Richard Rider: "You have a Phanlanx Warlock, I got a Phalanx Warlock. Now what? Square up!"

[@YaretziaGarcia]

If Adam Warlock becomes Ultron in the MCU that’s gonna be insane

[@editsbybrycet186]

I think the MCU actually did a great thing by showing people how capable Ultron is in What If?. That whole series was kind of a reminder that “we have to make more Avengers movie, don’t forget how capable Ultron is.”

[@ghosttaki8547]

That picture of Ultron will always be my fav.

[@nobalkain624]

The most important thing this Event gave us... Ultrons most Badass look to date.

[@antiadvent4878]

I love how Adam Warlocks plans are always about the long game

[@patrickowens4294]

Yes. One of the cool things about the character.

[@Orbknight]

Why was Rob talking about Drax being in this? Don't see him anywhere on the pages.

[@trevorghalt1881]

This story was fun, short but fun also I'm glad Drax use his invisibility and Warlock got some love

[@saludiacable]

Been waiting for this so bad.. thanks Rob for all you do!!

[@kdzmuzo]

Every year over the holidays, Rob takes a well earned break (usually) and this brings us an epic tale to get us thru. Thanks Rob!

[@weesebowski8651]

Bring Ultron Back! 🦾 “Captain America pretending you could live without a war, I can’t physically throw up in my mouth… “ Ultron - 😂👏🏽

[@EntinludeX]

Okay I need a copy of this. I had no idea Adam Warlock & selfWarlock had ever met.

[@primordialious6945]

Rob: It’s crazy how powerful the sentries are. Me: There’s more than one of him?

[@lorzon]

I just want to say that Phyla's costume is snazzy as hell.

[@seanmclaughlin9638]

Drax is only invisible when eating nuts very slowly

[@jaeusa160]

Batista's Drax might be my favorite MCU character. XD

[@Sextistsheep]

@@jaeusa160 agreed

[@saltidog86]

I wish the Magus would have awakened when Ultron took over and just pulverized him. Just turn it into a mini Dark Siege climax where the Magus just burst out like a secret endgame boss.

[@jpistolas]

I'm always happy to see Warlock (X-Men) in a non X story.

[@ethanbrunt7755]

Beyond omega level: icon from dc

[@Nimrod336]

They did a mini comic of dark hawk and Dan wrote it. I think it was a test to see if anyone would read it. I loved the idea of him coming back to marvel cosmic....but they didn't do anything with it. The raptors where cool but idk what happened to them

[@julianrhodes9683]

Random thought: Ultron vs. Nimrod would be a sweet fight

[@D-MF-L]

Rah-Nin kills me every time you say Ronan. Might as well say Ro-Nan. Ronan. Just say it fast!

[@tomaszkubala6266]

The artwork is amazing in these comics

[@Sextistsheep]

I have an idea for a video series! Irredeemable and incorruptible is a fresh universe that you could get a lot from. With invincible and the boys being popular these might scratch that itch for people. Heirborne will also be good. Source: I can tell the future

[@lightlox]

Rob... I have a question. maybe it's been answered somewhere but Ultron vs Nimrod?

[@cattameme]

Uses giant spirit bomb sword to kill Ultron *rolls eyes*

[@kylecollins3755]

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. Please do a top 20 most powerful DC characters hierarchy, and then compare it to your Marvel hierarchy.

[@Mista.Sir.]

Thankyou Rob I wondering if this Phalanx was the same as from The XMen run

[@bl0unt]

I think it would be cool if the MCU decided Adam Warlock also was snapped for 5 years and absorbed/learned some of the energy and ways of the Soul Stone while he was there. That way he has a cosmic-conscience prior to him “hatching”.

[@yoyomayne]

Ahh Drax and his Invisibility

[@____2080_____]

This is the problem with Ultron that guy realize that marvel comics writers never take a vantage of, but if I could dust up, my old passion would definitely take a vantage of: I would have him keep that unbreakable metal shell of himself, and simply take over the consciousness of Adam warlock and still control my body where the writers write themselves out of holes by having his confidence jump out of the metal body in until the organic one. Adamantium is a hell of a lot durable. Then the genetically engineer guy could ever hope to be.

[@____2080_____]

And… No. Ultron is not more powerful using the body of Adam warlock whatever ad hoc powers a writer can dream up and draw up then it was using that unbreakable metal deck, a survive the mighty Thors god blast, and is impervious to damage, as well as having his robotic shields block pretty much most things. But, marvel is going to marvel, and they already have their escape hatch for the story

[@swng314]

This is the story that made Phyla-Vell cool

[@torresgary4912]

I listen to your vids and visualize everything. You're such a great storyteller 🔥. Keep up the good work

[@ROBERTDAVis2271]

Great post 👍🏿

[@blackman3496]

Rob ... don’t you EVER apologize for a cliffhanger 😡 😂😂🤣✊🏾💯

[@7ropz]

Shout out from Brazil Rob! Much love and respect!

