Alfred Molina’s portrayal in Spider-Man 2 immortalized the villain's tragedy on the big screen. Molina's Doctor Octopus starts out as a hero and a mentor to Peter Parker, loses control and becomes a full-fledged villain, and ultimately achieves a final act of redemption by sacrificing himself to undo his own catastrophic experiment. Marvel Zombies: Red Band 's Doc Ock might need to do something similar to save the Avengers from Zombie Phoe

During Lois Lane’s rooftop interview with Superman, she asks him why he’s here. With total sincerity, Christopher Reeve’s quintessential Man of Steel smiles and replies, "I’m here to fight for truth, and justice, and the American way." It’s an iconic line that perfectly defines Superman’s idealism and optimi

As shown in the previous issue and in previous iterations of Marvel Zombies , infected superhumans are extraordinarily durable, and even more intelligent than traditional zombies.

It’s the perfect introduction to Keaton’s version of the character: quiet, intense, and theatrical. The quote builds the mythos of Gotham’s urban legend in just a few words, blending noir cool with comic-book grandeur. Few openings have ever defined a hero so efficiently with this often overlooked quotat

Pro - Disney is a universal name with pockets so deep that God's hand would have a hard time reaching the bottom. Marvel is no slouch either in the household name department - but let's face it, they are no Disney. All that extra money, means way more marketing and increased traffic within the theme parks (sorry Universal but looks like you might lose the X-Men characters in your parad

What do you think of this mega-acquisition of Marvel by Disney ? Does it make you as apprehensive as me for the future or elated that we may have an enormous opportunity to see more comic films in the fut

Jon Favreau had commented on how he doesn’t know if they can do Iron Man 2 so quickly as he felt he’d need a full two years to make the sequel just as he did the first. At the same time, **Thor ** hadn’t even begun pre-production and it was rumored they were still sorting through script drafts – It wasn’t until September that they had found a director in Kenneth Brana

Yet, Doc Ock's plan to cremate Jean Grey before she turns into a zombie backfires in a way nobody expects. Instead of incinerating her body, Octopus' machine leads Jean to transform into the Phoenix, who may or may not also be a zombie. This version of Marvel Zombies ' infection may place Jean Grey in a similar spot as the MCU Marvel Zombies ' Scarlet Witch , who claims the title of the Red Queen, leader of all the und

After Avengers recruit Jean Grey is bitten by Daredevil, Captain America carries her to Otto Octavius' research station, where Doctor Octopus reveals Jean may quickly transform into the most powerful zombie. Instead of helping Jean fight the disease, which is technically impossible, Doc Ock plans to incinerate her.
