Marvel has given a lot of superheroes very grounded settings \ shortcomings to bring readers closer to these virtual characters.
Iron Man is an alcoholic, Spider-Man is indecisive, Wolverine is a 160cm dwarf, and Nick Fury is an old smoking gun that can't be separated from his mouth.
In addition to these "character flaws" settings, Marvel has also given many ordinary people's sufferings to some heroes, and cancer is one of them.
Here are 5 heroes who have suffered from cancer in Marvel Comics. Some of them have overcome cancer to continue their heroic careers; some have been with cancer and insisted on justice in pain and suffering; others have died with regret after the torture of cancer.
Eddie Bullock and the Alien Symbiote make up the most classic "Venom" in Marvel history.
Originally Venom has always been obsessed with revenge on Spider-Man and is considered a villain, but Venom has a moral code that prohibits harming innocent people. Because of this, when Venom is not driven by revenge, he becomes an anti-hero and upholds justice in his own form.
Eddie Bullock in the comics has suffered from cancer, and the symbiote constantly devours infinitely proliferating cancer cells to keep Eddie Bullock alive. But Eddie had had enough of being tormented like this.
In the end, in order to make up for the mistakes he had made, Eddie auctioned off the symbiote venom that protected himself, and donated all the money from the auction to charity. Eddie, who left the symbiote, did not die of cancer, and Mr. Negative, a villain who could reverse the properties of everything, destroyed Eddie's cancer cells and revived Eddie Bullock.
The Lao Wang family in the comics has been on the mission of guarding the Supreme Mage for generations, and in the Lao Wang's generation, Doctor Strange has become the object of his protection.
Doctor Strange: The Oath is one of the best comics in Doctor Strange' IP,
The old king in the comic has not had much time with brain cancer. In order to save the old king, Doctor Strange even traveled to other dimensions to fight against powerful demons to snatch the elixir that could cure all diseases.
In the end, Dr. Strange, who had experienced all kinds of difficulties, finally fed the magic medicine into Lao Wang's mouth and saved his most important partner.
Thor is one of Marvel's most inspirational superheroes.
When Thor questioned his own divinity by doubting the meaning of the gods' existence, he lost his right to use the Hammer of the God of Myrnier. During this time, Thor's ex-girlfriend, Jane Foster, picked up the Hammer and became the goddess Thor.
At this time, Jane's physical condition is not too good, she has breast cancer, but fortunately, she is only in an early stage, and she can be completely cured by chemotherapy.
But after becoming a female Thor, chemotherapy didn't mean anything to Jane. When Jane picks up the Hammer and transforms into the Goddess of Thunder, the power in the Hammer removes all the poisonous substances from the host's body.
Chemotherapy drugs happen to be an alternative harmful substance that kills cancer cells, and cancer cells are, in a way, mutated normal cells, and the energy in the hammer will ignore them.
In this way, the longer Jane became the goddess of thunder, the heavier her cancer became, and eventually the cancer cells metastasized to other internal organs in Jane's body, and in the last battle, Jane died of cancer (and was later resurrected by the hammer).
Deadpool is one of the most insane and successful anti-heroes created by Marvel.
Deadpool, whose original name was Wade Wilson, was originally a top mercenary in Canada, and after suffering from cancer, he underwent experiments in the X Weapons Laboratory in order to survive.
After Wolverine's genes are injected into Deadpool's body, Deadpool has the same self-healing ability as Wolverine.
However, the infinite proliferation of cancer cells in the body is mutually exclusive to his self-healing ability, Deadpool is suffering from cancer at any time, and his self-healing ability is always repairing organs and skin damaged by cancer cells. That's why Deadpool is scarred.
The original Captain Marvel Marvel was the first well-known hero in Marvel comics history to die of cancer.
In order to protect the earth, he is attacked by the nerve gas of the villain Nitrifying. The gas caused him to develop incurable cancer.
In the face of death, Captain Marvel did not mourn and complain. In the last moments of his life, he chose to accept fate with his own grace and dignity, surrounded by friends and lovers, the peaceful sacrifice of Captain Marvel.
