It bears repeating... This channel is like watching The Official Handbook Of The Marvel Universe!

[Hulkzilla]

I love how Wundagore is a major thing in the Marvel universe. And Puppet Master being a villain that goes after every superhero is pretty cool. I love the dynamic between him, his daughter and Ben Grimm. The antagonist father of a hero's love interest is a fun trope.

[CHARLESJOHNSON-gvzy]

NOBODY CONNECTS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE TOGETHER LIKE 'MERRY MARVELITE' .. WHICH IS WHY THIS CHANNEL IS 'EXCELSIOR' ..

[christopherulichney]

I absolutely love these classic Kirby villains. All of the retcons that happened before his first appearance put into chronological order are the best part for me.

My suggestion for a future video is RAVAGE 2099.

As always MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

[VYBEZFLEXX]

Look forward to this every Friday night

[Jezee]

Arnim Zola would be a cool one to cover.

Hello there Merry Marvelite and fellow community members. I just wanted to say that this video dealing with The Puppet Master was really entertaining and well done. I found the information in it to be surprisingly very interesting and I found out a lot more about this Fantastic Four villain that is a little underrated in my opinion.

[Wildboyfanz]

It’s kinda kool to see how certain villains are connected with the early Marvel Universe this channel is amazing🔥

[TheFlamingDoh]

Ben Grimm: “And you think YOUR in-laws are bad!”

[DeadPool-XF]

I know little about this character except what I saw in the fantastic four cartoon in 1994

[trexadvent]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?

Are you going to do history of Fantastic Four villains like Diablo, Mad Thinker, the Frightful Four and The U-Foes?

[skinheadjon]

My fave FF villain when I was growing up in the late 60's early 70's 🌞😎🙌👍

[amanzeihedioha]

Spider Woman and Puppet Master are childhood friends, and Marvel's done nothing with that??

[georgelove]

Your gonna get all the love and attention u deserve Marvelite, your way too consistent and stupidly talented. Ima see u at the top brother🙌🏾👏🏾.

I always liked Puppet Master for the sheer very creative concept. Certainly didn't expect to see him have such a sad, tragic backstory. The guy should not be held accountable for his transgressions, as he clearly lost his sanity long ago; in fact, he deserves help.

[BenGrimm]

Dr. Doom is Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic and the Fantastic Four's Arch-Enemy while the Puppet Master is Ben Grimm/The Thing 's Personal Arch Enemy! One of the best battles that Ben Grimm and Philip Masters had in the comics was during The Thing comics by John Byrne and Ron Wilson during the 1980s (The Thing #5 & #6 story "With Friends Like Theses" & "Mindscape”).

[Reddotzebra]

I actually never knew this guy's full backstory, this makes what happens with the Skrull double of Alicia after the events on the first Battleworld even more ironic.

[jailbreak-bob]

Tim Story gets Puppet Master, like Josh Trank gets Harvey Elder.

[tlyon]

Awesome info as always' right now if I had to choose what should be the next one then I think it should be Knull, the new sequel to Venom is not very far away and it showed a brief cameo of Knull in there!

It would also be a good way to tie it in with your Captain Universe video as well too.

What's up with Wundarr being the only one who drained the puppets of their energy and making him the only one who can defeat the Puppet_Master? Can you do history of Wundarr?
