I adore this mad scientist woman whose skillset is exclusively tailored to turning people into werewolves. An absolute goddess. A queen.
Just like Sasha.
She's actually in Luke Cage 😂
"If you do what you love..."
@@rna151... "werewolves will follow"
A furry
"Impossible! You should be dead!" Because, as everyone knows, Captain America's one weakness is carpet. Thankfully Wolverine saved him just in time.
I'm convinced Nightshade wanting to turn Cap into a werewolf all the time is some kind of kink lol
gotta give it to 90s, they embraced the outrageous
Well, I was born in 1995, and I realized the present would not be as cool without the 90's or 80's, 70's 60's and so on paving the way.
@@neerGdyahS I was born in the 70s and let me say living through the 80s and 90s was one hell of a ride. In a some ways they were a heck of a lot more fun than now.
"For sheep cannot levitate out of harm's way." Based on this quote alone, I now love Dr. Druid.
I now want to start a webinar series to educate sheep (and other barnyard animals) on the safety benefits of levitation.
Almost sounds like something from the Bible.
I mean, he's not wrong. Sheep really can't do that.
"How did you escape the carpet of death? You two were supposed to die of terminal rug burns!!" (Star Wolf is full of stars, and he still isn't very bright!)
As of right now, in 2020, I am 46 years old. I bought this comic as a teenager- and I still have it in storage somewhere! Heehee!
Sell it!!
Yeah same. Also bought the new Cap Wolf one.
I bought it too!
Amazing
Ok Michael Jackson
Little known fact, Dr. Druid can set up your home stereo like nobody's business.
I love it when a character is made to be some kind of beast or animal hybrid. It's like joining a martial arts tournament and one of the guys Sabrewulf (Killer Instinct)
I closed my own neck wound through sheer force of will! Lmao
"If you get killed, walk it off."
"Bite my neck for maybe" Lol I laughed at that too hard!!!
I just realized the left eyebrow thing is a a scar. That's SOO cool. I find Sasha an accomplished entertainer. Amazing voice, great sense of humor. I grew up reading this stuff because a friend's older brother had tons of old comics from the 60's. You are the unparalleled best. Thank you for being you.
If I recall correctly, Scott wanted to name the baby Christopher after his dad but then Madelyne was like "Nooooo, we have to name him Nathan" and he just went along with it. Another fun Cable fact for you, Rachel Summers a.k.a. his alternate reality half-sister or full-sister (depending on how you view Jean's genetic relationship with Cable via her clone) was actually very involved in his life after he was infected with the techno virus as a baby. She even lead a clan in the future that worshiped him.
I’ve heard this story many times and read it once but every time I hear it I always forget how weird it is.
Cap's wolf head on the cover of capwolf looks so terrible lol. Imagine that exact cover coming out today. The head looks like it is not even in the right place lol.
I miss the old school comics quirkyness.
It looks like my first Photoshop, lol
It's amazing to see stuff like this from just 25-30 years ago and see how much more seriously supernatural and occult topics are taken by writers today. The modern equivalents are far darker, such as *War of the Vampires* and *Curse of the Mutants* - but it's essentially the same kind of story. It's occult-themed stuff without any of the actual occult. On the other hand, historical occult symbolism and lore has also made its way into comics since then, and we have the gaps between the two being filled with Doctor Strange, Doctor Doom, and Spirits of Vengeace - even some of this year's Black Cat story had elements taken from Eliphas Levi, Dr. John Dee and Sir Edward Kelly's treatises on sorcery and occultism.
Comic writers always manage to make something for everyone, and that's what makes these stories so relevant. Whether you want the fun and light-hearted stories like Capwolf, older Hellfire Club story arcs and the like - or if you're more into something that leans towards the genuinely disturbing (Robinson's *Scarlet Witch* and Lemire's *Moon Knight* runs, for example) - comic books have something for everyone and it's an exciting time to be reading them!
lol no witting banter about the McDonald's bag setting on top of the filing cabinet?
lol I won't give in to their product placement
I just made a comment about that lol
@@CasuallyComics CC, you might have gotten a free small fry if you played corporate ball....Does that change your mind?
