Steven James Anderson, formerly Steven James Williams, better known by his ring name "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, is an American film and television actor and retired professional wrestler currently signed to WWE. Austin wrestled for several well-known wrestling promotions such as World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and most famously, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which later became World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2002. Billed as "The Most Popular Superstar in WWE History", he gained significant mainstream popularity in the WWF during the mid-to-late 1990s as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, a disrespectful, beer-drinking antihero who routinely defied his boss, Vince McMahon. This defiance was often shown by Austin flipping off McMahon and incapacitating him with the Stone Cold Stunner, his finishing move. McMahon inducted Austin into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2009. Austin held nineteen championships throughout his professional wrestling career, and is recognized by WWE as a six-time world champion, having held the WWF Championship on six occasions, and the fifth Triple Crown Champion. He was also the winner of the 1996 King of the Ring tournament, as well as the 1997, 1998 and 2001 Royal Rumbles. He was forced to retire from in ring competition in early 2003 due to a series of knee and neck injuries sustained throughout his career. Throughout the rest of 2003 and 2004, he was featured as the Co-General Manager and "Sheriff" of Raw. Since 2005, he has continued to make occasional appearances. In 2011, Steve Austin returned to WWE to host the reality series Tough Enough. On August 14, 2002, Austin was arrested and charged with domestic abuse. He pleaded no contest on November 25, 2002, and was given a year's probation, a $1,000 fine, and ordered to carry out 80 hours of community service.] Marshall told Fox News that Austin beat her three times and that the 2002 incident was the result of roid rage. She also stated that WWE knew of the abuse, working to conceal the bruises on her face, and kept her from revealing that Austin hit her, as it would cost the company millions of dollars. During his early years as a wrestler, Austin was a technical wrestler. However, after his neck injury against Owen Hart in 1997, he changed his style from technical to brawler. His most famous finishing move is the Stone Cold Stunner, or simply Stunner. During his time as The Ringmaster he used the Million Dollar Dream as finisher, since it was Ted DiBiase's finisher. During his time in WCW, Austin used the Stun Gun as finisher One of Austin's taunts during the Attitude Era was to show the middle finger. In August 2001, Austin cut a promo, debuting his catchphrase "What?", which is used today by fans when they want to mock wrestlers during promos
When the hell-lord Mephisto breaks an ancient seal to resurrect Lilith, the Mother of Demons, her monstrous brood, the Lilin, begin a supernatural siege that traditional heroes cannot withstand. Realizing the Avengers are outmatched against this occult terror, Doctor Stephen Strange turns to the forbidden "Tarot Deck of Destiny" to assemble the "Midnight Sons," a volatile alliance of the damned and the dark. Strange unites the reality-warping might of Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch), the hellish heritage of Daimon Hellstrom, and the mystic arts of Doctor Voodoo to hold the magical barriers, while the dual spirits of vengeance, Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch (Ghost Riders), scorch the earth with hellfire. Supported by the ancient knowledge of Agatha Harkness and the swamp-guardian Man-Thing, and armed by the tactical expertise of Whistler and Elsa Bloodstone, the team operates under the ominous guidance of the Tarot, where every card drawn dictates a sacrifice required to halt the apocalypse. On the visceral front lines, the battle turns into a carnage of monsters fighting monsters. Eddie Brock and Venom, representing the Tarot’s "Devil," emerge as the team's MVP; the Symbiote’s alien physiology renders him immune to Lilith’s corruption, allowing him to devour the demonic horde alongside the lethal precision of Frank Castle (The Punisher) and the ruthless blade of Eric Brooks (Blade). As Marc Spector (Moon Knight) and Layla El-Faouly (Scarlet Scarab) strike from the shadows and skies, Dane Whitman (Black Knight) wields the Ebony Blade alongside the feral rage of Jack Russell (Werewolf By Night) and the cunning of Hannibal King. In this bloody crusade, Venom acts as the unstoppable tank while the team unleashes their inner beasts, proving that to defeat the ultimate darkness of Mephisto and Lilith, the Marvel Universe needs its most terrifying nightmares.
