Hasbro Marvel Infinite Series Daredevil Armored Review

Matt Murdoch a.k.a. the Daredevil lost his sight in a childhood accident involving an undisclosed radioactive substance that fell off a truck.

Hasbro’s Avengers Infinite Black Cat Review (3.75-inch)

Hasbro Marvel Avengers Infinite Sandman Action Figure Review

Please forget the character named Sandman in Spiderman 3, or really, forget all about Spiderman 3. It had the best jazz dance scene in any superhero movie, but it also had a jazz dance scene in a superhero movie.