You should do Cap’s next big story line after this where he’s trapped on a cruise ship full of third tier villain women.
22:21 My favourite supernatural arc is "Cher Down Below"; where Cher has to go to hell to clear up some minor continuity point in the MCU. Thanks for another great video.
I love how Mark "Marvel Encyclopedia" Gruenwald forgot Werewolf By Night exists for the Werewolf storyline, but apparently in a weird parallel to Stan Lee creating Doctor Strange because he forgot details about Doctor Droom, created Moon Hunter because he remembered Moon Knight first appeared to fight Werewolves.
Dr Druid is THE best character ever.
With your voice Sasha, I had an image of the Merlin from Venture Bros... Dr Orpheus!
Best supernatural out of nowhere arc for me is the Batman/Superman team up where they somehow end up on the set of Deliverance to solve some mystery. A beautiful and vulnerable young latchkey farm helps them......until she pushes Batman into some quicksand when Superman’s not looking and slashes Superman’s guts open with her claws - because she’s a vampire!
It takes a major left turn without warning and I remember the transformation and vampire art being very scary for a mainstream comic. It was in that weird time when Superman could go hand to hand with Darkseid but was vulnerable to ‘rabbit in a hat’ level magic.
It did have a great ending - Batman sinks into the quicksand but reappears in the nick of time to save disembowelled Superman. He’s covered in mud and water and has lanced the terrifying vampire girl on a long improvised stake. He makes some comment about how he solved it (after she shoved him to his suffocating death - good job, Worlds Greatest Detective) and that you can actually swim through quicksand if you’re calm and strong enough.
It’s a bit tonally odd but some of the art is great and a Batman solution that does show cool headed thinking and improvisation plus clear studying and knowledge of the supernatural does contrast the two characters well.
Omg I love how the comic makes Droom out to be a joke and even more how sasha points that out and gives him a dumb voice 😂
FUN FACT: Feral isn't a werewolf at all. She's a werecat. So in this story she's a cat trying to join a club of dogs.
Think THAT'S bad? With the bullshit stuff about Romulus in the Wolverine comics later, they included SASQUATCH in with the "wolf people."
Its funny that this is what's remembered of gruenwalds cap run, because to me, it is the best cap America run. You write a run for ten years, and see if things don't get weird by the end lol
...isn't Jack Russell, a.k.a. "Werewolf by Night" also in this story? I read it, or perhaps about it, years ago and seem to remember him there as well...
I'm really fond of Jason Aaron's run on Ghost Rider, broadening what it means to be Ghost Rider, and that huge epic finale that was all that comic bombast that I just eat up. Earlier supernatural stuff...70s Marvel horror books especially Tomb of Dracula.
Oh my God the fanfics make sense now!
Nothing is more funny than Steve just asking if every werewolf was John Jameson
Steve looks more like a were-golden retriever than a wolf
Cap 333-350 is one of the best story arches in Cap’s history. 351 after gets pretty weird for a long time.
"But I don't want to cure cancer, I want to turn people into werewolves!"
-Dr. Nightshade, probably
There’s something kinda endearing about a less popular doctor strange like character wanting to prove himself .
I read this as an eight year old kid and thought it was an amazing storyline, it was definitely made at the top of a marvel comics era of the nineties.
That is a bad ass scar u got!! Love to hear the story sometime, or not, i dont wanna be rude, but really u wear it very well👍
Somehow I was lucky enough as a child to only own 1 Captain America comic. #405. Capwolf. The only part of the comic I could recall before watching this was the opening transformation.
How the hell did I forget the pony-tail wearing druid and his mental standoff struggle thing? It might be my favourite thing of 90s comics.
Marc Greenwald's Cap run was equal parts brilliant and insane.
