Finally .... Storm is being acknowledged as a true Omega level mutant like she's always been
@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh wow
@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh wow
@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh wow
Storm has the power to flood entire continents if she really wanted to if they were deciding to make her a complete threat or even a complete character to take seriously in a position of power is to be the Queen Of Wakanda.

One of the greatest superhero teams in comics history. X-Men forever.
X-men comics are easily my favorite kind of comics solely because of how they can tackle very complex real world themes with ease while still giving a compelling superhero narrative
I want the X-men to be popular again as they used to be back in the 90’s.
That version of the universe was frozen in the M'kraan crystal after Legion Quest and the Apocalypse Age remember. Then Fatal Attractions lead into the onslaught saga then the whole thing fracture and scattered into a huge pile of Woke PC garbage. There are a few amazing stories in there but I question Marvel's modern existence. They are litterally being propped up by Disney and Disney has never understood what made comics as popular as they were in the 90s.
@@lukeconner81 hasn’t X-men always been woke? All they do is deal with racism or fly off into space
@@JohnDoe-sl6di I wouldn’t call it woke in the way people are nowadays. Cause nowadays being woke is big joke. They had a true reason to be woke. They were literally hunted and slaughtered. It was a form of true racism. I don’t know if Disney can handle that. They may get it right but I doubt it.
@@hellnahboi.7601 ok I get your point. X-men are literally fighting for there existence as opposed to fighting over if transgender can compete in women’s sports.
Honestly, that was mainly because of the cartoon.
The X-Men deserve a decent movie featuring more mutants. Hopefully Marvel will deliver.
Haha more mutants? Which mutants didn’t appear that you wanted to see? Hate the X-Men movies all you want, but there’s no denying that they’ve used a shit ton of characters
William Vouk, Forge, Mimic, etc.
Reagan Reviews 1939 Oh please. Sure, they’re cool characters, but don’t pretend like you were upset that they left out Forge and Mimic. Like, sure, it would’ve been kinda cool to see them, but the movies weren’t missing anything due to a lack of them. And they’re pretty insignificant characters as is-don’t pretend like there are more characters you really did want to see but forgot to mention because they’re gonna have to be even less significant than those two for them to have forgotten them
William Vouk, I wanted to see Namor the Submariner. But I’m sure the MCU is going to make a movie about him.
Dont worry they'll deliver
Just like Grant Morrison said in the Wizard Magazine years ago....... The Avengers are a Football team, The Justice League are a world leaders group and the X-Men are a school.
@Michael Villarreal his gay?
@Michael Villarreal why is there two R's in your last name?
You're.
@Michael Villarreal yeah really cannot spell.

The Clarmont and Jim Lee X-men were amazing. Such good stories and art. That was my golden age of comics.
Jim lee art man! Love his work!
Also Claremont/Byrne and Claremont/Cockrum run.
The perfect team:
Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Iceman, Angel, Beast, Kitty, Colossus, Rogue, Gambit, Psylocke, Jubilee.
Fed this is it chief
14 people isn't a team, it's a mob.
That team so OP only villains theyd have r Thanos and Galactus
The best one is: Cyclops, wolverine, jean grey, beast, rogue and storm.
Wolverine, Psylocke, Rogue & Gambit alone is bad ass.
As a kid in the 80’s I don’t know why but I mostly collected X-Men titles. To find out as an adult that the X-Men were patterned after the civil rights struggles of African Americans (looked down upon/shunned/but posses extraordinary resiliency) Professor X is modeled after M.L.K. & Magneto is modeled after Malcolm X makes all of the sense in the world.
Basically all ik about comics I've learned from variant, thanks everyone behind variant. Keep up all the awesome work
Check out "comics explained" channel on RUclips. The info is more in depth
Yeah you would benefit from Comics Explained and Emergency Awesome. Blerd without Fear as well.
Comics explained is definitely another channel on the list
I see the answer in the comment section, nevermind.
Charlton Christian took the words out of my mouth
"You, miss grey, like the other four students at this most exclusive school, are a MUTANT! You possess an EXTRA power... one which ordinary humans do NOT!! That is why I call my students ... X-MEN, for EX-tra power!"
-Professor X
X-MEN #1 pg.8 panel 4
Sooo cheesy lol
@@obsidian8180 well dude it was the 60s
@@ComicBooksandVideoGameNerd96 lol yes i know, im busy reading those comics now and its definitely another time
YES! Ive radio the entire history in chronology order! I hear this in the 90s Fox X-Men TAS series voice! The ONLY way to read X-men comics..
