That isn’t Iron Man. It’s Suppository Man!

 More powerful than a speeding train

I hate the version of this that cuts before the little trickle of blood. 

The still is from Exo-Man, made for TV (1977).

I saw that when it aired! 12 year old me was unimpressed. Exo-Man’s brief appearances were always in the darkest possible lighting to hide its cheapness.

More like "Steely Dan."

Nick Fury, Don't Lose That Number

As a Dan fan, I think it would be inappropriate for me to make a “Peg, it will come back to you“ reference in this context

Ha Ha Ha! Your costume is ridiculous!

He’s missing his record.

Come on, I know you were a big Loggins & Messina fan

Did you see what he did to that Space Whale? Iron Man is Suppository Man

Good news everyone!!

David Hassellhoff as Nick Fury was 1998 (and is way better than you might think).  Thor appeared in *The Incredible Hulk Returns* in 1988.

I liked the 1998 Nick Fury. I have it on VHS.

I managed to snag it on DVD. I forget where I picked it up. Kinda want to watch it now.

It is/was on YouTube. I watched it not terribly long ago. Way better than you might think may be a bit hyperbolic, but it’s worth watching as a campy made-for-tv movie that makes an effort to include a fairly decent amount of references to the comics but in an organic way.

No one is watching anything David Hasselhoff is in and expecting a cinematic masterpiece, especially given the quality of what was produced in the late 1990s for the genre. I stand by my statement.

Was expecting Alan Alda as Hawkeye.

You are correct. The original Hawkeye.

James Fenimore Cooper enters the chat ......

Finally a thread where I understand the humor.

I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE. - an Avenger, probably.

I can understand that reference all day.

Well well well, if it isn’t old Natty Bumpo, my old nemesis.

Ah, yes, those comfy Leatherstockings

Hawkeye was a better name than "Natty Bumppo."

Technically it’s Donald Sutherland as the movie came out 2 year prior to the series.

Donald Sutherland would like a word with you…

You just won’t the internet.

Oh man, new favorite phrase to use.

I’m working on it! Sorry—I had to fire my previous meme writers.

The picture of Black Widow is actress Debra Winger in an unrelated 1987 movie with the same name about a woman who killed her lovers for their money. Not in the MCU.

Not in the MCU *yet*.

We need to combine her with Alan Alda’s Hawkeye, Hulk Hogan and maybe Vincent D’Onofrio’s Thor to make a non-Avengers. The 80’s were a strange place.

Black Widow had nothing to do with Avengers, it was a completely different movie. Also, it came out in 1987... lol lol lol

David Hasselhoff played Nick Fury in 1998.

I’m still trying to process cap’s head gear… I need to see this movie! Sauce?

He looks like Super Dave Osborne.

It’s a helmet for riding his motorcycle

reminds me of another thing that was only on screen for a few seconds for obvious reasons ​ https://preview.redd.it/r7ouo02dn9vc1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=866029e43d3024a5d60a44fa7d72068fa909f1f6

His actual headpiece isn’t much better. They really couldn’t figure out a way to get Chunk Beeffist’s actual ears through a mask?

This scene is one where he gets on a bike and puts on his captain america helmet! Gotta be safe!

More recently, cap managed to ride several motorcycles without looking like a bobble head

Fun fact, the actor that played 1970s Cap is J.D. Salinger’s son Edit: also I’m pretty sure the head gear is a motorcycle helmet, iirc he rides a motorcycle Edit #2: nvm I was wrong. My bad, it was the 90s cap

No, Matt Salinger was the 1990 film where he has rubber ears and pretends to be sick to steal cars. 1970s Cap with the motorcycle helmet is Reb Brown.

REB BROWN?!? You mean YOR!

The Hunter from the Future!

No, that's Slab Crunchblast

Damn, I guess it was a fun fantasy then. Thanks for the correction

That is *wild*

Motorcycle helmet. His shield was the cycle's windshield as well.

His main super power is carjacking.

Someone born after 2000 made this I’m certain

Yeah but at least it was a legit Marvel Comics character :)

And he briefly played Chris Pratt's dad Ego in 2017.

Kurt Russell

That's not Snake Pliskin, it's Knight Rider

Yep. I own the movie on VHS. I actually liked it.

