>Wolverine was called "Weapon X" even before he was intended to have anything to do with the X-MenHuh... Strange... I always thought "Weapon X" was derivative of "X-Men" and that it was just a weird coincidence in-universe...Anyway, post weird trivia.
>>155386182>Dormammu and Umar, as well as the Faltine in general, look vaguely like amorphous fire-beetles in their purest forms. Pic related. >The entire reason that they're a threat, and outcasts from their species, is because they absorb matter instead of energy. They are both aggressive retards and aggressively retarded to the rest of their kind.>Nightcrawler was originally meant to be an actual demon. He was meant to have rejected his return to hell after failing a mission and stuck around on Earth.>He was also meant to be a DC character-- first as a sidekick to another hero, then as part of the Legion of Superheroes. He was rejected for being "too funny-looking.">The Penance Stare was originally an ability exclusive to Danny Ketch, and is meant to reapply all of the pain someone has caused others at once. >It also took care of Galactus in the best cameo scene of all time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx8ob0BAkOsThe original story this episode was based off of, Fantastic Four #243, had Dr. Strange doing almost the exact same thing with the Images of Ikkon before the Penance Stare existed.

>>155386182Howard the Duck's favorite food is Franks and Beans, favorite movie is Lawrence of Arabia, and favorite band is The Beatles.
There exists a parallel universe in Marvel where heroes and villains are flipped.It's been conquered by Devil Girl and Moon Dinosaur, the evil counterparts to Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.All she did when she conquered the world is make people dress up like unicorns and teddy bears because despite being the greatest evil genius in existence she is still a ten year old girl.
>>155386510Oh Hey! That's Tony Jay doing Galactus. Neat!
>>155386182Wolverine was always made for X-Men though
>>155388257That’s sound like a nightmare >>155388341No, he was a one-off Ca
>>155388341>No, he was a one-off canuck murderhobo
>>155388341No, you retarded faggot! He debuted like half a year before GSX and nothing about his appearances before that indicates any X-Men connections, in fact, X-Men was considered a dead franchise at the time.
>>155388341He was supposed to be a fucking evolved wolverine in his first appearance.
>>155386510>the best cameo scene of all time.I remember seeing that on tv. Dude just rolls up and eye lasers Galactus in the soul and fucks off. Top shelf.
>>155388861He wasn't, but Claremont did initially want him to be an evolved wolverine around the time he was writing X-Men (specifically in that issue where that leprechaun called him Logan)Supposedly Len Wein thought of Wolverine as a hothead teenager and then that was ignored by Claremont
>>155386182Wolverine precedes ALL.
>>155388341Yeah, I think Len Wein was also writing X-men at the time and intended to port Wolverine over.He even intended him to be 19.
>>155388456And Len Wein wrote Giant-Size X-men, your point?
>>155388257Of all the people to take over I wouldn't have expect it to be Devil Girl. I'm guessing this was for the sake of Moon Girl's solo run. How is her comic?
>>155392066>Brother Voodoo and the Automatoids are mutants because Len Wein created them
>>155392122moonish, girl-like
>>155388456irrelevant, the idea for international x-men was developed for a year before GSX debuted. As a matter of fact, Wolverine was SPECIFICALLY put in Hulk to slowly promote the upcoming ANAD X-Men. Nightcrawler , Colossus and Storm were also supposed to appear in random marvel books, but before the writers decided to do so, GSX got published. Also, wolverine started as an idea by Roy Thomas exclusively for the new X-Men team, and then it was developed by marvel committee
>>155392126>Len Wein never intended Wolverine to be a mutant!>The fact he wrote the issue where Wolverine join the X-men does not count!
>>155392126Are you a leftard? Because the way you argue makes you sound like one
>>155386510>sue uses her powershttps://youtu.be/ebSAotH6B7w?t=13
>>155392175do you understand linear time>>155392179do you understand nobody cares
>>155392122Obnoxious and largely insufferableIt’s aimed at young kids, so it’s written like a shitty Dreamworks movie (bizarrely outdated adult references and shitty facial expression included).
>>155392695DW is based, cope
>Mantis is both a DC and Marvel character>Not as in, oh they both have characters called Mantis. As in the character itself is part of both universes, and when Mantis first appeared in DC (Now called Willow to avoid copyright) it was established heavily as the same character who has hopped universes>This is because Mantis' creator, Steve Englehart, treats her like his personal Mary Sue and has serious waifu syndrome over her>Also he fucking hates the MCU Mantis>https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Mantis_(Brandt)_(Earth-616)>https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Willow_(Earth-One)
>>155388257My three fave multiverse ideas for any superhero universe is:>What if the heroes were villains and vice versa?>What if every hero had a different name?>What if every hero had the same name but different powers?
>>155393001You're not into>what if everyone was a Nazi
>>155392066Did Roy Thomas?
>>155393044>Krakoa arc
>>155392122Her comic is just OK, but her show is fantastic.
>>155386182So weird!
>>155393044>Nightcrawler talks about zest>is drawn incredibly, flamboyantly zesty
>>155386182It's called weapons "X" because it's a mutant weapon, mutants are known for getting their powers from a mutation on the "X" gene, hence weapon X. Xavier used the same nomenclature for his X-men for the same reason.
>>155395396Nazi Nightcrawler was dapper as fuck.
>>155395396the nazis had good fashion for a reason
>>155395412That’s not even true, in the first issue he said they’re the X-Men because they have “x-tra power” and his name is X
>>155393044Its because I like to imagine new concepts for established hero names.
>>155395940Would you say they were...>super-duper super-men!
>>155392976>Not as in, oh they both have characters called Mantis>Now called Willow to avoid copyrightI'm sure the fact that there is actually a pre-existing character named Mantis in the DCU didn't help.(you caught me firefox, I did in fact intend to write pee-existing. bravo. well done.)
>>155393001Those are lame ideas.
>>155395412it's called Weapon X because Len Wein thought the X sounded cool and named the weapons manufacturer "Weapon X", and Barry Windsor-Smith just autistically made the entire Weapon X thing up and brought it to Marvel 20 years later because he wanted to tell a horror story about people you learn are assholes being hunted down and murdered by a guy you learn is "good"
>>155386182Everyone knows that
>>155399044kek is there any superheroic backstory thing that doesn’t end up going this way
>>155396430True, the "X-gene" is one of those ideas that shows up surprisingly late in a book's history but somehow people act like it's always been a thing and get annoyed when you tell them it's awful and retarded. They literally made it x-shaped.
>>155401361It first shows up in mid-80s and doesn't cement itself until about a decade later.
>>155389014>I was on my way to Taco Bell when I saw that guy and went “Fuck it I’m in the neighborhood”
>>155402062Last time there was a /co/ discussion about this, the earliest mention anyone could find for the term 'X-gene' was Ellis' Excalibur in the mid 90s, but it didn't really cement itself as a term in regular use in the books until the early 2000s runs after the first movie.