He'd tell this big epic Cap stories and then do something goofy, most likely because he just felt like it, or because there was a character no one else cared about that he liked.
Dr. Druid is a bit of a punchline, but I enjoyed the two really short lived teams he was on,: The Monster Hunters and the Shock Troop.
The first Captain America comic I ever read was right in the middle of the Capwolf storyline. It was an… interesting introduction to the character.
6:33 THANK YOU! Sorry it’s off topic, but as much as I love Wolverine I really hate that they made it seem like he could kill the entire X-Men team. I still don’t buy it.
Definitely had an issue of this I got from dollar tree as a kid. Cap wolf is a classic
LOL Gotta love that low-key McDonald's product placement in the panel at 3:30. Captian 'Murrica!
Moonhunter looks like the most 90s thing ever.
4:20 People saying it without emphasis on the I for Drew-id will always make me think of the Mystrey of the Droods song.
You should do a video on another 6-issue story called, "Captain America: The Estrogen Stratagem". Bizarre AF.
I love the villain referring to Cable as the “bionic interloper” like not even he knows who Cable is or why he’s there! 😂
I didn’t read Cap from 1980-1995 and this was just one reason why! Thanks you for the laughs!😵💫😀
The Howling was good. American Werewolf in London was better.
Cycle of the Wolf was a S. King book that had some great art for every chapter. Almost a graphic novel.
The Adventures of Space Wolf and the Moon Gems
('moon gems' was my band in high school)
(i use to snort killer 'sky cycle' when I was in a band in high school)
18:03 I completely forgot the doppleganger crossover but I knew one when I saw it. It's kin to the spider-man one that was always hanging around Carnage like a puppy. Also to the one that Usurped Latveria while DOOM was away with... IIRC Kang in the Infinity War arc. That one showed up in a great couple issues of Silver Sable's Wild Pack. It dealt with Latverian-Symkarian diplomacy, and had of course Battlestar and Sandman!
I just watched this today, and I'm horrified to admit that I'd like to see a video about the history of Dr. Druid. I'd imagine it would have a title along the lines of "Dr. Druid... Why?"
Love your pronunciation of Druid. (drood)
You have inspired me to start combing through my ancient collection of comics which led to Marvel Team Up and the werewolf version of ...Doctor Strange! Issue #80 has Doctor Strange as the single most boring werewolf ever. The best part was where Spider Man shows Doctor Strange's hairy palms to Strange's girlfriend Clea. The significant part is the next issue #81 where , for whatever reason , the daughter of Satan , Satana intervenes and sacrifices her life to unwolf Doctor Strange. I think that Doctor Strange survives as a character despite the weak boring depictions he received during the 70's and 80's .
That’s how I was introduced to James Logan Howlett. Lady Deathbird stuck a spear in his spine and dropped him in one hit. Jubilation Jubliee Lee pulled it out. And the ol knucklehead got back up.
The whole Capwolf story was utter nonsense. I love it!
I was subscribing to Captain America during this run. It was my first ever comic subscription and I had it for about a year. I was waning in my interest in the title and then Capwolf happened. That was more than I could take--a sure sign I had hung on too long with an already lackluster title. I cancelled my subscription and never looked back.
