About the Collector

The Collectors real name is Taneleer Tivan, he is one of the Elders of the Universe. He is very powerful and can wield the Power Primordial. Although at first he took the appearance of an old human, his true form is a powerful alien. After losing his family The Collector decided to take up a hobby, so he began collecting interesting artifacts and life forms from around the universe. This became an obsession, he starting collected anything he considered rare or valuable often just for the sake of collecting. His collection contains a wide variety of rare or unique items. (Basically he is a hunter of things, like all of us.)

First Appearance
In Avengers #28 The Collector captures the Wasp and the Beetle. Led by Henry Pym as Giant-Man they battle the Collector in his lair. They rescue the Wasp but the Collector escapes with the Beetle using a time machine. 

In Guardians of the Galaxy
The Collector has already appeared at the end of Thor: The Dark World, he will apparently be collecting the five gems needed to power the Infinity Gauntlet for Thanos. He is again played by Benicio del Toro. In Guardians of the Galaxy the Collector will continue his pursuit of the infinity stones.

Now put your laptop down and get out there to find a copy of Avengers #28, you will be collecting the Collector.

Good Luck on Your Hunt!

The Movie Rights to Marvel Universe

Marvel Comics does not own the movie rights to all there characters. What the?

Back in the early 1990's they sold the rights to a number of their key characters. So what does this mean, no Avengers vs. X-Men for starters, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are complicated, Sony pictures is going to make a lot of Spider-man based movies, and Stan Lee is the man (we all knew that already).

It also means that we will continue to see tons of movie related toys and collectibles based on Marvel characters, just look at all the San Diego Comic Con Exclusives.

So be ready to continue to hunt down all the Marvel treasures.  Oh and don't forget Disney's hand in all this.

Good luck on the hunt!
