Hero Spotlight: Black Widow | Red Room Takeover
Hey there True Believers! And Welcome to the Red Room! I did what I’m calling a Hero Spotlight! And today we have Black Widow! Though her movie isn’t out until July, I’ve done several things to celebrate this S.H.I.E.L.D. spy turned Avenger that is near and dear to all of our hearts!
Dark Dimension Chapter 4
Dark Dimension Chapter 4: The Red Room available now! So, if you’re familiar with Face Front then you’re familiar with Secret Wars. Dark Dimension Chapter 4: The Red Room pits Black Widow against the fearsome Taskmaster! Head over to the Dark Dimension Homepage and make sure you cast your vote for who should win the shard of the Tesseract this month: S.H.I.E.L.D. or HYDRA! Hurry, voting for Chapter 4, along with your chance to win the Prize Bundle, ends on May 31! (0:35-1:12)
Black Widow’s Red Room Piroshki’s
Dinner and a show! I successfully turned our kitchen into a Red Room itself and made a delicious Russian dish called Piroshki’s! It’s just meat and cheese and sometimes potatoes (which I used as a side) stuffed in dough, nothing to it! Now how did I make our kitchen red? Well, I covered the lights with fragments of a red tablecloth and viola! One delicious Black Widow themed meal, one awesome Red Room, and one mildly amused family! (1:13-2:45)
Marvel’s Avengers Red Room Takeover
Of course, you all should know that Marvel’s Avengers has been running their Red Room Takeover event in the game! It’s so fun to ring out AIM bots in the techno-lava. I did quite a bit of bot-bashing as Ms. Marvel, Iron Man, and none other than Black Widow herself! Of course, though, with baddie ring outs, there’s bound to be some… mistakes… (2:46-7:50)
I hope you all enjoyed this Hero Spotlight! I definitely hope to do more, this was really fun! Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Dark Dimension Chapter 4: The Red Room
The Story
The Secret War is over! There is only the Dark Dimension! In this new, narrative based version of Secret Wars, players will follow Nick Fury and Doctor Strange, or Red Skull and Dormammu, as they traverse the desolate Dark Dimension in hopes of changing reality to either save, or enslave, the Marvel Universe.
Chapter 4: The Red Room, reveals that S.H.I.E.L.D. has claimed the third shard of the Tesseract! This has been reflected in the progress bar on the Dark Dimension Homepage:
Fury and Skull now find themselves in the midst of Season 5 of the original Secret Wars, and for the True Believers out there with a keen memory, you know that means Black Widow vs. Taskmaster! Now, Marvel Studio’s Black Widow was supposed to come out last May (thanks a lot, COVID) so that’s why I themed Secret Wars Season 5 around it. The movie was then supposed to come out this May (yesterday, actually) but it got pushed again to July 9. But no reason we can’t have more Black Widow movie-inspired content now! Consider it my gift to you!

Marvel Legends Deluxe Black Widow
I got my hands on a Marvel Legends Deluxe Black Widow figure! Sporting her white suit from the Marvel’s Black Widow film (now releasing November 6), this version of Natasha is nothing to mess around with! She’s got tons of accessories, and the featured item, a stand!
Hasbro has gone above and beyond with this figure, and the stand with all of the effects is certainly something that adds flare to 1 of 4 Black Widow figures released in this movie tie-in wave of Marvel Legends. I hope they continue to do things like this. After all, if a Deluxe figure isn’t going to be mega-sized like Monster Venom, then something is needed to justify the value!
That’s it for this figure! Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Secret Wars Season 5: Black Widow
Season 5 of Secret Wars is here! And this time around, the theme is Black Widow! The movie may have been pushed to November 6, but you can get your Black Widow fill here in Secret Wars! We’ve got a couple of new features and announcements!
Solo Missions
This season introduces Solo Missions! Based on Marvel’s Black Widow, you can now play one of two Solo Missions depending on your faction:
S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents can now access Taskmaster’s Siege! Taskmaster has planted bombs on the Helicarrier, and it’s up to you to find and disarm them!
HYDRA Agents have access to Black Widow’s Revenge! Before his siege on the Helicarrier, you must aid Taskmaster in downloading training footage of Black Widow and memorizing her moves to take her down!
Completing Solo Missions will help to bolster your team’s Assist in the VS Mode!
Assists
In addition to the Solo Missions, two new Hero and Villain Assists have been assigned for the month: Black Widow and Taskmaster! They will be crucial in aiding in the VS Mode, which could turn the tide of the Secret War!
That’s a whole heap of super-spy action! If you’ve never played Secret Wars before now, this is the time to jump in! Click Here to learn how to play if you don’t already know. That’s it for now, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Secret Wars!

