Ultraverse - The Forgotten Marvel Universe Of The 90s!
The Ultraverse is a forgotten corner of the Marvel Universe, packed with hidden superheroes from the 90s! Forget about Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine and The Avengers, it’s time to learn about Prime, Prototype, Nightman and The Ultraforce! Before the MCU, Hollywood went through a massive comic book boom in the early 90’s, as comics like The Mask, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Crow became big hits! Marvel Comics bought out one of their competitors, Malibu Comics, and merged their Ultraverse into the Marvel Universe! This launched Ultraforce the animated series, a video game and even a line of action figures! But it wasn’t long before Marvel cancelled Ultraforce and all the other Ultra-Heroes, making sure they’d never be seen ever again! Who were Ultraforce? Why did Marvel buy Malibu Comics only to shut them down? And why has Marvel tried to forget they ever existed?

Captain America (1990) The Forgotten Low Budget Marvel Movie Disaster! - Part Two
With the MCU’s Captain America Brave New World in cinemas, we head back to 1990 to look at the first-ever Captain America cinematic movie. How and why did this Marvel movie become a complete low budget disaster? We’ll take you behind-the-scenes on how Cannon Films got into the Marvel movie business, how JD Salinger’s son was cast as Steve Rogers, and how the whole production lost its entire six million dollar budget right before filming! It’s a crazy story of a film being re-written on the fly, cameras running out of film, and the studio hating the finished movie so much they re-edited the entire thing … and made it worse! We’ll also explore Captain America in the 1980’s to uncover perhaps the most interesting and political time in the history of the character. And we’ll deep-dive the movie scene-by-scene as only MVM can!
