Should be a screen saver. It’s weird seeing all this go down as an X-Men fan. For Apocalypse to acknowledge them, for Magneto and Xavier to be on one accord, it’s great but weird. Especially since the very ideology you’ve fought against is what you side with now. But tbh, the human population has been trippin hard. Building a whole mutant killing space station and shit lol. With as many things that mutants have done for them, you’d expect them to fear mutants less and less over time, but they’ve become more and more erratic. It really does feel like a total Humans vs. X-men sort of thing. As long as their traditional mutant foes don’t try to mess this sort of sovereignty up by being simplistic egotistical bad guys, then I’m all for it.

The eggs are useless by themselves. Proteus makes them viable. Also, most likely Wolverine still has is adamantium due to Proteus warping reality in order to make the eggs viable
Yeah I was curious about the Adamantium, was expecting to see Wolverine with just bone claws, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that Proteus is warping reality to include Wolverines bone structure being coated with Adamantium.
Thank you, I was wondering about that too, you may be right, makes sense... the same goes to Warren's Wings, they are Metal Wings when they are presented to the rest of Krakoa.
I know it's late but that line was Xavier's. Hickman loved it so he used it for Franklin. Besides Charles, Cyclops also used it a few times most iconic of them in Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men.
Nice Video Rob. This WAS A BEAUTIFUL ISSUE. I Loved How Storm rally the people of Krakoa to welcome her Dead Friends. What a great Issue. And all the Villains coming to Krakoa? You know shit is about to go down.
yeah, i feel Apocalypse is often under powered from story reasons, he should have given the beat down to those 3 Nimrod's, since he can manipulate his own molecular structure + celestial tech, Nimrod should't stand a chance.
The plan NEEDED to succeed to allow Wolverine time to escape. As Apocalypse said there's nothing for this life/world anymore. What does he care if Moira is gone to her next life and all he is left with is Wolverine and an endless battle, one that he's already been fighting for Centuries? A lot of people seem to be reading these books and looking for what they want out of it instead of looking at the overall story that's being told. Something bigger than a set of powers is happening here. It's bigger than Apocalypse, than professor X, Magneto or any one X-Man. It's the idea. the Survival and preservation of an entire group of sentient life. What's the point of a story if that story is just to prove Apocalypse is the most powerful and defeats Nimrod but has no more mutants left to tell whom is the fittest? The ideas Apocolypse has is more important the the power he posses and this issue proved that with his speech once he stepped into Krokoa and said, "I was right. My idea. You're welcome."
@@magnamic5614 He didn't need to die for his plan to succeed. Furthermore, Apocalypse would'nt have fought just to stall Nimrod.

The Bitter Pill Right? There are outcry of this issue portraying X-men and mutants as a cultish nation. Well, excuse them for deciding that they do not want to be massacred left and right anymore after decades of the world and “mightiest heroes” not giving a damn about them or a single fake tear or shovel when mutant children were bombed by bus loads. Also, what Krakoa is doing is no different from what Wakanda did when it came out of hiatus.
I absolutely love when the so called Villains become good guys. Not by seeing the error in their ways. But by showing that their motives where not so bad after all. I absolutely love this.
Totally agree, I'm loving everything about this. Because now we're seeing that even the X-men were wrong and their idea of being "good" wasn't as black and white as they thought. Really feels like the entire mutant population is genuinely on the same page.
@@Grymkreaper on the same page but how long will that last, they're still villains at the end of the day and knowing the x men complicated f-ed continuity in 616 something always goes south. No way in hell other characters didn't show up in this series to either show support or concern. Also makes me wonder did Ororro tell Tchalla about krakoa or if he already knows, that's a powerful allie to have on your side.
@@IllMatic97 Naturally this will eventually go south. Just the nature of the medium. But for right now I'm totally enjoying the inclusiveness of the mutant community.
This raises a lot of questions... here are two that keep popping up in my mind: 1) if the xmen are resurrected does that mean Wolverine now has no adamantium ? 2) If the xmen died in space does that mean their souls are in the realm of Mephisto, or the white hot room, or all the lther places souls go to? And does that mean that the newly "hatched" xmen are actually just soulless beings? Or new souls?
I agree with the second one. Especially since cyclops had one eye before this event, then he was okay going on a suicide run, and now is basically soulless
@@mangoman1073, I agree. I think people whom dwell on this forget that the greater plan is the most important. Apocalypse knows of his wife Moira X's powers and knows what awaits him in her next life. This was all planned out to allow Wolverine time to retreat without Nimrod learning of any of their plans otherwise Nimrod would have figured out the importance of Krakoa, Moira and her other lives.
white america's worst nightmare... not all of Apocalypse’s powers are mutant. Some come from his body absorbing & adapting to the technovirus, which later allowed him access to even more powers via Celestial Tech.
