  Has Marvel found Steve Rogers’s modern-day love interest? Sharon Carter (aka Agent 13 of SHIELD) is the descendant of Steve’s World War II love interest Peggy Carter. Emily Van Camp of ABC’s Revenge has been cast as Sharon in Captain America: The Winter Soldier according to Deadline.

  Van Camp plays Emily Thorne (real name Amanda Walker) on the hit series about a young woman seeking vengeance on the family that destroyed her father’s reputation and had him killed. This season the soap has ramped up the spy elements as Emily and her partner (who they jokingly call James Bond on the show because of his accent and skills) try to thwart the plans of a sinister society.

  Looks like this season has been practice if Van Camp is really signed on to play the SHIELD agent opposite Chris Evans!

Revenge & X-Men Crossover?

Tonight the new season of REVENGE begins on ABC so I thought it was a perfect time to revisit this crazy idea I had:

They’re rich, powerful, blonde, manipulative and can deliver razor-sharp one liners like Hand assassin throwing daggers.

Emma Frost is the reformed White Queen of the Hellfire Club and now co-leader of the X-Men.

Nolan Ross (played by Gabriel Mann) is the witty, scheming, brilliant high-tech billionaire with too much time, money and tech on the hit ABC show Revenge.

If ever too characters from similar worlds but different mediums should cross over it’s these two. As I watch Revenge I can’t help but think if Emma had a long-lost twin it might be Nolan. I could even picture Conrad Grayson sipping cocktails in the old school Hellfire Club – an exclusive cabal of ultra rich power brokers who have clashed with the X-Men.

This is what happens when a geek has too much time his hands – spinning two of my favorite vices into a twisted idea. Disney does own both companies behind these properties and I can see Frost on holiday in the Hamptons crossing paths with Ross, Emily Thorne – and can you imagine Emma taking out Victoria Grayson!

After all – most comic books are soaps in spandex – so why not let the characters fo Revenge feel a touch of Frost.

  Tonight is the finale of REVENGE on ABC so I thought it was a perfect time to revisit this crazy idea I had:

 They’re rich, powerful, blonde, manipulative and can deliver razor-sharp one liners like a Hand assassin throws a dagger.

  Emma Frost is the reformed White Queen of the Hellfire Club and now co-leader of the X-Men. Emma could teach Emily a few maneuvers!

  Nolan Ross (played by Gabriel Mann) is the witty, scheming, brilliant high-tech billionaire with too much time, money and tech on the hit ABC show Revenge.

  If ever too characters from similar worlds but different mediums should cross over its these two.  As I watch Revenge I can’t help but think if Emma had a long-lost twin it might be Nolan. Here’s to the “good” guys with an edge who keep us entertained.

 This is what happens when a geek has too much time his hands – spinning two of my favorite vices into a twisted idea. Disney does own both companies behind these properties and I can see Frost on holiday in the Hamptons crossing paths with Ross – if he survives tonight’s season finale. Here’s hoping because Revenge wouldn’t be as sweet without him!

X-Men Revenge Cross-Over Idea 2

Uncanny X-Men #123 featuring Arcade courtesy Marvel.com

  My obsessions are colliding again after the latest episode of Revenge. I always love seeing Roger Bart on screen. I was fortunate to see him on stage in a pre-Broadway version of Young Frankenstein the Musical in Seattle. Last night Bart guest starred on my favorite new television guilty pleasure as a bow tie wearing author.

 Every time I saw him I kept thinking this guy could play Arcade, the X-Men villain. The assassin-for-hire traps his targets in his Murderworlds – an amusement park style complex filled with high-tech deathtraps. Bart looks the part with the bow tie but has an extensive resume of characters that go frightfully unhinged right before our eyes.

  One theory of Arcade’s background is that he was a spoiled rich kid who killed his own father upon learning he was about to be disinherited. Arcade finally found something he was good at and used his fortune to build his Murderworlds. For the complete Arcade bio visit this Marvel link.

 And I still hold on to my earlier post that Emma Frost should visit the Hamptons to cross paths with the man who could be her twin – Nolan Ross.
