Changes: Midnight Sons (Uncleben franchise)

Revision as of 20:34, 18 April 2020

This new-crossover series introduces the dark and paranormal to the MCU, in a Defenders-style production of superheroes mini-series where the heroes eventually all come together in the Midnight Sons to fight a common enemy.

Phase 1

Man-Wolf

We begin with John Jameson (JJJ's son). In his series we follow him going to space, becoming the hero Colonel Jupiter back on Earth, and then slowly being torn apart by his villainous alternate personality, Man-Wolf, as he starts to lose control. A psychological thriller about John's descent into darkness. His season will introduce Morbius as a corrupting and manipulative influence, and explore the reason behind John's transformation via the mysterious and fantastical planet of Fortisque. Also featuring: J. Jonah Jameson & the Daily Bugle, Agent Martin Reyna, Simon Stroud, Stephen Beckley, and Jennifer Walters.

Darkholders

We learn that the Darkhold was not one of a kind, but instead an artifact of a deep, ancient magic that has transgressed many generations and been in the middle of many underground wars. Our protagonist Victoria Montesi is forced into the centre of it all after learning the truth about her father, who was infertile, and used the book to sire her, bearing her into a family of priests and magicians but losing the book at the same time. Ghost Rider brings the book to Victoria, attempting to restore the Darkhold with its guardian family, revealing to her not only her family's hidden past, but also that she is naturally resistant to the corrupting influence of the Darkhold and is able to cast spells from it without any known penalty. Sub-plot: Victoria learns of her family's long-standing deep hate for vampires - like Morbius. Supporting cast: Louise Hastings, Modred the Mystic, Bova. Introducing Lilith, Mother of All Demons.

Hellstorm

Now that we have in-depth experience with the more occult and supernatural world, enter Daimon Hellstrom. We learn alongside Daimon of the truth of his origins and powers, explore Hell and death and all that fun stuff, maybe encountering some otherwise deceased characters along the way, before ultimately facing off against his sister Satana, sent to Earth as a succubus. Featuring Trish Walker.

Blade

Here we follow Blade, the Vampire Hunter, as the protagonist, doing what he does best, slowly getting tied up in a fight against Morbius, with John (Man-Wolf) on Morbius' side. The season culminates with the two setting their differences aside for a common purpose - Lilith - and forming the Midnight Sons.

Midnight Sons

Blade, Morbius, John/Man-Wolf, Victoria, and Hellstrom go head-to-head with our antagonist Lilith, as her and her Lilin begin their invasion. At their lowest point Morbius is infected by the Lilin Bloodthirst, resulting in Louise Hasting's death, and in a misguided attempt to stop him, Blade is (temporarily) turned into Switchblade by the Darkhold, (temporarily) killing Morbius, but in the end, the team triumphs and is branded as the Midnight Sons. Introducing Yuvraj Singh.

Phase 2

Hannibal King

First show post-Midnight Sons, Hannibal King, a private investigator finds his job description has been ominously pulled towards supernatural and occult detective, hunting demons and helping spirits.

Agents of S.T.A.K.E.

aka S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Paranormal Containment Unit, aka Nick Fury's Howling Commandos

More of a spin-off of the other series, this would be dark-comedic, half-hour-instead-of-hour, take on a paranormal thriller, focusing on several side characters, with cameos by previous leads. Clay Quartermain, Martin Reyna (now as Warwolf), Paul Kraye, Zombie, Goom. The series follows a lose arc leading the group on a mission to secure the 'Earth Idol of Golthana' from a tanker ship after it mutated the crew into mindless humanoid plant creatures.

Victoria and Yuvraj take on the real Darkholders, and their creation of the N'Garai. Featuring: Chthon, Modred the Mystic

Blade II

Blade meets a new vampire in town, Henry Sage, who tells him about a new serum that allows vampires to survive in the sunlight. When that serum proves to be a little more than advertised, Blade is left trying to stop his old-nemesis and now friend, Morbius, once again, and get to the bottom of the new drug. Also featuring: Hunger.

