Everyone has their attention on Avengers: Doomsday<\/a><\/em>, the movie that will give us Robert Downey Jr.<\/a> as Doctor Doom, pit two teams of Avengers<\/a> against one another (and maybe the X-Men<\/a>?), and will restore the MCU <\/a>to its place of cultural dominance. But before worlds live and worlds die and the MCU will never be the same, we have a smaller Marvel adventure to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This December sees the release of Wonder Man<\/em>, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams. Wonder Man is one of Marvel’s stranger B-listers, a character first introduced as a muscular thug who gets duped into fighting the Avengers, and who dies in his first appearance in 1964’s Avengers<\/em> #9 (by Stan Lee<\/a>, Don Heck, and Jack Kirby<\/a>). Several years later, Wonder Man appeared again, sometimes as an actual brother to the villain the Grim Reaper, sometimes as a sort of brother to the Vision, sometimes as an ionic being, and sometimes as a handsome Hollywood star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\r\n\n\t\t
