Yeah, that's kinda crazy.

Well, they've had him discover the truth about Cable...now finally its time for Havok.

With Forge on the X-men now, and Havok as Forge's ex-teammate, it'll actually...

100% with you on Iceman and Colossus.

In general, I'd love to see some flashbacks to the O5 and the pre-TAS era overall. If nothing else, an adaptation of Giant Size X-men # 1 (though it likely...

So I just finished watching X-men '97, which was my first real exposure to the character of Madelyne Pryor I think. I think I've read a couple of stray Claremont-era issues with her (from before she...

Interesting.

I suppose it was also that L&C was supposed to be an adaptation of the Post-Crisis Superman mythos, and consequently they didn't want any associations with a Superboy series.

Would this be the Parallax who survived Convergence?

Yeah, good point.

Even in the actual Golden Age, Alfred kind of forced himself on the household, and this was with a relatively more chill Bruce and Dick...not a solo, psychologically damaged...

SPOILERS

X-men '97 covered a lot of stuff from the comics - The Trial of Magneto, Inferno, Lifedeath, Fall of the Mutants, Operation Zero Tolerance, Fatal Attractions and E is for Extinction, and...

5 stars from me!

I just binged it all over the last few days, and maybe it is recency bias talking. The show definitely has a few flaws (though what they are depends on your perspective) but on...

Its Wonder Woman for a number of reasons:

1. She's DC's biggest female superhero - probably the biggest and most iconic female superhero ever. That gives her a unique place in pop-culture.

2....

I think its something that has shifted over time.

Traditionally, which is to say maybe uptil the 60's or 70's or so, it was probably Robin.

I think it remained Robin, but by the 70's, Aquaman...

Yes and no

The minutae of comics continuity lining up perfectly is a futile exercise. If you're reading a Batman story and it has flashbacks to Batman's early years, it doesn't really matter if...

Selina being from high society is actually pretty consistent with the origin the Golden Age Catwoman was retroactively given in the 80's - she was married to an abusive wealthy man, and her first act...

Pretty much this.

Joker
Penguin
Riddler
Scarecrow
Two Face
Mr. Freeze
Poison Ivy
Ra's al Ghul

On some level, what you're describing is already the way most DC and Marvel 'runs' work, where writers use a few pivotal past stories/runs/events as the foundation for their own narrative that can...

My controversial opinion for the day - there's absolutely no reason for Peter, single or not, to be perpetually broke. Its almost become a defining attribute of the character/franchise. Yes, it had...

I can definitely see military and corporate influence playing a possible role in the emergence of modern-day superheroes. I think the MCU, and the Ultimates before, got that part right.

As far as...

Wolverine is obvious.

Cyclops is popularly known as the leader of the X-men so his inclusion is also obvious.

Storm is possibly the most iconic female X-men character, and one of the most...

Getting rid of the 'X-men' name will be suicidal for the brand.

They'll deserve every single bit of 'anti-woke' abuse coming their way...

Its almost impossible to tell because these characters have had such a profound impact on pop-culture that the world would be a very different place today had they not been created during WW2.

One...

Okay, to be honest, I'd totally forgotten that this show was coming out, but I'm psyched by what I'm seeing now :D

From Day 1, I'd expected a Golden Age-ish turn, but even I didn't anticipate that...

Yeah, somehow that's become the real theme of the series - "Peter Parker as the ultimate underdog".

And yes, Peter's story can be that of the underdog up to a point. But underdog stories...

I think Storm is pretty essential to X-men lineups, from the diversity perspective, the 'star-power' perspective, and being a literal powerhouse. You'd be hard-pressed to find a major iconic X-men...

Oh absolutely!

On a related note, its interesting that Pryde of the X-men went with a more 70's/80's inspired Claremont-era lineup (Cyclops, Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm and Dazzler,...

It makes sense to me because why wouldn't Magneto have a helmet to shield himself from telepathy when his number one enemy/frenemy/ideological opponent is the world's most powerful telepath?

Realistically, if they ever went for the O5 + 2, it'd be Storm and Wolverine.

Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Angel, Iceman, Storm and Wolverine is a viable line-up, to be fair.