Hellstorm II

Hellstorm takes on Satannish and Dormammu himself, in a battle for Hell, forming a fragile and ostensible pact with Mephisto along the way.

Morbius

Pseudo-origin story, we learn about Morbius' origin, and one of his first intended victims, Amanda Saint, whom he ended saving from the Demon-Fire cult. In the present, Stroud is on the hunt for Morbius, whom he believes was responsible for the recent death of Chief Warner. But the real culprit proves to be Reverend Daemon, who had past ties to the Demon-Fire cult, himself, bringing up the past memory of Saint. But as things come to a head, Daemon's own past catches up to him, as they are visited by the Fortisquan Caretakers. Morbius meets the Cat People demons, and band together to defeat Reverend Daemond and the Caretakers. Also Featuring: Man-Wolf, Balkatar.

Midnight Sons II

The slightly new look team (now with Hannibal King) comes together to take on Lichidus and the Deathwalkers. Hannibal King is bitten by an unidentified vampire.

Phase 3

Hannibal King II

Dealing with his new reality as a vampire, King teams up with Blade to form BorderLine Investigative Services (aka Nightstalkers) to take down vampires who prey on and drink human blood. One investigation leads them down the path to discover that King was turned by a vampire named Deacon Frost, and that Frost also was responsible from the creation of the doppleganger of Blade that King had been unwittingly working with all along. Featuring: Frank Drake, Quincy Harker, Taj Nital.

Agents of S.T.A.K.E. II

Bloodstone

Elsa learns of an old Peruvian prophecy that tells of the Monster King all the monsters fear. This leads her to an Inhuman kid in Atlanta named Kei Kawade with a passion for drawing, but whose, unbeknownst to him, new Inhuman powers allowed him to summon and create the monsters he drew, leading to an invasion of Monsters and the Monster King, Leviathon Mother. Featuring: Lucius Farnsworth, Medusa, Karnak

-Blade meets a new vampire in town, Henry Sage, who tells him about a new serum that allows vampires to survive in the sunlight (even if it is is still painful). Sage is put in jail, but later escapes. Meanwhile, Hunger, a sewer dwelling vampire, who abducts citizens off the street, has managed to get Morbius under his control. Not knowing Morbius' true nature, he injects Morbius with the serum, and instead of the intended effect, makes Morbius go unhinged. Blade and Morbius clash, yet again, and during the battle, Morbius bites Blade. Blade's enzymes were not enough to protect him from Morbius' unique form of vampirism, transforming Blade into a Daywalker: a vampire able to move about in the sunlight, even beyond the previous serum, and lacking most of the vampire's traditional weaknesses, but giving Blade a thirst for blood that needs to be satiated, or he loses his strength and control. Blade develops a serum for his thirst, and cures Morbius' madness, and the two take down Hunger, but are led back to Henry Sage, not just a user, but a pusher for the drug. Blade tracks Sage down and threatens to kill him if he doesn't tell Blade about the serum. Blade details his extreme hatred of Vampire ever since they killed his mother while giving birth to him. Sage then surprises Blade by telling the hunter that he can relate, saying he hates vampires as they are responsible for the death of his whole family, before he was turned himself; Blade finds it hard to believe that this vampire could have any feelings about his past life. This is when Morbius shows up, threatening Sage to tell them about the serum, but Blade hesitates. Sage uses this opportunity to escape and attack the two before fleeing. The two chase him to a cemetery where Blade impales Sage through the heart, causing the vampire to crumble to dust on top of the graves of his long dead family. In the aftermath of the battle, Blade realizes that a side-effect of the serum was that it also restore a vampire's humanity and considers letting the vampires have access to it after all, as a potential "cure".

