	Defenders (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Two members of the Defenders, the Hulk and Namor the Sub-Mariner, appeared in two cross-over story arcs prior to the official founding of the team.
		The Defenders first appeared as a team in Marvel Feature #1 (December, 1971), where the founding members gathered to battle the alien techno-wizard Yandroth and decided to remain as a team.
		The best-known and most prominent members of the Defenders are Doctor Strange, the Hulk, Namor the Sub-Mariner, the Silver Surfer, Nighthawk, Valkyrie, and Hellcat.

		In law, collective term for the defendant (the person accused of having committed a crime or wrong) and his or her legal advisors and representatives.

	:::► Dictionary of Meaning www.mauspfeil.net ◄:::
		All incarnations are essentially based on the DC Comics character Batman (although Nighthawk II strayed considerably from that template).
		After the Defenders (comics) Defenders defeated the Over-Mind and freed the Squadron and their world, the Squadron began the Utopia Program, intending to become the leaders of the reconstructed Earth.
		Among these were the Earth-616 version of Kyle Richmond, an egotistical and wealthy playboy who, unlike comics' archetype archetypical playboy Batman, frequently drank and womanized whose father had to pay hush money to protect his son's name after a drunk-driving accident that injured a woman.

	Defenders - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		In the late 1960s and early 1970s, there appeared a number of comics that could only be called "quirky." They didn't fit into any particular genre, and there was a genuine confusion as to why they existed in the first place.
		Marvel Comics, by comparison, was publishing books by the bushelfull; they had escaped from their restrictive distribution agreement of the 1960s and the liberalization of the Comics Code resulted in the Marvel's '70s explosion.
		Defenders managed to remain an underground fan favorite for many years, eventually ending it's run with a very respectable 152 issues.

	Printer Friendly: Defenders #9 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		With the big guns of the Defenders off in space, we see the second-stringers are left to deal with the latest threat to the Earth, which amazingly enough turns out the Headmen, who have managed to awaken a highly powerful creature, that thanks to the possession of an ancient artifact, the Headmen control.
		I've seen the world taken over countless times in comics, but this is one of the rare times when the heroes left untouched have been so ill-suited to the role of saving the Earth from it's conquerors.
		The action is dynamically rendered, as the scenes of the Defenders battling their way through the swarm of A.I.M. goons are visually exciting, but their later encounter with the giant, reality-altering monster is this issue's highlight.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Defenders
		The Defenders was a loosely-knit federation of Marvel superheroes that made a schtick of bringing together characters who seem unlikely to work together.
		The Defenders premiered in the first issue of Marvel Feature (December, 1971), a try-out title along the lines of DC's Showcase.
		It was during Kraft's tenure that the public became aware of The Defenders' existence, via an unauthorized TV documentary; and the group was suddenly inundated by minor superheroes claiming membership.

		This is the premise behind Marvel's new four-issue "Defenders" mini-series by the acclaimed creators of DC's "Formerly Known as the Justice League" mini-series: Keith Giffen, J. Marc DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire.
		The Defenders are some of Marvel's most powerful characters and Giffen and DeMatteis have crafted a story where they are pushed to their limits.
		A lot of people seem to think that Giffen hates and resents DC Comics and "Identity Crisis" because of the death of Sue Dibny, who was a prominent character in his "Justice League" stories from the 1980s.

	Printer Friendly: The Essential Defenders Vol. 1 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		The Defenders are known as comics’ first “non-team.” Their membership includes the most powerful beings in Marvel comics.
		The Defenders protect the Earth from Dormammu, Loki, nameless evil gods, the Celestial Man, the Squadron Sinister, a computer able to blow up the world, Attuma’s armies, evil wizards, and a hairy alien called Xemnu.
		Reading these comics, I could see similarities to The Authority; the attitudes, the high stakes battles, the arrogance, and the conscious desire not to be like other teams.

		Working on a book like Defenders, where we’re spinning a new direction for old, established characters, finding the right tone for each character is a little more difficult.
		As for the themes in Defenders: Sometimes you set off on a creative journey with a specific theme in mind, sometimes not.
		In the case of Defenders, I’m not thinking about themes, and I don’t think Keith is either.

		At any rate, the Defenders pop into view, and after Hellcat and Nighthawk brief them on what happened, we get the usual bickering among the four loners.
		Meanwhile, each of the Headmen are abusing their newfound authority in their own special way, such as Jerrold Morgan shrinking all his high school bullies and feeding them to miniature dinosaurs.
		Anyway, I am beginning to think the Defenders title is more of a funnybook than the usual team book, say the Avengers for example.

		Comics, comics coverage, hip hop, jazz, puppies--there's really no focus here.

		I remember reading a handful of Defenders comics when I was younger, but I never actively followed the series the way I followed Amazing Spider-Man (or Spectacular or Marvel Team-Up or any of the other Spidey spin-offs).

		Throughout the comics we find out that the stories work because the group is made up of anti-social malcontents who have no interest team spirit.
		These comics are firmly entrenched in the âMarvel house styleâ of the time with its grimacing heroes and explosions of verbiage.
		It all depends on your personal tolerance for such a style (Iâm the kind thatâs quite enamored with it) but the comics here are of a much better example of that style than most other comics of the time.

		For a little while there -- two years; maybe a little less than that -- Marvel Comics' THE DEFENDERS was the single best super-hero team title being published...
		An increasingly disgruntled Luke, in fact, even took to lecturing super-villains as to the gross lack of consideration inherent in their "forcing" him to donate his talents and energies on the behalf of others, pro bono.
		In DEFENDERS #22 through #25 -- routinely referred to, in hushed, reverent tones, as "The Serpent saga" -- Marvel's cantankerous and squabbling "non-team" find themselves standing athwart the ultra-racist mechanations of the spandexed supremacist organization known as The Sons of the Serpent.