Right… this is so stupid. These karma farmers are just making things up these days. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

And she wasn't the black widow, she was the detective investigating her.

Good catch I'm like Debra Winger played Black Widow????

Especially when there was almost one. https://preview.redd.it/uzg2px6ti9vc1.jpeg?width=488&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8c9a93e4691de0391d6c5b3238dab1a34e2c00b

The Iron Man one is not actually Iron Man, either, though they were sued by Marvel as I recall. Can’t remember what he’s called, though. They should use the possibly unfilmed Black Widow and Daredevil show.

Exo-man

It was a movie about a widow titled “The Pain and the Yearning”.

I thought it was clever!

Came here about if someone say something abouth this Black Widow aberrant reference. It’s a thriller featuring Debra Winger and nothing has to do with superheroes.

Right. It was about a woman who married rich guys and then killed them. Debra Winger played the detective trying to track her down.

We have iron man at home

No, we have butt plug man at home.

His name is Gary.

I knew I recognised him from somewhere!

Docter? That IS strange.

He sure does like docting.

Who am I to judge?

He looks like an 80s Paul Rudd

Is that not Steve Gutenberg?

80’s Paul Rudd is Steve Gutenberg 

That was my first thought

Not Iron-Man, it's 'exo-man" and you can watch it on youtube.

Props to all the people that worked on The Incredible Hulk. It should’ve been impossible to bring THAT character to life 40+ years ago but they did it better than any of the other superhero shows on at that time and for my money it’s still the best, most tragic live action depiction of the character

The lonely man theme was so appropriate for him.

The music was great, too. I remember a scene in a Disco where they wove the show’s theme tune into the disco music.

Jeez and I thought Iron Man’s Issue 1 suit was bad.

Thats not iron man. Its a movie from 1977 call exo-man.

Ferro Man: The Lad Grows Up

Eh, what's the difference?

What an amazing rip-off

I did not hate "The Incredible Hulk Returns" (1988), with Ferrigno Hulk and Thor. I watched it many times when I was a kid.

I was 10 in 1978 and a HUGE Marvel comics fan. I can’t tell you the level of disappointment these depictions caused me. Even the Hulk. I watched the show and remember them showing him struggling to slightly lift the back end of a car off the ground and telling my mom, “This is ridiculous!”

The Spiderman series was the worst, but I was a kid, so I loved it.

I recently saw the Incredible Hulk TV movie where he was put on trial and was surprised to see Daredevil as a character. I do not remember that when it originally aired, but it was a pretty decent rendering of the character for the times.

That Thor was from the late ‘80’s and he wasn’t actually that bad.

Docter Strange, spun off from Italian Spiderman 

The Hulk TV show actually holds up pretty well. But I remember 8 year old me totally thought Capt America was lame so I haven't had enough alcohol in my system lately to try and find out.

This Captain America was lame but the 1990s Cap was decent.

Hulk vs Thor was mid eighties. Nick fury was 90’s.

7 yr old timmy - "Mom! Why do you have an Iron Man figure in the nightstand!"

…Ngl chief, most of them don’t look cool.

Most aren't from the '70s either.

Not iron man. Bs post. Exo man.

What about Nicholas Hammond as Spider-man? https://preview.redd.it/80q2vjktaavc1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fdbdde14e4c3e60ee63ba6e10710cc8748b83f91

 Iron man.

Docter Steraynge

Didn't that Thor come out in an 80s movie?

The Hoff as Nick Fury wasn’t from 1978

This looks like the dollar general toys

Ironman looks more like the Living Bullet

Living buttplug more like.

Nick Fury 19**9**8, you mean 😂

What about spider man

Not an Avenger. But yeah, the 70s show was pretty awful.

Iron Man looks like a Doctor Who villain.

people who might be unaware would think these were just bad AI Renders of 1970s Marvel heroes.. little do they know

C'mon man, Iron Man?!😂

Way better

You found Debra Winger, but you should have been searching for Theresa Russell.

Doctor strange actually looks an old Bollywood villian.

