Strong Guy Watch: Let’s Tease X-Men ’97 Even More!
This weekend, we got another trailer for the upcoming second season of X-Men ’97. And it’s not so much a trailer as it is a who’s who of X-Characters who are going to appear this season! And we already knew this was happening, but how cool is it that both Strong Guy and Multiple Man get mentions?!
I can’t wait. The first season was one of the best TV shows of the past few years, and all the trailers for season 2 so far look amazing. It’s just so exciting that my favorite superhero, Multiple Man, gets to exist in an adaptation in the first place and not be a villain. And then he gets to exist in one of his greatest forms, the 1990s X-Factor form. That’s when I fell in love with the character, in large part due to that awesome trench coat costume! And then Strong Guy too!
The only shame is that we haven’t seen Iceman yet. You can’t imagine how cool it was for me as a kid to have both Iceman and Multiple Man in the same episode of the original series!
Season 2 of X-Men ’97 is coming to Disney+ on July 1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/21/24
It’s apparently X-Men week in my comic reviews! The only comics I ended up reading and reviewing this week are parts of From the Ashes. And they’re all good comics! So I’m thrilled to read the likes of X-Factor and X-Men.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Dazzler #1 because it’s a near perfect debut for a comic I feel like I manifested out of pure hopes and dreams.
Meanwhile, I’m still enjoying Star Wars: Outlaws. I’m stretching it out nicely so that I don’t need to worry about getting a new game anytime soon, though the endgame is drawing closer. Fun stuff. I loved the first two episodes of Agatha All Along, and the first episode of The Penguin. So things are really darn good these days, pop culture consumption wise.
Comic Reviews: Dazzler #1, X-Factor #2 and X-Men #4.
Read the rest of this entryApparently This Dazzler Comic is Being Made For Me Specifically
I posted yesterday that Marvel had announced a Dazzler comic book. I didn’t know when they would reveal the creative team and the plot, but I assumed it would be soon. It’s today. We know all the details today. And, you guys, this comic is being made specifically for me.
First off, I’ve wanted a Dazzler solo series for years, as I mentioned before. A superhero who is also a world-touring music star? That’s such a unique and potentially fun premise! Well now we know even more: this Dazzler comic will feature Multiple Man and Strong Guy as members of the supporting cast.
You guys! What the heck?! I was hoping Multiple Man and Strong Guy would be on the new X-Factor, but this is even better! Supporting cast members in a Dazzler world tour comic?! Did I pitch this comic to Marvel and not realize it?
Nope! This comes from up-and-coming writer Jason Loo, whom I love. This dude is single-handedly taking back Multiple Man and Strong Guy. He’s been writing them as part of the Marvel Unlimited Infinity Comics, which are digital comics. And he apparently pitched this Dazzler book — which is a limited, 4-issue series — with artist Rafael Loureiro.
It’s also going to feature Domino, Shark-Girl and Wind Dancer, so that’s neat. But yeah. Holy crap, you guys. Hook this comic right to my freakin’ veins!
Also, Jason Loo, I know you don’t know me, but we should be friends and talk comics sometime!

Strong Guy Watch: Didn’t See This Coming!
There was a super surprise Strong Guy appearance this week and I need to tell somebody! I’ve been following random Strong Guy appearances for years now, just because it’s fun. He’s a great character and doesn’t appear very often. And now he’s had one of his greatest appearances of all time.
But I won’t spoil it here. You’re going to have to join me after the jump for the big Strong Guy reveal! I warn you, only click this link if your love of Strong Guy outweighs your concerns about spoilers, and if you’re fully up to speed on X-Men projects.
There will only be light spoilers.
Read the rest of this entryStrong Guy Watch: Wolverine Team-Up
This blog, the one you’re reading right now, remains the #1 place on the internet to track where Strong Guy shows up in comics. I’ve been doing it for a couple of years now and am still having fun. People actually pay attention. And Strong Guy remains both cool and used in random appearances.
The latest continues to be the Marvel Unlimited X-Men comic. Last issue Strong Guy showed up in an awesome adventure with his best pal, Madrox the Multiple Man. In the newest issue, released last week, Strong Guy has a team-up with Mr. X-Man himself, Wolverine!
I won’t spoil what the duo get up to in this issue, but how cool is it that Guido gets to be written and drawn by Declan Shalvey? And he gets a team-up with Wolverine? Krakoa has been really good to our boy Strong Guy, and I look forward to pointing out more of his random awesome appearances.
Keep watching the comics, Strong Guy Watchers!
