OMSI brings Marvel to Portland

Through April 9, 2023, OMSI’s “Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes” exhibition will be open and there for all Marvel fans to see.

Even as someone who is not the biggest Marvel fan but still appreciates that universe, I enjoyed seeing the original suits of many of our favorite Marvel heroes and villains. A few favorites on hand were some that are displayed here: The Scarlet Witch, Spiderman (as worn by Tom Holland), Star-Lord and Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy, and Falcon, along with the famous Captain America’s iconic shield.

An additional item that is placed at the beginning of this maze of Marvel is a wall in memory of our dear Stan Lee, creator of the Marvel Universe. There are many more intriguing displays, including a full-room setup from the “WandaVision show,” and a full room dedicated to “Doctor Strange,” filled with mirrors and pieces from the movies.

All-in-all, this exhibit is fun and makes the already existing Marvel experience even better by allowing us to see the inner workings of their production and the behind-the-scenes aspects of many of our favorite Marvel heroes.
