Today our sister sites begin Magic Month with a Spotlight on the Lord of the Loa, Jericho Drumm! Introduced during the 1970's, Brother Voodoo had limited success as a houngan super-hero, quickly being relegated to a series of guest appearances over the next few decades. After Secret Invasion, however, DOCTOR Voodoo became the new Sorcerer Supreme, combining the servant of the Vishanti and the Loa into one man. Although he was temporarily killed to make room for Stephen Strange's return, Doctor Voodoo was soon resurrected and enjoyed healthy runs with the Avengers Unity Division and a romance with the Scarlet Witch. As the headmaster of Strange Academy in his hometown of New Orleans, Doctor Voodoo has made a home for himself in the annals of Marvel lore.

Hero Team entry... GWEN-VENGERS
It is undeniable that Gwen Stacy has become a fan favorite among comic book readers. She always had a certain legendary status, given her very high profile death, which is credited to have triggered a change in the tone of Marvel Comics. However in 2015, she came back into Marvel comics in a big way with her alternate universe counterpart, Ghost-Spider. Since then readers have seen virtually every possible permutation of a Gwen Stacy/insert hero, however it was not until Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse that we saw an actual team of “Gwens” team up to save the day. Read here about the unfortunately named Gwen-Vengers.
Spotlight On... D-MAN!
APRIL FOOLS! Here... have a fool! With all due respect to Dennis Dunphy, D-Man regularly appears on any list of the lamest Avengers of all time. He does have a lot working against him... a copycat costume, one of the shortest membership stints ever, and a reputation as the homeless super-hero. D-Man was often an easy target for jokes. Beneath it all, though, Dennis is a nice, good-natured and eager-to-please guy who simply wasn't cut out to be an action hero. Through no fault of his own, Dennis has suffered through brain damage and mental illness while still focused on trying to do the right thing. He has recently moved away from street fighting to focus on helping people in environments better suited for his caring and empathic nature. "D" is for Dedicated!
Spotlight On... GLAMOR & ILLUSION!
These characters were the inspiration for the second episode of WANDAVISION. Two apparent “illusionists” who befriended the Vision and Scarlet Witch during their attempt at a normal life in New Jersey of all places. Despite having a secret criminal background, the married couple were stalwart friends for Vizh and Wanda and saved their bacon a couple of times in their few appearances. Read here about Glamour and Illusion.
ETERNALS / THANOS FAMILY TREE
Marvel's Eternals are far and away one of the most puzzling of its franchises. Fraught with retcon upon retcon, at its core stands quite a large family of multiple generations and just as many feuds. From Thanos to Eros, Ikaris to Druig, Nebula to just about everyone, the central Eternals family has mythos that is as compelling as it is confounding. In this article focusing on its central family line, UXN/MAN does its best to unpack this history while addressing the host of contradictions throughout. Read here about the Eternals/Thanos Family Tree.
Spotlight On... SOLARR
The murderous master of the solar flame, this mutant spent years as an assassin distant from the X-Men's world. His criminal escapades brought him into contact with the Avengers, Defenders, and Alpha Flight, as well as serving as a frequent prisoner at Project: PEGASUS before his death in an uprising. Although he was welcomed on Krakoa under the blanket amnesty, the Three Laws were a concern for a man who only wanted to burn and occupied a living island. Solarr instead accepted the Goblin Queen's offer of sanctuary at the Limbo embassy, where his taste for fire was more acceptable.
