Rock Hudson (born Roy Harold Scherer Jr.; November 17, 1925 – October 2, 1985) was an American actor. One of the most popular movie stars of his time, he had a screen career spanning more than three decades. A prominent heartthrob in the Golden Age of Hollywood, he achieved stardom with his role in Magnificent Obsession (1954), followed by All That Heaven Allows (1955), and Giant (1956), for which he received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Hudson also found continued success with a string of romantic comedies co-starring Doris Day: Pillow Talk (1959), Lover Come Back (1961), and Send Me No Flowers (1964). During the late 1960s, his films included Seconds (1966), Tobruk (1967), and Ice Station Zebra (1968). Unhappy with the film scripts he was offered, Hudson turned to television and was a hit, starring in the popular mystery series McMillan & Wife (1971–1977). His last role was as a guest star on the fifth season (1984–1985) of the primetime ABC soap opera Dynasty, until AIDS-related illness made it impossible for him to continue. Although discreet regarding his sexual orientation, it was a known fact amongst Hudson's colleagues in the film industry that he was a gay man. In 1984, Hudson was diagnosed with AIDS. The following year, he became one of the first celebrities to disclose his AIDS diagnosis. Hudson was the first major celebrity to die from an AIDS-related illness, on October 2, 1985, at age 59.

Set in a stylized 1960s New York, this reimagined Marvel Universe introduces a young, brilliant, and socially awkward Peter Parker as he becomes Spider-Man after a scientific accident changes his life forever. As Peter struggles to balance responsibility, guilt, and heroism, powerful and psychologically complex villains emerge, led by industrialist Norman Osborn, whose transformation into the Green Goblin threatens the city from the shadows. At the same time, New York becomes a battleground for darker heroes: Daredevil wages a secret war against crime in Hell’s Kitchen, the Punisher delivers brutal street justice, and criminal masterminds like Kingpin manipulate the city from behind the scenes. As science, crime, and tragedy collide, heroes and anti-heroes cross paths, setting the foundation for an interconnected Marvel Universe decades ahead of its time.
