old man who wants to be younger again) and Spider Man (a teenager who learns to grow and become a mature and responsible man)

[@Hulkzilla0]

I liked how you talked about the rise of superheroes and super villains after Silvermane reached old age. It really does feel like a Marvel age came to be, no pun intended.

[@quentinfogger5755]

How many of you remember seeing Silvermane in the 90s Spider-Man animated TV show where he used the tablet to regain his youth only to end up as an infant child but then he tried to drain the youth of Spider-Man only to turn old again after Vulture saved the wall crawler?

[@alexandrefrauches132]

I remember. That was pretty good adaptation of the "Ancient Tablet arc" from Stan Lee and John Romita run.

[@markmagician2471]

That's from the comics

[@comixproviderftw_02]

Silvermane aka that one old man from The Animated Series that became a baby in the later episodes

[@Supremmo]

LOL

[@scatman786]

Wasn’t that the Vulture’s plot line?

[@charlesjohnson536]

'THIS CHANNEL IS EXCELSIOR' ..

[@Supremmo]

I wish Bendis wrote a mini series chronicling the origins of the Maggia, but he has a habit of blatantly ignoring continuity.

[@howlin.wolf.murphy]

I feel Bendis addresses cont that either led to dead ends or eventually was mishandled regardless he’s great or was at giving old characters a second life or allowing them to shine in major titles ….. also pretty sure the HOOD took care of the Maggia in the Bendisverse

[@Supremmo]

@@howlin.wolf.murphyTo me he just creates more questions than answers. I do like his writing when it came to street level crime stories.

[@howlin.wolf.murphy]

Then Hickman comes in and answers um ….. Bendis’ run leading into Hickmans worked so well together !

[@jakeproven256]

2:23 Aparently Dominick Tyrone stole the Jokers fashion sense acording to this pannel.

[@trexadvent4726]

How many of you remember Silvermane in the Spectacular Spider-man TV Show where Silver Sable was his daughter?

[@Artisan1979]

Yup

[@Supremmo]

Wow! Interesting.

[@Dogapillar4Lyfe]

Underrated, love this old man haha

[@asbjrnsandlykke7773]

Silvermane is underrated. I would love to see him more in modern media

[@christopherulichney]

Silvermane was a great character bridging the gap between organized crime and super powered criminals. Although once he became a cyborg his story went completely off the rails. I blame Marvel editorial for not knowing if he was human or cyborg or even alive or dead in his later exploits. How bout a video on RED NORVELL, the red headed Thor stand in. As always MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

[@Supremmo]

That would be a very short video considering Red Norvell wasn't used all that much.

[@christopherulichney]

@@Supremmo on the contrary, he was the star of the book when the Thor title became Journey into Mystery again during Heroes Reborn. He was a featured player in the Marvel Universe, even guest starring in Incredible Hulk. He has a much bigger story than most people realize. Which is why he needs a video.

[@Supremmo]

@@christopherulichney I remember his Hulk appearance and I’m not saying a video can’t be done about him. I’m just saying it would be extremely shorter than most of the vids on this channel.

[@markshulusky6680]

How about a vid on Rachel Summers/Phoenix? She was a badass with alot of story. Or doing a composite vid where you cover 3 or 4 characters who don't have enough content to feature them as a solo episode (Griffin, Midas [Ironman's foe], lots of c-list greatness out there).

[@kumamotox321]

Man your videos just make my day

[@terryann7354]

Nice video would like to see you do a video on the jackal soon 👍

[@vontheunknown7982]

Me and my cousin are making our own superhero book with our own characters If you have any questions let me know, okay?

[@CamCrouch04VA]

What will the plot be about?

[@vontheunknown7982]

@@CamCrouch04VA Mostly about the worlds, the first superheroes and supervillains.

[@fredthemithrilogre]

When I was younger, I thought he was an anti-Robocop: old(experienced)+mafia+cyborg

[@maxordman4100]

I’m a huge fan of the Marvel Universe and I just joined your channel’s subscription list! Excellent job on this video! Slivermane would be a perfect villain for a film that features Spidey and Black Cat as a couple in my opinion! Personally I have always preferred the Spidey and Black Cat pairing over Spidey and MJ! My respect to the other side. Please keep on making more great Marvel history recaps! A video on the Night Nurse would be high on my wish list!

[@garyhall7867]

Any idea why they called it Maggia instead of Mafia? Was it because the actual mafia made it a no no?

[@Supremmo]

Bingo! At that time, The Mafia had a lot of pull and they had hand in the magazine distribution market. Remember, the Mafia got their name removed from The Godfather script. There whole thing was operating as a secret society.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the amazing video ❤

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video? Are you going to do history of more lesser known Spider-Man villains?

[@robertrowley4929]

Jesus, this guy’s like comic book Kill-monger; keeps coming back to life even when killed. Like Vulture in the 90’s Spider-Man show said, “maybe you should change your name to: the cockroach.”

[@Puka04]

Crazy how close spider-man the animated series was to the comics

[@Nathan-uu7dt]

Yo I love your videos bro keep up the great work can I suggest covering agents of atlas they seem interesting

[@jakeproven256]

Lews Wilson is also the name of the first actor who played Batman in cinema.

[@richards.monroe8668]

Greetings, Merry Marvelite!! I've always loved Marvel Comics since I was a kid, and your videos on the Marvel Universe are great. You, besides Comic Book Girl 19 (another comic book enthusiast) have earned my respect for your hard work and dedication. Keep up the good work! 👍🏿

[@eerieeric834]

Don’t forget to do a video about his daughter

[@pierrebuieii3908]

I remember him on the spider man 90s cartoon series that was the best

[@quentinfogger5755]

What was Silvermane like from before he started looking for that age stopping tablet and after he appeared in present day in Marvel comics?

