That's Firebird and Texas Twister from the Rangers. Not sure whom that other guy is.

Don't think they should go for it. He was a great character but bringing back him back could kill off the great tension created in the first film. Him being alive the whole time could do that, too (in my mind it's something likeRocky learning that most of his fights were really fixed, happened in the third movie I think, it just killed off the whole series) . Plus people that don't buy comics will no get the whole idea of casually beating death. One thing that they could do though would be bringing Coulson back after beating Thanos as a demand from him, but that too seems too far-fetched even for a marvel movie.

Bringing back dead characters for no good reason could make them seem irrelevant and arrogant and missing the point they made by being there the first time (hello, "Gray's anatomy").

It wouldn't really be them bringing Coulson back to life, rather having Vision be based on Coulson's brain-pattern (giving him Coulson's memories).

Sorry two appearances in movies and a death doesn't mean he has anything to carry a series. Just my opinion. Unless it's a comic where he motivates heroes by dying. Though I don't know how they could keep doing that,

Four: Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor and the Avengers.

The clip wasn't that exciting, but I remain cautiously optimistic. However it will never be as good as Smallville, imo.

I second that. A thing I quite liked about Smallville was that it had an overall plot (i.e. young Clark Kent's journey to becoming Superman). It didn't always execute this very good, but it was still there, so you knew the show was going somewhere. Right now, Arrow feels rather generic. Is there a bigger story the producers/writers are going for, or will it just be "Oliver going by his daily life each week, when a bad guy shows up and he fights him"?

Legally, Kaine doesn't exist, as he lacks a birth certificate (along with other records). Ben's name was legally "Benjamin Reilly", as Seward fixed him a social security number (and other things like High School and College records), when he was online. And Ultimate Spider-Woman's undoubtably legally "Jessica Drew" (as she was created by the CIA, hence they probably fabricated a false past for her and documents). So, their names are Jessica Drew and Ben Reilly, but Kaine's name isn't "Peter Parker". He can't use it, as Peter's using it in NY (and it would draw attention from the authorities, if one guy in New York and one guy in Houston have the exact same name and social security number). However, if Kaine would ever want a legal identity, he could just take over Ben's (as Ben dissolved, there wasn't a death certificate issued, meaning in the eyes of the United States goverment, Ben Reilly is still alive), giving him all of Ben's papers and records (and he could even legally change the name to "Kaine whatever-surname-he-wants").

Any specific reason why they'd have to constantly do Tony Stark/Iron Man? It's a big universe, why not explore some of Marvel's other characters in movie adaptations (and future Avengers movies), rather than just doing Iron Man over and over again?

The dad was Arion who from what I understand at the point in time was considered Karen's great-grandfather. Which would mean Equinox is the product of incest.

This article should explain everything: http://marionetteblog.blogspot.com/2006/04/power-girls-phantom-pregna_114429897837983861.html

Grandfather actually. And really was her grandfather at the time (until DC decided to remove Kara's post-COIE origin, about ten years ago).

Could a Live-Action Spider-Man TV series work?

Recently found the pilot for the 70's CBS Spidey series on Youtube and it got me thinking about this. Looking at Spider-Man himself, it had two specific errors (not counting the costume looking bad): The wall-crawling looked extremely fake as did the web shooting. Both of those problems could be fixed with simple computor effects today (the web would be CGI when we shoots it and otherwise practical prop), that are cheap and available for television.

Like all other Live-Action superhero shows, the hero's regular life would be in focus (cutting down expenses). Many of the crooks could be done with costumes and/or make-up. Though, there'd be a couple of problems. While they could do the Lizard with make-up, I doubt they could do the tail (leaving him tailless), same with Scorpion. Doc Ock's arms would probably be too difficult for such a show's limited shooting time. And then there's the matter with Venom's mouth and tongue. The latter could probably be done with CGI (and he doesn't have to stick his tongue out at people all the time), however, I'm unsure if they could do the mouth (especially, where it'd move, when he talks) or would have to leave it out.

@sky-pirate: You are right. Trailers are sometimes misleading. However Gwen says it in both trailers and both times it appears to be during the dinner scene. In the second trailer the trailer cuts away more times than the first so you might be correct. But, I’m so confident that I am

right willing to make a friendly wager that I am right. Here is my bet. I plan on making a video review of this movie. If you are right I will publicly say in my video that sky-pirate from comic vine was right and I was wrong. However, if I am right I will say that I am right and Sky-Pirate is wrong. But, I don't have to use your name sky-pirate if you don't want me to. I could just say someone you know who you are. I have 647 subscribers to my Youtube channel. That’s a lot of people who will know that you were right if you win the bet. What do you think? Do we have a bet?

Just saw trailer No. 3 and saw Gwen say it at the dinner table. So, unless the Spider-Men mentioning takes place in a latter scene, where Peter have dinner again with the Stacys (or the Gwen shot was one of those scenes, they do for the trailer and don't have in the actual movie) it seems like you're right.

@toekneebeeears: However, we don't see her saying it at the dinner, but rather during other shots in between the shot of Stacey asking Peter about himself and them bringing up Spider-Man. Hence, Gwen's line about Peter living with his aunt and uncle could be in another scene, earlier in the film.
