## Resource

This week we take you for a wild ride uncovering the forgotten Marvel TV show from 1997 - Nightman! A jazz playing superhero that Marvel absorbed into the Marvel Universe when they purchased their rivals, Malibu Comics! We’ll explore the history of Malibu Comics and the creation of “The Ultraverse”. We’ll dig into the relationship between Marvel and famed TV producer Glen A. Larson, the man behind hits like Knight Rider, Buck Rogers, and Magnum PI! Then we’ll pull apart this low budget action-adventure TV show scene-by-scene to break down all of its bad acting, terrible special effects, and saxophone playing! Plus, we’ll bring you the history of Nightman and the Ultraverse, his crazy origins and powers, and the wild Marvel crossovers where Nightman fights Loki, Gambit, and Wolverine!
