#hate-monger

Marvel Comics' 2025 PRIDE anthology one-shot for 2025 - Marvel United: A Pride Special #1 - will feature four adventures:

Al Ewing and Kei Zama's tale shows Aaron Fischer, Captain America of the Railways, confronting the Hate-Monger.

Anthony Oliveira and Pablo Collar's story features Arnie Roth and his fight alongside Captain America against Hydra during World War II.

Wyatt Kennedy and Bayleigh Underwood's tale follows Mystique and Destiny and their son Nightcrawler.

Zoe Tunnell and Federica Mancin's story finds Black Cat's heist going a bit haywire as she finds herself teaming up with Sera in a battle against D'Spayre.

As well as interviews and essays.

Marvel United: A Pride Special #1 goes on sale on June 4, 2025. The issue sports a cover by Lucas Werneck and variant covers by Jan Bazaldua, Ernanda Souza, Luciano Vecchio, and Rickie Yagawa.

Yeah, the Hate-Monger is not a particularly subtle symbol; Jack Kirby had Something To Say about racial hatred in all its forms, and as a "premature anti-fascist" (and WWII vet) himself, clearly shared in the view advanced by the advocates of the Double V campaign that Jim Crow was American fascism full stop.

The Hate-Monger (fyi, the original Hate-Monger is technically a clone/memory upload of Adolf Hitler created by Arnim Zola in yet another example of how HYDRA is 100% Nazi) is also an example of Jack Kirby's continual interest in the theme of hatred and mass hysteria and how demogogues can manipulate the masses.

We see this theme returned to again and again in Jack Kirby's Fourth World, with Dr. Bedlam's Paranoid Pill from Mister Miracle #3, or (as @elanabrooklyn has pointed out) Glorious Godfrey in The Forever People #3.

Until men truly love each other, regardless of race, creed, or color, the Hate-Monger will still be undefeated!

Fantastic Four (1961) #21 — Stan Lee, Jack Kirby

"The editors predict this is the most unusual, thought-provoking tale you will read this season! We believe you will agree!"

"Destined to become a Fantastic Four classic!"

Where the fuck do these people come from? Lauren Witzke is arguably even worse than Marjorie Taylor Greene. 😡

Putin is no Christian. He goes to church about as regularly as his vassal Donald Trump.

Lauren Witzke is a nut just like Vladimir Putin.

She was the failed GOP candidate for US Senate from Delaware in 2020. She uses religion to justify her virulent homophobia. She even bizarrely called the Teletubbies 'Little Gay Demons'. 

One of her minions who pointed a gun at protesters was just sentenced to four years in prison in Delaware.

She’s yet another idiot anti-vaxxer who then came down with COVID-19.

At Tumblr, Witzke was “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day” for 23 September 2020.

The ADL says of Witzke:

Witzke ran a failed GOP campaign for Delaware’s senate seat in 2020. She is a white supremacist, former co-host of the antisemitic TruNews and current executive producer for The Stew Peters Show. Witzke brags that she is a “strong ally” of the Groypers Movement.