@@panthergod did autocorrect turn read into radio.
I am with you! 90s X-Men is my X-Men. Such a great era.
Just one thing, "THE BROOD" . That whole story line set up a lot of Marvel's greatest history of back stories. The New Mutants, Carol Danvers, Rouge, Professor X walking again, and Wolverine's full potential of his powers.
FINALLY. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS! MY LIFE LONG DREAM HAS COME TRUE!! HISTORY OF X-MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ruclips.net/video/BvWDjHWgNgc/видео.html
I know right.
Alex Redwing You should check Comic Book Girl 19's documentary about X Men's history.
Ok
It sucks how the only live-action X-Men movie that had all six members of the original team in it (Professor X, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel, and Iceman) in it was The Last Stand, and they didn't have a scene that had all of them together. Talk about a wasted opportunity, especially since Angel was barely even in it.
How did mutant massacre not make the reading list?!? It’s one of the best stories ever and helped shaped comics for the next decade.
Rogue & Psylocke were so hot in the 90s
@NCO Season rogue was thicc
Total babes
Who hasn't had a crush on Rogue back in the day?
Jalen Payton don’t forget Domino
You can say that again. Also Storm!
Its funny how times have changed things avengers use to be a C list team at best now they're just as popular as the Xmen
@morhboct3 - The Avengers were NEVER C-list! They and the Fantastic Four were Marvel's premier superhero teams! The X-Men overtook the Avengers in sales in the '80s and in profile in the '90s! That's all.
From 1990 - 1996, the Avengers were in a creative lull due to a lack of top talent on the books! Priority was given to the X-Men because their sales were phenomenal!
However, starting with Heroes Reborn in 1996, the tide began to change for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and by 2004, Brian Michael Bendis finally righted the ship!
Yeah, Avengers were never C List
Nice try though
MrJon76 no Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Spider-Man were most popular. The Avengers were a hit when they started but then they kinda got somewhat forgotten. X-Men were 10 X’s more popular than Avengers until the past couple of decades due to TV and Movies
Great cover of a great comic team. You forgot that the X-men are a representation of the civil rights movement with Professor X being Martin Luther King and magneto being Malcolm X.
Louston Fountain really surprised....or maybe not, that he didn’t bring that up.
Maybe he didn’t know. Who knows but it is what it is.
i've heard thats actually not the case
morrigan4 check the link above. The article talks about Stan Lee’s inspiration for the X-men.
I think as the X-Men have really developed it’s a very flimsy metaphor especially when Magneto’s Holocaust origin was added by Chris Claremont and like so many Super hero myths and the men that created them there’s something more profoundly Jewish about that allegory also seen in Characters like Kitty Pryde and the fact that German characters like Nightcrawler were always separated massively from Nazism by being seen as friendly with Romani and Jewish people, I rather think the civil rights thing should be considered apocryphal because Magnetos early portrayals were straight up fascistic as well as Professor X having shown himself to be quite the manipulator also
"Omega level mutant, Storm." DAMN THAT'S MUSIC TO MY EARS
Thanks Arris! X Men is one of my favourite comic book teams of all time!
They are definitely in my top 3 superhero teams of all time
1 Justice League
2 X-men
3 fantastic four
Liam Bazan agreed
My list
1. Justice League
2. X men
3. Teen Titans
My list...
X-Men
X-Men
X-Men
Kaena Choo great list totally blanked out on the teen titans they are definitely one of my favorites
Xmen above all of them.
Speaking of mutants, can you do the history of Namor?
I didnt know he was classified as a mutant
Namor is not a mutant. He is an Atlantean. While unusual, with his winged ankles, it isn't sufficiently different to be considered a mutation.
@@jasonbean1176 he's considered a mutant
Namor isn't just an atlantean he's also part mutant
@@jasonbean1176 He's part Atlantian, his human aspect holds the mutant gene. Which is why he has wings by his ankles. Which is also why he's semi-invulnerable.
the first issue of x men was the first marvel comic i ever read 🤧
I will like to see a different villain to fight the x men in the MCU besides magneto , apocalypse and dark Phoenix , I will like to see Mr sinister or mojo to become the first villain in the first movie in the MCU
Ian Botello I wanna see Arcade! Yeah he’s very Joker esc, but he’d make for such a fun movie
@@williamvouk2911 I would love to see magneto built up to as a big bad. Other than that
Exodus and acolytes (after magneto and teasing apocalypse)
Then Mr sinister and marauders (morlock massacre)
Then apocalpse
Followed by the birth of genosha
Phoenix saga
Fall of genosha/days of future past.
