After listening to a Nadia x Emil playlist created by buygoldby, I was inspired to create a playlist based on the life of Abomination in the comics. Particularly his early rivalry with the Hulk, his quest to rekindle his relationship with Nadia, ext.

I tried my best to find songs that encapsule parts of his life and/or motivations

Each song and it's numbered in placement in the list holds meaning. There are only a couple songs, maybe two put in purely because the just make me think of him. Most had to have a meaning that matched a part of his life

Hope you like. If you got any ideas for songs that work have questions regarding song in this last such as why I may have picked it. Feel free to leave a comment or shoot me a message.

I'd be interested in your thoughts on the Hulk's greatest foe, Emil Blonsky/Abomination. He's always been a personal fave gamma character and it's a shame he tends to be seen as just an evil hulk, dude used to be more complex and tragic.

My favorite Blonsky comes from the Ultimate Destruction video game. His voice actor killed it in that game, terrifying as Blonsky but also managed to make you sympathize with him when you found out his reasons for doing what he did. His 616 origin of being a Russian agent feels terribly dated to me, and I'm disappointed no one seems interested in stepping up to revamp him.

Abomination works better for me as a character who starts out wanting to exploit the Hulk for his own benefit, whether that's to empower himself or to treat his dying wife. That way he becomes a classic case of "be careful what you wish for" where he gets the power, but is stuck as a monster. 616 Blonsky conceptually is lame to me, but the attempts at replacing him (Red Hulk, Immortal Abomination), haven't done anything for me either. He suffers from the "Zod" problem where people use him because he's the "evil Hulk", but they don't have anything deeper to say about him. Even killing Betty didn't do much to level him up as a character, and most people aren't even aware that he did that anymore.

Like the Superman Rogues, a lot of the Hulk Rogues need goals other than challenging Hulk to a fist fight. For Abomination that goal once was trying to find a way to switch between forms the way Bruce does. My direction for him would be to grant him that ability finally (I think we've wrung all the pathos we can out of him angsting over his inability to change back and forth). Next I'd return to an old bit of continuity. Once upon a time, Abomination actually protected a community of outcasts living in the New York City sewers called "the Abominations" in his honor. I would revive that concept, Blonsky builds a community for mutates like himself and Bruce, and he serves as their protector. The problem is that Abomination has no problem attacking others to take what his community needs, and doesn't care about hurting anyone outside his community, thus keeping him as an anti-villain rather than making him an anti-hero.

Finally I would bring his wife Nadia back. Now 616 Blonsky abused his wife, she hated him and wanted to kill him. Have Blonsky revive her using gamma so she becomes a gamma mutate too, and make them a dark reflection of Bruce and Betty. Bruce and Betty fight but ultimately love each other and that love unites them. Meanwhile Nadia hates Blonsky and keeps trying to kill him, while Blonsky is desperate to try and win her back. After reviving her as a mutate, she freaks out and escapes, periodically returning to target Abomination in revenge while he tries to track her down and force her to return with him. His community of outcasts and his wife, those are the two ongoing concerns for him that can help keep Abomination as an ongoing threat for the Hulk. You get some nice contrast with Hulk as the outcast drifter who never fits in anywhere, while Abomination has build himself a community. Meanwhile Hulk has a family that loves him, as weird and messed up as it is, while Abomiantion's family is fundamentally broken.

Banner is talking to Emil here, but there is no way he isn’t also, at least unconsciously, talking to himself as well in regards to how things are going for him and Betty....

I've brought this up before, but I refuse to write whatever they turned Emil Blonsky into in the more recent Marvel comics and the MCU.

The Abomination is a violent wife beater and an abusive prick that terrorized his wife and used to use her as his personal punching bag whenever he was in a salty mood (which was all the time.)

He has absolutely NO remorse for his actions and proudly brags about how his wife is his property and how he can do whatever he wants to her.

Nothing about this guy screams loving husband. Even GENERAL ROSS was more of a devoted husband who treated his wife like a queen compared to Emil Blonsky attacking his wife Nadia.

