A Better Look At Marvel Comics’ New Wonder Man, Vin Lerner, and Hostilicus, Scourge of the Negative Zone, both created by the Origin Boxes<\/p>\n

Article Summary
\nMarvel introduces Vin Lerner as the new Black Wonder Man, debuting in Reborn: Ultimate Impact #1.
\nOrigin Boxes from the Ultimate Universe spark the creation of unique heroes and villains in 616 Marvel.
\nHostilicus, a Hulk-like foe from the Negative Zone, joins Marvel\u2019s expanding superhero roster.
\nThe update echoes MCU casting choices, aligning comic characters with their film counterparts. <\/p>\n

As broken out of ComicsPRO last week<\/a>, Bleeding Cool reported that the new Reborn: Ultimate Impact comic book would see the Origin Boxes from the Ultimate Universe carried to the Marvel Universe by Miles Morales for safekeeping, would see the creation of two new heroes for the Marvel Universe. Even if one looks rather familiar\u2026 Vin Lerner is the new Wonder Man and Hostilicus who is the Scourge of the Negative Zone\u2026 is it a coincidence that The Vision, whose brain patterns were based on the Simon Williams’ Wonder Man, had a son called Vin?<\/p>\n

This is what we said last week\u2026<\/p>\n

“When the Marvel Cinematic Universe cast Samuel Jackson\u00a0as Nick Fury in\u00a0Iron Man, this was in the context of Nick Fury being a white man created in the sixties,\u00a0but another version of him in the\u00a0Ultimate Universe<\/a>\u00a0looking just like Samuel Jackson. And that was all fine. But as Nick Fury became more and more famous in the movies, it was more and more of a disconnect with the regular\u00a0Marvel Comics\u00a0titles. So Marvel decided to move Nick Fury into a different cosmic role in the\u00a0Marvel Comics\u00a0universe, and introduce a black son for Nick Fury, eventually see him take over his dad’s role in the\u00a0Marvel Universe, running S.H.I.E.L.D. And looking a bit like Samuel Jackson.<\/p>\n

“Now it seems they are doing the same to Wonder Man, another white character created in the sixties. And who is played by\u00a0Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.\u00a0in the MCU. Marvel is about to start publishing\u00a0a new\u00a0Wonder Man\u00a0comic book series<\/a>\u00a0with the classic look of the character on the cover, but over in the\u00a0Ultimate Impact Reborn\u00a0series, looking at the impact of the\u00a0Ultimate Universe Origin Boxes, creating new superheroes and supervillains in the Marvel Universe, we just got two new characters announced at ComicsPRO by Marvel’s\u00a0David Gabriel. A new Wonder Man, a Black man taking on that role, and another new character Hostilicus, who has a\u00a0Hulk look about them.
