Savage Avengers is a comic book series launched in April 2019 as part of the Marvel: A Fresh Start initiative, written by Gerry Duggan with Mike Deodato Jr. on art.After finding himself transported to the modern day, Conan the Barbarian finds himself allied with a ragtag band of... very violent people, who unite to stop the sorcerer Kulan Gath. The team initially consists of: Conan the Barbarian (Conan of Cimmeria) — Barbarian adventurer from the Hyborian Age, destined to become King Conan of Aquilonia. Doctor Voodoo (Jericho Drumm) — Master of the voodoo arts, Houngan Supreme and ally of Doctor Strange. Elektra (Elektra Natchios) — Former assassin of the Hand, current assassin for hire and sometimes ally of Daredevil. The Punisher (Frank Castle) — Soldier-turned-vigilante who kills criminals after the death of his family. Venom (Eddie Brock) — Former Spider-Man villain turned anti-hero, bonded to an alien symbiote. Wolverine (James "Logan" Howlett) — Canadian mutant stabby man.The team is darker and more prone to violence and killing than other Avengers teams, and is marketed as such. The series sees Conan regularly interacting with the wider Marvel Universe since Marvel regained his publishing rights in January, 2019 and the Avengers: No Road Home miniseries.The series ran for 29 issues.A new Savage Avengers series began in May 2022, with a new line-up, albeit still joined by Conan.For a similar title released oddly close to this one, see Strikeforce.

Honor Among Thieves
 Savage Avengers (Comic Book) / int_128e9efd
comment
Honor Among Thieves: When Night Flyer reveals his big adventure for Conan and Deadpool is...looting an abandoned Hellfire Club mansion. Conan gets very suspicious and asks why they're needed for such an easy outing. Nightflyer gets where Conan is coming from and explains. There's too much money for one person to carry and he owes them both for getting him out of Ryker's. Plus if he gets them a big score now, they'd perhaps consider working with him again in the future (Night Flyer ain't much of a fighter, having a pair of wily enforcers will go a long way in keeping this version alive).

While this includes the original cast and Doctor Strange, it also includes characters who have only made brief appearances, such as Black Widow, Daimon Hellstrom and Magik.

Dane Whitman is revealed to be so suffused by the Ebony Blade's power that he can become the Bloodwraith even when not wielding it.

Darker and Edgier: Compared to Volume 1. Volume 1 had numerous bits of banter and even whole issues dedicated to levity. The story of Volume 2 meanwhile is less joke-heavy and much more linear, more emphasis put on the threats Deathlok, Thulsa Doom and later Ultron all pose to the heroes.

comment
Slave Liberation: The Black Knight was found beating up a bunch of KKK members, when Conan's squad teleports in. Conan requests Whitman's aid and throws the Black Knight a bag of jewels. Whitman is actually insulted and says he only fights for those oppressed by tyranny. Magik hands him a photo of who they're taking on (the photo is actually of Sadurang who had conquered a city and oppresses its inhabitants). A dismayed Black Knight quickly joins the team. So the team now has both heavy hitters from the Punisher Kill Krew. With Wolverine and Punisher fighting the cultists, the rest of Black Widow's team free the girls who were enslaved into making the drugs then Elektra tells the women to help themselves to all the money in the cult's mansion as reparations..

Always Someone Better

Always Someone Better: With the expanded roster debriefing on the moon, Dr. Strange mentions that Kulan Gath is far and away the most powerful sorcerer on Earth and that the last time he had a major fight with Gath, it took him and a combined force of Avengers and X-Men teams to defeat him, with only a few people involved retaining memory of that time. Now Gath's even more powerful. Black Widow is disturbed as she thought the "Sorcerer Supreme" is the mightiest, before Stephen explains to her about Gath's route to power.

The Brute: Before Cain Marko joins, the Savage Avengers are a Dream Team... when it comes to sorcery and combat skill. But when their mightiest (one-time) member was Venom followed by peak human (or better) Wolverine and Conan, kid teams like Champions (2019) and Runaways have more muscle. Enter the Juggernaut, with him on the payroll the team has one of the most elite Class 100 powerhouses in Marvel.

The symbiote tells Conan that Kulan Gath had tortured it for a century and tells him to bond with it once more to seek revenge against the evil sorcerer, threatening to kill him if he refuses.

