As I recall, Marvel did something similar with Cerebro/Cerebra in response to the <i>X-Men</i> film franchise. <br /><br />And Marvel has certainly been eager to cash in on the recognition its movies have afforded certain characters: War Machine even got his own (albeit short-lived) series. It will be interesting to see, if Marvel does indeed decide to highlight the probable villain of <i>The Avengers 2</i>, how he gets inserted into the Avengers comics line, given that lately he has tended to feature more in...well, in a different franchise.godsbelownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-17499585286580744062012-04-29T14:07:47.213+10:002012-04-29T14:07:47.213+10:00No, sorry, I haven't.

I guess we'll see a lot of things like this happen as Marvel adjusts itself to the movie universes and tries to cash in/avoid confusion. We've already seen Hawkeye have a change of costume to match movie-Hawkeye, and I'm betting that we'll be seeing a lot more of certain characters (including the new villain foreshadowed in the credits sequence of <i>The Avengers</i> ... whose identity I won't spoil).Russell Blackfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431324430596809958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-74341528597032733652012-04-29T12:52:34.198+10:002012-04-29T12:52:34.198+10:00This is the first I've heard about this.
