That ...Cool, thanks a ton for that write-up, Anon. That will really help me out going forward with this mini. I REALLY need to get my hands on that Secret Warriors series eventually...<br /><br />Will do, TRobb. I figure I'll probably be happily immersed in SC5 for a few more weeks. Then it'll either be a return to UMvC3, or maybe I'll see if I can pick up a game like Skyrim relatively cheap.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-30509377474356670342012-02-15T22:49:56.364-05:002012-02-15T22:49:56.364-05:00yah that was the super spy team i was talking abou...yah that was the super spy team i was talking about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-23616828826010419262012-02-15T22:39:01.099-05:002012-02-15T22:39:01.099-05:00I remember that issue Anon.

I didn't remember Orion but when I heard the name my first thought was that crazy Shield group with zodiac symbols (they were zodiac symbols, right?).jermoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260256232935630988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-80089493675557950622012-02-15T18:04:31.354-05:002012-02-15T18:04:31.354-05:00That's cool X, let me know if you get back int...That's cool X, let me know if you get back into Ultimate Marvel and want to play online sometime. I'm at the point where to get better, I'd have to learn some advanced combos, and my motivation is ebbing, so it'd be good to get some matches.TRobbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-33666326136234594482012-02-15T14:10:39.620-05:002012-02-15T14:10:39.620-05:00Oh and all this stuff happens in just one issue.Oh and all this stuff happens in just one issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-62115118353343093882012-02-15T13:54:16.952-05:002012-02-15T13:54:16.952-05:00Well basically Orion was the nick fury of the russ...Well basically Orion was the nick fury of the russian equivalent of shield during the cold war, but sometime during the 60-70s him all the top shield guys all the main hydra hand and then some other independant super spies were all teamed up by leonardo da vinci (hes from another shield series and none of the guys here know hes leonardo da vinci), anyway they go on a bunch of super spy adventures finding a bunch of super tech, eventually they put all their toys together and make a machine that gives you immortality and captain america powers to boot, but it only works like that if its powered by a magical alien rock thingy.<br />So at this point the spies are feeling very good about themselves but we all know this wouldnt be a very good spy story without some double crossing and thats exactly what happens multiple times in the span of 2 pages, ultimately orion is on top and he walks into the immortality chamber, but suddenly fury (or the baron guy of hydra i cant remember) reveals he snatched the power rock ,but its to late for orion to know that, so he ends up as a dessicated immortal corpse in stasis.<br />Fast forward to the present orions partner finds a way to get his boss back to 150% by replacing the rock with the lives of 10000 Russian soldiers, so Orion is now super powered and has 10000 lifes in him, so like if you stab him or he has a heart attack or anything that'll just be 1 other life and he survives fine. There's a bunch of other stuff that happens but i figure you might wana save that for yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-79400767018562983282012-02-14T23:24:51.994-05:002012-02-14T23:24:51.994-05:00HA!!

This must be Marvel's way to fix that! In all seriousness though, I hope that's not true... I actually stopped playing UMvC3 about two weeks ago when I picked up Soul Calibur 5... I've been a fan of that series since it's Soul Blade days, so that was a first day pick up for me. I figure when I play the hell out of SC5, I'll probably switch back to UMvC3... I STILL haven't gotten that Watcher card, and that's REALLY pissing me off! :D<br /><br />I still haven't read Secret Warriors, Anon... Would you mind filling me in on your Orion theory?x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-70545036880929194952012-02-14T21:33:18.593-05:002012-02-14T21:33:18.593-05:00You know when this series first started i suspecte...You know when this series first started i suspected Nick Fury might be involved but it didn't make any sense to me so i dropped the theory, I mean since when does Fury hook-up with school teachers and she didn't appear to be the backstory kind of person.<br />But since we know that Fury IS involved i also realize who that Orion guy is now, he was really important in the Secret Warriors series and what hes doing is going to make alot more sense if you read that series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-67427658905505486212012-02-14T20:15:47.481-05:002012-02-14T20:15:47.481-05:00And so Marvel's game is up with this series!

Way to dilute Nick Fury in both 616 and Ultimate Marvel.<br /><br />Your quip at the end reminds me, have you been playing Ultimate MvC3 lately? I've kind of dropped off, which is sad since I finally settled on a team back in December.TRobbnoreply@blogger.com
