In the comics, the original line up of Thunderbolts are all villains pretending to be heroes. The name derives, according to Baron Zemo, from a poem by Thomas Randolph: "Justice, like lightning, ever should appear to few men's ruin, but to all men's fear." Zemo adds, "Our hope is that we can be that lightning – that justice."

Fans of the Marvel comic "Thunderbolts" may have had mixed feelings about this new feature film. I know I sure have. The original series was about a team of superheroes who were secretly villains in disguise,

Populated by the schlubs of the superhero world, "Thunderbolts*" is another step in the right direction for the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it continues extricating itself from the mess of the Multiverse Saga.
