So cool! Another colourful socket going out to a client who loves the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And what's not to love?
Some Marvel facts for your day:
- In 2009, The Walt Disney Company bought Marvel for US$4 billion — a deal now widely seen as a bargain.
- 2008’s Iron Man launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
- 2019's Avengers: Endgame grossed US$2.8 billion worldwide!
- In the comics, Hulk was originally grey. Printing inconsistencies caused colour problems, so Marvel changed him to green permanently.
- Thor was originally human. Early comics portrayed Thor as Dr Donald Blake, a disabled physician who transformed into Thor by striking a cane on the ground.
