Ad-Hoc: Marvel

Ad-Hoc is a style of crisis committee where the delegates participating will not know of the exact details until a few hours before the start of the conference. (Which makes it fun!) There is no background guide or dossiers available before the conference. Instead, they will be given out in a special packet on the day of the conference. The group for this committee will be small (about 24 people max) and tightly knit.

Arguably the superior comic book adaptations, Marvel movies are a staple of pop culture in Hollywood. During this committee, delegates will be taking on the roles of some of the most popular characters to determine the fate of the crumbling world. What challenges, villains, and powers will be at play? Time will tell! Just because a delegate might have watched the movies, it doesn’t mean that the committee will pan out the same way. The committee will largely function as a crisis, with crisis updates and notes, so delegates should be prepared to dive into any point of the Marvel storyline to address the mounting issues and steer the course of the future at their will!

(There will be no position papers required for this committee in order to win an award)

Disclaimer: No prior knowledge of the Marvel movies is required, however, it might be helpful for delegates to have a general understanding of the notable Marvel characters!

A Letter From the Chair

Hi delegates!

I am beyond ecstatic to be charing the Marvel Ad-Hoc committee this year at WINMUN VII. It has been my goal since joining MUN freshman year to make this committee a reality. Why you might ask? Well, I absolutely love the Marvel Cinematic Universe and have watched every movie (and TV show)! Fun Fact: I spent my entire freshman year writing Marvel movie reviews for the Winchester High School’s school newspaper, The Red & Black!

This committee will be full of twists and turns, so be prepared to be on your A-game as you take on the role of the Avengers and deal with the looming challenges. While you may not know which character you will be assigned, nor when the committee will be set, I encourage you to watch any Marvel movie to relish in the expansively intertwined stories. THE storyline is what you are in charge of, and the repercussions of YOUR decisions in committee will affect the fate of the world!

Remember that all the staffers at WINMUN are here to make your experience the best it can be! Feel free to reach out, whether it be before the committee or during the day, with any questions or concerns. I cannot wait to meet you very soon!

Best,

Aden Huang, Chair
