The Abomination Stronger than the Hulk when the Hulk isn’t madĪfter watching Shang-Chi, it was nice to see that they gave the Abomination a makeover.įans of The Incredible Hulk movie will recognize Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) as the chief antagonist of that movie. Even their address is “Timely Plaza” after Timely Comics. However, the hidden joke is that the Goodman, Lieber, and Kurtzberg were named after Martin Goodman (former head editor and chief of Marvel when it was Timely Comics), Stan (Leiber) Lee, and Jack (Kurtzberg) Kirby-the last two were responsible for creating some of the most popular characters in the Marvel Universe. Within the series, viewers have met Holden Holliway, who seems to be the active senior partner. Along with She-Hulk, other meta-powered beings in the MU, have found employment-such as the Mad Thinker’s Awesome Android (Andy) and the Two-Gun Kid. It’s where She-Hulk works and it is one of the most prestigious law firms on the east coast. The law firm of GLK&H specializes in superhero law. This reference has the virtue of being an easter egg within an easter egg. Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway (GLK&H) GLKH – Goodman, Lee, Kurtzberg, and Holloway He is the type of person that always makes people want to shower after meeting him. He caused the death of Jennifer Walter’s best friend Jill Stevens while accusing She-Hulk of being responsible for her death. He is tasteless, classless, vain, egotistical, misogynistic, cowardly, and somewhat evil. Bukowski brings swarm and obnoxiousness to a new form of low-performance art. To say that Buck is a douche is like saying the Eiffel Tower is a bit of experimental architecture. The show brought on board the amply qualified prosecuting attorney, Dennis “Buck” Bukowski. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law needed a galactic-size douche. Dennis “Buck” Bukowski You can practically smell the cheap aftershave Often she has fought the jade giantess somehow finding her at a low point and has occasionally gotten the better of her. To this day, Titania has been the She-Hulk’s most persistent and aggressive arch enemy. The former challenged her power level and the latter simply beat the living hell out of her as a more experienced fighter. While Titania proved to be a threat to practically everyone she faced, the two heroes that gave her a royal whompin’ were She-Hulk and Spider-Man. Now part of Doom’s “team evil”, she was happy to take on any challengers including that of her future lover, the Absorbing Man, Crusher Creel. MacPherran, who was timid, skinny, small, and frail, went through a Steve Rogers into Captain America-like transformation into a six-foot-six powerhouse of a woman with a chip on her shoulder the size of Wisconsin. In a scene that would make Doctor Victor Frankenstein blush, complete with thunder and lightning for atmosphere, Doom throws the switch to let the eldritch exotic energies go amuck. One of the villains was Doctor Doom, who lives to tinker with alien technology and was happy to get two human guinea pigs-I mean volunteers-to test out what this weird machine might do when combined with this other weird machine, hooked up the women who would eventually be Titania and Marsha Rosenberg to this tech. So, along with all the heroes and villains, some innocent bystanders got caught up in the drama. Part of that planet was a bit of downtown Denver. When the Beyonder made the Battleworld for many of the Marvel heroes and villains that fought in that twelve-issue series, he pieced together a whole bunch of planet parts like an insane geological jigsaw puzzle. She made her first appearance back in 1984’s Secret Wars #3. If there was any character out there that had a grudge match from day one, it’s Titania (aka Mary “Skeeter” MacPherran). I’ll try to list this stuff chronologically, but there’s a lot to unpack and I get impulsive. Now that the series has wound down, I wanted to push this listicle to bring anyone who isn’t an old-school comic book fanboy up to speed. I have not mainlined so many obscure references and easter eggs since I watched an extended cut of Ready Player One. The show even recognizes this as they plastered their real tweets from some of them.īut I’ve enjoyed it because, with each episode, the comic book geek in me squealed like a twelve-year-old girl in a room full of kittens. And that’s okay because to have average viewers you need to recognize the extremes to the mean. Some viewers don’t get the show… or the character… or the message… or the theme. I would have been disappointed if she had not broken the fourth wall in the show. The writers really got the flavor of both The Sensational She-Hulk title as well as some of the later series. I’ll be honest I think Disney+’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law series is great.