Fire-Forged Friends: Conan and Wolverine start out trying to kill each other but eventually come to respect each other after fighting Kulan Gath. The same can be said of Conan and Frank, on their road trip back to America, with Conan consoling Frank regarding his family. Conan is also getting that way with Deadpool in their arc for King in Black and Venom rather likes Conan and was glad to see him in Mexico during the Empyre event. Eventually the entire team becomes one, to the point of gladly having their victory feast at Dr. Doom's and Conan proudly toasting everyone there (including the wizards) as some of the most savage blades he's ever had the honor of standing with.

Blood Magic
 Savage Avengers (Comic Book) / int_270c1778
comment
Blood Magic: Kulan Gath needs the blood of people soaked in death to perform his summoning ritual, and is happy with the Savage Avengers turnout given their histories. Wolverine in particular is a nice bonus for him, having a healing factor and all. Doctor Strange uses a spell on some of Kulan's blood to astral project through his history. This apparently carries the danger of getting lost in the past permanently, so he has Elektra remain close to pull him back into the real world, if need be.

The Dreaded: Kulan Gath is so terrible a foe that the Avengers and the X-Men, both at this time were in testy relations, gladly joined forces with the Savage Avengers. Meanwhile each member of the Savage Avengers are The Dreaded in their own right, so a team of these elite killers, villains and top sorcerers are something no super-villain wants to take on - including Shuma-Gorath.

The above examples are the ones that stay with the team, other characters who've teamed up with Conan but never joined include the Marauders, Deadpool, Night Flyer and the Rhino.

However, Kang the Conqueror implies Conan turning Past!Kulan into a warrior instead of killing him as a child is only delaying his inevitable development into a villain. Plus, defeating Gath involved a Batman Gambit that restores Shuma-Gorath to its full power, meaning Strange had to trade one villain for another.

Strange gives background on modern encounters with Gath, Voodoo explains to newcomers that Gath gets power from cannibalism, Elektra mentions the murder and consumption of the Hand leader and an Egyptian Cult. Black Widow mentions that Gath's cronies are decapitating South American cartel members and is puzzled. Voodoo believes it somehow involves Gath's boast he'd consume Shuma Gorath. Conan has a tale that gives context to the Widow's and Voodoo's input and then the team is given their particular assignments.

Advertised Extra: Venom does very, very little in the series proper. While there is a prominent symbiote for Conan and another symbiote antagonist, Venom barely has anything to do and has very little panel time. He's likely just on the promotional material and covers due to the popularity of the character and the concurrently running Venom (Donny Cates) run. It's to the point that he doesn't even appear past that first arc.

The Big Guy
 Savage Avengers (Comic Book) / int_500ecfb7
comment
The Big Guy: Because the team is rarely fully assembled, they usually only have one on hand, but there are a few members who serve as heavy hitters. Venom served this purpose on the original line-up, albeit briefly. However, he only worked with them once, before his own problems prevented him from being on the team. Magik served as the second Big Guy. When a team is sent to retrieve a third Eye of Agamotto from Sadurang, most of the team is ineffectual besides her. Juggernaut is recruited later on and is the most visually obvious example, and absolutely wrecks house on his missions.

Body Horror
 Savage Avengers (Comic Book) / int_504a1991
comment
Body Horror: There's quite a few instances in this Marvel foray into Dark Fantasy, but perhaps what takes the cake was actually done for laughs. When Conan and Deadpool are held up in Ryker's prison, Deadpool pickpocketed a guard but got the guard's house keys. So Conan comes up with his own plan...which was to shove Deadpool through the tight bars. The result ripped and crushed Deadpool's body so badly that his ribs and intestines were hanging out, leading the hardened cons of the prison to gape in horror, with one puking up. Kulan Gath gets one when Magik stabs him with a dagger tainted with Shuma Gorath's flesh and blood. This enables the god to resurrect inside Kulan and tentacles rip through the wizard as he's being devoured body and soul by Shuma.

Let's Split Up, Gang!: With the roster expanded, Stephen tells the team that they'll need to split up. One team will barter or steal the 2nd Amulet of Agamotto from Sadurang, an Asgardian dragon (leaving it alive is preferred but not necessary) and the other will defend the planet against Gath's earthly forces while Dr. Strange works with Shuma-Gorath.

Came Back Strong: The Sickle Priest that got fed into a woodchipper and burnt in hellfire, Kulan Gath revived those ashes and gave Johan Richter new powers. Johan did come out a bit misshapen in the process. Shuma Gorath not only gets resurrected with all his power back, he also gets to slowly digest Kulan Gath and add the godlike wizard's power to his own.

