X2 (Early Access)
Added 2024-03-17 01:42:08 +0000 UTCHappy Saturday!
As we dive deeper into the X-Men world, things get more intense! A new villain named Stryker is introduced...and I got him confused with Strucker from the MCU. 😂 I thought this was the same guy who was a Hydra terrorist. Whoops! Stryker (not Strucker) starts a full-out assault on Professor Xavier's school.

That is the comics. Of course the MCU and XMen universes are separate, and only via the multiverse will they ever cross over.

2024-03-27 13:03:43 +0000 UTCI’ll probably take some flak for this, but on your comment about ‘remembering’ Stryker ‘from the MCU,’ one thing you should remember is that, though today, you’re aware of the corporate history of the X-Men & MCU Universe, but both X-Men and all the characters and groups you’re aware of as ‘the MCU,’ were all published under Marvel. Our boy Stan was intimately involved with all of them. Beyond that, within the Marvel world, everybody runs into everybody else, sooner or later. I’m going from decades old memory but I’m pretty sure the X-Men fought Loki. I’m very sure the Avengers fought Magneto. It was pretty rare but certain X-Men would be Avengers for a couple of editions. On a long enough timeline in the comic book universe, you end up meeting everybody. I do remember certain very special occasions where you’d get some cross-pollination with DC. It’s way before your time but after all the famous singers did ‘We Are the World’ for famine relief all kinds of well-meaning and effective copycats sprang up. I’m 99% sure, someone please correct me, that DC and Marvel did one or more super special crossover comics, the proceeds to benefit famine relief. I think they had a comic where each page was illustrated by one artist, though there’d be, say, Batman and Vision racing down some hallway to do battle. I remember each artist did a page and you could totally see the different styles of the different artist. I remember reading about the DC artists going, “You can’t draw a bad Captain America! It’d be disrespectful!” The Marvel artists expressing similar views about Superman and Batman. A very collegial effort between two groups that normally battled every month for readership. The issue I bought was on the theme of famine and overcoming a villain that used famine as a weapon or something.

2024-03-20 02:45:26 +0000 UTCSo, I just watched a documentary about Viking berserkers. This is a very intelligent group so we’re all familiar with the idea; going into battle….. looks like he’s got Alka Seltzer tablets coming out his mouth…… naked from the waist up. Yes, battle, no Alka Seltzer, naked very debatable. However, I did not know that in all the sagas, the sources, accompanying all these feats is always the post-script, “…..and then he turned that on his own people, his friends, his family.” It’s literally always there. I remember reading X-Men as a kid and I remember how descriptive they were of Logan’s ‘berserker rages,’ they’d draw him like a hunch-backed, fangs bared, definitely sub-human. They put that in the scene where he stabs Rogue in the movie