Dark Phoenix saga.
MOJO
I completely agree with you on having The Xmen fight a villain we haven’t seen before in their First MCU film. But I really want to see how Marvel Studios adapts Magneto on the big screen. He’s easily one of my all time favorite Marvel villains and I really want to see Magneto Rock a kick ass comic book accurate costume.
Definitely want to see mr.sinister
*I was certain that this video was a re-upload.*
It’s shocking to see how there’s never been a History of X-Men lol
1999: avengers will be bigger than xmen one day
Me: LOL yeah right!
Me (2019): ok....
I still prefer the Mighty Mutants.
@Devin Johnson - The Avengers were bigger than the X-Men for most of the two teams existence! The Uncanny X-Men comic book gained massive popularity from 1979 - 1991. Heroes Reborn in '96 started to turn things back around, and by 2004 the pendulum swung back in the Avengers favor!
From 1961 - 1978, the Fantastic Four were more popular than the X-Men and from '72 - '77, even the Defenders were more popular!
@@MrJon76 facts.
Well done, sir. These kids just don't know.
@@rolmodel12. Thanks! I try!
Thats because of the movies only. Avengers movies are more recent.
8:49 We also were introduced to Rob Liefield's excess as far as his character design went...
I dont care, I enjoyed his new mutants stuff at points... unapologetically.. I get it.
His artwork is nowhere near as “problematic” as you people cry about at all. His artwork is fine and fitting for the era. No need to hate.
Read Uncanny X Force if you haven’t. Best comic of all time.
I really liked x-men blue especially 31-38 it's really good
My Favorite X-Men Character of all time is and always will be Nightcrawler, I remember going to Hurricane Harbor every summer in the 90's just to go play the X-Men Arcade game always choosing Nightcrawler. Parents were pissed but I had a good time
Another trio of good stories for Xmen was the first Proteus story, the mutant massacre and the fall of the mutants.
Oh my gosh! A Darker than Black fan! That's one of my favourite anime series too! 😍😍😍😍😃
The biggest tragedy and disservice that happened with the X-men is when marvel chose to severely underpay JIM LEE... $125 per page.... ugh🤔
@I they are but Jim is too, punk.
Wayne's Hammer yeah that weirdo “I” should name his goofy account ‘punk’
I gayyyyyy
I in what fucking way? His artwork has always been stellar?
@@karensbadapples8337 Very mature of you...
X-2 :X-Men United isn't just one of the best X-Men movies, it`s one of the best comic book movies of all time.
You could say Spider-Man and the xmen are the best marvel stories of all time
I didn't actually read Giant-Size X-Men #1 until about a year or two ago. I was amazed to find though, that Thunderbird's origin was only a few miles from where I went to high school. It's really odd because back when the issue was written, there were perhaps only 2,000-3000 people there and I know the real-life Native American reservation his was based on.
I was shocked that you haven't done a history of X-men video, that's crazy
Cyclops is my favorite X-Man
Man, I'm glad I found your channel a few years ago. You really do make quality content!
Extremely professional. Not too serious about the nerdy stuff, but passionate and honest. Good job. Approved and not the just the video but the channel as a whole!!
Common misconception about the X-Men that you didn't mention the X stands for eXtra power because the x-gene it's something that normal people lack
Great video. I'm surprised you guys never made an X-Men video before though.
Love this channel. Thanks for all you do Arris, it is much appreciated
Great episode once again Variant! Keep em coming. I would love to see you guys do a history of episode on Cyclops, Vulcan, and Icarus.
The Jim Lee designs are my favorite.
My favourite X-Men story is Age of Apocalypse..
Freddie Can't Dance not my favourite but definitely up there
BROOOO THAT PRODUCT PLACEMENT WAS GLORIOUS!!!!!!!! and great vid I've been trying to get into the X-Men comic but tbh until now I had absolutely no idea what was going on in any of the aspects of the universe and now I know where to start
Brotherman I just watched a video you done like 8 years ago and I'm always impressed by your commentment and experience with comics especially your own comic keep it up yo!!!
Cyclops is my favourite comic book character
Cyclops is the best superhero that ever existed. A true selfless being
I remember watching reruns of the 90s cartoon in the mid-last 2000s were Jubilee automatically became my favorite character. Sucks I don’t see much people talking about her
Love the videos been watching for years and the quality has only gone up
Keep up your vidoes dude you rock can you makke a vidoe about dc lucifer plz
This video should have been called History Of X-Men Comics
Excellent title recommendations! Some of my favorites some that I actually own in trades like New X-Men! I was waiting for AoA mention and you came through!