Emil Blonsky was born in Zagreb (then part of Yugoslavia) and became a KGB agent who infiltrated an Air Force Base in New Mexico where Dr. Bruce Banner was experimenting with gamma rays. Blonsky triggers the event that turns Banner into the Hulk, and himself turns into a hideous lizard-like creature.[11][12]

The Abomination reappears when summoned by a coven of witches to briefly battle the cosmic hero the Silver Surfer[13] and summons Thor (via an absent Stranger's technology) to aid him in escaping the Stranger's laboratory world. Thor frees the Abomination and the other captives, but, on discovering they are all evil, uses his mystic hammer Mjolnir to time travel several hours into the past to undo his mistake. After defeating the Abomination and placing the Abomination in prison, Thor departs.[7] When the Hulk is defeated by the alien Xeron the Star Slayer (who is in New York City hunting a giant creature called Klaatu) and brought aboard a space vessel, the Abomination is revealed to be First Mate of the alien crew. When the captain of the vessel directs Xeron and the crew to battle Klaatu in space, the Hulk and the Abomination are thrown from the vessel and battle until the pair are drawn into Earth's orbit and separated.[14]

It is revealed in flashback that the Abomination entered into a coma on impacting with the Earth and is buried for two years. Revived by an off-course missile fired from Hulkbuster Base (under Ross's jurisdiction), the Abomination joins forces with General Ross to defeat the Hulk, but is battered into submission by an angered Hulk.[15] The Abomination reappears with fellow Hulk foe the Rhino, and the pair activates a gamma bomb at the Hulkbuster base in an attempt to destroy the Hulk. The Hulk's companion of the time, Jim Wilson, deactivates the bomb and the Hulk tricks the villains during combat, forcing them to collide and knock each other unconscious.[16] A comatose Abomination is eventually found by soldiers at Ross's direction and has a miniature bomb implanted in his skull, being told to fight and defeat the Hulk or be killed. The Abomination tricks the Hulk into an alliance and betrays Ross by attempting to ransom the captured Kennedy Space Center. The plan fails when the Hulk turns on the Abomination and the pair fight, with the Abomination being caught on a rocket when it explodes.[17]

An illusion of the Abomination also appears with illusions of other Hulk foes when the Hulk (at the time possessing the intelligence of Banner, thanks to being made to a device called the Encephalo-Helmet) enters the brain of Colonel Glenn Talbot at microscopic size to excise a mental block placed in Talbot's mind by the Gremlin.[18]

The Abomination eventually reappears as a servant of the entity the Galaxy Master, having been empowered with even greater strength. After another extended battle with the Hulk, the Hulk attacks and destroys the Galaxy Master, causing the Abomination to weaken and apparently become lost in space.[19] When MODOK invades Hulkbuster Base, he colludes with General Ross to revive the Abomination, who was found in a block of ice above Earth and kept in cryogenic storage for further study. MODOK intends to use the Abomination against his superiors at A.I.M., while Ross wants to use him to destroy the Hulk. The Abomination, however, has become afraid of the Hulk as a result of their past battles and has to be mentally forced by MODOK to fight the Hulk. MODOK, however, is ousted by A.I.M., and a hesitant Abomination is beaten by the Hulk when he intervenes to save Banner's laboratory assistant. The Abomination refuses to rejoin the fight, and is disintegrated by MODOK.[20]

During the Secret Wars II storyline, the Abomination is restored by the demon-lord Mephisto, who directs the Abomination and other villains against the cosmic entity the Beyonder as a member of the Legion Accursed.[21]

The restoration is temporary, as a still-disembodied Abomination's atoms mingle with the disembodied atoms of the villain Tyrannus, who reintegrates the Abomination's body and places it under his mind's control. Tyrannus, as the Abomination, then comes into conflict with the Gray Hulk, and quickly defeats the weaker version of their foe. When the Hulk reverts to Banner, Tyrannus forces him to create a procedure that will remove Blonsky's mind, who is mentally fighting Tyrannus' mind for control of the Abomination's body. The process is successful and Blonksy is restored to a human form, free of Tyrannus, whose mind is still occupying the form of the Abomination. An enraged Gray Hulk defeats Tyrannus, who is placed into custody by the organization S.H.I.E.L.D.[22]

