Scooby-Doo and the gang have another mystery on their hands. But this time, they're helping out two of Scooby and Shaggy's greatest heroes: the Blue Falcon and his Dog Wonder, Dynomutt, as they face the threat of the villainous Mr. Hyde.
Tropes present:
- Actor Allusion: Diedrich Bader voiced a Lighter and Softer Batman in Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Here he is voicing an actor playing a Darker and Edgier Batman Expy.
- Adaptational Badass: A cooler and more formidable incarnation is what the newer edgier Blue Falcon film is meant to be for the franchise, in universe.
- Advertised Extra: Despite Blue Falcon being seen on the film cover, being on equal footing with the rest of the cast (or Shaggy and Scooby at least), the man who played Blue Falcon is only in a small handful of scenes. Justified in that he's mostly there trying to prove his worth of being the original Blue Falcon and because he was tricked into being the bad guy in order to gain recognition.
- Affectionate Parody: To a bunch of old Hanna-Barbera cartoons, but most notably Blue Falcon - who is now even more of an Affectionate Parody of Batman. Heavy on the 'affectionate' part - the movie is very devoted to the older things it's presenting (at one point, Shaggy even makes an impassioned speech about this).
- Arch-Enemy: Naturally, Mr. Hyde is one of Blue Falcon and Dynomutt's greatest foes.
- Batman Gambit: The whole plot is a highly elaborate plan to divert attention away from the convention, then divert traffic so that Jack Rabble can steal the contents of an armored car holding millions of dollars. It hinges entirely on certain people reacting to the Mr. Hyde scheme in very specific ways.
- The Cameo: The entire convention is loaded with artwork and people cosplaying many HB characters such as The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt (obviously). Also Frankenstein Jr., Space Ghost, The Herculoids, Mighty Mightor, Yogi Bear, Top Cat, and plenty more.
- James Becker is designed to resemble Paul Lynde who had done multiple HB voices in the past and most of them also physically resembeld him.
- The city's mayor is designed the same as the mayor of Big City in the Dynomutt cartoons.
- At the premiere party, Bram from Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire as well as Wulfric, Jean and Joane from Big Top Scooby-Doo! can be seen.
- The Mancrab, featured in an episode of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, is worn as a costume by a kiddie ride employee.
Advertisement:
- Cast as a Mask: Mr. Hyde is voiced by John DiMaggio, with his true identity as Jack Rabble voiced by Fred Tatasciore.
- Casting Gag: Brad Adams (star of the Darker and Edgier Blue Falcon) is voiced by Diedrich Bader, previously a Lighter and SofterBatman.
- The German dub went even a step further. While Brad Adams got our BATB equivalent, Owen Garrison has the voice of Eberhard Haar, the German VA of Batman in Batman: The Animated Series
- Celebrity Paradox: The old Hanna-Barbera shows were all actual television shows within this Scooby-Doo movie despite other times being depicted as real-life. This in itself is a Mythology Gag as it's not the first time Scooby has done this, let alone other Hanna Barbera series.
- Crossover: A crossover between Scooby-Doo and Dynomutt, Dog Wonder, obviously.
- Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Jack Rabble is a robotics expert capable of creating highly effective robots, including a Humongous Mecha..and his plot is to steal several million dollars. Though his Role-Ending Misdemeanor from how much damage they originally caused probably made it hard to find investors that were willing to take him.
- Fanservice Extra: The people in swimsuits at the party the gang investigates are minor characters providing fanservice.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Mr. Hyde creates inventions to use for his crimes.
- Hartman Hips: Daphne as usual. Also Jennifer Severin.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Sadly, Mr. Garrison was swindled out of the rights to the Blue Falcon and was not even allowed to wear the character's costume for years.
- Humiliation Conga: Shaggy and Scooby must endure this after doing nothing wrong; all they really did was panic on live TV.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Owen Garrison and, as it turns out, Brad Adams, are both very confrontational at first, but ultimately turn out to be decent people deep down.
- Large Ham: Owen Garrison, probably as a nod to his inspiration, Adam West.
- Latex Perfection: The Dynomutt mask Scooby-Doo wears at the end for his role as Dynomutt in the new Blue Falcon film is perfectly flawless and lifelike.
- Lawful Stupid: The guards at the comic convention are very judgmental and accuse Owen Garrison under flimsy evidence.
- Legacy Character: The new Darker and Edgier versions of the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt become this in the sequel of their movie, establishing that the new Blue Falcon is the original Blue Falcon's son.
- Mythology Gag:
- The very first Dynomutt episode was a crossover with Scooby-Doo that featured Mr. Hyde as the villain, the same plot as this film.
