Hal Jordon - Green Lantern Part 2

9/19/2018
Hello and welcome to All Geeks aside the podcast where I take a look at the In Universe histories of Characters or objects as we had last time, of all things geek, be it from comics, manga , Science Fiction, Fantasy and everything in between. This is Part 2 of the Hal Jordon Green Lantern episode, if you like listening out of sequence then go right ahead. I do suggest that you go back and listen to the previous one first. Remember that movie that was released a couple of years ago that had the fabulous Ryan Reynolds in that body hugging suit, no not the red one the green CGI one. Well that was a poor portrayal of the character that I have chosen this time. However in order for us to have a true understanding of this we must first look at 1. where they came from, and 2. what they were envisioned to do, 3. the true origins of their power. Not in that order. It is then and only then that we will truly be able to bring you the best version of this character. Before I continue and reveal the character that I am doing this week I want to thank the fan listener that reached out and requested that he wanted to learn all about Green Lantern, to which I asked which one. It was then decided that I cover Hal Jordan Green. So prepare your Earholes as we dive deep into the History of not only Hal jordan but also of the basics of the Green Lanterns as a Whole. So before I get to Hal I first want look at why there exists a Green lantern Corps in the First place. Who crested them and where does the power of the Green Lanterns come from. We will then look at how a green Lantern is chosen and how the powers are bestowed upon them. Plus if I have time I will look at the other kinds of Lanterns that are in the Universe. If you enjoyed my show and want to hear more show me some support Rate and Review its how people find me.

Black Widow - Natasha Romanova

4/3/2018
Hello and welcome to All Geeks aside the podcast where I take a look at the In Universe histories of Characters or objects as we had last time, of all things geek, be it from comics, manga , Science Fiction, Fantasy and everything in between. So without further a do lets get down to business. With the release of the movie Red Sparrow and the upcoming release of Avengers Infinity War closing in on us. I have decided to do one of the most sought after women in the Marvel universe. And while she is not originally a hero she has become one of the main stays in all things Avengers. With the relationship between the United States and Russia at an all time high, they even aided in the presidential election. Yes I am doing the Russian super spy Natasha Romanova aka Black Widow. We will learn how she became an Avenger, how she defected from the Russians, and how she planned to kill Captain America. So how did a former Russian Super Spy become both a member of SHIELD as well as a prominent comrade to the Avengers? To answer that we will first need to look at where Natalia came from and what occurred in the years of her life.

But there’s no such thing as the unknown — only things temporarily hidden, temporarily not understood.” James T.

King or Khal, part 2

3/20/2018
Join me this week as we continue the tale odd as it is of Arthur Curry Aquaman. Thank you for joining me. Aquaman (Jason Momoa) is the King of the Seven Seas. Leader of Atlantis, he is caught between the surface world constantly ravaging the seas and Atlanteans looking to lash out in revolt. Aquaman is committed to protecting the entire world As for the whole of this account of the Atlanteans, some say that it is unadorned history, such as Crantor, the first commentator on Plato. Crantor also says that Plato's contemporaries used to criticize him jokingly for not being the inventor of his Republic but copying the institutions of the Egyptians. Plato took these critics seriously enough to assign to the Egyptians this story about the Athenians and Atlanteans, so as to make them say that the Athenians really once lived according to that system.

Ron Swanson's Space Bro: Part 2

1/31/2018
This is Part 2 of a 2 part series, I have decided to split all futures shows up into a more manageable size. I will offer both as a Patreon perk so if you would like both you know what to do. I bring to you Peter Quill aka Star Lord of the Guardians of the Galaxy. I thought this would be a short and easy character I was wrong. But I loved every minute of it. Enjoy the show I almost made it work. The Guardians were more than I could ever have hoped for! But the universe is also more dangerous than I ever imagined! Look around! This is the kind of thing that can happen! The galaxy doesn't need guardians! It doesn't need brave souls! If it's going to survive another one of these, it's going to need absolute bad-asses! It's going to need the biggest guns of all! Cosmic heavy hitters as scary as the menaces they have to face! It's going to need flarking annihilators!

A Spartan's Journey

1/8/2018
This week I am bringing to you yet another troubled childhood story. But this character is nothing short of a living legend. He is Master Chief Petty Officer John 117. Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 is arguably the most pivotal and important figure of the human race in the mid-26th century. Abducted at the age of six years old from his homeworld of Eridanus II by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), he was conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program. The initiative was originally designed to quell human rebellion against the Unified Earth Government as the human Insurrection movement neared its tipping point. John endured harsh physical and mental training, survived the physical augmentations required by the program, and was integrated into state-of-the-art Mjolnir battle armor. He was later paired with an incredibly advanced Smart AI known as Cortana. John and Cortana were the culminations of the SPARTAN-II and MJOLNIR programs, allowing a Spartan to safely carry an extremely powerful AI into combat--an advancement that ultimately changed the course of the war. I feel Like I have been preparing this show for the last 16 years or since the first Game was released. But it was when I saw his story expanded from the console to the movies and you learn of his upbringing, thats when I truly felt admiration for him. John is an Empathic Killing Machine as you will learn. If you enjoyed my show and want to hear more show me some support Rate and Review its how people find me.

Batman’s failure

1/3/2018
Ignoring what he's done in the past. Blindly, stupidly disregarding the entire graveyards he's filled, the thousands who have suffered, the friends he's crippled. You know, I thought... I thought I'd be the last person you'd ever let him hurt. If it had been you that he beat to a bloody pulp, if he had taken you from this world, I would've done nothing but search the planet for this pathetic pile of evil, death-worshiping garbage and then send him off to hell! Jason Todd the Red Hood Jason Todd was and is Batman’s one failure at least in my eyes. He was the second incarnation of the boy wonder robin. He may have had a hard start in life, and even a harder one in death. Join me and learning how death isn’t always permanent. This weeks show was requested by my daughter, probably not the robin she wanted to learn about but it’s still Robin of sorts.

Barry Allen - The Flash

This week I bring to you the crazy and fast paced history of the fastest man in the DC Universe, Barry Allen the Flash. Able to run at near light-speeds, his powers provide the ultimate caffeine kick: He can run up buildings, move so swiftly he phases through objects, create sonic booms with the snap of his fingers—and never need to order delivery. Despite his speed, Barry can become so obsessed with crime-solving he can still lose track of everything else around him, leaving the fastest man alive constantly running a minute behind.
