From June to August in 1982, Marvel dared to dream a little more limited. That’s right, rather than go big, Marvel went small publishing its first ever limited series crossover event, Marvel  Hero - Contest of Champions. Despite the singular hero, there turns at to be lots of super heroes, like all of them and few more to appeal to the vital burgeoning European Union market. KMac & Yek Big Swig there way through this event with you for all things that went on to change the Universe of the Marvel: How racist can 80s Marvel characters get? Who is this not some mysterious stranger? & Can 80s Marvel employees count? Hey, look it’s the Illuminati, Drink!

The Team that mined this gem:

• Writers: Mark Gruenwald & Bill Mantlo
• Artist: John Romita, Jr. (Less scratchy scratchy)        
•  Inks: Pablo Marcos     
• Colors: Andy Yanchus (& in her only Marvel Credit, Patricia DeFalco!)
• Editors: Mark Gruenwald & Tom DeFalco
• EIC: Jim Shooter        

Breakdown: The Grandmaster plays a Mysterious Stranger (cough, cough,…Death) in a game of superhero teams capture the 4 parts of the golden sphere flag around the world. 

Heroes Marvel created for this series to pump up those international sales:
(Hero Name, Country, Powers, How Racist?)

• Collective Man, China, Han, Chang, Lin, Sun and Ho Tao-Yu 5 Bros, Like a team of all China in 5 bros,  All those Chinese people’s skills and abilities, A communal yeah.
•  Shamrock, Ireland, Good luck power from the poltergeists of war victims/ Unflattering costume, A wee las of stereotyping
• Talisman, Australia, Dreamtime Bull-Roarering, Standard 80s “That’s not a knife…”
• Le Peregrine, Combinaison de vol savate; Oui oui, formage.
• Defensor, Brazil (but he speaks the Spanich?), Capitán Argentina/Pantera Negra, A little more offensive than defensive with the sexism.
• Blitzkrieg (Der) West Germany, Electrokinesis, Cannot we still bag on Germans even though they aren’t Nazis anymore?

 Rounding out the obscure international flava:
(Hero, Country, How Racist?)

• Arabian Knight, Arabian Desert, Like textbook trope racism with some sexism. 
• Sabra, Israel, Like the hummus brand that shares her name. 
• Sunfire , Japan, No R, but helluva sexist. 
• Darkstar & Vanguard, Mother Russia, It’s the 80s! Bag away on the Commies. 
• Sasquatch, Canada, Sooo much Big-Footism!

The Shakeout:

•  Artic Chill Out: Daredevil sure can float well into a globe piece (+1 GM).
•  Western Ghost Town Shoot Out: Arabian Knight likes baked globe piece bread (+1 D).
•  Emperor Tomb Dead Off: Thing can dig that alien globe piece stench Wolvie & Panthy can smell (+1 GM).
• Amazon Jungle Off: Tropical Blitzkrieg thunder is no match for upside down growing Shamrock (+1 D).

It’s a tie: 2 to 2!

Winner: Grandmaster! He won 3 to 1! That’s right 3 to 1! Elder of the Universe math is beyond your mortal mind. Oh, but Death is a tricky lady.

Spring is in full swing and our fridge is packed with more winter beers than refugees needing repatriation in the MCU. In order to keep from can clanging our Wakandan metal arms every time we reach for the pickle jar, we need to do some serious beer podcast show work. What better way to suds soda spring clean than with a live stream commentary watching the season finale Episode 6 of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. 

SPOILERS GALORE WITH A DOSE OF SNARK!

All this bee infused insight: 

·         How strong is Our Movement? Do we have many Followers?

·         How are there refugees when everybody’s country is still there? We get some parents didn’t want their kids back when they blinked back, but no need to repatriate strays, right?

·         Live beer cracking calling out all Sam Wilson’s dope CA flight moves!

·         Thank god Luke Skywalker is getting a robot arm!