- As mentioned above the use of Celebrity Paradox is one to continuity of Hanna Barbera in general.
- The title sequence features the Black Knight, the Miner 49er, the Space Kook, Redbeard's Ghost, the Ghost Clown from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, and Joker's and Penguin's Troll and Dryad costumed monsters chasing the gang before Scooby and friends are saved by Blue Falcon, Dynomutt, Space Ghost, Zandor, Mighty Mightor and Frankenstein Jr.
- Owen Garrison is named after Gary Owens, the original voice actor of the Blue Falcon.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Owen Garrison is clearly made to be Adam West, complete with Jeff Bennett doing an impersonation of him. Also, his characterization echoes Simon 'The Gray Ghost' Trent from the Batman: The Animated Series episode 'Beware the Gray Ghost'.
- Even the part about him being banned from wearing the Blue Falcon costume by the producers of a new movie about the character is taken from real life, based on an incident where Clayton Moore was sued by the producers of Legend of The Lone Ranger over his continued appearances as the character taking attention away from their movie.
- One-Winged Angel: Mr. Hyde grows into a giant at the climax. Subverted in that it's actually a remote-controlled Humongous Mecha.
- Police Are Useless: Again, the comic-con guards. They prove to be useless in tracking down the real criminal and just falsely accuse Owen Garrison.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Mr. Hyde, along with the Hideous Hyde Hound, have red eyes and are villains.
- Red Herring: All of the people the Gang suspected to be Mr. Hyde turn out to be red herrings, including Owen Garrison, whom everyone suspected the most.
- 'Scooby-Doo' Hoax: Mr. Hyde is really Jack Rabble in a costume, using his inventions to try and get money after his career as a Combat Bots participant went belly up.
- Serious Business: Shaggy and Scooby are such big fans of Owen Garrison that they're angered at the fact he's accused of being a suspect.
- Shout-Out:
- To Batman. If the Blue Falcon himself already wasn't enough for you, look at the picture. There are bats on the cover.
- The comic convention features banners of all sorts of Hanna-Barbera characters, like El Dorado and The Impossibles. The costume contest also has a bunch of people cosplaying as classic characters, including Speed Buggy, Penelope Pitstop, Thundarrnote and The Flintstones. The entire movie plays out like a giant love letter to the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons.
- The head security guard is even a dead ringer for Paul Lynde, who did voices for several HB characters like Claude Pertwee from 1970's Where's Huddles?.
- The kid who takes the last video is designed to look like DD from Clue Club
- At some point Scooby-Doo throws out his Dynomutt suit to the trash as in 'Spider-Man No More' of 'Amazing Spider-Man' #50 (July 1967).
- The movie is produced by James Tucker (co-producer of Batman: The Brave and the Bold and directed by series director Michael Goguen. As such, this movie contains many shout outs to that series.
- The opening sequence shows the gang alongside various Hanna Barbera heroes fighting various HB villains, much like Batman's opening showcasing him fighting various DC villains alongside other DC heroes.
- Brad Adams (star of the Darker and Edgier Blue Falcon) is voiced by Diedrich Bader, previously a Lighter and SofterBatman.
- Daphne is shown obsessing over a toy bird for her collection. Grey DeLisle voiced Black Canary.
- Tara Strong voices two character in this movie. The main character she voices is a kid named Austin, an adorkable cheerful child, much like her own Billy Batson.
- Kevin Michael Richardson voices the mayor. In Batman, one of his characters was the president, another major political figure.
- John DiMaggio voices the Monstrous Mr. Hyde. One of his many Batman characters is Gorilla Grodd, whose in a similar vein.
- Take That!: The producer of the Darker and Edgier Blue Falcon movie, who also created the in-universe Transmollifiers series, who loves putting 'Revenge' in the titles of her movies, is a clear shot at Michael Bay.
- 'When the studio asked me to put the Blue Falcon on the big screen, I had just one question: Instead of a story, can I just blow things up? And they said yes!'(raucous applause)
- They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: In-Universe. The Scooby Gang is attending a San Diego Comic Con–type convention where a fictional Blue Falcon and Dynomutt are being reintroduced as Darker and Edgier. Shaggy and Scooby aren't pleased about it.
- Took a Level in Badass: Throughout the film, Shaggy steps up to defend his idol, Owen Garrison. Shaggy even used actual deduction skills while trying to solve the mystery.
- Scooby-Doo is also portrayed as braver than usual.
- You Gotta Have Green Hair: Austin.

Blue Marvel (Adam Bernard Brashear) is a fictionalsuperhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The Blue Marvel debuted in Adam: Legend of the Blue Marvel #1 (November 2008) and was created by actor/writer Kevin Grevioux, who originally conceived the character as a child.[1]
Publication history[edit]
Adam Brashear debuted in the five issue Adam: Legend of the Blue Marvel mini-series created by Kevin Grevioux.[2][3] A different version later appeared briefly in What If? Secret Invasion #1 (February 2010).
