I've honestly always looked at Secret Wars being the comic story that took something I did, in reading comics, that was a 'secret' to something that was now something everyone did. Comic stores in my hometown grew from the one I used to go up to about six or seven in one city alone. I think it was what started me moving on from comics, which was probably not its intended purpose.

[@IanPeon]

While I was buying Transformers issue #1, I saw Secret Wars #8 (the black-suit Spider-Man cover), gave it a quick read, and left the store with it as well. This began me reading comics until 1992, right after The Infinity Gauntlet wrapped everything up nicely, and I had better things to spend money on (for many, many reasons my 18yr old self had). I feel lucky to have read Marvel comics during this 8 year span, which allowed me to fully appreciate everything the MCU has done.

[@rzerox21xx]

actually, Xavier can walk during this time because he's in a new clone body via shiar technology due to his original being turned into Brood.

[@shoresean1237]

In-story, they explained it as the Beyonder thinking of him in the wheelchair, likely because of earlier observation, and for casual fans, it just put any immediate questions of why he could walk aside. Also, I think someone on-staff just forgot this development at first.

[@cariganpintalba9498]

Also, Dr. Doom didn’t teleport those two women from earth. They were residents of a small town from earth that was transported and made part of battleworld by the Beyonder.

Even though I think the Hickman's version is far superior, the classic Secret Wars still alot of fun. I remember being introduce to the event after watching it's adaptation from Spider Man TAS. Interesting enough, much like in the event was crossover between many heroes from different comic books, the Spider man TAS version was crossover between heroes from the Marvel animated series at the time (Spider man, Lizard and Black cat from Spider man TAS, Iron Man from Iron Man TAS, Storm from X-men TAS and Fantastic Four from their own animated series).

With Hickman, his build-up to Secret wars with the Incursions as Time runs out for the Universe was better than his SW series, because SW was a mess with millions ideas, many not explored or randomly dropped. Though SW confrontation between Doom and Reed was superbly done.

[@darkerknight7010]

Secret Wars 2015 was an absolute mess. And a missed opportunity for a real reboot by Marvel. The concept was good but the execution was sloppy. Late releases…even adding an issue in the middle of it. It just wasn’t well thought out. The build up, Time Runs Out was fantastic but Marvel dropped the ball. At least the original had a cohesive story that had long lasting changes to the status quo. And if DC took their sweet time with Crisis, that’s their fault.

[@Premiumjack_]

Secret Wars is how the mcu should end. Specifically the 2016 one IMO. It’s legit perfect. Fantastic Four being introduced. The multiverse being confirmed with Andrew and tobey being shown. Kang being shown! And so much more multiverse doctor strange and Loki stuff. It’s perfect.

[@doomstadt2371]

The story that made me realize that Dr Doom is the greatest Marvel villain to ever be created. Really wish he would have gotten his time in the spotlight before the MCU did the Infinity arc, because Doom will look weak comparatively in any ensuing movie (as will anyone compared to literal Infinite power), and IMAGINE if they had to deal with Doom showing up to assist with destroying Thanos after seeing him as a villain for a few movies. Because he absolutely would have. He has a country and people to care for. He coulda fought with Tony about tech, and Strange about magic, and talked down to Thanos about wielding power properly. There were so many opportunities. He definitely would have cozied up to Wanda because he would have immediately recognized her as the most powerful being in the MCU. Fucking hell, I'm making myself sad lol. Doom is the best, but unfortunately, they refuse to do anything with him without bringing the boring ass FF along with him, and just portraying him as a power hungry idiot to be beat up by stretchy fists and family love. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I view the 1982 series "Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions" as a trial run on this very thing.

This was how I was introduced to The Avengers and Fantastic Four as my only interest at the time was X-Men and Spider-man.