Wow 😮, the X-Men has gone to an entirely different level! Jonathan Hickman is the BOMB! X-Men are now on a path of mythology, not just need little comic based adventures ✨✨✨ But can this be maintained after Power of X and House of X 🤔 wow 😮, just Wow✨✨✨✨🤯
If Hickman's involved the books will keep being amazing. The only bad thing is we'll go from a weekly series (basically) to a monthly one. It might be a bit hard to get used to that
I really hope so. This is something that should have happened long ago. The villains aligned together kinda make me wonder cause we know they'll be the first to stab someone in the back.
I’m loving how Hickman has captured the spirit of nation building philosophies in HoX and PoX. I wish this was available when I was a child I would have been SO into it and bought every single book!
this series is SOOOO SICK!!! i've been reading both power x and house of x, and hickman took x men storylines to the NEXT LEVEL!!................................... THANK YOU HICKMAN/ LARRAZ/GRACIA!!!
Plenty evidence look at secret wars apocalypse took on a whole Thor core he can take on a whole team of x men at one time y'all know this evidence help me out
If you think about it... there is really no force on Earth that can stop them now. There shouldn't be, anyway. Apocalypse, Magneto, Professor X... their teams combined?!! Mutant immortality?As long as they have a defense program set up for the island, mutants in place to defend it 24/7... then short of Galactus teaming up with Dormamu to take them down, they are set for life. Hickman would have to come up with something pretty F'd up to screw this time line up. Time traveling Nimrod with the Phalanx maybe?
One major weakness is that without those five mutants the resurrection is no longer viable so if they get taken out everyone else stays dead. One method i could think of to fix that is for the mutants to combine the five of them in one entity and produce multiple copies of that entity which given the things we have seen sinister and Apocalypse pull by modifying mutants in the past/ future is definitely possible. It would be like the mutants having their own version of the mother mould a self replicating system designed to endlessly recreate the strongest mutants over and over if necessary.
@Encore Baby If all of them banded together, sure, they're a threat... but each on their own? No. Sentry IS powerful, but his main weakness is mental manipulation. Xavier is the most powerful telepath on Earth... so with Emma, Jean and Proff... Sentry is out. Wolverine has taken down Ghost Rider before... alone. Dr. Doom is also powerful, but against all these mutants? No. Same with the others. It would take (as in Moira's other life) a combined effort of all the heroes of earth to stand a chance. But now that Apocalypse and Magneto are with Xavier... it just make them so OP. They have 3 mutants for every situation. Redundancy after redundancy.
@Encore Baby Agreed. There's always a way to write around anything. Thor beat Sentry by himself once, but then again Sentry toyed with Thor like he was a child another time. It really does depend on the writers... like how Apocalypse only took down one Nimrod before supposedly being killed by the other two. My point is that short of Hickman just saying "because I said so," the FULL united force of ALL mutant kind should be enough to stand against anything the Marvel Comic Universe can throw at them... I mean... short of Franklin Richards... who could end up joining them.
Did y’all catch that the clone of Cyclops’ eyes were glowing even though they were open, he wasn’t blasting his optic beams all over the place. Then Xavier put the visor on him before he gave him the original Cyclops’ brain patterns and memories, that’s because of Cyclops’ his mental blocks that keep it from controlling his powers. Charles did that because he knew that Scott would probably blast his head off by accident once he gave him his memories.
This is so well done finally a storyline that wraps up all the loose ends and continues so many storylines without actually messing up the storyline . Allowing readers from multiple story arcs a chance to start fresh.
The whole resurrection thing is like what's happening in the future timeline with those guys downloading their minds into the machines. It's so interesting how Hickman is parralling Mutants and Machines. This is the first time i actually want to see the X-men fighting sentinels
@ComicsExplained Yo! Ive gotta say as an avid collector in the 90s, an ex-comic store employee, and a comic artist, ur coverage of this amazing Hickman series is the only reason Ive jumped back into collecting Xmen comics in almost 20 years. After the video of issue 3, I dropped $100 to get all 8 of the current sold out issues and it was worth every penny. This is the best X story since Claremont and Asteroid M and I can feel the history in the making! Exciting times, bro. Im dying to see where he takes this story in these series', Dawn of X and, hopefully, the MCU. Cheers!
one question: where's Moira in this life? why isn't she beside charles and magneto? I love this trio and I think the three characters have a lot to give us
If this is 616 then Moira is in the grave. But Xavier is running around in his own body I think so it shouldn't be 616 unless he pod people'd himself a body of course. Though, no reason for Moira to stay dead because pod people. Nothing matters anymore.
@@mangoman1073 I sincerely hope it is a good thing because it was so good she was a mutant and the lives we were shown and as after many tries and saw and wanted the charles next door. Maybe she is modifying her mutant genes and no longer reincarnates and is something akin to the apocalypse and or healing power of logan, only time will tell us
@@badmrbox If you read the info provided in the "The Lives of Moira X" timelines, you can clearly see that her death was retconned in her 10th(current) life, in which instead of dying she supposedly "faked" her death.
You may have missed the line, but Magnus indeed said to Charles right after the cloning “They (humanity) should have killed us when they had the chance.” so yeah...
