[@BlackhornLynx]

Been an avid comic book enthusiast for about 31 years, you've managed to school me on 2 characters I've never heard of, thank you

[@horrorstew3577]

Didn't tell me anything I didn't already know but stuck in till the end anyway, dude tell the story well... Good bedtime listening

[@championz1184]

Merry Marvalite is one of my favorite channels period.

[@christopherulichney]

All the different Baron Bloods constantly resurrecting after another vampire started using the title gets real confusing real fast. But I think you straightened it out pretty good. Another Marvel character who has died and been resurrected would be RED NORVELL, the red headed Thor stand in. I suggest a video on RED NORVELL, please. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

[@DarthCuddlefluff]

Those wacky Japanese soldiers. Always trying to revive Nazi vampires.

[@MerryMarvelite]

Hey, heroes! I'm streaming on Twitch again this weekend! On Saturday I'm playing more Final Fantasy I, then on Sunday it's Yakuza 0. www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite

[@srstriker6420]

I think he should have been the villain of Blade 2

[@Mr.Nyashty]

We getting a Baphomet video ???

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video? Speaking of Vampires, Are you going to do history of Spitfire and Victor Strange along with teams like the Invaders and the Excalibur team?

[@billyshavers7806]

This is good I have all of the invaders comics and several liberty legion some of my favorites

[@martezberry3164]

I used to love the Invaders comic books when i was younger...

[@danbauer3669]

I like when you cover the more obscure characters like this. Great video! Although, to be fair, your Apocalypse video is my favorite!

[@jackieanderson9408]

Good 😊

[@WillRipamonti]

The 1998 Union Jack miniseries was my very first exposure to Union Jack and Baron Blood, I was instantly fascinated by the characters.

[@jeromewagschal9485]

Yes...I totally remember those characters...I still have the excellent Invaders comic books from the 1970's where I first saw Baron Blood... I remember telling myself: "Wow... Vampires are bad but now they've got to be Nazis too ??" Thank you so much for the video, it was very well-done 👍

[@RX552VBK]

I loved Baron Blood! The first time I saw was in the pages of Captain America, when John Byrne (my favorite Marvel artist as a kid) was the artist/writer. It was a really great couple of issues if I remember correctly--reminded me of a couple of the Lee/Cushing Hammer Dracula films too.

[@danielgreen2788]

Byrne arch its the best! What a genius!

[@EVGriffinJr]

I knew of Baron blood. But I didn’t know there was a Baroness! Hence another reason I stay subbed to this channel!

[@darthGOLDAR]

Given the current foreign, (🇮🇱)craziness,this is totally appropriate. Great job as usual, keep up the great work!

[@quentinfogger5755]

How many people who took on the mantle of Union Jack fought against Baron Blood? Which Union Jack is the best? Can you do history of Union Jack?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What would happen if we saw Baron Blood making his MCU debut in the upcoming Captain America Brave New World so that he could fight against Sam Wilson Captain America Falcon?

[@veillifted]

These Nazis really was blood sucker! lol

[@lindamagagula7476]

Baron Bloods are the interesting Villains in the Marvel Universe. They should appeared in the upcoming Blade reboot movie.

[@jasonic-ks2tm]

Love to see a video of spymaster.

[@charlesjohnson536]

'THIS CHANNEL IS EXCELSIOR' 👍 ..

[@scottdoesntmatter4409]

You would think a vampire with half a brain would start wearing a medieval breastplate so that stakes and silver couldn't penetrate!

[@matthewdunham1689]

Cool

[@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 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]

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?

[@danielgreen2788]

Love It!! Can you put the title and number of the issue where all this takes place? THANK YOU!!

[@trexadvent4726]

How many people have taken on the mantle of Baron Blood in the comics and what's their current status? How do you they keep coming back to life? Is it weird that Spitfire became a vampire at her old age and became immortal? Is she the only surviving member of the Falseworth family?

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think is the best thing about Baroness and Baron Blood in the comics compared to other Captain America villains? Which one of their powers and abilities do you think is the best?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What would happen if Blade fought against Baron Blood since that Nazi Vampire is working for Dracula?

[@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?

[@redjirachi1]

Nazi vampire? Geez, how much more diabolical than this guy get, make him part of the IRS as well?

[@cjarndorfer4811]

Listening to Blood's story and the whole time I'm thinking, "jeez, this guy is harder to kill than a roach"

[@manuelpro1442]

A curious fact is that Roy Thomas invaders author realizes homenages of Golden age heroes in the title and Baron Blood is an homenage to Batman, he also made homenages to aquaman, Wonder Woman, and even he made an unoficially crossover with DC's Freedom fighters in a similar way he made with the JLA has the Squadron Supreme, so in the DC comics a team that where the invaders appears on Freedom Fighters comicn

[@SamuelAna4Ever]

This was fantastic. Good job. Fought Baron Blood in the original Marvel Heroes roleplaying game in the 80's. Deadly.

[@justinwilliam6534]

I would love it if you cover the Red Ghost plus I heard that Baroness Blood is hinted to be part of an MCU movie about Blade by the She Hulk Attorney at Law series specifically her true identity name.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Was it shocking to see Captain America beheading Baron Blood since he's supposed to be the Avenger with morals?

[@srstriker6420]

Very underrated villains they’re especially since one of them is Dr Strange’s brother and I think that a Baron Blood should have been in Blade 2 Jared Nomak’s dad Eli like a throw away line saying “so are you some kinda Baron Blood” that could ether be Blade, Whisper or Daryl from the Walking Dead saying that.

[@simonmann4922]

Surprised neither have appeared in the current bloodhunt event or any tie ins, especially the Union Jack the Ripper mini

[@jcdejesus2296]

That's pretty cool for Marvel on the origin of lady lotus.

[@nightparadedragon2107]

You forgot that baron blood teaches at Dr Dooms school of technology and mysticism

[@alexandrad3158]

OMG! this was more over-the-top than the most over-the-top soap-opera....

[@jerfuhrer2581]

Why does Spitfire look so much like Firestar?

[@trexadvent4726]

Who do you think is better the first Baron Blood and the Baroness Blood?

[@rob-brown]

[@JusticeOutlaw]

Man the Nazi are bad comes to supervillains names

[@ensabahnur7657]

[@akahlulwazitoti]

[@3dagalathor]

[@Shadowace724]

[@majinsole8554]

Nazi vampires are definitely the worst of all vampires. ~_~