[@petefischer3820]

Thank you!

[@quentinfogger5755]

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?

[@garyjones1688]

Oh this is cool so when all this was happening Cloak and Dagger got their powers and negative man wow

[@trexadvent4726]

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

[@jakeproven256]

Flint Makro, Cain Marko, Man Mountain Marko, how many villains are named Marko in the marvel universe? Though at least one of them is actually named William Baker.

[@8arrows]

How many characters were or are named Marvel?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Yeah I don't understand why these characters have the same last name if they're not related or anything but then again this is something that's happening in real life as well

[@Supremmo]

Jessica Jones and Rick Jones have the same last name and they’re not related. Bill Foster aka Goliath and Jane Foster share the same surname and aren’t related either. It happens.

[@jakeproven256]

@@Supremmo I was just fooling around.

Please do the history of the Hobgoblins.

Hearing this guy's name I immediately hear Terrence Howard saying his name lol..."Spider-man!(mayne)....you're going down.."

What do you think is the best thing about Silvermane in the comics compared to Tombstone and Hammerhead? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?

[@sawtooth808]

In Superior Foes of Spider Man Silvermane is basically a head,

I want to see him on a MCU as a figure coming out this year

[@princebloodgrave8097]

Marvel's Shotgun would be cool to see a video of. :) JR Walker version. :D

[@quentinfogger5755]

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

[@Mochi_Madness87]

Silvermane has alot in common with Sigma of Megaman X. Just wont stay dead and keeps getting new bodies.

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think is the best thing about Silvermane working with Hydra? What happened to his son? Is Silvermane similar to Zheng-Zu since the only thing they have in common is that they find a way to live longer than anyone else?

[@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?

[@Jamesalec63]

Silvermain origin though Italian in origin he has connections to another super villain, I recall a story in Cpt America comics were Cpt was confront by him, this was a Hydra story and had Madam Hydra as the main lead in the story till Silvermain shows up at this stage the two suddenly drew close and this when Cpt America realised that they were lovers? It also seems they fell out with each other but remained in contact. Why was this. Seems Madam Hydra kept a secret. Her daughter? The other side of the Silvermain origin is his also related to the Starks. I recall an episode of Agent Carter episode where Silvermain appears in it and says Howard Stark is a cousin to him if true, of course? I also sure he has a connection to many others villains

[@quentinfogger5755]

Is it shocking to hear that Silvermane is responsible for Mister Negative, Cloak and Dagger getting their powers? What was up with his connection with Dagger?

[@chibilutionaudios]

OH MY GOD I AM CAUGHT UP MY JOURNEY!!! HAS REACHED ITS RESTING POINT!!! I shall now travel equal footed with the creator's progress *FLEX*

@Marrymarvelite.. Wow my friend Merry is big enough now to have fake ass bots. MERRY YOU’RE FAMOUS NOW

[@buildaggedonarmanaziie4462]

Silvermane could have been Marvel's version of Ra's Al Ghul. Instead, he is a cyborg thing. It felt like a missed opportunity.

[@KenDAKL4ever]

No, that's a reach. This is a meh villain that got used way too long. He should have ended after the Kingpin/ Dagger storyline and that was pushing it.

[@trexadvent4726]

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

[@Mjolnir877]

Take a shot every time one of Silvermane's plans is foiled by Spider-Man!

[@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?

[@robertfalcone3025]

As an American Mafia AKA La Cosa Nostra historian I get a kick outta the way Silvermane's story incorporated so many REAL LIFE mob names & actual incidents into it For example.. the Hell's Kitchen mob boss Vincent Coll is obviously based on real life 30s mobster Vincent Mad Dog Coll..a rival of Arthur Fleganheimer AKA Dutch Schultz.. Also the one mob boss being ANTI narcotics was obviously based on real life NYC based Gambino Family boss Carlo Gambino.& Silvermane being PRO narcotics was based on Bonnano Family boss Joe Bonnano. Lastly.. the fact that Marvel Comics used the name MAGGIA instead of MAFIA is because in the late 60s early 70s..the Italian Civil Rights League..led by Colombo Family boss Joe Colombo... was coming out AGAINST the word MAFIA being used as a term for Organized Crime groups..,& they insisted that Marvel Comics..as well as the producers of the movie The Godfather NOT use the name MAFIA in there books & movies.. even the FBI was forced to stop using Mafia..& they now use LCN .. abbreviation for La Cosa Nostra.. instead of Mafia.

[@dragongeraldb]

I do not get it, people say "he is so underrated" which is silly, they have no rating system for comic book characters. A wise man once told me to my face "it is what it is, OH YEA"

[@A1ml33y]

This is interesting but the one version of Silvermane from the 94 Spider Man animated series tablet of time episodes from season 2

[@trexadvent4726]

Who's the better Cyborg between Silvermane and Deathlok? Can you do history of Deathlok?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What is up with Silvermane chasing after youth? Is he similar to Arnim-Zola when he transferred his consciousness into a Cyborg body? Can you do history of Arnim-Zola?

[@cedricboykins9328]

Do squirrel girl is she mutant or inhuman

[@robertfalcone3025]

It would have been amazing if a Marvel Comics writer would have made both Nick Fury & Silvermane use the SAME ANTI AGING formula... I believe that Dum Dum Dugan & Black Widow use the same formula as well.
