A young listener caught the name of a character I mentioned briefly in Episode 85, and asked me to follow up with his history. This made me realize I had messed up in that episode, so I go over the history of the character I did name, plus dive into the backstory of the similarly named character I actually meant.

In this milestone episode, I look back to some earlier episodes, including the very first, to see what stories need updating. In addition, I talk about questions I’ve received that, while appreciated, will not be the basis for a future episode.

Started as their own separate story, the Eternals are now completely ingrained into the origins of the Marvel Universe.

Continuing our occasional look into the characters that have taken on the identity of an already established hero, this installment covers those who have become the hero that was literally the face of Marvel for many years, Spider-Man, including one of his arch-nemeses.
