Doctor Doom fighting against Galactus is about as heavyweight of a villain battle as there’s ever been in Marvel Comics. However, once the two villains went toe-to-toe and unfortunately for the Devourer of Planets, Doctor Doom dismantled him in just about the most brutal way possible. Some of the most entertaining fights in comics aren’t just heroes against villains, but when villains duke it out with each other. In Fantastic Four: The World’s Greatest Magazine Magazine (2001), by a massive creative team including Erik Larsen, Eric Stephenson, Bruce Timm, Joe Sinnott, Ron Frenz and more, Doctor Doom obtains the Cosmic Cube (home of the space stone), the Sacred Helix of Randac (which powers the Inhumans Terrigen chambers), the Ultimate Machine (infinite knowledge of the universe) and Annihilus’ Cosmic Control Rod (allowing him to manipulate all the items) and immediately launches an attack at Galactus in the name of obtaining his power....

The newly announced series will assemble multiple creative teams producing eight double-sized issues centering around iconic Marvel characters from the eyes of ordinary people. Each issue will feature a different chapter from Marvel’s eighty-year history, with covers from Kurt Busiek’s MARVELS collaborator Alex Ross. Classic Marvel character Namor the Sub-Mariner is the first to get the new treatment, with Sub-Mariner: Marvels Snapshot #1....

With release set for late 2017, details on the highly anticipated game Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite have been scarce since December. The fourth entry in the Marvel vs. Capcom series of games will bring new changes that seems indicative of heavier focus on the Marvel side, bringing in characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Considering the number of films that have been released since Iron Man in 2008, there’s a vast potential of characters for Marvel to draw from as well as an opportunity to extend Marvel’s reach in video game format....

As it became apparent that COVID–19 would send schools home, many IT directors suddenly had to build out distant learning solutions overnight. Since then, I’ve read about countless deployments of Google Classroom, Schoology, and other Learning Management Solutions being used to support at-home learning. There is one app I’ve not seen a single mention of during COVID–19, and that is iTunes U. About Making The Grade: Every Saturday, Bradley Chambers publishes a new article about Apple in education....

When Married…With Children first premiered, we introduced to the Bundys and also their neighbors, newlywed couple, Steve and Marcy Rhoades. They were a loving couple at first and Steve did all he could for Marcy and vice versa. But as they were also trying to be good neighbors to Al and Peg, they also were being a little corrupted by the crass Bundys… or maybe they always had their own crass side to them....

The much-lauded Infinity Saga of MCU films came to a close in 2019, paving the way for a new phase in Marvel’s Hollywood development timeline. However, for many fans, the Infinity Saga is still the meat and potatoes of the franchise due to the sheer amount of feeling put into each film. The film lineup was a roller coaster of emotions leading up to that ultimate scene where one of Iron Man’s saddest moments in the MCU plays out on screen for all to see....

Marvel’s Black Widow movie is reportedly set to begin filming in the U.K. in late February or early March. Officially, Marvel Studios is attempting to keep their plans for anything projects post-Avengers: Endgame under wraps. In reality, it’s pretty certain that the 2020 Marvel movies are Black Widow and The Eternals. Very little is known about Marvel’s plans for Black Widow; there are recurring rumors that it could be a prequel, revealing how she came to join S....

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. can’t continue to ignore the consequences of Avengers: Infinity War. When the ABC show began in 2013, it was billed as the MCU’s official tie-in TV series, strongly affected by major events in the movies. Things changed in 2015, though, when Marvel Studios was separated from the wider Marvel Entertainment group as part of a corporate restructuring at Disney. Since then, explicit connections have become rarer. But there was no way Agents of S....

Disney owning the MCU practically makes Maleficent, one of the company’s most iconic characters, into a bonafide supervillain. While she was terrifying to children that grew up watching Sleeping Beauty, the new live action Disney films starring Angelina Jolie have made her something of an antihero. For all her internal conflict, she still retains her her immense magical powers, which are only augmented by her temper. The films have augmented her abilities beyond what they were in the animated film, including new forms of transformation, elemental manipulation, and dominion over the natural realm....

It’s been a rough political season in the United States, and the division across the nation only seems to be growing as president-elect Donald Trump gets closer to his inauguration. A part of this is due to his penchant for blasting his “enemies” on Twitter, a habit that recently earned him the attention of Star Wars actor Mark Hamill. In addition to playing the noble Luke Skywalker, Hamill has long voiced most of the animated iterations of The Joker since the ’90s Batman: The Animated Series....

Notably, specific Apple apps like iMessage aren’t a focus of the antitrust concerns for the company but rather how it operates its App Store like the 30% commission it takes and App Store rules and how they affect competition and consumers. But Zuckerberg’s comment infers that Apple’s iMessage popularity should be something under investigation by the Judiciary Committee with the subtext “don’t worry about us, look at them.” Part of Apple CEO Tim Cook’s responses during the hearing included a defense that the company hasn’t abused its power over the years....

The physiques of Marvel’s cinematic heroes were put on blast by Ricky Gervais, as the actor/comedian insulted them during his hosting duties at the 2020 Golden Globes Awards. Despite his fair share of controversial comments at previous Golden Globes ceremonies, and even recent “transphobic” jokes. It seemed like nothing was going to stop Gervais from hosting the award ceremony for a fifth, and according to the actor, final time in 2020....
