Hey, heroes! Thanks for watching another video! I'll be streaming again on Twitch again this weekend. On Saturday I'll be trying to finish Mega Man X6 while on Sunday I'll be starting Marvel: Super Hero Squad for the Wii! www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite

[@JFYT21]

Can you please do a vid on Kang the conqueror? I think it'd be great in the modst of all this news with him being our main antagonist for marvels upcoming phases!

[@markshulusky6680]

I always liked the comics version of Mordo. He was a classic depiction of envy, making him more of an obscessed pest than a serious threat.

[@OkMakuTree]

Great video as usual! I've never heard of the whole "Baron Mordo was behind all of Steven's woes!" plot, it sounds uh... dumb, if I'm being honest haha. I've always thought Dr. Strange's Origin as an arrogant man who found compassion and enlightenment when he started living for more than himself to be perfect. But comics do have a tendency to overcomplicate themselves. Looking forward to whatever you produce next!

[@matthewschwartz6607]

The sad thing is that Mordo actually SHOULD have stayed dead after that! His story kind of ended there.

[@cadeevans4623]

Haven't heard of this character seems like a interesting character thanks for sharing the history on this character

[@thisguyrighthere3]

thx for this video. i was hoping for this

[@trexadvent4726]

What would happen if we saw Baron Mordo with these powers and abilities in the MCU? How is the MCU version of him compared to his comic book counterpart? Did Chiwetel Ejoifor did a great job in portraying Baron Mordo in the MCU?

[@lucariomew365]

The acting was good, but it wasn't Mordo. The MCU hates having decent recurring villains.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the info ❤

[@mickeymouse7726]

Do a video on the legion of monsters and the Midnight Sons

[@quentinfogger5755]

How come we didn't find out about his current status during Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness instead we see a version of him from another universe who's part of the Illuminati? Do you think Baron Mordo will play a major role in Doctor Strange 3?

[@williamkrause5585]

There's a deleted scene that was filmed and scrapped of Wanda chasing him through the woods, eventually killing him, and that was supposed to be part of the movies intro.

[@carlospointofview]

Excellent video! Can you do the Juggernaut next?

[@jackieanderson9408]

Sweet 👍

[@evilchaosboy]

Geez! IF ONLY...If only comics were as spectacular as the comics of the past. There are very few mediums that become worse over the course of time; Marvel Comics is one of these exceptions. Driving a 30 plus year collector right out of modern collecting (ME!) In the end, I would buy $100's of dollars worth of comics N merch, look at the covers and put them in a box...UNREAD! (that was the only benificial outcome of the plauge. It allowed me to quit "cold turkey". The only one I regretted (althougth what I just heard earlier today, maybe I don't ! was Amazing Spider-man.) If they still wrote with this kind of passion and interest in their craft; Marvel would be HUGE! Society "tender foots" be damned! Let them be offended or shocked. Great show! It warms my comic lovin' heart to hear comic book stories the way they were ALWAYS meant to be...ENTERTAINING! \m/

I did not see the WW2 stuff coming,quite the plot twist

Can you do history of the Living_Brain, the Elementals, Cyclone, Hydro Man, Molten Man, the Spot, Sandman, Rom_the_Spaceknight, Stingray, Quasar, Starbrand, Nightmask, Ava Ayala the White Tiger, Century, Lore and Technovore?

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think is the best thing about Baron Mordo in the comics? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

I never got into these weird comic books. Make mine Spider-Man and Fantastic Four.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Can you do an origin of Baron Von Strucker?

[@samwill7259]

I want to give you some props, my man. I think you're the only content creator I know of who goes fully into always making sure you're calling Romani people Romani rather than the G slur. It's a battle that's still being fought unfortunately and seeing you always on the right side of it really is nice to see here on youtube.

[@teebonesteak8015]

Gypsy isn't a slur, it's a catch all term for the many different groups of travellers.

[@samwill7259]

@@teebonesteak8015 No, no it's a slur. You don't get to make that call, the people themselves do. Romani people are a specific ethnic group within the traveler category and have collectivley said it's a slur, so it's a slur.

[@Dyslexiella]

@@samwill7259 tell that to the dictionary.

[@samwill7259]

@@Dyslexiella Unless you're taking that definition from a dictionary written by Romani people, your assertion is pointless

He is one of Doctor. Strange Enemy.

[@jalenikezeue4114]

I Didn't know Mordo Was a Sicko

[@quentinfogger5755]

Do you think we will see a flashback of the origin story of the MCU version of Baron Mordo? Do you think this one killed his mother and grandfather to avenge his father just like his comic book counterpart?

[@samwill7259]

A lot of this will have to change for obvious reasons having to do with Mordo's actor in the MCU but a bunch of it, the important bits at least that inform him as a character, could still totally be true in the MCU

[@martinmomanyi6803]

I hope brother voodoo will debut in doctor strange 3 and also setup mephisto or nightmare as antagonist of sequel

[@majinsole8554]

Intriguing, the very natural and mortal end to someone who spent so long entrenched in the supernatural. Until the supernatural resurrection at least 😆 ~_~

[@trexadvent4726]

What was up with Baron Mordo messing with Doctor Strange when he was a child? Why did he take back the cancer from Doctor Strange which Astrid Mordo put in him and why did Baron Mordo kill his own daughter to save his enemy? Do you think we will see Astrid Mordo in the MCU? Which actress do you think should play her?

[@brianthomas2434]

Might be wrong but I believe the G in Cagliostro is not pronounced. Italian is a little odd that way.

[@derangedlunaticakad.l.7030]

Dude this one was kind a hard to follow.

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

[@DocA.1415]

how about history of howard the duck

Wow! Were Doctor Doom and Magneto the only supervillains that had a hatred for Nazis?

[@trexadvent4726]

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

[@danbauer3669]

Why can't you just do one comment on a video? Every time I see you in a comment section you have 18 comments that have nothing to do with the subject of the video you posted on. It's always "do a video on this...." Why don't you make your own f&&&ing videos?

[@trexadvent4726]

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

[@PsychoticFruitfly]

your own niece?????!!!!!!! WTF KARL??!!!!

"Cared more about money than helping people" How very American.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Eh, I prefer Dormammu as Strange's arch-enemy. Mordo is kind of lame in the comics.

[@priceringo1756]

That story arc was so predictable. /s

[@quentinfogger5755]

When are you going to do history of America-Chavez in honour of the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?