My intro to Nightshade was in the Luke Cage Netflix show. And then I saw her in a Black Panther run I read
We should really question Cap's judgement. He keeps hiring known criminals and villains. Dude JUST tried to kill them "Want a job with the Avengers?". Even Jameson Jr. was previously a Super Villain in his wolf form. I know he was free of that when he was hired, so no longer a bad guy, but he was still hired without any precautions to make sure that was a done thing, and that there wouldn't be problems later. I remember that this was at the time that Spider-Man was not able to join because of the stuff the Bugle was writing about him being bad. And Cap hires the guy as the Avengers new pilot (though we've seen everyone fly that quinjet, do they need a pilot (especially moreso than a therapist)?) without even checking with any other Avengers feedback or whoever is in charge of/funding the Avengers at this point, was it SHIELD or the US Gov/Gyrich, or the UN at that point? Pretty sure it was before Stark funded them himself. Does Cap just show up at the mansion and tell everyone "Hey guys, Jamesons gone, This is moonhunter, He's our new pilot. I met him when he was teamed up with some other supervillains and tried to kill me. But he's a good guy, I guess, as of 10 minutes ago, so give him access to our entire base. And way back (though with Marvels sliding scale timeline it wouldn't be that long ago) he had the entire Avengers team made up of previous (but only recently previous) enemies/bad guys/villains. Hawkeye, Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver. Two of them recently members of Magneto's brotherhood of EVIL Mutants. Bent on taking over the world or killing everyone or whatever. I get that he's all about redemption but doesn't even do any further vetting, or anything to make sure they really are good. I mean they JUST NOW CLAIMED to be good guys now, all of a sudden, after ages of being enemies. How do you know it's not a trick? All the Avengers enemies should just tell Cap in the middle of the fight that they want to join the Avengers and He'll be like "Sure, here's the keys to the mansion, make sure to check out all our top secret files so you'll be up to speed on everything".
Love the videos and your enthusiasm for the absolute weridness for the issue in all its glory keep it up Sasha!
I was collecting Cap when Cap Wolf was published in single issues. I won’t lie, I thought it was pretty silly even way back when.
Hearing you say “howl at the moon” sounded like “Howlett moon”. Do wolverines howl? All I know is his real name makes a lot more sense to me now.
sasha...when you said "when you down there, like etc...and pointing...hmmmmm, a whole different idea run to my head....lol,
I had these comics, too. It's the first time I was introduced to Deadpool.
I'm pretty sure the guy who doesn't get cured, because he doesn't want to be, is Jack Russel(?) Werewolf By Night, who was introduced earlier as the source of the synthetic werewolf serum. And antidote. Or whatever. He's a legacy Marvel character from the 70s (at a time when they were trying to get back to some horror roots) who shows up every once in a while.
More importantly, or maybe less importantly I'm not sure, what was this mutagen that Doctor Nightshade hit Cap with in an earlier episode?
I had the second of the two Spider-man comics where the Man-Wolf premiered. I also got the Power Records comic version, where they cut out all the non-Man-Wolf parts and had voice actors (Including Pete "Speed Racer" Fernandez!) dramatize the action on an included 45 RPM record.
I am so old.
So the source werewolf is...Jack Russell. As in the dog breed. Uh-huh. 🤦♂️
Wow, you said it, a lot of a lot! Don't think I'd ever pick it up myself, but it was fun to have you go through it.
This was the point when I quit reading Captain America ... that is, until Priest did his Cap/Falc run and Ed Brubaker started up another Captain America #1. (I actually loved Mark Gruenwald's Captain saga. That was one of the highest peaks for the character. But MODAM and CapWolf and Cap armor and the continuing drama between Steve Rogers and Diamondback? That stuff really, really stunk.)
Wow.
I'd heard of Capwolf before this but if I'd known it was this silly I'd have looked it up years ago. (Silly in a wonderful way.)
Pal, I was there and it was batshit insane even by my standards.
ok, this made me giggle, i just hit subscribe! good job, i only follow a select few.
Wolverine doesn’t sleep. He wanders around gets brainwashed and wakes up. And does it again.
We definitely need to talk about marvels Justice league rip off the Squadron Supreme Featuring Hyperion(Superman),Nighthawk(Batman),Whizzer (Flash) and Zarda(Wonder Woman)!
Not ripoff...Grunedwald's deconstructionist take on same, just like Watchmen was for the Charlton Comics heroes (though Squadron Supreme was first). BTW, think you overlooked Tom Thumb (Atom), Magicka (Zatanna), Golden Archer (Green Arrow), Doctor Spectrum (Green Lantern) and Nuklon (Firestorm) in that listing.
i have Nightshade as a Heroclix. she had been away from comics for a while but Gruenwald was the right to bring her back!
