Predator is now officially part of Marvel. This week, we’ll talk about what happened in their epic fight with Wolverine. Plus: Who is Spider-Boy? Why is Superior Spider-Man Back? Is The Thing a better lover than Thanos? Could Mystique impregnate herself? Will the Caliban suit save the mutants from the Fall of X? Are the Celestials more powerful than the Beyonders? So many questions, and we’ll discuss all of them this week as Zach and Searnold go over highlights (and lowlights) from assorted Marvel Mini-Series published in 2023.

Ep. 89: Who is Echo and Is She Thor’s Mom?
What is Searnold’s favorite Marvel mini-series? Is Echo Thor’s mom? And how many pianos did Helen Keller eat? In this bizarre episode of the Doombots Marvel Podcast, we’ll discuss all these questions and more as we do a deep dive into the character Echo. Created by David Mack in the year 2000, Echo has recently grown in popularity due to her upcoming Disney+ show. We’ll talk about her origin, her relationship with Daredevil, her death and mysterious resurrection, her time as the Phoenix, and so many other things that inevitably come up when Searnold and Zach have a conversation.
Ep. 88: Why Did The Punisher Join the Hand?
Jason Aaron has completely changed the story of Frank Castle, aka The Punisher. Now, he’s the leader of the ninja death cult called The Hand. By adding some back story and bringing his dead wife back from the dead, Jason Aaron has elevated The Punisher’s story to a Shakespearean level. We’ll discuss the entire 12 issue arc, explain how Frank came to this point, and what it means to be the Fist of the Beast. We’ll also discuss some of The Punisher’s greatest hits, including “Welcome Back Frank” and the time he teamed up with a cosmic powered Spider-Man to prevent the American government from switching their currency to the cocaine standard.
Ep. 87: Who is Monica Rambeau? (AKA Spectrum/Photon/Pulsar?)

Ep. 83: What is Krakoa and Why Are the X-Men Falling?
It’s the end of the Krakoan era! Probably! At least, Marvel’s publicity department certainly wants you to think so. But in this episode of the Doombots Marvel Podcast, Searnold will explain why he doesn’t believe that will happen. We’ll also discuss the history of Krakoa, the sentient island the X-Men live on, including looking at one of the worst retcons of all time, “Deadly Genesis.”

Episode 59: Why Did The X-Men Have To Fight King Arthur?
Do you need to know more than what’s in the title? Yes you do! That’s why you should listen to this episode of the Doombots Podcast. While the topic may sound silly, we actually get into some pretty deep discussion about what responsibility creators have to make sure their work isn’t used for ill. Does the modern Krakoan era of X-Men stories accidentally promote racism? What is the value of incorporating known mythology into modern “pop” stories? And what does it mean that “If you die in Otherworld, you come back wrong.”