That’s so awesome. Apocalypse showing up and basically saying “Checkmate” after his vision is finally realized while also joining the X-Men and making peace. Followed by Xavier’s “Welcome Home” line. WOW.
nah son. Goldballs is the reason why we have our true Golden God in Dennis Reynolds, who possess this amazing ability: ruclips.net/video/zTZc3milai0/видео.html
Another amazing video. Loving this series. Tried to pick up issues but they are sold out on all powers and house. Thanks for the vids rob. Btw dont know if youre aware but how loud your voice is fluctuates alot in your videos like halfway through it gets quite and then comes back
What I wonder is how much of their memory is actually there. Do they remember all of the last mission? Do they remember dying? Why push so hard to get home if they could just be reborn?
@@theinternetjerk9597 Did you read the issue. This was all explained. What happened to them is no different than what already happened to Jean via the Phoenix eggs.
@@theinternetjerk9597 Professor X has updated and saved the "latest versions" of their memory. He do this every week as it was indicated in the issue. They may not recall how they died but they knew it happened because they are aware of the mission they are assigned to. Srsly, you really need to READ CAREFULLY.
This writing is AMAZING! Just the pure depth of combining these characters and giving them a certain level meaning as a collective is just ....... amazing!!!!
Terrible Gamer Elixir is an Omega-level mutant, capable of controlling the biological structure of any organic matter including his own body. He must be in proximity to whomever he uses his power on.Besides healing, Elixir can: -boost and restore mutant abilities -Keenly detect any abnormalities in a person’s body such as T.O.V cells in Archangel’s posterior, cancer in The Gamemaster Tre Bek and even sensed the effect of magical inversion on Sabretooth -Manipulate the life-forces of others -Cleansing the body of drugs (which is a great benefit for some of Elixir’s “more cool” teammates on the X-men when Xavier would come around with “the cups”) -create deadly tumors within a person (remembering one issue where he got a bit spooky and manifested a X-shaped tumor in a villain’s brain!) The Stepford Cuckoos telepathically transfer the Beast's knowledge of anatomy, biology, and genetics into Elixir’s mind so now he has the ability to cure anything. Additionally, Elixir has absolute control over his own biology; resulting in Elixir being virtually immortal. He can be killed but his powers grant him the ability to resurrect himself, even possessing the power to be reborn into a new body (for some reason). Simply put, he has total, cheat code levels of regeneration, even at the cellular level (Wolverine’s healing factor is a garbage tier joke in comparison). Since his rebirth, Elixir can bring people back from dead as seen as when he was able to affect the 16 million dead mutants on Genosha at once, and although it quickly drained him out of energy and he passed out, Monet and Magneto speculated, that Elixir was fully capable of resurrecting them all. **Caution: This is NOT a story the Jedi would tell you. It is a Sith Legend**
Why, in the name of the One Above All, does Marvel insist on using Jean Grey's Marvel Girl costume since the relaunch?!!!! Her Xmen Red outfit was just fine 😣
I don't understand why some people have an issur with the Marvel Girl costume coming back. Xmen red jean grey was too bulky/masculine/bull dykke/ shoulder padded/ugly. Marvel girl costume is feminine, pretty, and iconic jean grey.
@@Necrophonica she didnt have pouches for her xred suit so liefeld couldnt have deaigned it. The dude loves putting pouches on pretty much everyone he draws
Did people forget apocalypse gave Logan his adamatium back also when he made him a horse man too so if the reality warping isn't what happened it could be that, cause that event would still have to happen
So how are they gonna put their original souls back? I mean clones have new souls. That being confirm with several clones in Marvel history. So a future story arc maybe where they go abd get their souls back?
LMAO Hickman doesn't care about the continuity of a non X-Men story right now. What happened with those stories have nothing to do with what happens here. They have their souls and their minds. Only Nightcrawler is different.
I do not understand how Xavier would ever attempt to resurrect Jean Grey. If he has been informed about the important events that have happened in the previous timelines, then he really ought to know that the Phoenix Force is very likely to resurrect Jean on its own. She's the "Chosen One", after all. Moreover, even without the aid of the Phoenix Force, Jean just recently brought herself back to life (a' la Watchmen's Dr. Manhattan) during the Poison-X arc. That final note on Resurrection Protocol in House of X #5 mentions "fears regarding duplication" strikes me as very ominous.
So did they clone the adamantium in wolverine? I assume his new cloned body is adamantium free and he’s back to bone claws or are they going to fuse the him with adamantium again?
Proteus can manipulate reality so I'm assuming that's how they'll circumnavigate that issue. They'll probably throw some pseudo science in the mix on how he manipulated Logan's bones to make them organic adamantium or some shit.
what about Cyclops? if he's a clone, shouldn't he control his Blasts since he never hit his head?and what of Angel? WHEN was his DNA taken? before or after Apocalypse made him into Archangel ?
Dude, I've been reading Xmen comics since the xfactor split. This Hickman run of comics is the best I have ever read. My wife says I look so happy when reading them.
