    Illuminati

    The smartest minds in the Marvel Universe thought they could control the future—but at what cost? In this nearly three-hour deep dive, we unravel the history, power plays, and ultimate downfall of the Illuminati—the secret council that shaped the Marvel Universe from the shadows. From gathering the Infinity Stones to exiling the Hulk, from Civil War to Secret Wars, their impossible decisions changed everything… until it all came crashing down. Were they visionaries, or were they villains? And what happens when the people who believe they have all the answers realize they can’t solve everything? Tune in for a breakdown of their greatest victories, their deepest regrets, and the philosophy that doomed them from the start.

    Hulk

    After a multi-year hiatus (oops!) we return in a grand fashion with a nearly two hour episode detailing the life, tragedy, and psychological condition of the Incredible Hulk! As one of the most iconic comic book heroes of all time, there are decades upon decades of stories to pull from to truly uncover the mystery of the strongest Avenger. What does it take to be considered the Hulk’s “friend?” What environment does he feel most at-home in? And which of Hulk’s many stories dive the deepest into his severely damaged psyche? Simple: just tune into Marvel A-Z to find out!

    Ghost Rider

    We study the history of the Ghost Rider, his endless mission to be free, and some of his greatest tricks and most crushing defeats. As a Spirit of Vengeance, Johnny Blaze is well placed to take on the spiritual and other-worldly foes that other heroes just wouldn't stand a chance against. Listen to this week's episode to discover the extent of his power, the people the spirit inhabits, and what impossible task the Ghost Rider has been assigned in his latest stories.

    Falcon

    We dive into Falcon's history, his personality, his powers and abilities, and so much more. Sam Wilson / Falcon was a historically significant character from the day of his inception, but as the Falcon & Winter Soldier approaches, his cultural impact grows evermore.  Mex-Men Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mex-men/id1462015242

Where have the Eternals been, what have they done, and where are they now? All that and more are answered this week on Marvel A to Z!
