How do you find yourself on a team of non super non heroes having to fight a near omnipotent force of destruction? Well…it’s a long story that I’m going to shorten for you right now so you don’t have to watch over 30 movies and series to understand how someone gets from defending their skinny dork friend from bullies in World War II to nearly a hundred years later fighting…the Void. 

We’re talking Thunderbolts: how this ragtag team of rejects and anti-villains find themselves together fighting one of the most difficult villains Marvel’s ever produced. We’ll be looking at their full MCU journeys, without alternate What If…? Counterpoints of course, up until where you last saw every single member. We’ll be figuring out what their situations are and maybe, just maybe, we’ll see what magic happens in that simple little asterisk.