[@arthurdotson9579]

Rob. At 1:40-1:55, you say that in previous appearances, there's no link or relation between the Technarchy and Phalanx. This is untrue. If you go back and read these for context: -The 1994 X-Men crossover story, Phalanx Covenant. -Then the later story arc in Uncanny X-Men (Vol 1, issues 341-344) around 1995-1996, between Age of Apocalypse but before Onslaught, where a team of X-Men go off into space to save the Shi'Ar from a different group of space Phalanx (possibly the precursor to the Annihilation Conquest group). -Then after all of that read the Warlock comic series from Marvel's M-Tech sub-imprint from around 1999, which brings all of this together and explains what the Phalanx really is (may have mentioned this in the Phaanx Covenant, but it becomes key to the story here). Warlock picks up after the final issues of Excaliber and a story arc where Douglock finally realizes he is Warlock and always has been (and is written by Louise Simonson who worked on the character originally in New Mutants before he was killed and she left the series not long afterwards and they became X-Force), and then he goes off on his own mission, left vague at first. The reader soon realizes Warlock is hunting down various forms of the Technarchy transmode virus on Earth, and finding various factions trying to utilize it for various purposes (power), and he's trying to eliminate it all, and makes a few new friends along the way, and starts reconnecting with Wolfsbane too. Warlock finally tells his group of friends/comrades/heroes that if the transmode virus is left undealt with, it will create a Babel Spire, which will summon the Technarchy, who will absorb all the life energy of the planet and all life on Earth will end. They ask why. He explains that when the Technarchy come to a world with life, sometimes they leave samples of the transmode virus behind by accident, and they usually do not want this to happen, because some race could harness it and eventually have power that rivals the Technarchy... (For context: when Warlock first appeared in New Mutants, he was flying through space trying to evade and outrun Magus, his father. At one point Magus caught up to Warlock, grabbed a star, rips it in half and throws one of the halves at Warlock, who immediately went back into FTL flight and left, winding up on Earth, vastly depleted of power. Warlock, if he absorbed enough "lifeglow" using the transmode virus, could eventually have such power for himself at the expense of entire races, like Magus and other Technarchy do. this kind of power is show front and center in Annihiliation Conquest when Richard Rider encounters Warlock and the baby and adult Technarch on their homeworld, and the battle that ensued) ...so the Technarchy have a code of some kind in the transmode virus. Any techno-organic beings that are created from it not of the Technarchy eventually feel a compulsion to create a babel Spire to summon the Technarchy, and they cannot usually resist this. The Technarchy see all forms of the Phalanx as an accident, as food, and ultimately as waste and refuse and leftovers that need to be cleaned up and eradicated. If a Babel Spire brings the technarchy to a world with "lifeglow", their "food', then that's just an added bonus. The Warlock series is about Warlock hunting down these portions of trransmode virus and either reabsorbing them into himself or destroying them to prevent all of this from happening, BUT, eventauuly Magus does return and they have to fight him again, which is how Magus is made into an infant form and left in the bottom of the ocean, to be found by Elias later in the X-Force comic where the X-Force team is formed under Wolverine. Also in the Warlock series, Magus returns to Earth because A Babel Spire does get formed. It was made by the head of Bastion being dug up and found (again), having the transmode virus introduced to it, and things pop off from there. *WHEW!!!*

[@esrohm6460]

i like how this was adam warlock becomes ultron and then immediately seizes to be because otherwise we would be able to tell a compelling story that wouldn't end in and then ultron killed everyone and won the end

[@patrickowens4294]

Any chance of covering "War of Kings"?

[@M888HGAAAWNKLMTOZLNLSSSKKHHZBB]

OH MAN MY UPGRADES JUST KEEP HITTING

[@reignmanss]

Drax is invisible LOL Nice!

[@nicestguy1]

really cool!

[@MisterRorschach90]

Could Joey Gutierrez from agents of shield defeat ultron? It’s impossible for metal to hurt him. He completely controls it. Even on a more extreme scale than magneto. He can instantly change the size, shape, phase state, density, and temperature of metal with his mind. He can instantly melt a metal filing cabinet and compress it into a sphere. Couldn’t he just look at ultron and turn him into a ball of adamantium? Or does ultron have some way to get around powers like this?

[@professormoo2]

good question bc i don’t even know and i’m a comic freak and LOVED AoS

[@jaeusa160]

@16:55 Is Drax being "invisible" a MCU joke or is that MCU joke based on something from the comics?