Days of Future Past was an excellent Xmen Story. I think Days of Future Past might be my favorite Xmen film. The 90’s run of The Xmen was also a huge part of my childhood and how can you not love the 90’s Xmen cartoon series. I also have to agree that The Xmen have one of the richest lore and history in all of comics.
I was born in the 2000s and i must say some how i grew up on 90s x men it's the best
I have no idea how in 6 years, you guys STILL have a stunning lack of Darkseid content 🤦🏽♂️
Cmon guys... DARKSEID
Darkseid is that great? I'm actually a comic reader and haven't ran into any comics of him for the cheap
mark elkhatib damn that sucks, he needs more spotlight for sure
mark elkhatib I forgot to say Darkseid is that great. He pretty much inspired Thanos, so I’m serious disappointed that Darkseid hasn’t got any love in awhile even tho he’s universally considered one of the greatest villains ever
Andreas Mohr I really like Ironside as Darkseid that’s not bad, I just hope his voice is deeper and more menacing tho
Think of it like this: name 10 villains better that Darkseid? You can’t do it, and I’m not just being biased even tho Darkseid and Deathstroke are my 2 favorite villains, but Darkseid should be on anyone and everyone’s list of the the top 10 or even top 5 super villains of all-time
Been waiting for this. Can't wait to get your thoughts on the new Hickman series.
I’m actually surprised you haven’t done a history of the X-Men for a long while. These were my first superheroes and easily the ones that I got into comics and the 90’s cartoon
Where is the update on all the Disney plus shows @VariantComics, Podcast?? 😀😀
Marvel, give us a flying rogue and cajun Gambit movie. Make it Rated R😍
Riff And Run 😂
You & I grew up in comics “hey-day”!
One may say we are also currently experiencing that again, only in cinemas this time instead!
Really Awesome Episode. I love it :) and can't wait to see the new X-Men Videos that you'll post. Which is soon I hope, and with the summary story of Avengers VS X-Men I hope :)
Could you do a history of the justice society of America
Listen y'all I know patience is a virtue but I've been waiting for this video for five years and unless you're a new suscriber so have you
Zo Bell I’ve been here for 4 and I feel ur pain. I’ve even spent like a half hour each on multiple occasions to make sure I have never missed it
Arris you rock💜... I loved the tshirt.. great point of view of our beloved xmen💜
Could you get more into detail of the Blue and Gold X-Men teams plz? Also some good reads for both teams cuz they're really starting to grab my attention
Wait so this channel has been going on for so long and there’s never been a history of the X-men before
Awesome, answer in the first minute even he was surprised
Arris, do a list of worst comic book stories for DC and Marvel respectively.
Nice video. I always figured that Stan WAS sort of running out of ideas for power origins, and the mutant concept was a nice solution. I also imagined that because he and Jack were SO busy with their other tiles that the X-Men were written almost as an afterthought. Like, it seems like the first 15 issues were a mix of introducing some cool villains (Magneto, Juggernaut, and the Sentinels) and then something like "Cebrebro found a mutant-- go find him and see if he'll join us!" which, he didn't. (Though Blob, who was part of that trope, is cool, too). But then you get into things like Factor Three and the story arcs were just not very compelling. I can see why sales lagged. It goes without saying that the reboot with Giant Size #1 was amazing.
Slightly off-topic, but as I have said on other RUclips videos about the X-Men, I loathe the whole "omega-level" trope that is now handed out like candy on Halloween by any writer who wants make their favorite character super cool. It was introduced as a throw-away concept in the late 80s, and not really brought up again. But by the early 2000s, virtually any new character was "Omega" and on some videos (usually titled something like "The 20 most power Omega-level mutants ever!) you hear a description that often includes things like "can destroy a planet with a thought" or "can destroy an entire solar system with a thought" and it is all stupid.
I get it-- like this guy, the people making these videos were kids when all of this was just accepted and so of course it's talked about. But if you're about 15 years olderand grew up reading Bronze age and early Iron Age stuff (and buying back issues of Silver Age comics with your lawn mowing money), this concept is rather foreign. I quit collecting ca. 1992 and every time I take a minute to see what went on after that, I don't regret my choice.
That Phoenix saga on the '90s cartoon though. Truly a god amongst insects
Jim Lee's XMEN art is untouchable, the best...
can you still buy the art comic to this day?
Please do a history of doctor doom I'm surprised you haven't done that
He is one of the best villains in comics.
@@cisko2015 he is a forgotten character who needs to make a comeback
@@recommendedforyou2936 he should be the main villain in phase 4 and 5
I love your channel! Keep on the good work!