And the Adventure Continues: Due to Marvel deciding not to renew the rights to Conan, #5 serves as his send-off by having him willingly stay behind in the Hyborean Age to get the rest of the team back home. This is followed by a montage of Conan's future adventures in his native time period ending with him on his throne as King of Aquilonia surrounded by his family...with the logo of the Avengers emblazoned on the walls of his throne room.

Godzilla Threshold: Against Gath, there's no such thing as too much firepower. Doctor Strange and Elektra had been busy recruiting more members like Black Widow, Magik and Daimon Helstrom. The expanded roster is barely enough and when Black Widow suggests bringing on the Punisher on account of the drug-dealing angle, Strange approves with the caveat they keep him on a short leash to prevent too much human blood being spilled. At the Sanctum, Dr. Strange sends Widow and Hellstrom to recruit Frank and gather even more members and material for the teams - the preview of the next issue has the Punisher Kill Krew getting involved. The Savage Avengers fail...alongside their allies the mainline Avengers and the X-Men. The only ones still alive are a one-eyed Conan and a crucified Dr. Strange, so the new plan is enlist the aid of the evil Kang the Conqueror.

Face Your Fears: During his encounter with Johnny Blaze, Conan has a run-in with Nightmare, and the reader is shown what Conan The Barbarian fears the most - dying of old age in bed, too weak to even hold his sword anymore. Nightmare lampshades that this kind of death is what most people would consider the best outcome they could hope for, but for a proud warrior like Conan, it's the last thing he wants. Nightmare also knows what Kulan Gath himself is most afraid of - he's afraid of Conan, even if he doesn't want to admit it.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 Savage Avengers (Comic Book) / int_7d89315b
comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: During their little fight, Spider-Man gives Conan the "With great power comes great responsibility" spiel. Conan scoffs and thinks Peter is pathetic, telling that "With great power comes great reward...", that it's the strong who prosper while the weak rightfully fall. But Spider-Man is a great fool who volunteers to uses his powers to benefit the corrupt rulers of New York as they trample everyone else. Spider-Man can only ineffectually say that Conan has him mischaracterized. It's less about protecting the innocent (which Conan will also do on occasion) and more about Spider-Man's insistence on protecting EVERYONE, no matter how little they deserve it.

They fail, but manage to vanquish it nevertheless — though it marks them with a curse before dying. Shuma-Gorath of the Many-Angled Ones pops up, with Kulan Gath treating it as cosmic calamari in order to assimilate its power and become a god himself.

Token Good Teammate: Not that the cast is evil, but Voodoo is definitely the most moral of the main cast and is less prone to stabbing or shooting his problems away. Notably, he's one of the guys who isn't there because Kulan Gath needs a murderer to sacrifice. Strange fills this role among the team-up with him and Doom and Conan. He wants to save the people who have been possessed and asks the two to not kill, which they ignore. And after the victory against Kulan Gath, it was Strange that dissented against the plan to go back in time and murder Gath when the guy was merely an abused slave.

Took a Level in Badass: When he first came to the modern age, Conan had no idea how to use a gun and if he got his hands on one - he'd use it as a club. Some time before the King in Black event, he learnt how to use one. After the jail break with Deadpool and Night Flyer, the three of them went to the confiscated weapons locker. While the other two got their old gear back, Conan was unarmed when he went to Rykers. So he helps himself to a machete and a sawed-off shotgun, which he uses against a symbiote dragon. The next issue, Conan gets another level up when he agrees to bond temporarily with the symbiote dragon. It then becomes a Morph Weapon that's linked psychically and physically with him.