[@tellyastraight5619]

Mcu

[@ROSPoetry1]

MCU did it first lol

[@jammbbs1688]

I want you to do the annihilation series why have you not covered it yet!!!

[@tellyastraight5619]

Ikr 😢

[@freydawg56]

Drax did nothing. That's why he's invisible. Ggwp

Richard Rider was done so dirty with that name 😂

[@fernandoorozco5968]

[@anthonyhudak9363]

Despite Wraith's fate in the Venom book, I'd really want to see more stuff with him in the future cause I just really enjoy his character especially in his Annihilation Conquest book where the Phalanx were established to fear him

lol, guess that is where trunks got the idea from in the goku black arc for the spirit sword XD 15:46

[@chinahall1380]

Hey Rob👏🏾

[@Raumes513]

Warlock was in xmen the animated series right? I remember seeing something similar to him not sure if it was that or some random episode of something on KZbin lol.

[@fornax4676]

If Ultron was trying to go organic, the Eternals would also make for valuable targets.

[@dmarioisajerk]

I have always loved WARLOCK since i first saw him in New Mutants and that was further codified with New Mutants Annual #3. I have a framed sketch drawn and signed by Alan Davis i got waiting HOURS at a con. Seeing him along side Adam Warlock is wild.

[@chapstick4yacoochielips]

When will you review Larry Stromans Tribes?

[@devilmandiavolo2876]

I just realized that this version of the Guardians is the one the was used on Earth’s Mightiest Heroes

[@WickedClownCarnival]

Now that you're done with this, do Universe X.

[@daniloafeliciano]

What year were these comics? The late 90’s right?

[@komitadji]

Didn't the Phalanx race look totally different prior to Annihilation? - The Phalanx Covenant crossover had a whole bunch of techno-organic phalanx human hybrids that looked like Warlock then a few years later (uncanny x-men 344 or thereabouts) several x-men encountered the phalanx parent race in the phalanx invasion of the Shi'ar empire where the Phalanx were a bipedal alien race that could infect biological races with the techno-organic virus. Now the Phalanx look completely different again. What's up with that Rob?

[@danielkennedy8843]

I know Rob has always said he would be a villain in real life and yes its like the 3rd or 4th video in this series, but,......it's been long enough. It's time for the Midtown High Alums, and proud residence of Queens to put a stop to Rob's villainous butchery of Ronan's name. It's pronounced Row-nuhn, not Raw-nin. Yeah,...the universe feels like a better place now. Now,.. how about covering some TopCow series?

Do war for heaven next would be cool

[@lostapostle76]

Jycosta has been relevant in Machine Man and the IronMan 2020 storyline.

[@Mike__B]

I mean all comic stories are essentially MacGuffin devices, Ultron's "spirit" being able to flee? Exqueezeme? The angrier Hulk gets the stronger he gets, and stronger, and stronger and stronger, and oh yeah he wipes out the entire Universe and prevents a new one from forming.

[@aaronbrown9110]

Me never reading a comic. 1 infinity war vs age of ultron? 2 would you have preferred ultron defeating the avengers over Thanos(+black order) in the mcu?

[@jasonguinn6075]

[@M888HGAAAWNKLMTOZLNLSSSKKHHZBB]

I THINK ROB IS GONNA GO ON A LONG VACATION SOON. I BELIEVE THERES SOME ISSUES WITH PLAYSTATIONS THAT HE NEEDS TO WORK OUT WITH THE AUTHORITIES.

[@joshkizurchin]

any relation to technovore?

[@rogerhull2062]

[@livestreamgaming420]

Ultron was on the internet for a minute and realized that humanity is bad

[@KuramaKitsune1]

Yeah that.. that tracks.

[@KamiTenchi]

Yup. I think he saw everything in the dark web.

[@M888HGAAAWNKLMTOZLNLSSSKKHHZBB]

HELL YEAH! ROB IS MY MAIN MAN!!!

[@totomomo18]

I think the all idea of Ultron is stupid a robot which is so OP . It is just like DC Amazo

[@iamjohnhenry]

It's obvious that Ultron is intelligent because he's voiced by James Spader

[@cattameme]

PYMTRON still the best Ultron Fusion

[@buildaggedonarmanaziie4462]

I still don't really like how robots like Ultron come from Earth, and he is the strongest or most advanced robot in all of the universe, like I would accept that if he had some extraterrestrial technologies integrated into him

[@Reedviper]

retarded? it was a mix of tonys AI & mind stone scepters AI

[@joneshugh]

Does this means Thanos will show? Adam are Thanos are linked somewhat and outside the influences of Chaos/Order

[@dashfatbastard]

Wait...I thought he'd been fused with Hank Pym...

[@mangareader7474]

So does that mean he’s not with hank Pym anymore cause is he dead