After encounters against Avengers Wonder Man[23] and Hawkeye,[24] the Tyrannus-controlled Abomination reappears during the "Atlantis Attacks" storyline with the Deviant Ghaur freeing Tyrannus from the body of the Abomination by restoring Tyrannus' mind to a duplicate of his own body and placing Blonsky's mind within the Abomination's body once more. The process drives Blonksy insane, and he battles heroes Spider-Man and the She-Hulk, managing to knock both unconscious. The Abomination is eventually driven off when set on fire by the She-Hulk.[25] The Abomination's mental faculties eventually return and the Abomination reappears in the "Countdown" storyline as a pawn of another Hulk foe, the Leader. The Abomination is sent to a toxic waste site to collect samples, and encounters the gray version of the Hulk again, who is outmatched and also weak due to being poisoned. The Hulk, however, throws the Abomination into toxic waste that partially dissolves and horribly scars the Abomination.[26]

The Abomination temporarily teams with villains Titania and Gargantua[27] and finds and stalks his former wife, Nadia (a famous ballet dancer). The Abomination captures her and after taking her into the New York City sewers, reveals his true identity. After a brief skirmish, the Hulk persuades the Abomination to free his wife.[8]

The Abomination is also captured by the robot Sentinels, but is eventually freed by the X-Men.[28]

After befriending a woman who finds her way into the sewers,[29] the Abomination battles Namor during an attempt to save his kidnapped former wife.[30] The Abomination retaliates against the NYPD when the Police Commissioner orders the sewers be cleared of all homeless, who the Abomination has placed under his protection. After killing several police officers, he is eventually driven away when confronted by the Hulk.[31] The Abomination battles the mutant Nate Grey (who is searching the sewers for his lover and fellow mutant Threnody, who had been one of the homeless followers of the Abomination), who uses his mental abilities to trick the Abomination in thinking that he defeated Grey.[32] He battles a delusional Hulk[33] before encountering the Angel when the mutant visits the sewers in which he was once captured and maimed during the "Fall of the Mutants" storyline.[34]

When Betty Ross dies in the title Hulk, Banner mistakenly thinks her proximity to the Hulk has induced a fatal case of radiation poisoning.[35] Using a gamma device, a vindictive General Ross tracks what he believes to be the Hulk to a destroyed town, where the Abomination reveals he was the true culprit. Despite baiting a newly arrived Hulk, the Abomination is unable to force the Hulk to fight and departs.[36]

The circumstances of Betty's death are eventually revealed: Blonksy's transformation into the Abomination apparently alienates his former wife Nadia, driving his hatred of Banner; Blonsky, deciding to deprive Banner of Betty in return, secretly poisons her with his radioactive blood. After hearing the Abomination's admission, Banner eventually discovers the truth and the Hulk defeats the Abomination in combat. Taken into custody by the military, Blonsky is forced to watch old home movies of him and his wife together (prior to his transformation) as punishment.[37] Operatives from a secret organization "Home Base" eventually release the Abomination to battle the Hulk, and although able to taunt the Hulk about Betty's murder, he is defeated once again.[38] This encounter is revealed to be a dream generated by longtime Doctor Strange foe Nightmare in an effort to torture the Hulk.[39]

After a humorous encounter with the demigod Hercules, in which the Abomination is chosen as an adversary for the hero while he completes the modern version of the 12 Labours of Hercules,[40] the Abomination is pardoned and employed by the U.S. government as a hit man against hostile foreign powers.[41] The Abomination is also a conflicted opponent for the heroine the She-Hulk (currently employed by spy organization S.H.I.E.L.D.).[42] The Abomination has a subtle but significant role in the World War Hulk storyline,[43] being the source of gamma-irradiated DNA that allows the creation of an anti-Hulk response team.[44][45]

The Abomination reappears after the events of World War Hulk, encountering a new foe called the Red Hulk. This new opponent savagely beats, shoots, and kills the Abomination.[10] Later on, it is revealed that the Abomination's killer, the Red Hulk, is actually General Ross's gamma-powered alter ego; he killed Blonsky as an act of revenge for his deliberate gamma poisoning (and later death) of Ross's daughter Betty.[46]

During the "Dark Reign" storyline, the Abomination is among the dead characters present at Zeus's trial.[47] Abomination reappears in the court of Pluto, attacking the Olympian god when he loses power over the dead.[48]

During the "Chaos War" storyline, the Abomination is among the dead characters in the Underworld that Pluto liberated in order to help defend the Underworld from Amatsu-Mikaboshi.[49] Abomination fights the Hulk and his allies until Marlo Chandler taps into the Death essence within her to destroy his undead body.[50]

