    Default What is the Marvel version of Galaxy Communications?

    What is the Marvel version of Galaxy Communications? My previous searches has resulted in no answers. I didn't know where else to post this, so I decided to post it in this forum since this is the closest enough for this type of question to be asked. People who read more comics than I do, please help me with this. Thank you.

    I'm not sure that there is one. Roxxon maybe?

    I do not know of any communication devices, but didn't Moondragon and Professor X communicate via their telepathy to other galaxies?

    Does Marvel need one?

    The main question to ask is which Marvel characters are most involved with broadcast television these days, and that might steer you to the answer you're looking for. As far as I'm aware, Galaxy Communications really became a "thing" because DC decided to move Clark Kent away from being a newspaper reporter into the world of television journalism back in the early 1970s.

    You clearly don't know what Galaxy Communications was. It was a TV channel from 1970s Superman comics. So the Marvel equivalent would be either the Fact Channel (from the spider books, Silk and J Jonah Jameson's former employer) or MUTV (which seems to have just started being used in the X books - notably, it shares the same name as Manchester United FC's TV station). The cartoons have DBC, which stands for Daily Bugle Communications.

    If we're including movies, the MCU has WHIH as a sort of CNN type thing that appeared in Ant-Man and Captain America: Civil War as well as the first couple of seasons of Agents of SHIELD (where I believe it initially debuted).

    For future reference, it might have helped to explain what Galaxy Communications was since initial answer was going to be "Kree Omniwave Projector."

    You are correct, I don't. Never, ever heard of it before! Thanks for the explanation.

    maybe something needs to be created, some TV anchor/pundit personalities who can have guest appearances in various titles.

    Yeah, I thought it was some galactic communication device, in which I was going to say that some characters get a lot of use out of Loki's magical cellphone spell.

    Why? Because you know what they're talking about while us young ones are scratching our heads?

    Is this an age thing or a Marvel vs. DC thing?

    Sounds like it may be a bit of both.

    I mean, I said Kree Omniwave Projector, which certainly is a young man's term.
