    Haysbert is a good one. But my first choice is Kevin Grevioux.

    A Kenneth Rocafort Ultimates variant cover from the 'gram. BM deserves his own title and team.

    Just a quick update...

    Yes, Blue Marvel is in Doctor Doom #8. No, there's no reason to buy it. It's more of the same character destroying drivel where Adam is concerned. Your money and time is best spent elsewhere.

    Hmm. Been tracking the spoilers hoping it would get better. Well. Money saved.

    Damn. was hoping for something good for Adam. This year and damn sure Marvel hasn't been kind to Adam this year. I just wish some A-list writer would step up and take on the challenge of Adam. Ewing did what he could so I understand him stepping away from the character, but there is way too much potential for some of these other writers to not give Adam a real chance at realizing that potential.

    It doesn't even take a great writer, just someone who gets what Blue Marvel represents and shows it on panel. The rest of the Doom series isn't bad. If you like Doom, pick it up. But the Blue Marvel cosmic facet of the story should have been as simple as this...

    Three Scientists Enter a Collapsing Star (a.k.a., "Three Men Walk Into A Bar")

    After realizing the danger posed by the black hole, Adam and Dr. Doom cross the event horizon where they unexpectedly meet Dr. Doom's "good" counterpart from another dimension. Strictly out of love for Arthurian Lore, let's call "good" Doom the Green Knight. Adam, Victor and the Green Knight metaphorically speaking represent a Cosmic Trinity. To Master Order, Lord Chaos and the In-Betweener, or Father, Son and Holy Ghost, add our three scientific geniuses.

    Adam, Victor and the Green Knight quickly surmise that greater powers are behind the physics-breaking energies of the black hole. They encounter three hostile Infinites, cosmic beings perhaps even more powerful than Beyonders. (Remember them from Avengers: Infinity limited series?) Something must be done quickly before all is lost.

    The three stalwarts put their heads together to form an ad hoc plan and secrets are spilled. Both Dooms reveal that they each still harbor a tiny spark of the God Emperor power. (This explains why Dr. Doom's magical Seven Suns of Cinnibis (sp?) spell was much more powerful than it should have been.) For his part, Adam reveals that he also keeps a very powerful item on his person. He reaches into a hidden pouch to reveal a fragment of Neutronium. Neutronium is an extremely powerful, next level state of existence particle. It is lethal to Adam ... and others. Adam never leaves home without it. The Green Knight is shocked that a man would carry on his person the means to destroy himself. But Dr. Doom, practical to a fault, and a little dark in his own way, simply nods. He likes this Adam; he starts to think that he may have underestimated the man. That thematic realization -- men as the key to their own destruction -- serves as foreshadowing.

    Deploying their combined intellect and resources, the firm of Doom, Doom and Brashear create a McGuffin that is able to kill the first Infinite, only to use its powers to destroy the second, and finally the combined powers of the first two to destroy the third Infinite. But the battle does not go well, or easily. In the end the Infinites are defeated, but the doctors are also gravely injured. They have to flee, but one must remain to seal the portal behind them. Make no mistake, staying means absolute death. Not leaving anything to chance or debate, Dr. Doom decides who lives and who dies. He grabs Blue Marvel and hastily retreats, but not before Adam can grab the McGuffin. The Green Knight remains behind and dies closing the portal.

    In typical fashion, once safely back within the normal universe, Dr. Doom blasts Adam, attempting to wrest the McGuffin from him. But Adam has the McGuffin firmly in his grasp and his powers are quickly returning. He warns Doom that if he reaches out to grab him, he's going to lose that limb, and perhaps much more. Antimatter force field manifests and beckons to Doom to try his luck. Victor laughs and turns. Adam, not seeing the humor, asks Dr. Doom, "Why did you save me, instead of the "good" Doctor Doom?" Pulling his hood lower over his visage, Victor simply responds, "I don't know who that man is," and walks off. (There. That's all. That's your cosmic story.)

    As Doom fades in the distance, Uatu materializes beside Adam. "Adam, there is a great crisis coming. The multiverse needs you." And with that the Blue Marvel's next adventure begins.

    Bruh as usual in one post you have given more thought to Adam than the entirety of Marvel has since his creation. In a lot of ways it seems like they fear his potential. A blind man could see that stories for Adam could practically write themselves.

    Marvel should reboot the now-defunct Squadron Supreme and have Adam lead it, instead of Hyperion. That oughta do it.

    Thanks. Keeping the faith that one day Marvel will use a writer who gives a damn about Adam, his story and more importantly his potential. Until then....

    I hear what you're saying, but I still felt that when Ewing's profile was bumped higher to what it is now that we could see him do an even better job incorporating Adam especially since he was the main architect of the most recent event, but even he gets the memo that there will be no major pushes for Blue Marvel.

    Would Adam be better off in his own continuity?

    It's hard to say. Alternate continuities are seen as "less legitimate" than the main continuity, so there'll always be a glass ceiling in that regard.