Dodge Morningstar word. Remember his first clone the one that died in Recent suicide mission had the same issue after he and the other X-men were impregnated /assimilated by the brood in the 90s. At the time wolverine was the only one to escape that because of his healing factor rejected the brood impregnation.
nick cruz If I remember correctly one of the telepaths, I think it was Emma who said that Cyclops has a type of PTSD from his powers manifesting and being thrown out of the airplane by his dad to save them. Also I think it’s his stubbornness of wanting to remember what happened that night, so his messed up powers are a memento of that event.
The five had me shook!!! Xavier had me shook!!! Storm addressing mutantkind had me shooketh and produced a tear when she talked with Scott and Jean!!! Apocalypse had me more than Shook when he finally told his children he was proud of them. Emma always being able to make the difficult/controversial decisions made me love her even more. regardless of what happens next, Charles, Erik's, Apocalypse....their children have a shot at the future
I am really enjoying this storyline, as well as your coverage so far. Thank you for not throwing the deus ex machina title on this story. We both understand that x-men stories can be a little more over the top compared to a lot of other earth bound marvel stories. So to hear a voice who gets that this is a return to good x-men writing really helps me with my day. Keep up the good work!
Comics Explained, I've followed your channel for years, and I've greatly enjoyed your content (particularly your Hickman Fantastic Four/FF rundown...I FELT your utter JOY and HYPE EVERY TIME, believe me), but there's one bit of your technique that irritates me a little. You seem stuck on delivering your perspectives/reviews swiftly, and I get it (branding/style?), but I've noticed that you oftentimes seem so swept up in technique that you misrepresent or flat-out misreport story elements. I'm certain you're a massive lover of X-Men, and I wouldn't doubt your knowledge of the characters and the mythology bordering on encyclopedic, but slow and steady can win the race just as successfully as swift and somewhat careless. An example? Hickman clearly illustrates the status of the eggs in the comic, and more than once, yet you are confused as to what the overall status of the eggs might be. You do this sort of thing quite a bit in your reviews. I've even listened to you fill in blanks with your own logic/understanding, when, in truth, said blanks occurred as a result of you either missing very clear story points, or you speed reading, recording, and posting to beat the rush. Or for whatever reason. My advice (not that you've asked for it)? Take your time. Slow down. We, your viewers, aren't going anywhere. Delayed reviews containing accurate information are preferable to swift reviews riddled with inconsistencies. Keep up the good work, guy. Lavender Jack...Swooping On Down.

@@Grymkreaper on the same page but how long will that last, they're still villains at the end of the day and knowing the x men complicated f-ed continuity in 616 something always goes south. No way in hell other characters didn't show up in this series to either show support or concern. Also makes me wonder did Ororro tell Tchalla about krakoa or if he already knows, that's a powerful allie to have on your side.
@@IllMatic97 Naturally this will eventually go south. Just the nature of the medium. But for right now I'm totally enjoying the inclusiveness of the mutant community.
This raises a lot of questions... here are two that keep popping up in my mind:
1) if the xmen are resurrected does that mean Wolverine now has no adamantium ?
2) If the xmen died in space does that mean their souls are in the realm of Mephisto, or the white hot room, or all the lther places souls go to? And does that mean that the newly "hatched" xmen are actually just soulless beings? Or new souls?
I agree with the second one. Especially since cyclops had one eye before this event, then he was okay going on a suicide run, and now is basically soulless
I agree with you. Apocalypse should have destroyed Nimrod
I also agree. Nimrod winning that one was absolute bullshit
I think it was part of the plan to lose as you don’t really see him exercise his powers
@@mangoman1073,
I agree.
I think people whom dwell on this forget that the greater plan is the most important. Apocalypse knows of his wife Moira X's powers and knows what awaits him in her next life. This was all planned out to allow Wolverine time to retreat without Nimrod learning of any of their plans otherwise Nimrod would have figured out the importance of Krakoa, Moira and her other lives.
white america's worst nightmare... not all of Apocalypse’s powers are mutant.
Some come from his body absorbing & adapting to the technovirus, which later allowed him access to even more powers via Celestial Tech.
I have a theory. I don't think that was the true apocalypse. I think it was Evan.
Wow 😮, the X-Men has gone to an entirely different level! Jonathan Hickman is the BOMB! X-Men are now on a path of mythology, not just need little comic based adventures ✨✨✨ But can this be maintained after Power of X and House of X 🤔 wow 😮, just Wow✨✨✨✨🤯
mind blowing isn't it haha
If Hickman's involved the books will keep being amazing. The only bad thing is we'll go from a weekly series (basically) to a monthly one. It might be a bit hard to get used to that
I really hope so. This is something that should have happened long ago. The villains aligned together kinda make me wonder cause we know they'll be the first to stab someone in the back.
