[@jorgecarbajal8076]

2:47 Morph is shocked at being called Banshee. 4:38 is a legitimate reaction to 4:28 Anyway, X-Force and the New Mutants are my favorite alternate X-Men teams.

[@juice26usus16]

Was thinking the same thing about Morph. Had to rewind it a couple of times.

[@blakeallen391]

Lol I was wondering if anyone else caught that llol😂

[@jessemillan1385]

My favorite alternate versions of The X-Men are Classic X-Men, Days of Future Past, Age of Apocalypse, X-Factor, Astonishing X-Men, and Ultimate X-Men.

[@brucelau2023]

Man I really just hope that they pay respect to the original members give them their due in the MCU

[@isaiah839]

I didnt know iceman,angel,and beast were og members. Hope they get the respect they deserve in the mcu

[@kulikevl5312]

I need a breakdown of Marvel Noir. The story from shattered dimensions just had me.

[@donjoel6754]

Gotta love the X-Men. They made my childhood.

[@Dr.Serious1970]

Hey Arris,a great episode. I was in my twenties and besides btas,this was my favorite 90s cartoon. How about a history of x factor,there was the original team then a team that took on professor hulk. Thanks and stay nerdy.

[@impalascholar]

Ever time I watch I’m blown away by content.

[@ericnancy4385]

Can you please do a history of Magneto?👍

[@djofftheshit]

Would honestly love a story where someone like Xavier teams up with someone like Striker. Regardless of his morality, Xavier is pretty much a mad scientist

[@bryanboatwright1671]

Magik once encountered an X-Men team where Wolverine did not have adamantium laced bones.

[@kingdon7795]

Which issue

[@lorddarthbeast1691]

Wolverine Deadpool Gambit Magneto Nightcrawler and Beast are the ones can't wait to see in the MCU

[@geekish1290]

Banshee? Was that not a picture of Morph from the 90's animated series?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What would happen if we saw these alternate versions of the X-men on the Big Screen or TV Shows?

[@blkpanther11]

Actually They Should Do It

[@jessegardener5696]

We have the first X-Men didn't have the original people in it and then we had the second one where they had the original X-Men the origins but Mystique was never end the X-Men into the early 2000s Axew Mystique as old as Wolverine

[@romeyrome32]

It would do incredibly well especially the darker persona versions.

[@nathaniel3867]

It would sell maybe more movies or better yet we need an Xmen game. I’m excited for Insomniac Marvel Game for Wolverine

[@Gxuice]

They'd all get gender swaped and say snarky, non impressive political commentary for all their lines.

[@deanbritton1962]

I’m pretty sure you quoted banshee but it was a frame of morph from the animated series

[@pious83]

Given the expression on Morph's face, it was an intentional gag.

[@deanbritton1962]

@@pious83 my bad then I must have missed gag

[@pious83]

@@deanbritton1962 It's also a running gag within X-Men itself. That Banshee is a joke.

[@joshuaa2278]

Every version is cool imo.

[@smhgaming3259]

Xmen evolutions was dope

[@icdeadpipol]

nice adaption along with Wolverine and the X-Men. Sadly both got cancelled waaaay too early (was hoping for the planned Dark Phoenix teased on the ending).

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of Cyclone, Rhino, Sandman, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Kurt Connors the Lizard. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Who do you think is the best member from each of these alternate versions of the X-men?

[@alfonsopina3976]

1:19 that explains what Made The X-Men wear all-Black Jumpsuit in the X-men Trilogy

[@anispidey]

Actually ultimate X-men started after the first movie and the artist used the movie suits as inspiration for their ultimate uniforms.

[@blakeallen391]

Evil Professor X looks like a clean cut Hugo Strange lol

[@whalecove1283]

Amazing episode, had the first Claremont edition, loved my Merry Mutants from way, way back. Thanks for showing a picture of the King, Kirby was a genius

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do a versus video between DC Legion of Superheroes and Marvel X-men? Which super-powered team is better?

[@Cervando]

It's amazing how many of the LoS inspired Marvel characters.

[@K0n0ne]

Didn’t know Banshee looked like Morph 😂

[@sipioc]

2:46 That’s Morph not Banshee. If you all want to know how a faithful adaptation of X-men starting with the original class: Check out the X-Men Audio drama here on KZbin. I recently found it and for a fan project it’s solid and very true to the comics.

[@knighthawksuperhero]

I know you couldn’t cover them all but my favorite squad was the Outback X-Men, so I’m giving them some love!

[@tonynietobarrera9185]

My 2 favorite versions of the X-Men are 2099 version and the original version.

[@anispidey]

6:07 not gonna lie Noir Prof. X kinda looks like Hugo Strange to me a little bit which fits in this case haha.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Which one of these alternate versions of the X-men do you want should appear in the MCU before the X-men themselves through Multiverse traveling?

[@KidGravityBeyond]

X-Force, or "Age of Apocalypse X-Men" thanks to Kang explaining what the future holds.

[@tehSkinny1]

2:47 THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, MORPH!!!

