Marvel’s Adversary killed the X Men
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2024
- The Adversary first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men Issue 188 by Chris Claremont.
▸ The Adversary is a malevolent being, rooted in Native American mythology, embodies pure chaos and seeks to destroy and recreate the universe according to his whims. Possessing vast magical powers, the Adversary can manipulate reality, energy, and matter, cast illusions, and teleport. He is capable of opening portals to other dimensions and is virtually immortal. His most notable conflict involves tricking Forge, a mutant inventor and shaman, into opening a portal that allowed him to enter Earth's dimension. The Adversary's ultimate goal is to bring about the end of the world, seeing destruction as a form of creative renewal. He battles the X-Men on several occasions, viewing them as significant obstacles to his chaotic designs. His appearance is often depicted as a shifting amalgam of various demonic forms, symbolizing his chaotic nature and ability to change shape at will.

I thought he was the Shadow King at first. Thanks Rob.
Yeah ngl I thought the same thing too
Yeah as soon as I saw the red eyes I thought "Shadow King"
I thought it was the Shadow King as Storm has had battles with that character in the 90’s series
Same because who else would come for Storm from the astral realm
He is The Shadow King.
Rob be giving us breakdowns of these characters like we’re going into battle 🤣💯
I mean... weren't we like every episode from go? XD
It is kind of absurd when you think about it. Sometimes I must admit at times I wonder what the hell am I watching. Then I just do not care and let my nerdside go wild. That beast needs to go wild sometimes.
we are...
@@hurmur9528 This is the way
The absence of all that is kind and good, so basically Twitter. 😅. I love it. Keep on being awesome.
Ahahaaaa! I thought I heard that right
That wasn't even funny....
found the twitter user
@@nothx512it is true though as an inhumane shithole
If you follow the wrong people. Too bad Rob is ignorant.
I feel like a junkie waiting for a fix with new episode. LOL. Love show!
Brown same
From the moment a new episode ends, my body automatically goes in detox mode, and I start itchin for the next episode and start googlin the show everyday until the next ep airs lol
Where is Dr Strange when you need him
That's the first thing I said 😂😂😂😂😂. Glad someone was noticing
"Not his show, Bub" - Wolverine
Has he been in the show yet?
Probably off fighting his wife’s uncle Dormammu in his realm. You should always assume they’re off fighting some other threat whenever a non-magic hero is fighting an immense magical threat and it’s not already a team-up story.
Who need a Dr Strange when u have Magik, Storm, Forge, Warpath and Moonstar who will hopefully show up soon. Separate they aren't his equal but combined their magical abilities are more impressive than his. If that's enough just add mutant amplifiers, telepaths and a Phoenix and u have a recipe for vanquishing any demon. Forget the Power of 3 (Charmed). Power of X rules.
I assumed that was just Shadowking using a different name tbh
we'll have to wait and see.
Honestly same
When storm went to Texas, my heart sped up. When I saw the adversary I nearly had a heart attack from joy because I knew where it was going. Fall of the mutants was around the time I first started really getting into comics, so my excitement is over 9,000!! Now I need two more things to happen to complete the cycle, freedom force in some form or other, and the spell that forge cast to end it!!
Outback for season 2. ;)
Man the Adversary and the Fall of Mutants takes me back! Thanks Rob!!!
11:39
Rob back at it again with the twitter shots💥🔫
Thank you for refreshing my memory. I read these issues when I was growing up but it's been a LONG time since.
I had those books, Claremont wrote the best stories. Wish I would've kept up with them...
Ngl, this makes more sense now. Thanks Rob! I am thankful for your knowledge and insight into these characters and stories I never got the chance to read about myself. Madelyn Pryor and now The Adversary. Pretty cool stuff and it makes sense for The Adversary to be involved in a multi-part plot for X-Men '97.
I personally missed these explained videos. Thank you
imho beings like this and the Shadow King should show up as Dr Strange Villains as well as X-men
Thank you for explaining this character! Never heard of it! 🙏
Yay, I was waiting for this. Thank you Rob!!!
I was unaware of the connection between Knull, the Chaos King and Oblivion, thank you for the new perspective.