Hickman has laid out so much information in these books thus far to tell stories from for years
This is where they should have been since the 2000s...but HIGHS AND LOWS...and this is definitely a HIGH‼️💯
I’m loving how Hickman has captured the spirit of nation building philosophies in HoX and PoX. I wish this was available when I was a child I would have been SO into it and bought every single book!
this series is SOOOO SICK!!! i've been reading both power x and house of x, and hickman took x men storylines to the NEXT LEVEL!!................................... THANK YOU HICKMAN/ LARRAZ/GRACIA!!!
I translated the last two pages and it says
"For the children"
And
"I am not ashamed of what I am"
I'm 100% with you, I feel like Apocalypse should have ANNIHILATED Nymrod.. but like you, I have no evidence to back that up 😂😂😂
Considering Rogue took an arm from Nimrod when he ambushed her in his first appearance yeah, Apocalypse should've cleaned house with the Nimrods.
I don't get why he couldn't just grow huge and stomp...doesn't make sense...
@@nobodyknowsforsure comic book logic xD
BadMrBox Look, if Julian Keller and a team of teen mutants could handle Nimrod then Apocalypse should be able.
Plenty evidence look at secret wars apocalypse took on a whole Thor core he can take on a whole team of x men at one time y'all know this evidence help me out
Man I fucking shed tears when Xavier told En Sabeur Nur "Welcome home". This is the greatest Marvel story ever told.
Apocalypse, Magneto, Charles Xavier & Mr Sinister under one mutant nation. Wow this is history right here 💯
If you think about it... there is really no force on Earth that can stop them now. There shouldn't be, anyway. Apocalypse, Magneto, Professor X... their teams combined?!! Mutant immortality?As long as they have a defense program set up for the island, mutants in place to defend it 24/7... then short of Galactus teaming up with Dormamu to take them down, they are set for life. Hickman would have to come up with something pretty F'd up to screw this time line up.
Time traveling Nimrod with the Phalanx maybe?
sassy Sinister, no less.
One major weakness is that without those five mutants the resurrection is no longer viable so if they get taken out everyone else stays dead. One method i could think of to fix that is for the mutants to combine the five of them in one entity and produce multiple copies of that entity which given the things we have seen sinister and Apocalypse pull by modifying mutants in the past/ future is definitely possible. It would be like the mutants having their own version of the mother mould a self replicating system designed to endlessly recreate the strongest mutants over and over if necessary.
@Encore Baby If all of them banded together, sure, they're a threat... but each on their own? No. Sentry IS powerful, but his main weakness is mental manipulation. Xavier is the most powerful telepath on Earth... so with Emma, Jean and Proff... Sentry is out.
Wolverine has taken down Ghost Rider before... alone.
Dr. Doom is also powerful, but against all these mutants? No. Same with the others. It would take (as in Moira's other life) a combined effort of all the heroes of earth to stand a chance. But now that Apocalypse and Magneto are with Xavier... it just make them so OP. They have 3 mutants for every situation. Redundancy after redundancy.
@Encore Baby Agreed. There's always a way to write around anything. Thor beat Sentry by himself once, but then again Sentry toyed with Thor like he was a child another time. It really does depend on the writers... like how Apocalypse only took down one Nimrod before supposedly being killed by the other two.
My point is that short of Hickman just saying "because I said so," the FULL united force of ALL mutant kind should be enough to stand against anything the Marvel Comic Universe can throw at them... I mean... short of Franklin Richards... who could end up joining them.
Idk how Hickman's doing it, but OMG, it's AMAZING!
The ending gave me chills man, chills.
Did y’all catch that the clone of Cyclops’ eyes were glowing even though they were open, he wasn’t blasting his optic beams all over the place.
Then Xavier put the visor on him before he gave him the original Cyclops’ brain patterns and memories, that’s because of Cyclops’ his mental blocks that keep it from controlling his powers.
Charles did that because he knew that Scott would probably blast his head off by accident once he gave him his memories.

This book gave me goosebumps. AMAZING!!! Apocalypse talking to Karakora and the birds flying around him was epic!!
Wow they made "Gold Balls" the savior of the X-Men
Everybody loves Gold Balls
This is so well done finally a storyline that wraps up all the loose ends and continues so many storylines without actually messing up the storyline . Allowing readers from multiple story arcs a chance to start fresh.
House of M: 100 left.
Me: Good. For a while there, I thought mutants were growing on trees.
Hickman: Hold my beer.
The Bronze Age of DC Comics The mutant race was jumpstarted after A vs X. This is about them stop being killed after each one being born.
@@kennethhwang3425 Yes, I know that. I made a joke about a scene in the book. Can you not overthink for a moment?
I really love this issue! One of the best of the Powers/House of X issues.
indeed
This was the first one that kind of snapped the previous installments into place.
