    With the release of Venom: Let There Be Carnage could we have a video on the Klyntar? This thought came to me cause they can do a lot of things people don’t talk about, like being able to fuse into a new Symbiote with Hybrid, or how they can take powers from their hosts (like if they attached to electro would they get electrokinesis?)

    • @nathancarter8239
      @nathancarter8239 2 года назад +26

      Looks like Ambush Bug was created in Dec. 1982, and She-Hulk was created in Feb. 1980.
      She-Hulk didn't start breaking the fourth wall until John Byrne's run in 1989 (Sensational She-Hulk).
      Ambush Bug has few appearances when he's first created, but his first two issues that he appears in have no fourth wall breaks; it's not until his third appearance, Action Comics #560 in Oct. 1984, that he mentions the writer of the comic by last name (Giffen).
      So, Ambush Bug was created later, but he broke the fourth wall first. However, She-Hulk's breaking of the fourth wall is more iconic and better-written.

She Hulk was a fourth wall breaker within a relatively serious narrative. Ambush Bug was the outsider pointing out the absurdity of his world (Meepo, anyone?). There was almost no narrative intent. Different kinds of stories.

    @Comic Drake btw Manchester Black didn't block probes from Martian Manhunter, he had Lex Luthor dodge them. This is actually shown to be through erasing Lexs memory of the event in question in a different comic. So Manchester neeve actually blocked Manhunter, just evaded the probe by eleimating the information the probe was looking for. Superman later confirmed that he believes Martian Manhunter's telepathy capable of blocking out Manchester.

    Isn’t Caitlin Snow the only Heroic version of Killer Frost unlike the other first 2? Did they just turn her into a villain because of the Suicide Squad?
