I remember reading a reprint of the Abomination's origin. He's always been one of my favorite Hulk foes. The current Abomination grosses me out, to be honest.
I guess you are talking about Subjekt B! That creature is just scary and a sick copy of Abomination! Im glad that Al Ewing brought him back, hopefully not to die again!
@@jackychang9148 A LOT has changed in recent years. It would take too long to explain it here. All I can tell you is, check out collected runs of The Immortal Hulk.
Yeah, he's hopelessly trapped in this ugly form of himself, but if you look at it the monster form represents his true self. A murderer and wife abuser along with all kinds of other horrible things.
I can't say I like the fact that they later added he abused his wife. Him not telling her who he really is a sad but humanizing story, and it's extremely depressing seeing him being tortured using a video of them together. But all that is kinda ruined now that the marriage was actually horrible, and Emil just evilly laughs after Nadia fails to kill him.
@@tubucoco I actually seriously hate the wife abuser retcon. (Also there was another comic that tried to half-retcon that and say he had two wives with the same name, but that comic itself got declared a What-if of sorts with its own universe number or temp universe number on the wiki, so I guess he was just madly in love with the same woman he abused.) Honestly have the one he abused be some old communist brainwashing victim s who was supposed to be a check on Blonsky with the abuse being false memories to motivate her. Of course in 2023 that doesn't really work as well as it would have in the old days. Then again Eastern Europe's a mess again so a malevolent slavic conspiracy's probably back in the books.
Except whoever did him in Devil's Reign: Villains for Hire Uh spoiers I guess but he shows up in that third issue. The main Devil's Reign art of him was fine, Heroes for Hire he looked like a goblin.
great vid! I had a book and record of that Hulk issue where he fouls the Abomination and the Rhino. thanks for bringing back sweet memories! spoiler alert: I heard that Abomination is appearing in the Shang Chi movie, cant wait!
my favorite thing about comics is how a super hero has roots in sci fi militarism then fights aliens, kgb spies, and witches. it feels so contemporary of the time and has massive charm from that.
@@dejstoney Because he's been the victim of some of the worst retcons. Going from someone who dearly loved his wife but could not see her under Peter David, to an abuser under actually I don't remember the writer but the artist paired with him was JRJR and the colorist was someone who really really liked Noir too much.
Can you do history of the Beyonder, Crossfire, Living Laser, Iron Monger, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, Darkhawk, Union Jack, Annihilus, the Badoon and the Broods?
Was it really awesome to see Abomination in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings? What do you think he is going to be like in the She-Hulk TV show on Disney Plus and will we see see him joining the Thunderbolts and the Dark Avengers?
The only thing about when the Abomination fight the Hulk I don't like is that he never beats the Hulk. And they give the Hulk and upgrade but not the Abomination .
Abomination has definitely been upgraded over the years,the thing is Hulk is simply stronger that's his whole thing,He's the strongest there is... In a straight up brawl Hulk should always win.. Abomination has gotten stronger over the years but so has the Hulk.
I'm a bit disappointed that Rick Jones' period in the form of the Abomination-like "A-Bomb" wasn't included. it seems like that deserves a mention. Also, wasn't the Abomination part of a group of expatriate Russian and Chinese superheroes based in Vietnam for awhile?
I personally prefer the 2008 Hulk movie origin story. It made more sense to me and I also like the design better. I still like the comic version but I just find it odd how he looks like a sea monster, and I’m kinda bummed that the MCU has turned him into a fish man now too
Abomination always felt wasted to me. He's as strong as the Hulk, a spy master, and a fully trained fighter. Blonksky should be an A-list villain like Apocalypse and Red Skull yet all he does is stay in a sewer feeling sorry for himself.
If I can design Abomination, I would have it inspired by the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Since Hulk was based on Universal's Frankenstein and Jekyll/Hyde.
Wonder Man...Iron Man... Blue Marvel...Sentry... Savage She-Hulk...Red Hulk...Red She-Hulk...Doc Samson...Venom... Wolverine... Ghost Rider...The Thing... Colossus... Luke Cage...Juggernaut... just to name some
At least one other person IN marvel disliked the Nadia revenge and wrote a whole mini where The Abomination had two wives with the same name and only beat one of them. This got classed as its own alternate universe though. I would much rather have gone even further and sad the Nadia who remembered the abuse was not the real Nadia, some sort of brainwashed puppet of the old Yugoslav or Soviet government. (I stole this idea from somewhere but I don't remember where.)