That last page straight up reminded me of Stone Cold Steve Austin shaking hands with Vince McMahon not gonna lie
That last panel legit gave me chills, loving this story so far
The whole resurrection thing is like what's happening in the future timeline with those guys downloading their minds into the machines. It's so interesting how Hickman is parralling Mutants and Machines. This is the first time i actually want to see the X-men fighting sentinels
@ComicsExplained Yo! Ive gotta say as an avid collector in the 90s, an ex-comic store employee, and a comic artist, ur coverage of this amazing Hickman series is the only reason Ive jumped back into collecting Xmen comics in almost 20 years. After the video of issue 3, I dropped $100 to get all 8 of the current sold out issues and it was worth every penny. This is the best X story since Claremont and Asteroid M and I can feel the history in the making! Exciting times, bro. Im dying to see where he takes this story in these series', Dawn of X and, hopefully, the MCU. Cheers!
it feels like a bunch of kids finally being acknowledged by their big brother.
Sooo... Goldballs's superpower was to throw people eggs?!
Golden Balls uses his eggs to resurrect people. He's essentially a kind of Savior. Golden Balls is the _real_ Professor Eggs-Savior.
Man that last pannel, Apocalypse bowing down and becoming one with all of them! Damn Goosebumps!
one question: where's Moira in this life? why isn't she beside charles and magneto? I love this trio and I think the three characters have a lot to give us
If this is 616 then Moira is in the grave. But Xavier is running around in his own body I think so it shouldn't be 616 unless he pod people'd himself a body of course. Though, no reason for Moira to stay dead because pod people. Nothing matters anymore.
Well that might be the next surprise in the books to come ;)
@@badmrbox i dont think so, tks
@@mangoman1073
I sincerely hope it is a good thing because it was so good she was a mutant and the lives we were shown and as after many tries and saw and wanted the charles next door. Maybe she is modifying her mutant genes and no longer reincarnates and is something akin to the apocalypse and or healing power of logan, only time will tell us
@@badmrbox If you read the info provided in the "The Lives of Moira X" timelines, you can clearly see that her death was retconned in her 10th(current) life, in which instead of dying she supposedly "faked" her death.
Wow the end gave me chills
Where is the High Evolutionary in this he has some of the best Science in Geneticis hands down
He could so screw over the mutants by turning off their powers. At this point I kinda want that to happen.
@@badmrbox He knows his place.
He wouldn't trifle with Krakoa. He'd only screw himself over by getting annihilated.
Him and Apocalypse battled before I think to a stalemate. Apocalypse backed by this new power house team might not be a good idea.
He’s possibly the most Dangerous being ever. I’m surprised people in the marvel universe let him be.
Is he a mutant??
Bro, that welcome home at the end...Goosebumps.
Apparently this alliance with Xavier, Magneto, and Apocalypse actually threatens the marvel universe in a future event in December.
This whole series has made me love comics all over again. Hadn't read in 15 years. Thank you Hickman!! Thank you!!
Infinite clones! The mutants are becoming scary. 😖
Right I can see professor x becoming a villain at the end of this
The mutants are becoming an unstoppable force. I don’t even think the Inhumans have a method like this, except for the terrigen mist method.
Terrigen mists dwarve in comparison
KajiXD you’re right it does.
You may have missed the line, but Magnus indeed said to Charles right after the cloning “They (humanity) should have killed us when they had the chance.” so yeah...
That part with Apocalypse joining the Mutants on Krakoa. That just gave me the warm feels inside.
I sense a double cross SOMEWHERE down the line.
If they let humanity weaken them, then Apocalypse will be Apocalypse.
in powers of x, apocalypse was helping the xmen in the future
Asad Parvez it’s Sinister I’m scared of.
Sinister will 1 be the doublecrosser
@@WrathofFenrir99 not him...sinister is the one to watch out for...he has no conscience
That’s so awesome. Apocalypse showing up and basically saying “Checkmate” after his vision is finally realized while also joining the X-Men and making peace. Followed by Xavier’s “Welcome Home” line. WOW.
Goldenballs when powered up becomes Blackballs
nah son. Goldballs is the reason why we have our true Golden God in Dennis Reynolds, who possess this amazing ability: ruclips.net/video/zTZc3milai0/видео.html
Blue balls
And if he's sad, he becomes blueballs
This comic run just keeps blowing my mind over and over. This is Hickman at his best and I love it!
Hickman adding spice to the x-men again I love it 🔥
God damn. I got cold chills at "welcome home." Shit is about to get real, dog.
They recreated the xmen who died, but how they did with wolverine's adamantium bones?
Proteus Reality manipulation (Omega level Mutant)
@@malimbaproudsonofkrakoa6636 nice, thanks... this issues are blowing my mind
Bro! A tear just came out my eye watching this! The feels are real!
Holy fuck. That is bonkers level insanity and it makes perfect sense.
Another amazing video. Loving this series. Tried to pick up issues but they are sold out on all powers and house. Thanks for the vids rob. Btw dont know if youre aware but how loud your voice is fluctuates alot in your videos like halfway through it gets quite and then comes back
That was prettt kool. But are the new x men really strong enough if they died and were brought back
The last bit warmed my heart. He can finally feel welcome somewhere, and has people around him that don't see him as an enemy or nuisance.
