Damage Control (Comic Book) | comment |
Damage Control is a comic (in both senses) series published in intermittent bursts by Marvel Comics. Created by Dwayne McDuffie, it offers a lighthearted look at the Marvel Universe through the lens of a company specializing in rebuilding areas devastated by superhero-supervillain throw-downs. When abandoned bits of Applied Phlebotinum are picked up, superweapons are accidentally activated, and super-villains won't pay their bills, it is all Played for Laughs.The core characters are: Ann-Marie Hoag: Founder, first director, and current owner. Robin Chapel: Former Traffic Manager, current CEO. Her highly competent and businesslike exterior hides a friendly interior. Romantically linked to John Porter. John Porter: Account Executive. Has the knack for finding creative and practical solutions to complicated problems. Had a rivalry with Robin at first, and is friends with the Wrecking Crew villain Thunderball. Albert Cleary: Comptroller. Albert appears perpetually cool and unflappable, no matter how intimidating the situation. Possesses the ability to never wrinkle his suit. Eugene "Gene" Strausser: Chief Technician and supervisor of Damage Control's salvaged super-gadgets. Briefly became an armored villain when he was fired by the new board of directors. Lenny Balinger: Chief Foreman and head of the Search-and-Rescue division. Has a gruff, no-nonsense attitude, and stands by his crew through thick and thin. Henry Ackerdson: Head of Marketing. His ideas tend toward the outlandish and gimmicky, barely tolerated by the rest of the staff. Bart Rozum: Robin's personal assistant, a very casual teen who's never seen without his baseball cap.Given the unusual situations they face, the regulars at Damage Control often need to be a bit... creative in how they resolve problems.In October 2015, it was announced that a television series based on the comic book was in development at ABC by Ben Karlin (Modern Family), as a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While it was initially intended to release in 2016 or 2017, the project was placed in Development Hell due to the network re-evaluating its commitment to creating Marvel television shows. Damage Control ultimately made their first official MCU appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming as a federal agency funded in part by Tony Stark, led by Hoag (portrayed by Tyne Daly).If you're looking for the trope of the same name, please go here. | |

It might have worked out if they hadn't then tried to stiff Damage Control on the bill, because surely they wouldn't dare try to collect from Doom in person... | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: After Walter Declun took over Damage Control, he decided to generate more business by giving mutant growth hormone to supervillains to increase their powers and cause more damage as a result. This indirectly led to the Stamford incident, which in turn led to the infamous Civil War (2006) story arc. Interestingly, only Wolverine saw this thread amidst the massive Conflict Ball rolling around the superhero community, and so he was the one to give Declun his comeuppance. | |