It seems there are multiple ways that name can be pronounced, depending on where the person is from. I decided to just go with the same pronunciation as the Incredible Hulk film.
Can you do origin of the Brood, the Gladiator, Hyperion, Blue_Marvel, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer, Loxias_Crown AKA Hunger, Quasar, Squirrel_Girl, Kang the Conqueror, Annihilus and Tryco Slatterus the Champion of the Universe?
Can you do origin of Wonder Man, the Grim Reaper, Molecule Man, Sentry, Mr Immortal, Captain Universe, the Mandarin, Fin_Fang_Foom, Flerken, Chemistro, Whiplash, Ronan the Accuser, Ego the Living Planet, the Living Tribunal and Super_Skrull along with Avenger-X and the Protector?
Are you going to history of the Mandarin, Fin Fang Foom, Razor Fist and Death Dealer with the red carpet release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings?
What would happen if the Abomination fought against the Absorbing_Man, Red_Hulk, She-Hulk, Skaar and A-Bomb? Can you do history of the Absorbing_Man, Red_Hulk, Skaar and A-Bomb?
In short, abomination is a better stronger hulk who got shit on time after time due to plot armour. “ the hulk’s rage increases his strength” yeha right- beats a double powered abomination. SUUUUURE

Excelsior!
nice way to kick off the morning.
Funny it's almost morning for me
I remember reading a reprint of the Abomination's origin. He's always been one of my favorite Hulk foes.
The current Abomination grosses me out, to be honest.
Rick Jones, you mean?
@@matthewschwartz6607 Yes, I mean Rick Jones.
I guess you are talking about Subjekt B! That creature is just scary and a sick copy of Abomination! Im glad that Al Ewing brought him back, hopefully not to die again!
@@vincentfranklin17 Wait! Rick is now Abomination? I thought he was A-Bomb!?
@@jackychang9148 A LOT has changed in recent years. It would take too long to explain it here. All I can tell you is, check out collected runs of The Immortal Hulk.
14:56 Hulk wielding Captain America's shield is pure unadulterated badass.
brings back memories of the Abomination's origin ....looking forward to his come back in the MCU.
Well it is a video about the origin of abomination lol
He showed up in shang chi
14:18 I always wonder why did Ross' mustache go when transforming into Red Hulk.
This guy is one of hulk’s perfect nemesis.
he's a pushover xD
No. Thing
No it’s definitely the Leader.
The Abomination is probably my favorite Hulk villain. I have an original comic of Tales to Astonish #91. The 1st appearance of The Abomination.
At times you feel sorry for Emil but other times you don’t.
Yeah, he's hopelessly trapped in this ugly form of himself, but if you look at it the monster form represents his true self. A murderer and wife abuser along with all kinds of other horrible things.
I can't say I like the fact that they later added he abused his wife. Him not telling her who he really is a sad but humanizing story, and it's extremely depressing seeing him being tortured using a video of them together. But all that is kinda ruined now that the marriage was actually horrible, and Emil just evilly laughs after Nadia fails to kill him.
if he's being written right, you should never feel sorry for him.

Yeah it seemed like for a while there they were making him a really sympathetic character but then it was just thrown away.
You are one of my favorite go-to’s when it comes to Marvel character origin videos, keep it up!!!!
It's about time you did the History of the Abomination since he appeared in the live action Incredible Hulk movie
This is a great video. I really appreciate all the awesome artists that have illustrated The Abomination.
Except whoever did him in Devil's Reign: Villains for Hire Uh spoiers I guess but he shows up in that third issue. The main Devil's Reign art of him was fine, Heroes for Hire he looked like a goblin.
I want to see Abomination take on The Thing. That would’ve been a cool match up.
Thanks for the info as always 👍. Much ❤ as always 😊
i love ur videos keep it up!
Thank you! I'm glad you like them!
great vid! I had a book and record of that Hulk issue where he fouls the Abomination and the Rhino. thanks for bringing back sweet memories! spoiler alert: I heard that Abomination is appearing in the Shang Chi movie, cant wait!
He is?
@@matthewschwartz6607 thats what I heard , I hope its true, tho I'd rather see Rick Jones in the MCU, he's the best!
Proud to be born in Zagreb, the birth place of Emil Blonsky!
Four minutes ago!!! Dang, I'm early!!!!
So glad I get to see this! His actual story!
my favorite thing about comics is how a super hero has roots in sci fi militarism then fights aliens, kgb spies, and witches. it feels so contemporary of the time and has massive charm from that.