WOW! As I get ready to have CAPWOLF AND STARWOLF T- shirts made- As usual your comic timing is spot on and your Dr Drood voice yes yes yes! Doesn’t everyone want to self-heal there neck wound ? Awesome!
The werewolf that drove off is, I believe, Jack Russell, aka Werewolf By Night, whose lycanthropy is due to the Darkhold and curse inheritance. Nightshade may have drawn the serum from Jack>
Werewolf by Night has a curious look as he normally does not have a snout but more like the old Universal Wolfman. I guess it was during one of his feral stages.
He is lol showing up for yet another 90s cameo.
I'm familiar with the 70s blaxploitation Nightshade-in which she turns Falcon into a werewolf and forces him to fight Cap. she's a silly character with a silly premise, but I'm here for her.
Nicely done
It's easy to call something like this hokey, or absurdly stupid, but when you're tuned in and just waiting for such a comic to brighten your day... man, what a fantastic comic :) Starwolf! Yeah!!
2:35 ESPECIALLY since Jameson is Avengers Staff.
Ok, so Cap has been a vampire, zombie, werewolf, coke head, Hydra agent, symbiote host, and mutate of the High Evolutionary. Now, if we just had a comic where they all met and formed some version of the Thor Corps. Cap-verse! Oh, and don't forget his kids, people who have taken over for him, cybernetic Cap, Hulk Cap, and 'old man Cap'.
I truly like the way you tell the story
I've got the capwolf marvel legend from a couple years ago.
I am now starting the faith of Cap Wolf. The religion we need
I can imagine in a different dimension, there is an alternate version of (STEVE ROGERS) who isn’t just (CAPTAIN AMERICA) he is also secretly a werewolf.
6:02 I really other than this story thought of her as just the Luke Cage enemy.
Cap villain goals
Red Skull: world domination
MODOK: bring about a tech revolution and overthrow the government
Flag Smasher: unite the earth by destroying nationalities
Nightshade: Being thirsty for werewolves and wanting a harem of them. Doesn’t want to become one because that’ll defeat the purpose.
Yo, I love this episode Sasha. I never knew about Capt. Wolf. Got to find those comics. Cable cameos are the best. Currently reading "Marked" which spotlights magic and tattoos.
Check out Captain America #164 (1973) to see Cap's first encounter with Deadly Nightshade and experience a gigantic, werewolfed Falcon! Plus, a whole mess of some of the weirdest looking werewolves you'll ever see.
sasha has a fun stories to tell makes for a good friend
"one time I turned into a dog and they helped me"
Omg I love your wizard voice! Made me laugh even more at him doing what he did
There was a callback to that series in the "Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe" one-shot. Now I know what they were talking about.
Cap was going through some weird stuff in the 90s. This, the teen cap arc...
I was looking for nic naks for my office and ran across a Marvel Legends CapWolf figure
Capwolf. This is why you buy comics. Sure as heck why I bought it. A Super soldier werewolf? Sign me right up.
I'm not sure if it's intended, but I think I recognize the guy who gave the werewolf a ride out of town. I think he's Wolf, a member of Team America (Stunt Motorcyclists from the early 80s). And I know this comment is about 5 years too late.
Sasha sounded so stressed in this vid, I think she's low on fic sustainance
this is my fav CC ep so far
He fights for truth, justice and the lycanthrope way.
X-Cutioner’s song X Family cross over saga was Ninth Doctor Brilliant. Lol
The initial appearance of Nightshade would be a worthy follow up to this. It was the Falcon IIRC that turned wolfman there, and I think she was all of 16 years old(!) at the time as well. :D
Cool vid. Cap Wolf Rocks.
I think it would be great if this ComicBooks stories set could be shown in a few new cartoon shows.
But think the storyline for the episodes involving this set of ComicBooks stories should be tweaked a bit.
And the reason why is because I theorize this way there is a better chance that the cartoon shows, with the episodes made being able to become more enjoyable to watch them.
