    Either a hero or Frontline will probably add the Dark part to Osborn's team but I doubt the government would allow that as an official addition to the name.

    Lex Luthor isn't crazy. He's just evil.

    And sometimes crazy.

    I don't think so, but I'm not sure. There might be rumors, but I guess they're pretty easy to squelch for someone who has the power he's about to have.

    He could just claim it was a Skrull trying to frame him up as the Goblin, because they wanted to keep him and Oscorp from interfering with the invasion.

    Well, it's certainly a free "get out of dumb plot twist" card for future writers to employ if they wish to.

    Ok why are there TWO wolverines? Who is the dude on the left that is like Iron Man but with a star on his chest. Why is cap using a handgun? Who is the black spider-man? The rest of the characters I think I know. When does it start? Maybe I should start with one of those--still not sure what to subscribe to and I feel so lost.

    The dark Wolverine is Wolverine's son
    that guy is Iron Patriot, who people tell me is probably Norman Osborn
    Cap is using a handgun because he's been using one ever since Bucky became Cap
    black Spidey is apparently Venom

    I think the mother is some Japanese chick, but I can't remember

    As for Bucky, he was also frozen in the North Atlantic for some years (minus one arm) but the Soviets found him and used him for a while as an assassin called the Winter Soldier, but they kept re-freezing him between missions, so he hasn't aged as much as he should

    He has weird claws because...he just does I guess. His mom was some Japanese woman and then he was raised by an abusive stepfather and became an outcast sort of thing. Also he's insane. And not a very good character so far really. And he has a stupid mohawk.

    Bucky's arm was blown off in the explosion that supposedly killed him and left Cap frozen. But he was also frozen and then later the Soviets found him and gave him a cyborg arm and turned him into the Winter Soldier and they kept him frozen except when they needed him to do missions. Recently they fixed of his brainwashing for the most part and after Cap died he became the new Cap with a gun. It's actually a very good story. There's also a chance I got some of that wrong so anybody feel free to correct me.

    If I remember correctly Bucky as the Winter Soldier was the one who killed Daken's mother. Her name was Itsu