Very cool. Nice information. Really comprehensive. A hulk vs abominations TPB needs to be produced.
The Abomination may be the most tragic villain in all of Marvel.
but he's not.
How?
@@dejstoney he keeps gettin his ass beat, that's how.
@@blacksmoke6292 so does every marvel villain
@@dejstoney Because he's been the victim of some of the worst retcons. Going from someone who dearly loved his wife but could not see her under Peter David, to an abuser under actually I don't remember the writer but the artist paired with him was JRJR and the colorist was someone who really really liked Noir too much.
That issue with the Abomination was one of the first Marvel comics I ever saw. I was about 9 at the time.
Great video, please keep them coming.
As always sir, very well done and hats off
Can you do one for Colossus? Really love your material, big nostalgia from Comic book driven childhood.
Given how hard it is to kill Bruce banner, I'm not surprised that Blonsky is continuously the bad penny that turns up when you least expect it.
He actually did stay dead for a few decent stretches.
Can you do history of the Beyonder, Crossfire, Living Laser, Iron Monger, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, Darkhawk, Union Jack, Annihilus, the Badoon and the Broods?
Yeah, I got that Spider-Man annual as a kid . I think that was my first exposure to The Abomination. And that Rob Liefeld art- Ugh!
The hulk always beat abomination. 😀👍
really enjoy your videos
Abomination and Hulk should just be gym buddies.
Was it really awesome to see Abomination in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings? What do you think he is going to be like in the She-Hulk TV show on Disney Plus and will we see see him joining the Thunderbolts and the Dark Avengers?
The only thing about when the Abomination fight the Hulk I don't like is that he never beats the Hulk. And they give the Hulk and upgrade but not the Abomination .
While researching this, I definitely noticed that the Abomination was handily defeated far more than I expected.
Abomination has definitely been upgraded over the years,the thing is Hulk is simply stronger that's his whole thing,He's the strongest there is... In a straight up brawl Hulk should always win.. Abomination has gotten stronger over the years but so has the Hulk.
I'm a bit disappointed that Rick Jones' period in the form of the Abomination-like "A-Bomb" wasn't included. it seems like that deserves a mention.
Also, wasn't the Abomination part of a group of expatriate Russian and Chinese superheroes based in Vietnam for awhile?
I think that was The Radioactive Man.
A bomb is diff from abomination
@@mrpurplejeans True, but they did have a fight during that time where an evil God was trying to kill Death.
I wonder when the Abomination and the Hulk are going to fight. They really don't fight enough...
Awesome
Love your videos man you have helped me so much but I would love a video on madcap or the hood
essentially Frankenstein's monster vs the Creature from Black Lagoon?
I personally prefer the 2008 Hulk movie origin story. It made more sense to me and I also like the design better. I still like the comic version but I just find it odd how he looks like a sea monster, and I’m kinda bummed that the MCU has turned him into a fish man now too
I liekd the sea monster look, he's from what's now Croatia IIRC(But is I believe a different Yugoslav ethnicity) and that has a large coast.
I love abomination but I hate how weak they make him
this why I 💘 comics,.😊😊😊😊😀😀😀😄😙😜😝😍😍😍😍😳😳🐍🐍🎅🎅📹😂👅👀💦👄✌✌
Early.. back when Hulk didn't get stronger with anger, back when he didn't have a healing factor
What do you think is the best thing about the Abomination in the comics and which one of his powers do you think is the best?
His powers are pretty standard, strength, durability, regeneration. Regen's certainly useful/
It's Sad that Abomination had a Abomination Life. ..
Smh.. .
How DID you expand ALL comics parts Not losing *Quality!*
Abomination being in shang chi tells me there's gonna be another hulk movie
Please do one on the leader
The Abomination had a rough life
Abomination always felt wasted to me. He's as strong as the Hulk, a spy master, and a fully trained fighter. Blonksky should be an A-list villain like Apocalypse and Red Skull yet all he does is stay in a sewer feeling sorry for himself.
I liked his sewer era.
Is the Abomination the Marvel version of DC's Killer Croc?
No hes evil hulk
Way more powerful than Killer Croc could ever imagine
No way. They’re on a different level of power from each other. The DC equivalent would be Solomon Grundy
Please make a video about desak sterixian
Can you do a video on The Stranger? I love him, and hope that he appears in the MCU.