Continuity Nod
 Savage Avengers (Comic Book) / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Continuity Nod: Kulan Gath is using the Third Eye of Agamotto in his ritual which Stephen corroborates as well as the second eye being in the possession of a dragon. This dragon was seen boasting of the second eye in Tony Stark: Iron Man in its War of the Realms tie-in. The "combined force of Avengers and X-Men" Dr. Strange mentions in issue #13 is a reference to a 1985 storyline in Uncanny X-Men, which also featured a resurrected Kulan Gath as the villain. Kulan Gath had captured a symbiote to lure Venom into his trap, evidently remembering the antihero from their encounter in the Spider-Man/Red Sonja crossover. When the unnamed symbiote bonds to Conan, it manifests a Necrosword to help him slay the eldritch god Jhoatun Lau. Malekith and Eddie Brock would use the Venom symbiote to manifest Necroswords during the War of the Realms and Absolute Carnage respectively. When Venom appears towards the end of the first arc, exposure to Jhoatun Lau's cosmic energy has transformed the symbiote into a draconic form in what was intended as a nod to Venom (Donny Cates) — though Venom's dragon form looks nothing like those of the other symbiote dragons. When Kulan Gath injures Doctor Strange, Doom calls in some equipment to help him. Strange is encased in some armour that heals him, and it's revealed to be Doom's Infamous Iron Man suit. When Juggernaut and Magik meet up, Cain is still pissed off at Illyana for the events at the end of Uncanny X-Men (2018), where she lost control of her powers, ripped out the Gem of Cyttorak and sent him to Limbo. Magik decides against killing Sadurang, since one of her best friends is a dragon, referring to Lockheed. Conan eventually wanders off in New York while they wait for Kulan Gath to make his play, ending up at the Bar With No Name, the popular villain bar featured in Spider-Man's comics.

Everyone Has Standards
 Savage Avengers (Comic Book) / int_b4a6ae4c
comment
Everyone Has Standards: The rest of the team including hard-asses like Magik, Wolverine and Elektra, are disturbed to hear how nonchalant Conan was at just having killed a possessed prostitute (he beat her to death with the prosthetic leg belonging to one of the other women) and then went back to having sex with the survivors. Black Widow was so troubled that she was still stuck on that when the others returned to the problems at hand. Conan visits a brothel during his time in Brazil, only to discover that the women are not there willingly, and ends up slaughtering the slavers before setting the workers free. Conan is perfectly fine with prostitution, but sexual slavery is another thing entirely.

Anti-Hero Team: The team is filled with people who have zero problem killing and who were lured together by Kulan Gath specifically because they're bathed in death. The team even adds two major supervillains to its roster with Dr. Doom and Kang joining the team and no one judges.

Home Base: Conan gets one for himself during the King in Black arc.

Conan didn't want any...he really likes the Hellfire Club mansion and its liquor collection, so he claimed it as his prize. Wolverine admired Conan's ballsiness and agreed.

comment
Cannibalism Superpower: In issue 0, Doctor Strange tells Magik that Kulan Gath has grown stronger since their last encounter with him. He says this is from him cannibalizing other mages, including some previous Sorceror Supremes. Strange finds out that this is how he's always increased his power, starting after being expelled by his teacher for demanding more power and literally getting a taste of it from a drop of blood from their fight. Strange gives Conan a special mission: Strange needs a major boost in power to deal with Gath's new plan, so if Conan can cut off a piece of Gath, he's to give it to Stephen as a munchie. (Un)fortunately, Conan doesn't get the chance.

comment
Too Powerful to Live: At the victory feast, Dr. Doom and Kang decide that Kulan Gath is so powerful and cunning that he may even escape his current demise. So Kang and Conan go back in time to deal with Gath when he was just a child slave. Rather than kill Gath, Coan instead kills the sorceror who bought him as a slave, then offers to train him in the ways of the sword rather than leave him to be corrupted by magic again. Gath accepts, and the two remain together until the boy is strong enough to fend for himself.

He quickly took the opportunity to upgrade from that by taking a machete from a slain food vendor.

Both are very pleased with the experience though neither thinks it's likely they will have any further encounters as their odds of surviving the fight against Gath are really bad. They also both agree they were just blowing off steam and don't want a serious relationship.

Series Continuity Error
 Savage Avengers (Comic Book) / int_ca95473c
comment
Series Continuity Error: The first arc was published at the time when Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote had parted ways, with the implication being that the Venom who appeared to help fight Jhoatun Lau was the hostless symbiote. However, the tie-in for Empyre has Eddie Brock — who is missing the beard he sports after the first arc of Venom (Donny Cates) — ask Conan if he remembers him from that fight; which leaves where the first Savage Avengers arc fits in to the timeline something of a mystery since at the time Eddie was preoccupied with looking after his son Dylan and didn't have the symbiote — and after that, was immediately swept up into the events of Absolute Carnage.

Does Not Like Magic
 Savage Avengers (Comic Book) / int_d4b013c1
comment
Does Not Like Magic: A recurring joke throughout the series is Conan's, per usual, disdain for magic. He takes an immediate disliking to Doctor Strange, though he does express fondness for Doctor Doom, due to Doom's more warrior-like apparel and more boisterous attitude when fighting. Similarly, and ironically, he doesn't hold anything against Magik either, probably for the same reasons - and he's grudgingly impressed by Strange when he sees the critically wounded Sorcerer armor up with Doom's Iron Man suit, and refuse pain medication and any weapons, relying on it solely for defense and life support.

