Weekly Marvel Review: May 22, 2024 (Week 21)

Doom 2099 gets added to the FCL database. Captain Marvel and Iron Man are the latest characters to reach the 100-point milestone. Big developments include the Green Goblin personality reemerging in Norman Osborn and Black Panther and Miles Morales being turned into vampires. While those three are losing their humanity, Omega Sentinel has her own restored.

Book of the Week – Fall of the House of X #5 (Review score: 67 Points; 25 Characters). The X-Men score a major victory over Orchis with the defeat of Nimrod and Omega Sentinel, but the big fight against the Enigma Dominion remains. Cyclops reaches out to Jean Grey; it’s time for her to reignite the Phoenix Force.

Hero of the Week – Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Review score: 20 Points/4 Appearances; 5.0 Pts/App). Peter Parker wins his fifth Hero of the Week, with an Appearance-heavy week. He adds one Team-Up, Save Civilian and Defeats Antagonist across his four Appearances.

Antagonist of the Week – Green Goblin (Review score: 8 Points/1 Appearance; 8.0 Pts/App). It was only a matter of time for Norman Osborn. The timely development of the Goblin’s reemergence gives Osborn the edge over the Hood for his second title of the year.

Top Characters (by review score). Spider-Man/Peter Parker (20); Ghost-Spider (11); Spider-Man/Miles Morales (9); Green Goblin, Hawkeye/Clint Barton, The Hood, Iron Man, Union Jack (8); Spider-Man/Miguel O’Hara, Vision (7)