If I can design Abomination, I would have it inspired by the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Since Hulk was based on Universal's Frankenstein and Jekyll/Hyde.
Can you do one for the origins of Echo since that character is appearing in a Disney+ series.
Anyone else want to see The Abomination v. Thor v Silver Surfer movie?
Abomination needs a redemption story! Maybe take the"protector of the homeless" arc down a longer path.
You got your wish, Maestro World War M 1 - 5
13:25. Wait, WHAT? Abuse? What? He abused her?😧😧😧
Apart from the Hulk, Which all heroes do you think would win against the Abomination?
Thor would do fine against him.
Wonder Man...Iron Man... Blue Marvel...Sentry... Savage She-Hulk...Red Hulk...Red She-Hulk...Doc Samson...Venom... Wolverine... Ghost Rider...The Thing... Colossus... Luke Cage...Juggernaut... just to name some
0:15 pre mutation, Emil Blonsky looks too much like Jim Carrey.
Silver Surfer using lucha moves on Abomination 😂
Evil hero 🦸🏾♂️ comics next please
Wow, I never knew what had happened to the Abomination. Whatever became of villains like Wendigo and the Zodiac Cartel?
Paul Jenkins did the best Abomination story.
Abomination in the original hulk animated show was brilliant
Cheesy, but brilliant
Do one for beast
I thought that was Green Goblin from earth 1610 for a second.
Can't wait to see hulk face off abomination in upcoming she hulk series 🍿💋
ABOMINATION MCU SAGA:
THE INCREDIBLE HULK
SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS
\SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW/
Does the Abomination look like a sea creature version of the Hulk?
I’d like to hear about venom
Didn’t Modok kill BLONSKY , though? You explained how the Abomination came back, but not BLONSKY.
How about speed demon
This dude abomination just be running into super powered beings all the time 😂😂
Can we get his blue twin brother abomb please
Can you do history of the U-Foes, the Squadron Supreme, Young Avengers, Dark Avengers, Masters of Evil, the Thunderbolts and the Illuminati?
Machine Man...
At least one other person IN marvel disliked the Nadia revenge and wrote a whole mini where The Abomination had two wives with the same name and only beat one of them.

(I stole this idea from somewhere but I don't remember where.)
lol how many times is the US gonna find the abomination after he gets launched into space?
Should have done Rick Jones abomination
I prefer the comic version Abomination (Not the MCU version.).
I do love abomination in the comics. It's such a shame my overriding memory will allways be that film...
It was bad?
@@matthewschwartz6607 go watch it and decide for your self.
Incredible hulk?
The galaxy master lol
The incredible eyebrows
He seems to do as he pleases so he suffers the consequences
Great video, but I don’t think that you pronounced his first name correctly. I think that it’s pronounced EH-MIL! As in EH!
It seems there are multiple ways that name can be pronounced, depending on where the person is from. I decided to just go with the same pronunciation as the Incredible Hulk film.
Can you do origin of the Brood, the Gladiator, Hyperion, Blue_Marvel, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer, Loxias_Crown AKA Hunger, Quasar, Squirrel_Girl, Kang the Conqueror, Annihilus and Tryco Slatterus the Champion of the Universe?
Can you do origin of Wonder Man, the Grim Reaper, Molecule Man, Sentry, Mr Immortal, Captain Universe, the Mandarin, Fin_Fang_Foom, Flerken, Chemistro, Whiplash, Ronan the Accuser, Ego the Living Planet, the Living Tribunal and Super_Skrull along with Avenger-X and the Protector?
1. Apocalypse
Are you going to history of the Mandarin, Fin Fang Foom, Razor Fist and Death Dealer with the red carpet release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings?
What would happen if the Abomination fought against the Absorbing_Man, Red_Hulk, She-Hulk, Skaar and A-Bomb? Can you do history of the Absorbing_Man, Red_Hulk, Skaar and A-Bomb?
I so badly hated the wifebeating retcon.
He’s a terrible guy but he’s also really pitiable. You know he can get better but he constantly regresses
I swear I’d pay 100 a month for three vids a week!!!!!
The abomination was born in queens. His mother instantly knew he was a monster so didn’t love him and his dad said he never measured up.
ggggggggggggg
In short, abomination is a better stronger hulk who got shit on time after time due to plot armour. “ the hulk’s rage increases his strength” yeha right- beats a double powered abomination. SUUUUURE
If he keeps losing how is he better? You can say plot but plot also makes him "stronger" too 😂😂