Black Widow Teaser
So the new Black Widow teaser trailer dropped! To commemorate this moment, I dug my Red Guardian figure out of the pile of Marvel Legends he was sitting in, a figure I only bought for the Giant-Man Build-A-Figure, and took this picture!
I posted it on my Marvel Legends action figure group, but all anyone could talk about was Taskmaster’s suit missing the mark! Not one comment on how awesome my picture was! So I gave in and made this:
Anyways, here’s the trailer, in case you’ve been living under a rock! The long and short of it: Looks awesome, love Widow’s new suit(s), Yelena had better steal the show, the Red Guardian suit looks legit, and I hope Taskmaster’s powers are represented well.

Welcome to Marvel City
Hasbro, eat your heart out! Welcome to the future! Welcome, to Marvel City! I had time, I was bored, so why not?
Looks like All-New, All-Different Spider-Man has a bird’s eye of the entire scene below!
A city of heroes…
Bound by honor…
To protect it at all costs!
Captain America, Sentinel of Liberty and the First Avenger, never relents in the fight against the forces of HYDRA!
Black Bolt has something to say, and when he talks, people listen!
Wasp patrols the skies, while Thor summons strength from Odin in Asgard above! And Star-Lord’s always ready for action! But where’d his tunes go?
Of course, no one stands a chance when Iron Man and War Machine team up to take down the bad guys!
Lifelong friends Spider-Woman and Captain Marvel are two women you DO NOT want to mess with! Unless you want a venom blast and a cosmic punch to the face! And is that Vision phasing through the ground behind them?
Speaking of Venom, what rock did this Sinister Symbiote crawl from under?
Falcon soars high, but a particularly sneaky Black Cat gets away with some pilfered goods! Oh Felicia, will you ever learn?
By the Ruby Rings of the Crimson Bands of the Hoary Hosts… Whatever! Doctor Strange is here to make with the hocus pocus!
Black Widow gives Hawkeye a lift on her sweet ride, they always worked better as a team! Let’s just hope that Ms. Marvel can stop fangirling long enough to Embiggen!
‘Ol J. Jonah Jameson isn’t too happy with all these superheroes tearing things up outside of Bugle offices! It doesn’t help that Giant-Man is mocking him either…
There are tales… legends of a Spirit of Vengeance… The Ghost Rider, making the best of a deal with the devil!
What did Deadpool get himself into this time? Maybe a certain Infinity Gauntlet-wielding Mad Titan wasn’t too fond of Lady Death’s fascination with this clown…
Looks like the newest Spider-Man on the block, Miles Morales, snagged a classic Spidey baddy, the Shocker! Great job Miles!
Meanwhile, the Immortal Iron Fist has engaged the terrible Taskmaster in combat! Don’t use your best moves Danny, you know he can copy them!
Storm and Silk watch over the city, a valiant long-time member of the X-Men, and a Spider trying to find her place in the world after 10 years away…
Bravery is not measured in size, and Rocket and Baby Groot prove that throwing down with one of the biggest Marvel villains out there, the Rhino!
But there are always bigger Marvel villains, lurking in the distance…
But here to protect his city is none other than Daredevil! Keeping a watchful… ear, from above! And Spider-Gwen aka Ghost Spider doesn’t look stressed, she’s listening to the latest hit from her band the Mary Janes! Wait… there’s Star-Lord’s tunes! Dang it Gwen!
But down below, titans clash, as Hulk pins down one of his worst foes, the Abomination!
This Marvel power couple knows no bounds, Cyclops and Phoenix are always here to save the day, and mutant-kind!
And bow down (wait, they don’t do that there…) for the King of Wakanda, Black Panther! With Okoye by his side, nothing’s getting past him! Wakanda forever!
So there you have it. Heroes…
That swore to fight.
To stand for justice.
To Assemble. In our darkest hours.
And to let us know, that they will always be here.

Infinity War Super Bowl Spot!
First, this:
And now bullet points! Don’t act like you don’t know me by now!
-
Well, Peter is clearly comfortable with Dr. Strange knowing his identity.
-
I wish Wanda would stop messing with the dang Mind Stone.
-
Guardians are rolling like straight up G’s.
-
“It’s all been leading to this.” A little on the nose there, Tony, but that’s fine.
-
Pretty confined space for Rocket, Groot, and Thor! And is Groot on a cellphone? Or is that his video game from the end of Vol. 2?
-
Dang Loki…
-
Peter’s going to space!?! And he’s in the Homecoming suit, not the Iron Spider, look closely!
-
Cap and Widow are ready for battle, but maybe not Vision… Look, he’s holding his side! I guess he got hurt.
-
Yes Thor, we’ve been ready since 2008. Again, on the nose, but that’s fine.
-
Well, it’s not red, white and blue… or even a circle… but Cap’s new shield is at least still made of Vibranium, so… yay! Good to know they got that man a shield.
-
A little Superior Iron Man tech in there…
-
Teen Groot ready to fight!
-
Oh, good to see Nebula… And still not Hawkeye…
-
Outrider Invasion!
-
Black Widow hitching a ride with Okoye and some other Wakandans, no big.
-
Heeeeeere’s Bucky!
-
Science/Magic combo attack!
-
And the money shot again!
And for that last shot of Thanos, well, I’ll just leave this here…

Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Breakdown
So I’m sure we’ve all seen the Avengers: Infinity War trailer (over, and over again). Now let’s go over what exactly we saw (over, and over again)! Bullet point time! You know I love my bullet points! Also, if for some weird reason you haven’t seen it, SPOILERS for Thor: Ragnarok ahead!
-
We open with Nick Fury’s “There was an idea…” speech from The Avengers, with everyone tagging in, and a slow piano riff of the Avengers theme… Yeah, immediate shot for the feels.
-
We see a sad, distraught Tony. Maybe his Age of Ultron nightmare coming true? That’s exactly what I think of when I see him like this.
-
Strange and Wong found Bruce in a hole!
-
Well, no more speculation on that Vision/Scarlet Witch romance. He even made himself a real boy and everything! You know, aside from that glaring Infinity Stone in his forehead. He probably has to wear a hat when they go on dates… And I have officially put too much thought into this. Moving on.
-
What is Thor looking at? Are those windows on the Milano? Or a condensed version of Yggdrasil? We know Asgard is a spaceship now, so they had to take the World Tree with them, right? I know they didn’t necessarily have a lot of time to pack…
-
So that whole “Bruce Banner may never come back” thing was a false alarm. Good, we need Bruce, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to design Hulkbuster 2.0! Just wait, Hasbro Build-A-Figure in development now.
-
How can we change Natasha’s hair this time? Make it blonde! Sold!
-
Okay, well if we direct our attention towards the Sanctum’s staircase, we can find the hole Bruce fell through, more likely as the Hulk. Probably explains why Tony’s there too. People have also pointed out he’s holding the phone Cap gave him, so good eye!
-
Spider-Sense! Yes!!!!!
-
People have pointed out that it looks like Strange, Banner, and Wong are all frozen in time, which at second glance it does look like that. They also stated that Tony’s immune because of the Arc Reactor, which we’ve seen defends against Infinity stones in the past (aka Loki’s performance issues). I mean, the Arc Reactor was based on Howard Stark’s research into the Tesseract, so that’s all well and good. My only problem with this theory is that this scene seems to take place moments after the scene in the Sanctum, where Strange is wearing the Eye of Agamotto, and the only way you can freeze time is with the Eye of Agamotto, so technically he shouldn’t be frozen, right? Curious, guess we’ll have to wait and see.
-
This is why I hate Loki! They just went through all that trouble saving all those Asgardians in Thor: Ragnarok, and because stupid Loki had to grab the stupid Tesseract, now they’re all dead. Way to go. As I said in my Ragnarok review, Thanos is just making good on his promise. The whole “No crevasse, no barren moon we can’t find you” deal. I can only imagine that if Ronan had made off with the Power Stone then we’d be seeing some star ways bathed in his blood.
-
Don’t know why people keep saying Thanos looks like Bruce Willis merged with a purple Homer Simpson, I think he looks cool.
-
Iron Spider! With light up eyes! OMG!!!! Some All-New, All-Different influence in there, I see you Marvel!
-
My friend suggested that looks like a giant forge, and Thor is rebuilding Mjolnir. I don’t think Thor should be going off on side quests in Avengers movies (again), but hey, if Thanos just wrecked what’s left of Asgard and threw me and Hulk across space, I’d want my all powerful magic hammer back too.
-
That’s Proxima Midnight. Hard to see, but it’s her. Throwing her stupid spear.
-
Yeah! Get Captain “Bum-Beard” America a shield!
-
Okay, that thing Black Panther is fighting is that four-armed creepy alien thing from the 2013 Infinity storyline, the one that creeped in on Black Bolt while he was sleeping. Don’t know why I specifically remember that, but I do. I think it’s called an Outrider. Aka Chitauri 2.0.
-
Poor Spider-Man!
-
That’s the foot, tattered cloak, and spear of Corvus Glaive. The one violently tearing the Mind Stone from Vision’s forehead. Poor Vison.
-
So, he’s already been to Xandar and Asgard. At least that’s what I gather from the Power and Space Stones in his gauntlet there.
-
Poor Iron Man. Homeboy just got flat laid out.
-
Sam says: Pew, pew all the Outriders!
-
Cap! Black Panther! War Machine (back on his feet)! Falcon! Black Widow! Winter Soldier! Okoye! The Hulk! And the full might of Wakanda! CHARGE!
-
If you didn’t cry when they played the Avengers theme at literally the perfect moment, it’s confirmed, you have no soul.
-
Hey! There’s the Guardians of the Galaxy!
So that’s a lot to unpack! Kind of justifies why it took me this long, right? Right? Oh whatever, you try running a blog and living a life! Anyways, I’m excited, I can only assume you guys are excited, so let me know in the comments! Theories, Easter eggs, references, callbacks, anything! We’re all super fans here, so let’s talk. Alright guys, I’ll see in the multiverse!
Avengers: Infinity War comes out May 4, 2018