In 2013, Blue Marvel appeared as part of Luke Cage's new team of superheroes during the Infinity crossover, in the Marvel NOW! relaunch of Mighty Avengers.[4]
Fictional character biography[edit]
Adam Brashear is a former fullback at Cornell University as well as a veteran of the Korean War, a member of the Marine Corps with two Silver Stars.[5] While in the Marine Corps he met Conner Sims, the friend he would later know as Anti-Man. Brashear later became the project lead on a scientific attempt to harness anti-matter through the creation of a Negative Reactor which created a bridge between the Negative Zone and the positive matter universe. This reactor would be a source of unlimited clean energy by allowing devices to tap the stable event horizon balanced between the two universes. Due to the unexpected explosion of the reactor, both Brashear and Sims were subjected to mutagenic radiation generated by the destabilized event horizon. While Sims' body dissolved into energy, Brashear became a stable 'antimatter reactor' with superhuman abilities, which he used to fight crime under the superhero alias Blue Marvel.[6]
In 1962, Adam received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President John F. Kennedy and on that same day the President asked him to retire, since it had been discovered by the public that he is an African-American. As the Blue Marvel, Brashear wore a full-face helmet, but when it was damaged in a battle, his identity was revealed. There was massive controversy as the era of 1962 was too racist to accept a black superhero. Although Kennedy personally approved of Brashear's actions, the President reluctantly decided to ask Brashear to step down, and the Blue Marvel conceded.[citation needed]
At some point, Adam Brashear studied a mysterious being called the Infinaut who made various attempts to manifest on Earth. In the Infinaut's second manifestation in 1998, Adam and his son Kevin used an anti-matter powered rig to interrupt it. Adam discovered that if Infinaut had manifested on Earth at his large size, he would've destroyed it.[7]
He came back for a final mission, defeating the herald of an alien invasion armada. After the fight, he left the Medal of Freedom in the Blue Area of the Moon, where he first met Uatu the Watcher. His conversation with the Watcher was interrupted by the late arrival of the alien armada, which he defeated. The United States government used this final mission to fake his death. The government later sets up S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Marlene Frazier as Brashear's monitor under the cover name Candace. Frazier eventually became his wife and the mother of their two children.[8] Brashear later became a tenured professor of physics at the University of Maryland.
Conner Sims, the Anti-Man, was a radical who, partly because of his history with Adam Brashear, violently hated racism (he being Caucasian) and, in his power-fuelled insanity, sought to eradicate it. When Anti-Man returned and defeated the Avengers, Tony Stark (Iron Man) tracked down Brashear and with the help of Mister Fantastic they came up with a plan to stop Anti-Man. After a surprise confrontation with Sims on the moon, Brashear was left unconscious. Later an extended fight with Anti-Man resulted in Candace Brashear's death. At the conclusion of their battle, Brashear took Anti-Man up to the edge of the ionosphere and siphoned off his remaining 'anti-matter energy' which caused his waveform to permanently decohere and collapse.[9]
Afterward, Brashear returned as a full-time superhero in Age of Heroes #3. After a discussion with Uatu the Watcher, he travelled to Uzbekistan to help the Winter Guard subdue the extra-dimensional King Hyperion.[10]
During the Fear Itself storyline, Blue Marvel was exploring the Negative Zone when he returned and discovered a submarine lodged in Kadesh, his undersea base. (Blue Marvel was the first person to discover and enter into the Negative Zone). Both the Chinese and American forces blamed the other, and they seemed on the brink of war. Blue Marvel managed to save his anti-matter samples from being exposed to water, and relations between the Chinese and Americans returned to normal. Blue Marvel wondered where the submarine came from, and he soon discovered that the sea dragon guarding the Serpent's undersea prison was responsible for sending the submarine into his base.[11]
During the Infinity storyline, Uatu visited Blue Marvel in his Undersea Science Fortress which he had previously modified. Blue Marvel talked with Uatu about his family life and how he could have taken up the opportunity to join the Avengers.[12] After a one-sided conversation, Blue Marvel took up his costume and flew through Shuma-Gorath's head during its fight with Luke Cage's team. He was able to heal Spectrum (who had been incapacitated by Proxima Midnight's spear) and boost her powers temporarily. Subsequently, Blue Marvel was among those Luke Cage declared to be part of his Mighty Avengers.[13]
During the 'Last Days' part of the 2015 Secret Wars storyline, Blue Marvel was seen with the Mighty Avengers where they fight the Illuminati. After the battle, Blue Marvel tells Mister Fantastic and Black Panther that he is angry they never consulted the other heroes on this, saying they could have prevented all this if they had all worked together.[14]
