Iron Man Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

What's up everyone today on HeroTechBlog we’re going to look at the official:

Limited Edition Iron Man Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Now I have to say this phone is really something different, there aren't many of these in the world, and in fact it was a limited launch that started in Korea to begin with and only 1000 of these phones were being made available to consumers with the release number stamped on the back of the phone. The Iron Man Galaxy S6 Edge is more of a collector’s item than a regular every day phone (but it still can be used as an everyday phone). The design of the phone is inspired by Tony Stark's Iron Man suit. It has the same 5.1 inch quad HD dual edge display as the regular S6 Edge coupled with custom internals, 64 gigabytes of storage and a 16 megapixel camera. It is also outfitted with that Iron Man red body and gold accents which are pretty hot and when you pair that with the arc reactor wireless charger, that my friends is a winning combination. It also comes with a pair of headphones, a slick USB cable, a wall charger and some pointless paper and a fancy clear case so you don’t scratch the crap out of your fancy new phone should you decide to use it for everyday life.

I am a little mixed  about the giant Iron Man face smashed  right on the back, I kind of wish it was  a little smaller or actually did  something like have the eyes light up, now that would be all kinds of awesome. It comes sporting a custom Iron Man theme (a variant of the Iron Man theme already in the Samsung Theme Store) with sharp red and gold (instead of silver) and it effects the whole look of the phone right down to the icons such as the dialer, contacts, messages and even the app drawer. You also get a new sound pack and four wallpapers to choose from which is actually three because one is basically a giant ad letting you know that the Avengers is in theatres now. What I thought that might be the biggest shame of this phone is the fact that you don’t actually get Jarvis, you do however still get Google which compared to Siri is a clear second to Jarvis.

Joking aside, it really is a shame Samsung didn't make these more widely available especially with the insane reaction to the launch video, I think they could have killed it especially in the United States and Europe.

With such scarcity of this phone, it has been fetching obscene prices on eBay with one Chinese fan who paid an unbelievable ninety one thousand dollars for this phone, so get ready to shell out the big bucks if you want to purchase this phone. If you are lucky enough to find one on eBay most are going for a price of somewhere between twenty eight to forty five hundred dollars.

Well I hope you enjoyed this post. Tell us what you think in the comments below and I’ll see you in the next post.

Venom

Today on HeroTechBlog we'll explore a brief history of the most famous enemy of Spider-Man:

Venom

Venom is in fact an alien symbiote who requires bonding to a host to survive and its most famous host is Eddie Brock. As with all magazine characters there are typically re-imagined and totally different versions to a characters past, we've chosen to follow one plot that unfolded within the comic books. 

The symbiote in fact, first bonded to Spider-Man and not Eddie Brock after a battle where Spider-Man had damaged his costume. The symbiote bonded to him offering him a new stronger suit, however after Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four encouraged spider-man to research his costume further he learned that the suit was in fact a parasite attempting to bond physically and mentally to him. 

Spider-Man goes to a clock tower hoping the intense sound of the bells would destroy the symbiote freeing him from the costume however it is Spider-Man who succumbs to the noise first. It is then discovered that in its time bonded to Spider-Man the symbiote had learned human emotions and more importantly how to act on them. 

The symbiote sacrifices itself in order to save Spider-Man and slithers away weak and dying into the church below where it finds a suicidal man by the name of Eddie Brock to bond with who had his own ties to Spider-Man. Brock had been a respectable journalist living in New York when investigating a story involving the serial killer named Sin-Eater. Brock finds a man confessing to the crimes and after reporting it, it is discovered that Spider-Man had in fact caught the real Sin-Eater and the man Brock had found and accused turned out to be a compulsive confessor.

Humiliated and discredited for his mistake Brock's wife leaves him and he is fired from his job. Blaming everything on Spider-Man, Brock began a physical training regimen that put his body in peak form, this also help fuel his violent obsession with Spider-Man. Attracted by his great source of emotion and physical form the symbiote costume gave Brock the same abilities as Spider-Man and in many ways made him more powerful. After the symbiote costume divulges to Brock all the information it discovered about Spider-Man including his secret identity. Brock names himself as Venom claiming he is the poison to Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Paranoid that the costume would abandon him for Spider-Man given the chance, Venom vows to kill Spider-Man and his family. 

It is also worth mentioning that the Venom symbiote has an offspring Carnage, but we won’t talk about Carnage here as he will need his own post.
