He was much stronger than the MCU ever comes close to portraying. With like almost time-stopping spidey sense ability to avoid any incoming projectile.

I am currently, in my 40s, going through my nerdy comic book phase. I got a subscription to Marvel unlimited, and have been just churning through older comics at a crazy pace. The hard part is to know what to read, where to start, what threads to pull. Because stuff goes in so many crazy directions. but I love it so much, and am learning so much i didn't know. i didn't ever know Spiderman was that strong. i really didn't even know the extent of Hulk's strength. So many connections to groups I had no idea about. it really is a fun time discovering all this shit that people like you have known for decades.

I was never a comic book guy - love the movies, just never got into comics as a kid. I was more a baseball card collector. But, I've thought about getting the Marvel Unlimited to read through some and seeing what I'm missing because I know I'm missing a ton.

To me it's been totally worth it. I initially was concerned about spending almost what I spend on Netflix to read comic books, but really I get as much or more enjoyment out of it as I do Netflix.
I also enjoyed watching Capt Marvel with my daughter a few weeks ago, and when she would whisper to me about the cat, I would whisper back, "It's not a cat, it's a Flerken," and watch her look at me with incredulousness.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to check it out for a month.
