Common questions on Marvel, surfaced from across the indexed web.
Who Has The Edge In A Hulk Vs. Vader Fight?
It’s reasonable to assume that neither Hulk nor Darth Vader will be killed off in Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles, particularly if the Star Wars characters are supposed to experience the same events from the franchise’s main continuity once they’re returned to their universe. Nevertheless, if Hulk and Vader cross paths in the comic book crossover, then unless something happens that either ends the fight prematurely or somehow results in a draw between them, there needs to be a victor. While it’s a close call between these two titans, Hulk is currently the safer bet, assuming he doesn’t switch
Is There Any Way To Bring Back Nightcrawler In Future Seasons of X-Men '97?
Like most deaths in any version of the Marvel Universe, Nightcrawler's death doesn't necessarily have to be permanent in X-Men '97 season 2. That said, the means to bring Kurt back isn't as straightforward as Gambit's resurrection was with an adaptation of Remy's Horseman of Death storyline.

Wolverine's healing factor rapidly clears out lactic acid and other "toxins" and repairs muscle on-the-fly. There's an implication of this that Marvel hasn't fully explored in detail, but should, which is that when his healing factor is at full strength, the more Wolverine exerts himself i
Tony Stark's actions are likewise censored, but ranked alongside death and injury by Spider-Man, so they're pretty extreme. Marvel recently revealed a teaser for upcoming issues of Avengers: Armageddon with the phrases "the future is iron" and "a new Iron Age for Marvel Comics." The image shows Iron Man looking threatening, and it's possible that in tangling with the Red Hulk and Colton, Tony will become more totalitarian in his outlook. He could be set to turn against the Avengers as in Civil War, or simply to clamp down on crime in a way that harms their reputation.