For those who say they were only clones, guys, you need to read the issue again.
They're clones with a copy of their memories as recorded by cerebro implanted in them.
What I wonder is how much of their memory is actually there. Do they remember all of the last mission? Do they remember dying? Why push so hard to get home if they could just be reborn?
mfkers are like StarKiller in Force Unleashed 2 now.
@@theinternetjerk9597 Did you read the issue. This was all explained.
What happened to them is no different than what already happened to Jean via the Phoenix eggs.
@@theinternetjerk9597 Professor X has updated and saved the "latest versions" of their memory. He do this every week as it was indicated in the issue. They may not recall how they died but they knew it happened because they are aware of the mission they are assigned to. Srsly, you really need to READ CAREFULLY.
This writing is AMAZING! Just the pure depth of combining these characters and giving them a certain level meaning as a collective is just ....... amazing!!!!
Could you do a video explaining the powers of elixir. Isn't he an omega level mutant?
Terrible Gamer Elixir is an Omega-level mutant, capable of controlling the biological structure of any organic matter including his own body.
He must be in proximity to whomever he uses his power on.Besides healing, Elixir can:
-boost and restore mutant abilities
-Keenly detect any abnormalities in a person’s body such as T.O.V cells in Archangel’s posterior, cancer in The Gamemaster Tre Bek and even sensed the effect of magical inversion on Sabretooth
-Manipulate the life-forces of others
-Cleansing the body of drugs (which is a great benefit for some of Elixir’s “more cool” teammates on the X-men when Xavier would come around with “the cups”)
-create deadly tumors within a person (remembering one issue where he got a bit spooky and manifested a X-shaped tumor in a villain’s brain!)
The Stepford Cuckoos telepathically transfer the Beast's knowledge of anatomy, biology, and genetics into Elixir’s mind so now he has the ability to cure anything.
Additionally, Elixir has absolute control over his own biology; resulting in Elixir being virtually immortal.
He can be killed but his powers grant him the ability to resurrect himself, even possessing the power to be reborn into a new body (for some reason).
Simply put, he has total, cheat code levels of regeneration, even at the cellular level (Wolverine’s healing factor is a garbage tier joke in comparison).
Since his rebirth, Elixir can bring people back from dead as seen as when he was able to affect the 16 million dead mutants on Genosha at once, and although it quickly drained him out of energy and he passed out, Monet and Magneto speculated, that Elixir was fully capable of resurrecting them all.
**Caution: This is NOT a story the Jedi would tell you. It is a Sith Legend**
MAN, I LOVE THAT IMG AT THE END...WELCOME HOME!!! Great Comic, Great Vid
Why, in the name of the One Above All, does Marvel insist on using Jean Grey's Marvel Girl costume since the relaunch?!!!! Her Xmen Red outfit was just fine 😣
I don't understand why some people have an issur with the Marvel Girl costume coming back. Xmen red jean grey was too bulky/masculine/bull dykke/ shoulder padded/ugly. Marvel girl costume is feminine, pretty, and iconic jean grey.
@@amandam120 nah man that marvel girl costume looks real stupid
If you read hox #5 it should give a clue. She was marvel girl as a young woman, and possibly this is the age/peak that resurrected her at
She has soo many good ones, but I'd say red was the worst by far, it looked like Liefeld designed it.
@@Necrophonica she didnt have pouches for her xred suit so liefeld couldnt have deaigned it. The dude loves putting pouches on pretty much everyone he draws
*The most beautiful issue I’ve ever read. I wish the future x-men comics would be drawn & written like this.*
Yeah Nimrod should definitely not be able to defeat Apocalypse.
i may have to get that end page framed and put on my wall for that epic moment.
Hickman will need to explain Wolverines adamantium now
Proteus reality manipulation. Marvel's favorite "we do want we want" power set.
Yeah so, they grow new body's and put their brains back in the bodys
Proteus and Hope are the reason why
Did people forget apocalypse gave Logan his adamatium back also when he made him a horse man too so if the reality warping isn't what happened it could be that, cause that event would still have to happen
@Mr420Spy I can totally see Hope boosting his powers so that doesnt happen so he and elixir can give everyone all of their powers back
I had chills seeing that page with him saying he was proud! 🙏🏾⭐️
So how are they gonna put their original souls back? I mean clones have new souls. That being confirm with several clones in Marvel history. So a future story arc maybe where they go abd get their souls back?
Nope
To give a more detailed answer. It is explained that Charles copies the mind of every mutant in Krakoa every week.
LMAO Hickman doesn't care about the continuity of a non X-Men story right now. What happened with those stories have nothing to do with what happens here.
They have their souls and their minds. Only Nightcrawler is different.
I do not understand how Xavier would ever attempt to resurrect Jean Grey. If he has been informed about the important events that have happened in the previous timelines, then he really ought to know that the Phoenix Force is very likely to resurrect Jean on its own. She's the "Chosen One", after all. Moreover, even without the aid of the Phoenix Force, Jean just recently brought herself back to life (a' la Watchmen's Dr. Manhattan) during the Poison-X arc. That final note on Resurrection Protocol in House of X #5 mentions "fears regarding duplication" strikes me as very ominous.
