DISTANT SONS (1995-1996)

Every super-team in the '90s needed their Wolverine - a maverick character with a mystery past. And if one wasn't available to suck into your line-up, you had to invent one. Century filled that position in Iron Man's Force Works team, but he wasn't the kind of guy a teenage reader wanted to aspire to. But who was this mystery alien and why should we care?

  • Century: Distant Sons #1
Force Works #15
USAgent returns to Force Works' HQ - the Works - to discover alien invaders have shut the entire base down and placed the team in portable cryo-chambers. Century teleports USAgent to a chamber below the Works none of them knew existed, discovering Iron Man has been ordering in tech from Timely, Wisconsin. Century reveals their enemy is the Broker, his former owner. USAgent tricks the Broker and Century cuts his hand off, freeing his other slaves. Century agrees to return the other aliens to their home planets, heading into space in the hope of learning about his past...

Force Works #16
In space, Century continues his journey with the Broker's former-slaves, trying to stop them from killing the Broker as they go and continuing to search out the secrets of his own past. On Earth, Spider-Woman trains with new team-mate and love-interest, Moonraker. USAgent tells the Scarlet Witch about the secret room and strange technology he found below The Works and wonders if Iron Man's up to no good.
Century: Distant Sons #1
The Broker convinces his former slaves to betray Century and take him to the moon that used to circle his home planet Hodomur until it was destroyed by a world-devouring creature called Lore. The remnants of Century's people turned Century into a being capable of destroying Lore, but he was captured by the alien Scatter and used by them to raid what was left of the worlds Lore had ravaged. 

The Broker sells Century to Imogen who uses his dimension-hopping powers to take her to Azimuth's stronghold to steal an artefact called the Crucible. Azimuth is about to reveal more of Century's past to him when Imogen magically assaults her, wiping her mind. The Broker tries to steal the Crucible from Imogen, but Century beheads him. Imogen escapes with the Crucible. The freed slaves agree to band together, while Century decides Earth is now his home and he wants to go back...

MARVEL MONSTERS (2005)

One of Marvel's fifth-week events from 2005 centred around the classic Marvel Monsters that would invade the pages of Strange Tales , Journey into Mystery , Amazing Adventures , Tales to Astonish and Tales of Suspense every month, before the age of heroes. While it was an okay event at best, the four one-shots finally established that those behemoths from outer space and other dimensions did actually inhabit the Marvel Universe ! The highlight is the Hulk 's clash with Devil Dinosaur (a character who was first introduced in the 1970s), but we also found out what some of these creatures had been up to since their early '60 debuts, an untold tale of the time some of the Marvel U's more monstrous heroes gathered to fight them and, finally, the introduction of the  Fin Fang Four ! The featured stories aren't connected and most issues also featured reprints of classic Marvel Monster tales. Marvel Monsters: Devil Dinosaur #1 [1/2] Marvel Monsters: Monsters on the Prow...

ISLAND OF THE DAMNED (1972)

It's Halloween, so how's about a little old school werewolf action ?  Around this time, Marvel had a tendency to try new characters out in titles like Marvel Spotlight or Marvel Premiere , then give them their own series if they proved to be popular. However, the characters' first issues often carried on the story from those other books, so you'd pick up issue 1 only to find yourself in the middle of an ongoing tale (for other examples, see Captain Marvel in THE COMING OF CAPTAIN MARVEL or Adam Warlock in COUNT-DOWN FOR COUNTER-EARTH ). In the Werewolf By Night 's case, this little two-parter featuring his search for the Darkhold  would flow from Marvel Spotlight into his very own ongoing series. Jack Russell has only recently discovered his true family legacy and that Phillip Russell , the man he believed to be his father, is actually his uncle. His biological father, Baron Gregory Russoff (Phillip's brother), was a magic user and werewolf. Jack inherite...