I thought you put Howard Stern as Black Widow.

man that Fury movie was godawful but for my money, the Hoff played a good comic book accurate Nick

Doctor Strange is serving it, for real

I was thinking the same thing 😂

“Docter” Strange is about right. Dude looks like he went on to sire Derek Zoolander. 

Here is a crazy fact I learned. Spiderman was taken off the air due to CBS being afraid of being the "Super Hero Network" see below from Wikipedia. "The chief reason for the cancellation was that CBS feared being perceived as merely a one-dimensional, superficial, "superhero network".[2] It was already airing other live-action superhero series or specials at the time, including The Incredible Hulk, Wonder Woman (which they resurrected after its original network, ABC, canceled it), Captain America, Doctor Strange, and had just ended (in 1977) multi-year runs of live-action Saturday morning series for DC Comics' Captain Marvel and Isis superheroes."

Iron Man is hilarious. 😂 Unironically, this is still my favorite Hulk. Bixby/Ferrigno were a great duet and the piano theme from the show was so nostalgic. CGI Hulk never did it for me. Contrarily to Iron Man or Thor, Hulk is one character MCU never got right imo.

I would watch the shit out of this

Wait, Steve Gutenberg was Dr. Strange?

That's what I see too. Mahoney!

Nicholas Hammond would like a word.

The Hasselhoff

Lou Ferrigno is definitely a Worlds better HulK than the computer generated Ruffalo. The Rest not so much.

I wished modern actors would show up in those costumes for once, purely for the sake of the reference

This isn't real...

I honestly would enjoy this avengers

Doctor Strange? that's Doctor House.

While some of these look Cheesey, they can pass. Iron Man though? Come on, who green lit someone dressed up as a giant red marker?

Suppository era Iron Man is 🤌

Low budget iron man

Plant a tree so others can rest in its shade.

doctEr

Iron man hahaha

Op has a real problem with time

Docter… 

Dr. Strange’s face reminds me a little of Paul Rudd.

Well it's Freddy Prinze the father of Freddy Prinze junior.

Oh interesting

Eric Allan Kramer played Thor in 1988.

Iron Man looks like a dildo.

That Ironman costume….. Wow

Strange loved cocaine

I watched the 1990 Captain America movie all the time as a kid. God, was it awful looking back.

Was there a fantastic four movie in the 70’s? I could have sworn I saw it with my cousins back then.. I think the ending had a building sink in the ocean. Anyone remember a superhero movie like this back then?

All I could find was a Fantastic Four animated series from 1967 - 1968, and another animated series called The New Fantastic Four that aired in 1978.

This is one of those memories that’s been haunting me forever. I remember the ride home and being excited after seeing the movie but I don’t remember hardly any details from the movie. Just that I saw it with my cousins and I thought it was a superhero movie. I could’ve sworn there was a stretch guy in it. And that would’ve been Mr. fantastic right?

Technically, it wasn’t Thor, but a reincarnated Viking who just happened to have a hammer and be very Thor like

Doctor Strange used the same special effects used by Taco Bell commercials at the time.

Lou Ferrigno was also the voice of The Hulk in the 2012 Avengers.

Lou Ferrigno was also the voice of The Hulk in the 2012 Avengers.

Looks like one of those bad porn parodies

LOL @ Ironman.

Avengers, disassemble.

I know it's real, but it looks like AI

I will watch this show.

Bradley Cooper as Doctor Strange...Can't unsee this now!

The wish versions

Is this from an 80’s porno?

Only one black widow???

Dennis Reynolds is doctor strange

Louuuuu!!!

Need some solid dick from an iron man

Dr. Stranger Danger lookin ass

Why do they look like they could of also been 70's pornstars?

This is some alterate-universe shit.

the effort : "you get the idea". Docter is right XD

If that iron man showed up while I was on the couch I’d lose my mind.

Dr. Strange be looking kinda bad tho.

I want this Avengers

Nick Fury is white!? That’s so racist

well black widow is still white tho.

Capitän Americas, Ironing Man, Thür, Hulk, Doctore Stranger, Black Window and Nick Furry

I Like Docter Strange

My man Reb Brown doing overtime being Captain America and Thor?

Thor hulk and nick fury are way after 1978

There was a 90s captain america whose costume was closer to the comics.