So did they clone the adamantium in wolverine? I assume his new cloned body is adamantium free and he’s back to bone claws or are they going to fuse the him with adamantium again?
Proteus can manipulate reality so I'm assuming that's how they'll circumnavigate that issue. They'll probably throw some pseudo science in the mix on how he manipulated Logan's bones to make them organic adamantium or some shit.
what about Cyclops? if he's a clone, shouldn't he control his Blasts since he never hit his head?and what of Angel? WHEN was his DNA taken? before or after Apocalypse made him into Archangel ?
Proteus is a god basically and we can assume he gives Wolverine's vlone bodies admantium
Jonathan Hickman writes Apocalypse amazingly well Man
Who else clicked this video faster than Barry Allen?!
Soon as I opened RUclips. Saw this and opened it.

Dude, I've been reading Xmen comics since the xfactor split. This Hickman run of comics is the best I have ever read. My wife says I look so happy when reading them.
one thing that gets on my nerves is how Scott is reborn in a new body and still cant control his powers. it doesn't make sense to me.
It was always a mental block with Scott, so his clone would also have the mental issue since he has original’s mind.
@@DrathTengu i thought it wasn't a mental block but caused by the accident when he fell out of the plane?
@Dodge Morningstar I didn't even realize the wolverine bones your right lol. in all fairness he isn't as cool without the metal bones lol
Dodge Morningstar word. Remember his first clone the one that died in Recent suicide mission had the same issue after he and the other X-men were impregnated /assimilated by the brood in the 90s. At the time wolverine was the only one to escape that because of his healing factor rejected the brood impregnation.
nick cruz If I remember correctly one of the telepaths, I think it was Emma who said that Cyclops has a type of PTSD from his powers manifesting and being thrown out of the airplane by his dad to save them. Also I think it’s his stubbornness of wanting to remember what happened that night, so his messed up powers are a memento of that event.
Freaking AWESOME and EPYC!!!!!!! I just got chills and almost shedded a manly year. Welcome Home Apocalypse!
Hickman says they are unviable.
Love this series cant wait till next week. Hiclman has me waiting like an addict waiting for his fix
The issue explains that golden balls are unviable on their own
The five had me shook!!! Xavier had me shook!!! Storm addressing mutantkind had me shooketh and produced a tear when she talked with Scott and Jean!!! Apocalypse had me more than Shook when he finally told his children he was proud of them. Emma always being able to make the difficult/controversial decisions made me love her even more. regardless of what happens next, Charles, Erik's, Apocalypse....their children have a shot at the future
This story is literally about the black society 🤷🏾♂️
Aaaaaaahhh!! That's sick! Apocalypse is now apart of the X-Men Family.
Prof. X gives me the creeps.
His body language and facial expressions remind me of Cassandra Nova. 😰
I'm not getting any good vibes from him. 😨
He as been weirding me out a bit as well. He needs to take off Cerebro once and a while.

I am really enjoying this storyline, as well as your coverage so far. Thank you for not throwing the deus ex machina title on this story. We both understand that x-men stories can be a little more over the top compared to a lot of other earth bound marvel stories. So to hear a voice who gets that this is a return to good x-men writing really helps me with my day. Keep up the good work!
Wow this is the best hickman writing xmen is the best if I ever meet him I will pull a Wayne's world and bow saying I'm not worthy I'm not worth lol
Give us moooree! Awesome video, you are doing a really good job!
Comics Explained, I've followed your channel for years, and I've greatly enjoyed your content (particularly your Hickman Fantastic Four/FF rundown...I FELT your utter JOY and HYPE EVERY TIME, believe me), but there's one bit of your technique that irritates me a little. You seem stuck on delivering your perspectives/reviews swiftly, and I get it (branding/style?), but I've noticed that you oftentimes seem so swept up in technique that you misrepresent or flat-out misreport story elements. I'm certain you're a massive lover of X-Men, and I wouldn't doubt your knowledge of the characters and the mythology bordering on encyclopedic, but slow and steady can win the race just as successfully as swift and somewhat careless.
An example?
Hickman clearly illustrates the status of the eggs in the comic, and more than once, yet you are confused as to what the overall status of the eggs might be. You do this sort of thing quite a bit in your reviews. I've even listened to you fill in blanks with your own logic/understanding, when, in truth, said blanks occurred as a result of you either missing very clear story points, or you speed reading, recording, and posting to beat the rush. Or for whatever reason.
My advice (not that you've asked for it)?
Take your time. Slow down. We, your viewers, aren't going anywhere. Delayed reviews containing accurate information are preferable to swift reviews riddled with inconsistencies.
Keep up the good work, guy.
Lavender Jack...Swooping On Down.
Damn I'm so happy the xmen are back and with Jonathan Hickman. This story is so bad ass on so many levels. Thanks Robert
