The Master of the World is another Marvel Comics villain, and one who's actually forty-thousand years of age. One can only wonder how he's managed to keep himself entertained for so long, but given how he's a villain, it's likely he's never seen a shortage of schemes in his lifetime.
Starting out life as an exiled caveman called Eshu, the Master is abducted by an alien race and experimented on for thousands of years afterwards - often in excruciating ways. Eventually, he attains a level of intelligence that allows him to betray his captors and embark on his own conquest - one that eventually leads him back to Earth, and into conflict with the Avengers.
As far as his powers go, the Master has pretty much everything you'd wish for in an immortal. He's super-strong, super-speedy and his suit augments his abilities too, allowing him to keep on kicking even with four-thousand centuries already under his belt.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
