Breaking news from USA TODAY!
While Paramount’s ambitious Hasbro Cinematic Universe is firmly taking shape with an awesome writers' room and movie plans for G.I. Joe, Micronauts, Visionaries, M.A.S.K. (meaning Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) and ROM: Space Knight, it looks like one of these properties will get a brand new comic ahead of its movie debut -- just like Micronauts! “This is a M.A.S.K. for the 21st century with a diverse team of specialists who are chosen for a top-secret program with a painful learning curve,” the writer says. “Ultimately, each participant will have to choose a side — and no matter which side they choose, the consequences will be great.” Not only will there be callbacks to the old animated series (for example, the original logo) and new modernized takes on classic M.A.S.K. vehicles, but there will be new spins on the characters, such as Matt Trakker, who’ll be a cross between Elon Musk and Idris Elba (see? Idris Elba for everything). Easton calls him “an engineering genius and intellectual bad boy who has been in search of stability since the loss of his father at an early age.” Having had a troubled adolescence, as an adult “he's given one last chance at redemption: going through the M.A.S.K. boot camp.” As for the villain, Miles “Mayhem” Manheim will no longer be a bumbling Big Bad but a master manipulator and brilliant strategist, as well as a control freak; and V.E.N.O.M. (Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem) “will be a true force. They don't lose often, nor do they accept defeat with grace,” with Easton promising that both Manheim and his group will be much deadlier. Manheim will also be Trakker’s role model before our hero discovers his mentor wants to rule the world and all that. “It provides the catalyst for Matt to stop searching for a ‘role model’ and figure out what it means to follow his own heart and soul.” Yeah, that can definitely put a huge spanner in any sort of father-son type of relationship.

I hope this means that they are going to do a separate M.A.S.K movie with gi Joe Easter eggs in it before they mesh everything together. I know, wishful thinking and I'm probably looking to deep into it.

They did a MacGyver comic a few years ago but somehow nothing more ever came of it. Not even a NECA MacGyver figure.

Can't have heroes who aren't troubled bad boys. "Hey, we watched the Star Trek reboot. Let's do that...with transforming vehicles."
