About this listen

Actor and comedian Colin Hoult is working his way through every Marvel character on the Marvel Unlimited app, discussing them with his friends Dan, Nick and Jamie who know absolutely nothing about comics and are slightly concerned about Colin’s dedication to the task.


Abomb to Zzzax is a Marvel comedy podcast exploring and ranking characters from A to Z across the Marvel Comics universe, from household names like Spider-Man to obscure deep cuts like Zzzax. Along the way Colin explains the origins, powers and strangest moments in Marvel history while his friends attempt to make sense of the world of comic books.

  • Who are the villains of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY?

    BOOMERANG, SCORPION, TARANTULA, TOMBSTONE


    We've got an incoming MCU film on the horizon so Colin and Nick are taking a look at the villains of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY and asking the important questions:- what is Scorpion's tail supposed to be? Why does Boomerang's original suit not have any boomerangs on it? And is Tarantula's power just having really really pointy shoes?


    (NB - We'll be taking a little break over Easter and will be back in April with new episodes!)

  • Why does BATROC get a brigade?
    Mar 20 2026

    BATROC, WHIRLWIND, LIVING LASER, ZARAN, MACHETE


    Bonjour, mes amis! Join your jovial hosts Colin and Nick as they take a look at one of the few Marvel characters who has his own brigade - yes, it's the probably racially-insensitively named Batroc The Leaper (a man skilled in the noble French art of feet boxing). Who are the rest of his brigade? Are they supervillains to be taken seriously? And are any of them actually any good? These questions and fewer might be answered in this week's episode....
