"Wonder Man's Brain Wave Patterns " -A demonstration of the importance of labeling your things.

[@andrewt6338]

Pretty concise for such a convoluted character. I'd love to see the Mad Thinker or Wonder Man next.

[@shawndardbarbarbarian5061]

Nice job. Love the reference of Original human torch, we share the same last name. Would love to see one of these on Wonder Man!!

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Vision has always been one of my favorite Avengers. As much as I like to keep the comic books as “scripture”, I do love how the MCU merged Visions creation with Ultron, Jarvis and the infinity stone. Under the cinematic circumstances, it was quite brilliant. And Paul Betany owns the Vision character. He is excellent. I truly hope the MCU is able to keep Vision around somehow(maybe Shuri saved his memory somehow).He is always a compelling member of the Avenger team in my opinion.

[@davidgraham8299]

Surely he just needs a new power source to replace the mind stone? A smart girl like Shuri could do that.

[@MaineiacleWis]

Ultron created the Vision in the comics. The change made was saying that Stark had created Ultron instead of Pym

[@foldabotZ]

Really, it simplified the origin and tied it back to previously introduced characters. JARVIS filled in as Wonder Man.

[@vincentfranklin17]

Definitely one of my favorite Avengers!

[@dansmith935]

Really

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Absolutely. Vision, Stark, Warmachine, and Spidey have always been my Faves. Oh yeah, Nova and Warlock too

[@davidgraham8299]

So underutilized.

I didn't know that Vision was the original Human Torch! I just knew that he was created by Ultron 😮

[@Yugi40]

Great origin! I wanna hear about the origin of Wonder Man! He's my favorite!

[@Shiroiokami947]

Your video works on the Marvel characters are really awesome. So when are you going to do one on Doctor Strange? Your videos are truly amazing.

[@Rompastompa71]

When I was 7 years old and I picked up my first Avengers comic,I always thought Iron Man and The Vision were brothers because of the similarity of The Visions face and Iron Man`s Helmet.

[@michaelkclark6981]

Wonderful video My favorite characters are : Silver Surfer Vision Black Blot Green Lantern --- Thanks for putting this together

[@aVerveQuest]

Id love to see a video about Timely comics hero Aarkus, the original basis for Vision

[@comixamples524]

Another great video.

[@SaturdayMourningCarTunes]

I'd like to see one on the Yellow Jacket. These are all amazing...keep up the amazing work!

[@MaximilianOOO491]

Well I had no idea that Vision was the original Human Torch… I’m flabbergasted and gobsmacked 😮

[@pimpharold1]

So visión is a combination of the human torch and wonder man

[@rorymax]

Lol got an ad for that new Vision show

[@ctcentralinfo]

Can you cover Golden Age Vision?

[@TheTiger2311]

Well told!

[@trexadvent4726]

Are we really going to see Vision come back to life in the MCU after somehow crossing over from the fake reality created by Scarlet Witch in the Wanda Vision TV show?

[@davidgraham8299]

Hope so.

fingers crossed man

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of Abigail Brand and the organization known as S.W.O.R.D?

[@markeidemiller3105]

EXCELLENT! WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VARIATIONS IT WOULD WORK WITH WANDAVISION.

[@ralphu.7568]

WOW! Interesting. I never knew there was a "HUMAN TORCH" other than the one I knew from the F4.

[@legoking6165]

Yep. The original Human Torch was actually the first Marvel hero. He made his debut all the way back in 1939 in Marvel comics #1 along with Namor.

[@anthonyknight3623]

@@legoking6165 and the partner TORO a mutant human torch

[@CaptainFrost32]

If you read the first appearance of the Fantastic Four, Johnny takes the name Human Torch because of the stories he knew of the Human Torch. It also led in later issues to him recognizing Namor and causing his memory to restore.

[@56postoffice]

Hank Pym will always be the father of Ultron, who in turn created Vision.

[@legoking6165]

And Vision went on to create a Daughter for himself named Viv. Guess that makes Hank Vivs great Grandfather.

[@autdumb4420]

Oooooo! Shanna the She-Devil NEXT!

[@kevindelgado5956]

Great job once again, how about continuing the history of Wonder Man?

Great video my friend I was wondering if you could do one on Namor Submariner, I know you you'll make the best video ever, cuz he's so underrated to me I think, and he's been in almost ever comic book back back in the day up till NOW, please you must!!!!!!!

I think its the first time the movie (at least Vision'S creation) was better to me :P

[@vincentfranklin17]

Could you do something on The Wrecking Crew?

[@fireflyflash7345]

I love how they Used tony Stark in the MCU as the Creator

[@brianquincyscott1955]

Ultron 5 or 6 was in fact created by Tony...subconsciously implanted with the idea from the previous.

[@55Quirll]

No, it was Henry Pym as Giant Man, who created Ultron, who over 24 hours evolved into Ultron 5. Too bad they couldn't have done the same in the movie. Like the way the Vision looks in the comics rather than in the movie. Good history video, thanks.

[@warrenabdull7226]

@@55Quirll I agree. It's not that hard, can't stand the MCU sometimes

[@trexadvent4726]

In the MCU, Vision was created way before the android Human Torch and Wonder Man could make their MCU debut

Will there be a video of the origin and history of the Chameleon?

[@johanprx7985]

Great video. I am not sure if i remember it correctly but wasn't there another that looked exactly like vision but was completely white?

[@CaptainFrost32]

It was Vision, after he and ISAAC from Titan had spooked the intelligence community and wanted to make certain that the incident could never happen again, I will leave it at that because there is a lot to unpack and we know who we want to give us the story...

[@johanprx7985]

@@CaptainFrost32 Thanks for letting me know.

[@trexadvent4726]

Which version of the Vision do you think is better between the one from the comics and the one from the MCU? What would happen if the MCU timeline was rewritten so that the original Human Torch and Toro existed during World War 2?

Human Torch is in Captain America : First Avenger at the Expo.

Michael Korvac?

When did he get the yellow White costume

[@CaptainFrost32]

After he was torn apart and rebuilt.

[@davidgraham8299]

Late 80's when John Byrne deconstructed the character.

[@JimmyTurner]

Shouldn't "the" in the title be capitalized?

[@oluhamilton2121]

I THOUGHT the original Vision came out in the late 30's. Could have SWORN l read a Timely/Atlas reprint. Help me out here.

[@aasimar73]

He was. Infact same times he pops up as Martian Manhunter version more than the actual Vision who was compared to

That version of Vision comes from another dimension.
