We're still in that brief run where Captain America and Bucky are having WWII-set fun.  In this story, the Star-Spangled Duo face off against a midget with an oversized head, a man in a monocle and a slew of henchmen who look like gangsters, talk like gangsters...but are Nazis.

Apparently, these henchmen are very, very confused.

The fourth in our survey of Marvel characters in film and television turns the spotlight on BladeWe trace the cinematic version of the Daywalker from his origins not in the New Line film but as a guest star on the old 90's Spider-Man cartoon to the end of the line as a bit of background in a cable series supposedly about him.

In this episode, Green Lantern encounters The Weaponers of Qward--the first in a long line of introductions that build the Lantern Corps Legend.  Oh, and Hal Jordan continually calls an Inuit mechanic 'Pieface while searching for a lost mine.

Well, that first story with the Weaponers is really cool.
