The Olympians


Four scans from Incredible Hercules #137, and four from Dark Avengers: Ares #1.

Cho heads into Pythagoras Dupree's stronghold to confront him, and Pythagoras gives us his motive rant/life story:  He was a kid in the 40s at an orphanage on Mount Athena in upstate New York, run by Miranda Minerva (guess who?), who identified him as a genius and began pushing him to become better and better.  Between all that work and being harassed by his fellow students for being identified as the teachers' favourite, he turned to the superhero genius Mastermind Excello's adventures for escapism.  But then, of course, Excello disappeared along with the rest of the Twelve, which shattered Pythagoras, who thought that if someone as smart as Excello could be defeated, it could happen to anyone.  Deciding he didn't want to be a hero, he ran away from the orphanage, and devoted himself to making money.  Eventually, Athena caught up with him in her real form:




Cho interrupts this and demands to know where Maddy is, but Dupree doesn't even know who Cho is talking about, so he doesn't have her.  Cho then declines to fight Dupree, and says he's just going to forget about him and go on living his life.  Dupree, left alone, kills himself.  Then Cho finds the door of "Continuum", Hera's vaguely defined master plan, which upon looking in horrifies him.

On his way out, Cho runs into Athena again, who admits that she made a mistake with Dupree and pushed him too hard too fast, and after that she decided her next choice would need a different sort of mentor.



Oops, speed-bump.

Meanwhile, back in New York:



No, Hebe, don't do it! Though, why is May setting her nephew up with (from her perspective) a crazy chick who thinks she's a goddess?

Over in Ares, Ares picks out a special four-man squad to train, and after some live-fire exercises (the "moral" of which is they shouldn't hesitate to try and kill their commanding officer if need be), they head in for food:





For some reason, that guy decides it's a good idea to disagree, which prompts another blustering speech, at which point he backs down.

Later, the guys debate power-levels:

She's read the last year or so of ASM, and realizes that crazy chick who thinks she's a goddess would be a step up for her nephew?

I was going to say, you don't think that being brought back by a demon hasn't already sent her mildly koo-koo? She stayed with a homeless shelter that even an idiot couldn't notice was run by a supervillain! She allowed a no-talent bum related vaguely by blood to live in her house and eat her food well into his late twenties! She married the father of said bum's former employer, seemingly on a whim! WHO KNOWS WHAT CRAZY BULL SHE'LL PULL NEXT?

(Jeez, I feel like Box possessed me.)

Box-in-the-box becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Who wants to bet that Maddy's going to turn out to have been working for Hera from almost the beginning?

Him killing all those kids is really distressing.

Also, Hera is one of my favorites; I get that this is just Marvel's Hera, but it's still vaguely sad.

Motto.

It's even worse when you consider that those kids were geniuses with the potential to make history-changing discoveries.

Well, May was right about Mary Jane. I'll giver her the benefit of the doubt.

Is the "primordial darkness" supposed to be Mikaboshi? Because if it is, then it seems like there's a thousand simpler ways Athena could have dealt with him.

His write-up in that recent Official handbook to the MU dealing with gods would seem to indicate so.

This Ares does not appeal to me; sadness. I like what I've seen of him elsewhere, but I doubt I'll pick this up.

So wait, is Ares going to start spouting Horatio Caine-like one-liners now?

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Does Ambrosia/soup regularly get scooped out of containers labeled "SOAP"?

Third page: Am I seeing this right, or does "continuum" have one of those "registered trademark" circle-R's next to it?

Looks like it. I guess Hera's trademarked it; good on Amadeus for being able to pronounce it...

A. MAYBE THIS ONE WILL STICK! (he dumped the supermodel, maybe a goddess will be able to keep him.)

B. May knows what's been going on more than she lets on. She figures a divine being gives her boy a chance against Mephisto.

O. No Hebe don't do it! That boy is poison! Is it too much to hope this is another May Parker?