Literally was waiting on a vid from you about this earlier 🔥
Rob please stop pronouncing Merlin like that please lol
You fool lol now it will be the new gag
I was so confused until this comment 😅
Now he will definitely pronounce it his way for sure.
Episode 4 was mostly throwaway. Just skip to the last 10 minutes of the episode.
The storm and forge stuff was so rushed
Rob remember when you said Disney wouldn’t go dark showing jeans clone selling her soul to demons….. well the ending of that last episode was pretty creepy and dark lol. Hopefully they keep it that way
The horror hallucination anime vibes last two episodes has been great to watch.
@@choppaa4204yes it has, it would be cool if they continued the supernatural side of marvel like blade, MK , dr voodoo in this animation would be cool
Growing up watching X-Men, never knew how deep Marvel went into demonology and Heaven and Hell, God/Satan, good/evil parallels. Being an adult Christian, you understand how much of this stuff written into comics are more than just stories…very deep stuff
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
I Peter 5:8 NKJV
Preach the truth as a kid I wasn't aware of how demonic some these cartoons we're either until watching them recently as an adult
I thought it was the shadow king that popped up just in a different form!
That’s what I was thinking, or at least a messenger
Same here, never even heard of this character unitll now.
Prolly right
Sort of but not really but all part of the same shadow
Did i miss somewhere that Rob was going on vacation? I can wait for the stories, I'm just hoping Rob is all good and it is something fun and he is enjoying his life as much as i enjoy having his stories in my life. I have been listening to this channel almost daily for 7-8 years and if anyone has ever deserved a good life for the services they provide its Rob
Thanks for explaining this! I have vast Marvel comics knowledge, but you're the master!
I totally forgot about the Adversary storyline in the comics. Thanks for the reminder.
I totally loved reading about the Adversary
Yo rob can you give us a video on the magical community in the marvel universe breakdown.
This makes me very nostalgic for the 1980s X Men when i was collecting Marvel Comics on a regular basis..👑
You my friend are the BEST storyteller of all time!
i love that the show is exploring this little known bit about Forge's past.
Dead ass watched this before episode 4 your awesome dude
Happy birthday bro
The Shadow King Bub
I remember those comics well. They lead into Gateway and the Xmen in the Outback. Great stuff for anyone who hasn't read them.
Shadow King and the Adversary may be one and the same since they were created by Chris Claremont who is known for such plot twists.
This is cool.. The only thing I want to know is how long you were sitting on this trying to come up with a title. Like everything else.. I figure you knew you need to make this last week.. But that title, man.. I was actually hoping right after I saw X-man 97 you talk about the Adversary because I always thought Storm only faced the shadow king.
He hit us with a zinger at the end 😂
Did you see Baston in the photo with Forge? Can’t wait to see him fully in the show.
This show is awesome!!!
I wanna see the Outback X-Men team! That roster? What?! That roster was SO OP that they were just broken, absolutely broken! That roster, as Rob would say, was: "A HOSS!"
It included: Psylocke (before being kidnapped and having her mind/body switched w/a Japanese assassin Kwannon), Longshot, Dazzler, Banshee, Wolverine, Jubilee, Polaris, Havok, Colossus, Forge & was led by Storm
Thank you this was super helpful. Another reason for me to read Outback X-Men. I had also heard that the Shadow King had been revealed to be part of some pantheon so this clears things up.
@4:37 The Fall of "The" Mutants, Rob. 😉
Most villains in comic are OP plot powered, but leave it to Rob to EXPLAIN it all. I love your channel over the years @Rob!!!
Glad I’m not the only who thought that was as the Shadow King
Thanks
Nazé is pronounced Naw-zay. Great job explaining, like always, Rob! Best on the RUclipss.
I always thought it was Nahz-eh. Truly semantics I guess but we might be nitpicking at this point. If you’re Cheyenne, well met Friend; I’m Ojibwe. Maybe that is why we are pronouncing it differently
When that giant owl showed up I said the shadow king fuck and my wife was like but Xavier is gone and she doesn't have her powers.
I take it that the Adversary is completely different from the Shadow King
Hasbro actually owns the Dire Wraiths, their the arch enimes of Rom the Space Knight
The adversary vs mad Jim Jaspers!
4:45
yooo I remember that Phalanx-lookin guy in front of Reed Rich! i had his trading card, it said "deceased", like Morph's card....what is that guy's name?