Curbstomp Battle: Black Widow's team massacres Kulan Gath's earthly forces. The team just sends out Wolverine and the Punisher to easily wreck 'em, while Natasha, Elektra and Hellstrom go after the high priest. The cult did manage to shred Wolverine's costume while the nearly immortal high priest managed to stab Hellstrom in the chest with a sickle (which barely did anything to the hellspawn sorcerer). Kulan Gath fights the Avengers, the X-Men and the Savage Avengers at the same time. He easily slaughters them all leading to a Bad Future.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Doctor Doom of all people is this to Conan when the latter escapes the simulated city he'd been placed in. He's downright hospitable to Conan even after the barbarian insults him to his face and doesn't take much convincing to work with him and Strange against Kulan Gath. Bishop is leading the small group of Marauders and after a fight with Conan's group, he doesn't hold a grudge and hires them for the rescue attempt of Cyclops and Storm. Even after they fail, he still pays Deadpool and Night Flyer a small fortune and Conan ends up with a mansion to squat in.

Drugs Are Bad: During the debrief on the moon, Conan mentions his experience with a couple of prostitutes. He likes his booze but doesn't approve of some the girls' vice with narcotics, likening it to slavery with no collar. He calling it the "cursed poppy" was more right than he realized, the girl doing a line then turned into a Shuma-Gorath monster which he had to kill. Turns out Kulan Gath has been getting drug dealers murdered and having their stashes tainted with Shuma-Gorath bits, this angle lets the Savage Avengers bring back the Punisher to the team.

Whole-Plot Reference
 Savage Avengers (Comic Book) / int_e303d198
comment
Conan declines the deal with the symbiote and is unimpressed with the symbiote's threats. The symbiote then reveals its history on Earth. It had been put in a glass bottle and put on the market as a djinn for sale. Its only moment of kindness on Earth, was when that era's Sorcerer Supreme bought and freed him, with the symbiote staying on as a guest and cultural exchange student...only to have Kulan Gath invade and murder the wizard. Kulan Gath tried eating the symbiote and when that didn't work, he took to torturing it for fun for millenniums and not the century that he previously mentioned. Now the symbiote is old and broken. Conan is touched by the tale and agrees to join with the symbiote, until they finally kill Kulan Gath. This feels like a near-Whole-Plot Reference to "The Tower of the Elephant".

Not a chance, the possessed X-Men are too hostile and powerful to take alive and it's only through some quick thinking by Conan and Iceman's powers that they're able to escape with their lives (Deadpool was temporarily reduced to a stump). All they could do is return to the Hellfire Club mansion and lick their wounds over some fine whiskey. The united forces of the Avengers, X-Men and several other heroes against Kulan Gath goes terribly and ushers in a Bad Future that only Kang the Conqueror can deal with.

Go-Karting with Bowser: Since he doesn't have a grudge against most modern-day villains, Conan doesn't mind hanging out at the Bar with No Name with several lesser-known villains, and the Juggernaut.

Pet the Dog: Conan declines the deal with the symbiote and is unimpressed with the symbiote's threats. The symbiote then reveals its history on Earth. It had been put in a glass bottle and put on the market as a djinn for sale. Its only moment of kindness on Earth, was when that era's Sorcerer Supreme bought and freed him, with the symbiote staying on as a guest and cultural exchange student...only to have Kulan Gath invade and murder the wizard. Kulan Gath tried eating the symbiote and when that didn't work, he took to torturing it for fun for millenniums and not the century that he previously mentioned. Now the symbiote is old and broken. Conan is touched by the tale and agrees to join with the symbiote, until they finally kill Kulan Gath. This feels like a near-Whole-Plot Reference to "The Tower of the Elephant". When the choice comes down to killing Kulan Gath as a child to prevent his reign or leave him be and potentially have him re-surface, Conan decides to Take a Third Option: He (with Kang's help) frees Kulan from slavery early into his life and becomes The Mentor to the boy in exchange for the promise that he'll never touch magic as long as he lives. The Sorcerer Supreme of the time puts the new warrior Kulan to a test and is satisfied. Kang however isn't and thinks Conan's merely delaying the inevitable.
