Marvel is a pop culture phenomenon, from comics to TV to cinema, it has managed to take the world by storm across decades.
So, we at Zero Hanger thought why not bring the Marvel universe to the AFL, by having a go at comparing every club to a character from the live-action movies and tv shows.
Also, spoilers are included below, so be mindful!
Hawthorn
One of the 'Big 5' AFL clubs and one of, if not, the biggest names in Marvel history, Hawthorn and Spider-Man.

The Hawks, like Spidey, have had many reboots.
Late 70s, late 80s and the 2013-15 three-peat successes from Hawthorn, while Spider-Man has had the Raimi Trilogy (Tobey Maguire), the two Amazing Spider-Man films (Andrew Garfield) and the MCU trilogy (Tom Holland).
LOL….
port – one of the “oldest clubs in the afl”……
No – the filth in the afl (“PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB (A.F.L.) LIMITED”) was formed and incorporated in 1995. There is a club that is now (port adelaide “magpies” of which the ‘wobbles are a poor copy) which is now owned by port (afl) that was formed in the previous century (1870).