I would've loved to have seen your live reaction to 97 ep5.
I'm glad we are talking about X-men when they were stilll interesting and actually acting like heroes again.
so is the sentry’s void also connected to the shadow king like the adversary? or are those oblivion’s domain?
I think Forge has the same power as Sylar from Heroes. Or, at least, it’s a variation of those powers.
Not really, Sylar was able to "see" how the powers worked through examination of the brain. Forge is able to conceive anything and make it real. Millions of miles ahead of Sylar
😂😂😂"Twitter".😂😂😂
Nice
At 3:55 there's a typo in the bottom left panel. Yes I'm that sad 😅
The Shadow King says he can’t take credit for being each of the forces that he masqueraded as in Resurrection of Magneto but they are all similar.
They’re all different yet similar in what Shadow King was getting at.
The was nice meeting you today at the Restaurant
I finished the episode like 4 hours ago and immediately said alright Rob where's my explanation video of who this is
Shadow king is dope.
Then my question is who is more powerful, oblivion or shadow king?
I love how the show is doing what the original cartoon did and adapt the comics so new fans can start reading the different stories
Oh and Stryfe was the only mutant baddie as compelling as Magneto
So Rob....where does the Adversary and Shadow King, scale against Mephisto?
I wonder if the Siege Perilous will come into play.
The Lifefeath story? The first appearance of Forge, I believe .
The adversary yes!!.. I hope the battle in Dallas and the starlight citadel takes place. This would involve the x-men, storm, forge and magdalene pryor who could take the form of Roma.
😂 the end
Remember it.
Isn't Roma the one from those old Marvel Cards who had all 7's? I could easily be thinking of someone else but I seem to remember her stats being crazy
I thought storm has some mystical power from her grandmother.
Maybe it can be helpful fighting the adversary or shadow king
Do days of future present 💯
Twitter being possessed by the Shadow King would explain the rebranding.
ROB thank you salute
What was the valley in the episode like a mountain or a hill that looked like black panther
Loved the " so basically twitter" part 😂
Chris Claremont was really out here making OP characters every arc of his run. I swear lmao
Finally made it with less then 100 comment! lol. Always love your stuff and you haved saved me a ton of $ in buying the comics myself. You make the stories so much funer to just listen to!.
Damn twitter got me 😂
Ah, the days of Rogue’s giant Wolverine hairstyle.
5:15... that picture on the right with all those faces it disturbing as fuck.
Mignola art @ 1:23 !
Ghost Rider would help adversary finish with the rest of his living quick
11:39 😆😅🤣😂🤣😅😆😁
Excellent analysis as ever. Thank you for the walk down classic memory lane 😊 make mine Marvel!
Ohhh HELLL YEA.. I Was asking for this on the discord!
I immediately googled him cause he didn’t say shadow king
The Adversary storyline is what brought about X-force the real X-force, the first X-force. Best ever, that and the whole original Excalibur run. Best original X titles. The Adversary was never forgotten.
X-Force came much later. The other X teams of the time were X-Factor and the New Mutants, but they were already around. Then Excalibur came after they died.
@@LeVidocq yeah but what I'm saying is this is the transitional period where New Mutants wrapped up their storylines prior to the issue 99 transition and this is also the storyline that truly introduced Cable.
@@oakharborben I would say that was Inferno, which ended Illyana's story and then was in a weird space for awhile before the transition to X-Force. Cable didn't show up til 1990.
Omg if the three part ending is Fall of The Mutants i’ll lose my mind!!
This is a great way to introduce the X-Men into the MCU. They were protected by Roma.
I was hoping for the Shadow King. But I was also hoping Storm would end up in Wakanda to get her powers back
“So basically Twitter”😅😂
Excuse the geek moment here but I think another way of putting is that the ShadowKing is like DnD dragon god Tiamat. Each of the heads has it's own personality and desires but all stem from the body. Shadow king could be just another head or the body itself, while Adversary is clearly a head.
I'm so impressed with how X-Men 97 is coming along.... It's been amazing so far
Hey Rob, can you explain:
Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics)
So Shadow King is Annihilation, The Adversary and who else are the rest?
💙 good to see other level 50's doing their part