A shadow organization (later revealed to be the Order of the Shield)[51] bent on gaining control of the Hulk harvests biological material from a mortally wounded Bruce Banner. After Banner regains consciousness following the experiment and escapes as the Hulk, the organization uses this material to resurrect the Abomination under their control, leaving him "free of a mind or a conscience" and with an ability to seek out Banner/Hulk for retrieval.[52] Hulk defeats the Abomination yet again with the aid of the Avengers. Iron Man uses technology taken from the Order of the Shield agents to teleport the Abomination into interplanetary space estimated to be "somewhere in the vicinity of Jupiter".[53]

Tissue samples of the Abomination were later used by the U.S. Hulk Operations to graft to the corpse of Rick Jones that revives him as an Abomination/A-Bomb-like creature that Dr. Charlene McGowan calls Subject B.[54]

After ripping Rick Jones from Subject B's body in a brutal battle, Hulk Operations Commanding Officer General Reginald Fortean teleport to Gamma FLight Headquarters in space, killing Sasquatch and temporarily killing Doctor Samson to retrieve the Subject B husk. Fortean then willingly fuses himself with the body.[55]

[senorchampion]

A while back I read this post by buygoldby, that pitched this idea of Betty Ross being friends with Nadia Blonsky. The idea being that they get along so well while there husbands are constantly at odds. This inspired me to draw a couple picture

[monimccoythings]

I want an AU where Emil is released on parole earlier, and is basically forced to join the Thunderbolts to pay his debt to society. And he's also married to Nadia and after years of being separated by a glass cage, they are living in a perpetual honeymoon state.

They can't keep their hands off each other for a second. Missions, meetings, galas or whatever they are just over there in the bush getting naughty.

This drives nearly everyone who works with him nuts. Aliens are invading and the rest of the teammates are like "where the fuck is Emil". And the team supervisor (It would be Ross honestly because it is hilarous) who is very VERY tired of their antics just thinks "This dumb bitch better not be making out with his wife again."

And he is.

[darlingitsagathaharkness]

I disagree. Victoria Alonso said that Marvel had more 30 different proyects on going in total, so there are a bunch that just haven't been announced to the public, and I believe Thunderbolts is one of them. It's just like Agatha's one, nobody knew she was getting her own show until Wandavision released, so they won't release any news about Thunderbolts movie/show until they actually hint a plot, or have most of the members already presented in the shows.

And I don't think it is casual that so many potential members that hasn't been in the front line of the MCU are appearing in shows (Zemo in TFATWS, Blonsky in She-Hulk, Hammer for Armor Wars, Yelena in Black Widow,etc). It's like saying that we aren't getting a Young Avengers or Midnight's sons teams when characters of potential line up are popping in different shows. Do I think all of those will be in a possible line up? No, specially because having this team and Dark Avengers team at the same time isn't impossible either, so that's why the new roaster of Thunderbolts got my attention since they aren't villains.

About the comics, even when I don't know about them a lot, I was able to notice it.Marvel don't addapt what happens in the MCU but usually reflect characters and plots that are big in MCU, even when it isn't exactly the same and It has been like that for a while. For example, Wanda is introduced in Age of Ultron? She gets a new solo series in the comics. We got a new invented Wasp aka Hope Van Dyne? A new invented Wasp appears in the comics, Nadia. Echo is getting a bigger role leading a new show? What a coincidence, she is also in the front of the comics because she is the Phoenix host now. Even Clea who is hugely rumored to be introduced with a big actress for DS2 had become the Sorcerer Supreme in the comics ...It is not exactly the same, but characters get their importance changed when something is going on in the MCU.

In fact I doubt the roaster of an hypothetical Thunderbolts teams will the same a, specially because the characters that actually exists in the MCU of that line up (Clint, Monica, America) are retiring, likely joining whatever cosmic team we are getting after Guardians end, and likely joining Young Avengers, respectly. But it is really noticeable to me that they released a new line up an instead of using villains they choose heroes.

The new Marvel Thunderbolts team have héroes on it (América Chávez, Clint, Monica...)so while the movies doesn't have direct relationship with what happens to the comics, there are obvious pushing of certains characters and teams when they are appear in the MCU.

So I'm guessing that the MCU line up of the team will be more about Anti Heroes and even full heroes than villains...
