The Thunderbolts have undergone many reinventions over the years. They have featured, unlike other major teams, Marvel’s worst of the worst. It’s even been compared to DC’s Suicide Squad or the Secret Six teams in its later iterations. This is due to their status as a band of supervillains recruited to undergo deadly missions, either at the request of the US government or a shady benefactor— something that the upcoming Thunderbolts* film will explore. Their ’90s debut had a much more unique premise than the modern iterations, which had readers engaged from issue one. The series was full of constant plot twists and bombastic action, though it was ultimately held together with top-tier writing that had fleshed-out characters that hadn’t been given much depth prior.Many variables fell into place at just the right time to ensure the success of the Thunderbolts in the ’90s, as sales for some of their biggest characters were plummeting at the time. The Thunderbolts had an edge that elevated them, leading to a 190-issue run. After the disappearances of some of Marvel’s biggest heroes during the Heroes Reborn era, a new team of apparent saviors appeared called the Thunderbolts. However, they were actually the fearsome Baron Zemo’s Masters of Evil in a twist that immediately captured readers’ attention. They planned to become adored by the public to be known as the world’s greatest heroes and use that as their gateway for conquest.The latter had also made waves with the miniseries Marvels, written by him and illustrated by Alex Ross. This comic was all about the civilians of the Marvel Universe living through different eras of superheroes. Busiek wrote compelling stories around a wider universe, weaving fascinating stories into the lore of Marvel. He was open about how this directly inspired his ideas for Thunderbolts ages before it was developed into a proper comic story.