·         Wondering how the Flag Smashers smash flags without maces?

·         Debuting little Kurt Ego the Living Plant's boy as the Flag Smasher Smasher!

•  Superman vs Batman - Batman The Dark Knight Returns #4 (1986)

We all know this one. Old man Batman outsmarts and bashes Ma & Pa Kent’s boy into the Gotham dirt. How come it’s so easy to clean up Crime Alley? How did Supes Vs. Batman include this fight, the Doomsday fight, & Wonder Woman then turn out that s*** celluloid?

Remember that time you were born with your twin brother to a wayward single-mom frightened by her mad mutant love, Mags, birthed by an anthropomorphic cow midwife on Wundagore Mountain & were marked as the vessel by the evil Elder God Chthon?

Yeah, good times. Baby, crazy looks good on you.

2nd Breakdown: Immortus Long Con (Avengers West Coast 47-57, 60-62)
Remember that time you were the object of a super long con by 'Morty in that he tricked you into marrying a synthezoid, birthing devil energy babies, getting enthralled by an ancient symbiotic parasite, getting enthralled as the bride of a snake Elder God, having your babies turned into the hands of a demon man ala Sock Puppet Babies, & then snapping to try and help daddy Mags destroy all humanity, just so 'Morty could use you as a reality-nexus anchor to impress three lame-o time gods? Yeah, good times. Double crazy looks even better. 

3rd Breakdown: (Avengers Dissembled/House of M): 
Remember that time you warped reality to romance Captain America, get Tony Stark fake drunk, animate Agatha Harkness’ corpse, and kill Ant-Man and Hawkeye with every villain in the Avenger’s bad guy deck all ‘cause you forgot you had fake demon energy babies, then you made a new reality with Mags as overlord? Well, after you snapped harder & wiped at all mutants. Yeah, good times. Damn vixen triple cray cray style.

Super team villainy doesn't always work out the first time so maybe it's time to give it a go again nearly three decades later. Grab your favorite cassette singles and ride along with KMac & Yek as the drive you through the wild 90s appearances of of the Sinster 6. You know that means guns, edgy anti-hero cameos, and some sweet, sweet outfits.  Nice Zubaz you got there, Flash Thompson!

2nd Appearance - Amazing Spiderman #334 (July 90) - #339 (Sep 90)
Revived by David Michelinie & Erik Larsen, because it’s been 26 years.

Scenario:
Doc Ock, “Ok, this time we skip Spider-Man, we get poison & a satellite. Need a Kraven replacement, though. Oh, I also got a new tailor”

Dumb 4, “Works for us, but get the crazy version of Hobgoblin, bring back those assignment cards. Also no double crossies and more cameos.”

New #6:

• Hobgoblin Jason (Philip Macendale, Jr.): I’m better than Kraven, & so am I!

3rd Appearance - Spiderman #18 (Jan 92) - #23 (June 92)
Rehased even more 90s by Erik Larsen, because, damn, I got deadlines.

Scenario:
Doc Ock, “Ok, I got adamantium arms, we get lots of extra-dimensional guns that look like regular gun, and we go for more satellites”

Dumb 4 -1, “Works for us, but no double crossies & turn Sandman back into glass. Ditch the assignment cards, but keep the cameos, but cool 90s guys like Sleepwalker.”

Redo #5:

• Gog (Gog): My monster heart ain’t in this, probably a bad call to replace Sandman with me.

1st Appearance - Amazing Spiderman Annual #1 (Oct 64):

Birthed by Lee & Ditko, promo partners par excellence!

Scenario:

Doc Ock, “What if we get a crew together, and fight Spider-Man individually until maybe one of us beats him?”

Dumb 5, “Works for us, as long we get assignment cards and lots of Marvel cameos.”

 The 6:

• Electro (Maxwell "Max" Dillon): I designed the hood myself!
• Kraven (Sergei Nikolaevich Kravinoff): Kraven son of Kraven, fear my kitties!
