Another great episode; I assume you're going to show them the updated Nomad look from the 90s, where he looks like he's auditioning for a Winger video. I haven't read many of those stories, but I guess you could say he was kind of a dick at that time (and he did carry a sawn-off shotgun everywhere he went), but Nicieza also tried to put some depth into the stories, with topical stuff like drugs and AIDS. I liked the discussion about Galactus's eating habits; didn't he eventually devour the Skrull Homeworld and throw their empire into chaos?

Although considering this version of Nimrod was taken in by a working class Latino family and got along with them as a dockworker, part of me wants to see a "Marvel Voices" story featuring him. Show how the Rodriguez family ultimately influenced the Ultimate Hunter's turn into a crimefighter.
