Today, we wanted to focus on a character from the Marvel Comics universe that is relatively unknown to the general public. It's about Blue Marvel, an overpowered hero capable of competing against characters like Sentry or Hyperion. He also, with the help of Captain Marvel, managed to find a way to beat Galactus. So who is Blue Marvel?
In 2009, Kevin Grevioux imagined a new character. Indeed, he created Blue Marvel, which first appeared in the comic book Adam: Legend of the Blue Marvel #1. Real name Adam Brashear, he is one of Earth-616's most brilliant scientists. A Korean War veteran, Adam Brashear is above all an expert in antimatter, in theoretical physics. Helped by his best friend Conner Sims, who will later become the supervillain Anti-Man, the two men embark on experiments around antimatter. They thus design a bridge between the Negative Zone and the Positive Zone of the universe. A reactor with an unlimited source of clean energy. Due to the unexpected reactor explosion, Braschear and Sims are then exposed to mutagens and radiation that grant them virtually limitless cosmic powers.
While Conner Sims is seemingly disintegrated by the accident, Adam Brashear becomes a living reactor and uses his powers for good under the alias of Blue Marvel. A retroactive story within the comics since it took place in the years 1950-1960. Blue Marvel even crossed paths with President Kennedy who asked him to retire because the world wasn't ready to see a black superhero yet. But when Anti-Man makes his appearance, Blue Marvel decides to return to service.
Stronger than Galactus?
In the 2000s, Blue Marvel resumed her career and even became a member of the Avengers. A few years later, he created with Captain Marvel a new team called the Ultimates. A team of superheroes tasked with solving problems of cosmic proportions. Around this time, Blue Marvel has become a pacifist, and tries to resolve all of its issues nonviolently. One of the team's first projects is to unravel the Galactus problem. Blue Marvel then finds a way to settle the hunger of Galactus, who then no longer needs to feed on entire planets to survive.
Despite his power and compelling story, Blue Marvel has always remained a supporting character in the Marvel Comics Universe. But currently, things are starting to change for this character, who is starting to come back to the fore. He could even potentially join the MCU soon. It's high time the world discovered Blue Marvel!
