Man, Annihilus became a major villain in the 2000s. Annihilation is BRUTAL.

[@Popcultureguy3000]

R.I.P. Keith Giffin. He’s mostly known for his _vast_ body of DC superhero work(his most beloved being his Justice League International comic run, which turned Ted Kord and Booster Gold into bros for life and made Fire & Ice DC household names), but he loved Marvel’s cosmic superhero comics, and hated how they’d fallen off in the 2000’s (only exception being the two volumes Peter David’s Captain Marvel), so he worked with Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning to plot out and pitch the Annihilation Event, with Keith plotting the main title and the prequel series for it’s follow-up event, starring his prior Marvel comics co-creation (as an illustrator) Rocket Raccoon for Annihilation: Conquest.

[@sa1ntluke]

Besides Doctor Doom, this is the villain I really want to see in the MCU

[@christopherulichney]

The Annihilation Wave was the best Marvel Cosmic Crossover. It gave us the modern Guardians of the Galaxy. You mentioned them again so I have to ask for a video on The Frightful Four. As always MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

[@jammbbs1688]

Omg you listened to me! This is my favorite comic book character ever!

[@zonitoni4453]

Just in time for Annihilation 2099

[@christophera5055]

Soo excited, this is my absolute favorite Marvel story!!!

[@phillipwalters7702]

Hello there Merry Marvelite. I just wanted to say that this new video was really interesting and packed with some great information as well. I really enjoyed and appreciate the great all the hard work that you put into this video. So thank you so much and I hope that you and everyone else in this community has a terrific day.

[@dfailsthemost]

Hey, Mr Marvelite. Thanks. I've been looking forward to this.

[@mokeish]

That intro was Kirbytacular

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the amazing video❤

[@zrethor]

Thanks for another great video

[@CHARLESJOHNSON-gv7zy]

THIS CHANNEL IS 'EXCELSIOR' 👍 ..

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you history of the characters mentioned in this video? Speaking of Annihilus, Can you do history of Franklin Richards and Psycho Man?

[@santanavillagomes8051]

another Banger video this needs to be Marvel's next horror movie

[@sergioruiz733]

This is great! Always love more on my favourite screaming robot bugman! Also I forgot about Hellscout! 😂

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

EXCELSIOR!!!!

[@camilocuba6927]

I really need to check out Annihilation. I’ve heard nothing but great things about it.

[@williamhopkins343]

18:47 Rom the spaceknight reference! Still think he deserves a video!

[@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?

[@MrMetro-mt5qv]

It would be criminal if Annihilus doesn’t even receive such as a mention in the new FF movie.

[@BFriendlyGuy]

Glad to see this vid. Under Rated Channel

[@m.j.latham230]

No music please! I like to sleep to your videos and the music makes it hard to sleep to thank you

[@goodman4966]

Talk about late upload lol still going to enjoy your videos

[@XHero220]

Hey can you do video about history of The U.S. Agent ( John Walker)? Thank you.

[@trexadvent4726]

What was up with Glorian, the proemial gods(Aegis and Tenebrous) and the Heralds of Galactus against Annihilus? Can you do history of these characters?

[@jackieanderson9408]

This was sweet.

[@ScarDDT]

fav card in marvel snap.

[@NegaHumanX]

0:56 - Oh my. 😳

[@djashovel]

I wonder how the fantastic 4 would change Going forward if Johnny storm state dead I can Definitely see spider man Taking johnny's place And I could see peter Being very close to franklin and veronica

[@quentinfogger5755]

Who could believe that Asgard ended up in the Negative Zone after the rainbow bridge and Annihilus fought against Thor and Odin?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the Living_Brain, the Elementals, Cyclone, Hydro Man, Molten Man, Puck, Ahab, Rom_the_Spaceknight, Stingray, Noh-Varr Marvel_Boy, Starbrand, Nightmask, Ava Ayala the White Tiger, Crossfire, Living Laser, Century, Lore and Technovore?

[@djashovel]

I really do hope Marvel Brings back the 90s animation universe. They have so many comics and material they could use for So many Show For so many characters And it would be more Close to the actual Comic books It basically could replace the MCU and probably last just as long that universe ended after endgame for me. So, a little over ten years

[@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?

[@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, Ahab, Orb, Speed freak, Masked Raider, Red_Wolf, Tarantula, Forge, Bishop, Lilandra, Death bird, Titanium_Man, Crimson Dynamo, Dreadknight, Deathcry, Kobik AKA the Cosmic Cube, Blizzard, Avril Kincaid 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?

[@trexadvent4726]

Who could believe that Annihilus is the reason for the Quantum bands to go from Wendell Vaughn to Phyla-Vell? Can you do history of Avril Kincaid Quasar and Phyla-Vell?

[@davidvangerner7241]

Imagine annihilus and the annihilation wave invading the star wars galaxy during the clone wars

[@trexadvent4726]

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

[@bensmiley5301]

Annihilation war should be a marvel movie, it has guardians ff4 and nova it would be great.

[@quentinfogger5755]

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

[@Mr003251]

Do you think you could do the morlocks next?

[@mizking5033]

I remember it was over when Galactus unleashed that cosmic wave. G was on NBA JAM fire at that time. Fighting Beast Odin and Celestials. He trased that future Odin force Thor as well till Thor came back with that sword lol Throw sum respect on GOATS name :)

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of S'ym, Shroud, 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 do you think is the best thing about Annihilus in the comics compared to Thanos, Tryco Slatterus the Champion of the Universe and Galactus? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?

[@Joseph_Drew_III]

I remember hearing that the Cosmic Control Rod itself was the counter to the Power Cosmic. Does the Opposing Force come from it?

[@nickp2271]

How about a video on The Green Goblin?

[@pjgarcia3492]

And now I wait for franklin richards to be on the patreon poll

[@trexadvent4726]

What's up with Annihilus coming back in the form of his clone, gathering followers like the seekers to go after anyone with the power Cosmic and what's up with Nova and Blastarr? What's the best thing about the Annihilation wave which took place for many days? How powerful is the Cosmic Control Rod with which one of the things Annihilus used is resurrecting Johnny Storm the Human Torch countless times? What's up with Annihilus turning planet Praxis-2 into Annihilation world after what happened to the Negative Zone and does he look great copying the powers of the Hulk?

[@goredongoredon]

Boy there was some rough art at the begining of this but I loved hearing Annihilus' comic history.

[@martyn94ma]

Can you do a video of the infinaut ❤

[@denial987]

I would love to know ,pre about the history of Nova Prime or Richard ryder. Either of those two.

[@garyjones1688]

He is also a old school build a figure

[@quentinfogger5755]

What do you think Annihilus would be like if he was the next Thanos and Kang the Conqueror in the MCU? How's his Annihilation wave compared to the Chitauri and Outriders from Thanos?

[@keithdrummond1003]

I could be wrong, but what differentiates the Annihilation wave is mind-boggling numbers.

[@quentinfogger5755]

What's up with the N-Explorers being the first human team to go to the Negative Zone for it's energy and resources?

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

They couldn't get RUNE in this more?!

[@jackieanderson9408]

Hey 👋🏿

[@DKCG0113]

I can't take any more of these punny names

[@donlengel4770]

2 movies.

[@bumbleguppy]

Somehow Annihilus returned...

[@rockmanmix6242]

Raptors? Not darkhawks?

[@believein1]

Can’t you just flash though all the panels and let us pause the video to read them?

[@vancemurphy9470]

Who's Red Shift?

[@cheeseburgerinparadise7124]

Wooooot! I don’t know if I’m the first comment but I know I’m the first like!!!

[@robstein1313]

Annihilus: the democratically elected
