Inspired by the guest appearance of Lorelei and Lady Sif from Thor and news of a Hulk enemy joining Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I’m inspired to think of a perfect nemesis for Agent Coulson and his squad.

 

Dr. Karla Sofen aka Moonstone!

 

The villain’s powers are derived from a Kree gravity stone bonded to her nervous system giving her super strength, flight, super speed, gravity manipulation, energy blasting powers and more. Continue reading Villain Wish For MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD

Sif (Jaime Alexander) thundered into this week’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in pursuit of the seductive Lorelei – a renegade Asgardian on Earth.

 

It’s the second citizen from Thor’s realm to appear on the series. Peter MacNichol played Dr. Elliot Randolph in an episode set in the aftermath of Thor: The Dark World. Randolph turned out to be an ancient Asgardian who’d been living on Midgard for years.

 

Sif’s spectacular guest appearance inspired this wish list of more enemies from Thor’s world who could appear on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or in THOR 3. Continue reading More Villains For THOR and AGENTS OF SHIELD

From Thor: The Dark World to Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – Jaime Alexander reprises her role as Lady Sif on the ABC series on March tonight.

 

Sif’s return to Midgard (what the Asgardians call Earth) is tied to the debut of the villainess Lorelei, who appeared in the final moments of last week’s issue.

 

Sif’s television debut coincides with the 50th Anniversary of the hero. As pointed out by Marvel’s Brett White, Sif made her comic book debut in Journey Into Mystery #2 back in 1964.

THOR: THE DARK WORLD opens Friday. Chris Hemsworth reprises his role as the Avenger from Asgard for third time. If this big movie is your third or first time seeing the Thunder God in action here’s a guide for Thor virgins or hammer wielding fans who want to get a refresher. Given the response to my Avengers for Virgins post I wanted to give an update of fun Thor basics and what to watch for in the sequel!

 

Comic Book Origin: Thor was co-created by the legendary Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby in Journey Into Mystery in 1963 and based on Norse mythology. The hammer wielding God of Thunder was a founding member of the Avengers as they assembled against the threat of his brother, Loki.

 

Where: Asgard is one of the Nine Realms. Earth is one of them but it’s called Midgard. Continue reading THOR: THE DARK WORLD for Virgins