Thank you!!!! Incredible how I never noticed You never made this before but enjoyed to know more of the X-Men history. Oh and ......That panda shirt.......EPICALLY AMAZING! 🤔🙌😎. Shout out to the 90's kids/teens everywhere!!
Stan Lee & Jack Kirby: In Memoriam.
Please do the origin of Azazel (NightCrawler’s Father). Gracias.
Thnx bro! Mind is blown right now how I never knew that. Makes complete sence too
Id prefer if the X-men first introduced in the MCU was the classic 60s lineup
Me too..but then people will complain about the lack of wolverine
Awesome job! My kids watched this before reading the giant size X-men 1 arc/age!!!
My X-Men recommendations: The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix, Age of Apocalypse, Age of X, Nightcrawler miniseries by Dave Cockrum, Magik miniseries, and Phoenix Endsong.
X men. Hope they are in the MCU now
Me too if they do they should start with the original X-Men and they should really focus on Angel as much as Wolverine I mean the dudes rich for one and his family was behind the whole cure for mutants thing and the dude lost his wings because they were damaged so bad in the fight they were forced to amputated then got his skin turned blue and was given metal wings by Apocalypse and was one of his horsemen for awhile until he eventually turned good and they were was a whole arc about him called the Dark Angel Saga.
@I i agree. Xmen is dark chocolate, while mcu is cotton candy. The destruction began with jennifer lawrence and that xwoman crap. How come the insecure feminists dont question the bible to put us out of our misery.
@I i didnt mean "jlaw" ruined anything. I meant the scene she was placed in. Well she did inadvertently ruined it cause of the success she had. Mystique is a lower tier villain compared to magneto and apocslypse. She is not an antihero as the movie portrayed her. Thats why rebecca romjin didnt have any lines. That scene was meant to be taken seriously. And some women actually aplauded it. Its not a throwback to 90s girl power. Its current female insecurities that mcu and xmen are trying to take advantage of (make money), with captain marvel and mystique. I think they came to their senses cause mystique is dead and there are no capt marvel (fingers crossed) movies planned
@I another case in point. Look at black widow and wonder woman. Both characters kicked men's butts (wonder woman shoved batman like he was a doll) without belittling, or insulting men. (Black widow insulted villains who happened to be men, but not the gender as a whole)
@I mcu made spidernan looked like a weak snivelling kid that needs to be "baby sat" by a bunch of women. So glad he is leaving the mcu. Spiderman deserves better. Also glad black widow wasnt in that scene. Sorry for the rant. Men do that too you know.
Woo never been this fast at looking at a vid
I'm digging this new X-Men series too! Digging a hole to throw the first issues of HOX/POX in so I can get rid of the regret of buying them!
This is great thank you. Reliving my X-men days
I love your video do a History of Angel.
Great vid keep up the amazing work 👍
More shockingly is the great Arris managed to explain the X-Men origins in less than 14mins. EXCELSIOR Mr Quinones!
Your favorite storylines are great, and truely your opinion. Although you forgot to mention a couple key lines. X-tinction Agenda was a great storyline and crossover in the 90's.
GREAT VIDEO. But Gold and Blue teams are now different from the 90's teams
My dreams come true
Clairmont had the best storyline and that Jim Lee cover of the Blue and Gold is iconic!
You didn't mention the X-Tinction Agenda; to me, it's the most underrated of the classic 90's storylines.
He doesn't mention one of the most important aspects of the xmen that it was created as an alagory of the Civil rights movement with prof x representing mlk and magneto representing Malcom x
Not true. There was no civil rights stuff until Claremont in the 70s/80s. Stan Lee just made an unsuccessful team that just so happened to be picked up later and made great. They were just a team made out of a demand for more super hero comics.
Oooooooooo me love some men and woman with powers that involve the 24th letter
New sub. Love your channel. Just got back into comics! Been gone since new 52 and NOW.....
My favorite storyline was the conflict with the Brood. The issue, which I have but can't remember the number of, in which Wolvie overcame a Brood queen implant through his adamantium skeleton, healing factor and force of will still stiffens my spine.:)
History of X-men:
Time travel 🤣
How did you recommend Avengers Vs. X-Men over Rick Remender's Uncanny X-Force run!?
A few months ago, Sideshow Collectibles released a Sixth Scale Cyclops based on the Jim Design. This is going to be the first figure I get when I start a Sideshow collection.
@6:14 I laughed so hard when he said sunfire quit immediately and Thunderbird dyed in the second mission ever lol hahahahaha