As part of the 2015 All-New, All-Different Marvel initiative, Blue Marvel appeared as a member of the Ultimates.[15] Blue Marvel's first mission with the Ultimates involved retrieving the incubator that Galactus was brought out of prematurely. Once they put him back into it, he fully emerged as a lifebringer.[16] While in Exo-Space with the Ultimates within their ship the Aboena, Blue Marvel finds that his old enemy Anti-Man has reassembled there.[17] As Blue Marvel wanted to kill Anti-Man where he deemed him too dangerous, he also discovered that his son Kevin was also in Exo-Space who persuaded his father to spare him. Blue Marvel does and has Anti-Man brought onto the Aboena so that he and the Ultimates can fix him.[18]
During the 2016 Civil War II storyline, the precognitiveUlysses Cain experiences a vision that warns Blue Marvel about the impending arrival of the inter-dimensional traveler Infinaut on Earth, which will endanger the planet. This warning gives sufficient time for Blue Marvel, Giant-Man, and the Ultimates to devise a Pym Particle accelerator with which they can shrink Infinaut down to human size, at which point Infinaut greets the heroes.[7]
During the God Butcher storyline, Blue Marvel and the Mighty Avengers, along with the rest of humanity, have been killed by Loki. Blue Marvel's reanimated corpse appears as part of a legion of undead heroes sent against Old King Thor by the God of Mischief, but are ultimately defeated by The God of Thunder.[19]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Anti-Matter Energy Absorption seems to be the main source of Blue Marvel's power. This source of power is the energy released from anti-matter which derives from the inter-dimensional universe called the Negative Zone.
Legend Of The Red Falcon Full
- Superhuman strength: Blue Marvel possesses vast superhuman strength. He has been observed moving a meteor the size of Arkansas and routinely lifting and flying an aircraft carrier a considerable distance. The uppermost limits of Blue Marvel's strength is unknown, but it is in the same ballpark as Hulk, Sentry and Thor.
- Nigh invulnerability: Blue Marvel possesses nigh-invulnerability and durability, being capable of withstanding tremendous impact forces, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury. He has withstood a nuclear detonation without any apparent physical trauma and is capable of surviving in the vacuum of space unaided.[20]
- Flight: Blue Marvel flies by manipulation of gravitons, manipulation of magnetic fields, control of his absolute molecular movement, and utilizing his superhuman speed. Blue Marvel can easily attain escape velocity (or escape speed, which is about 34 times the speed of sound) and fly far beyond supersonic speeds, but it is not known if he can achieve speeds beyond the speed of light.[20]
- Enhanced mental perception: Blue Marvel possesses the ability to sense and comprehend things on levels that far exceed human capabilities.[20]
- Energy generation: Blue Marvel has the ability to generate and control negative matter energy based on antimatter. He can manipulate this energy for various effects, including creating energy constructs.[21]
- He can release his energy in the form of energy blasts, including Concussive Force Bolts, Stun Bolts and Energy Pulses[22]
- Molecular manipulation: Blue Marvel evidently is able to affect matter at a molecular level with a great degree of precision and control, as he did when he not only healed Monica Rambeau, but further boosted her electromagnetic abilities. It is not known if this ability is limited to electromagnetic particles only, or if the Blue Marvel is able to affect all matter, allowing him to alter an object's molecular composition or transmute elements.
- Bioluminescence: Brashear/Blue Marvel has exhibited the ability to emit light from his body.[23]
- Longevity: Blue Marvel ages much slower and lives much longer than normal human beings.[24]
- Trained combatant: He has been trained by the US Marines in armed and unarmed combat.[25][26]
According to Brashear he is a stable 'antimatter reactor', but from his broader explanation what he appears to do is channel exotic particles generated by a stable event horizon caused by the interaction of opposing positive matter and negative matter (Negative Zone) universes. Because Brashear has retained his abilities all this time, it would seem that either the specific generative reaction, that granted him his powers continues at an unseen or subatomic level in the facility where he first gained his abilities, or exotic particles generated by the experiment somehow became quantum entangled with Brashear.[8]
Brashear holds a PhD in Theoretical Physics and a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University.[5] He maintains a massive undersea headquarters in the Marianas Trench at a location known only to Namor the Sub-Mariner.[6] Brashear normally wears gauntlets on both arms that channel and augment his vast powers. Blue Marvel is able to create portals from technology that he invented that far exceeds any technology currently on earth. Blue Marvel's main weakness is Neutronium, a substance from the Exo-Space.
