Marvel's Astonishing Thunderbolts

Marvel's Astonishing Thunderbolts (or simply Astonishing Thunderbolts) is an American adult animated web television series and a spin-off to Iago PUC's version of Marvel's Spider-Man. Unlike other spin-offs and sister shows like Marvel's Ant-Girl (which air on Disney XD, Disney+ and Disney Channel), this show airs exclusively on Hulu due to its darker, more mature content and tone.
== Premise ==
The show focuses on the misadventures of the titular anti-hero team (consisting of Deadpool, Gwenpool, Domino, Cable, Punisher, Agent Venom, Hercules, and Red Hulk) as they work to become the most successful bounty hunter group ever employed. But they must also contend with high-ranking threats and supervillains like Mr. Sinister.

== Main Episodes ==
=== 01) “Initiation, Part 1: Pools' Party” ===
After spending two months in jail following a street fight which led to her getting exposed to super soldier chemicals, Gwen Poole is liberated from her one year sentence by her idol and crush Wade Wilson / Deadpool, who takes her in as his roommate and helps her get over the end of her relationship with her cheating boyfriend. Along the way, Gwen learns that she developed the same abilities of Deadpool and, inspired by him, works out to become "Gwenpool".
=== 02) “Initiation, Part 2: Bang” ===
Agent Venom is hired by S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury to pursue outlaw mercenary Frank Castle the Punisher and "lucky mutant" Domino when their heist on a A.I.M. facility inadvertently jeopardizes the mission of Yuri Watanabe's Task Force team. Unfortunately, their pursuit turns into a begrudging team-up when they find out that A.I.M. is enlisting assistance from Mister Negative to create a new Carnage symbiote.
=== 03) “Initiation, Part 3: Fight Club” ===
Looking for new opponents, Hercules journeys to the Vault to start a "tournament of champions" with the inmates selected to fight him one by one and prove their might to him, and with only Red Hulk proving to be a more effective opponent. Of course this proves to be a problem when Ares (attracted by the sense of aggression on the Raft) arrives to brainwash the inmates to become his own spawns, prompting Hercules to reluctantly team up with Red Hulk to stop him.
=== 04) “Initiation, Part 4: Here Comes The Thunder” ===
When a enigmatic cult led by Mister Sinister threatens to seize control over Washington DC, Cable (whose homeland was destroyed by Mister Negative in the Future) travels to the Present and enlists Deadpool, Gwenpool, Domino, Agent Venom, Punisher, Hercules and Red Hulk to aid him in ending the terrorists' schemes and save the future.
=== 05) “Operation: Thanos Copter Heist” ===
Under his suggestions that the Thunderbolts require a "action vehicle" (like the Fansti-Car for the Fantastic Four and the Avenjet for the Avengers), Hercules votes on stealing Thanos' Copter, which Agent Venom reluctantly agrees.