+When an ancient allegiance of undead vampiric forces comes together to try to take back the mortal world, Blade and fellow vampire hunters Hannibal King and Qunicy Harker are forced to make new allegiances and race to make the ultimate sacrifice. Featuring: Varnae, Tabitha Gance, Xarus, Deacon Frost, Crease, Topher, Domini, Janus, Raizo Kodo, and Ghost Blade.
-Growing weary of mortals, Hadad possesses Tabitha Gance to summon and unite undead forces to claim what he feels is theirs, the mortal word. A gathering of the various vampire sects and undead creatures sits around his dark table, brought together by Hadad's dark magic, putting aside their prior histories and allegiances, and even the more noble vampires are swayed by Hadad's hypnotic persuasion. One young vampire though, Janus Tepes, at the pleas of his reluctant mother, Domini, sees the wrong and rallies a small group of creatures including Raizo Kodo (the Forgiven), snapping them out of it. The Forgiven seek out the vampire hunters Blade, King, and Harker to help takedown Hadad's forces, led by Count von Stadt, Crease, Deacon Frost, and Janus' brother, Xarus. The young vampire, Topher, initially sides with the villians but is won over and joins Blade and his team. Unbeknownst to them it is his intention to set-up Blade's team, and return to Xarus. Along the way, Janus is abducted by members of the Claw Sect, loyal to Hadad and Xarus, and he is brought back to his brother. During a fight, Xarus uses his brother Janus against the Forgiven and Nightstalkers, and Janus is accidentally killed. Blade "abandons" the team, and while the others think he is beating himself up over Janus and giving up, he secretly finds Janus and Xarus' mother, Domini. Without their leader, Topher provides insight from his time on the other side into where to find Morlun to finish the fight, however, it is meant as a setup. Topher, Raizo Kodo and the Forgiven, King, and Harker head out to what turns out to be an ambush. Topher and the Forgiven member, Ghost Blade, become split from the others while, King pairs off with Deacon Frost, and Harker, Raizo Kodo and the remaining Forgiven are left to take on Xarus, Tabitha, Crease, and von Stadt. King ultimately stabs Frost through the heart with a stake, but is taken out of commision while doing so; Harker is left crippled and the Forgiven are overtaken, beating near to death. Coming across the scene, Topher is overcome with what he has done; Ghost Blade realizes what Topher has done too. On cue, Blade shows up with Domini, and sees the bloodbath and Topher's state of guilt. A single look of hurt is all Blade spares before stepping out to face Xarus. Topher tries to run out to stop it and sacrifice himself, but Ghost Blade grabs and holds him back. Blade approaches and reveals Domini who tries to plead with Xarus, but when that doesn't work, she begins praying in tongues to resurrect Janus, slightly older now and possessed by the Golden Angel. Xarus does not hesitate to kill his own mother, but Janus is already back, and begins viciously attacking his brother in revenge. With her dying breath, Domini explains that neither brother will kill the other, that is not why she summoned the Golden Angel inside of Janus, but instead because the Angel has the power to restore the undead to living. She picks up a single fallen golden feather and brings it to her chest before dying. Understanding what to do, Blade picks up the feather and moves for Xarus, but before he can get there, he is hit by a blast from von Stadt's optical layers and is severely wounded, dropping the feather. Getting to his feet, Raizo Kodo picks up the mantle and the feather. As he lifts it, the bloothirsty Crease and von Stadt charge him, laughing. The feather shimmers and he lowers it down, driving the quill into his own chest like a stake. His body begins to crack as rays of light begin bursting out, until he explodes in a burst of light. A blast is sent out, striking all those who were left standing nearby. Xarus, Crease, and von Stadt are destroyed. Tabby is exorcised of Hadad. The threat defeated, the Golden Angel leaves Janus' body, leaving him young and human again. Raizo Kodo is left in crumpled heap - "cured", no longer a vampire, no longer undead, he is destined for a mortal life, making his sacrifice.