[@dynamitewithalaserbeam4021]

Quentin fogger and his infinite number of questions

[@pious83]

Indeed. The resident Spam Bot...

[@quentinfogger5755]

How do you think Marvel is going to introduce the X-men and their Mutant kind in the MCU? What would happen if some of the Mutants like Namor the Submariner, Quicksilver and Scarlet_Witch getting their powers in an unimaginable way instead of being born with powers?

[@ishaanarora9113]

How would vampire Wolverine even work? Wolverine's healing would cure him of whatever a vampire bite would do to him. I think the writers just forgot that his healing factor works on more than just his skin.

[@virtualrealityfitness283]

Silver age X-men started it all!!

[@pious83]

Yeah. The Original Five were the first team. But the Second Genesis gave the X-men their popularity and long lasting appeal.

[@des13n]

Oh man, would love to see a review on TMNT: The Last Ronin Lost years. The 4 new turtles, Odin, Uno, Moja and Yi!!

[@cklambo]

Exiles is my fave x-men team.

[@deadwingdomain]

I was a fan of the Blue Team, Gold Team sets of members. Along with X Factor...

[@omarbrooks9265]

The X men are such a great group of characters

[@KingDaequann]

Happy you’re doing this today arris , I’m really a Comic junkie Seriously , & Damn look at that different magneto suit

[@quentinfogger5755]

How long till you do history of the Thunderbolts team and the Young Avengers since they're slowly forming in the MCU?

[@brianblache4086]

AOA all day any day

[@sath2749]

My favorite story is the age of Apocalypse. I liked the ultimate X-Men in the beginning then they started killing everything. I didn't understand it. Though it is not a comic I also really liked the X-Men Evolution cartoon because it put them back in school. The X-Men started as a teen comic book. It made sense to grow, but truly most other comic books don't. So, I enjoyed the school being the center of their story.

[@sonbroly2888]

That theme is legendary ❤️💜❤️💜💪🤘💯

[@darkstardarin]

Bruh did you show Morph when you mentioned Banshee? XD

[@quentinfogger5755]

So how long till you do history of Arno_Stark Iron Man, Ezekiel Stane, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, War Machine and Pepper Potts AKA Rescue?

[@Lio032980]

X-Treme X-Men was a favorite of mine. Too bad it didn't make the cut.

[@rubyrubio3970]

Do history of ghost (dark horse) judge dredd vamperelle Cassie hack and zorro

[@djtripmix]

Thanks for the info

[@calvinbethea3369]

I would take the anime line up of Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Armor, Emma Frost and switch out Beast for Nightcrawler.

[@ggt47]

I hope the orignal 5 get their due day and respect in the MCU.

[@pious83]

I'd hope so too. But it is doubtful. Considering Wolverine is already being attached to casting rumours. It's ironic to think the Original Five has never had their own TV series or film.

[@ggt47]

@@pious83 Yes. Because X-Men are an allegory for race sexuality". And the original 5 bar Bobby do not fit into that. Because white/straight people never suffer in life. And as well people think the "better" X-Men is giant sized onwards. We barely get any original 5 stories. The closet we got was X-Men the last stand. If James Marsden was not in Superman returns...- Well,in my own marvel universe I am currently writing the original 5 are integral to their universe for different reasons. And one big reason. I could tell you if you like or leave it be I wrote enough of a comment.

[@ggt47]

@@pious83 Also in my version Angel is cool. And has a healing factor and can heal others. Makes a bit more essential to the team. I took the worst thing from the Austen run and made it a decent power. Except it is energy based not needing to bleed on anyone

[@pious83]

@@ggt47 *_Mutants_* are an allegory for the oppressed minorities, not the X-Men specifically. The difference between the Original Five and Second Genesis was apparent before and without Bendis' retcon of Iceman's orientation. The Original Five book wasn't interesting until towards the very end of it's run. Hence why it was cancelled. The characterisation was just really dull until Lee left the book. Meanwhile, the Second Genesis were all really interesting and dynamic characters from the inception of Giant Size #1. Personally, of the two options. I would have preferred to read more of Thunderbird and let Colossus be the one who died. But I understand that the Native American was more controversial to an American writer than a Russian, during the Cold War era.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Since you did history of Marvel's Black Knight, Can you do history of Marvel's Dreadknight? If you seen the recent episodes of season 7 of the Flash, can you do history of Impulse, XS, Psych, Fuerza, Steadfast, Chillblaine, Abracadabra, Rainbow Raider, Mirror Master and Top in your next video?

[@anthonyibanez980]

Brother !!!! You said banshee but showed Morph that’s suppose to be Wolverines brother from the tv show he can shape shift to anybody.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?

[@mrmysterious8124]

Can you look at the History and Origins of The Brain from Teen Titans/Doom Patrol🧠🤖

[@ShaggyWanderer]

Was hoping u would’ve listed the member in each team but decent video

[@Warlock11206]

I love new mutants and X-Men 2099

[@quentinfogger5755]

What do you think is the best thing about these alternate versions of the X-men compared to the X-men themselves? Which one of their powers and abilities do you think is the best?

[@Madmage4]

You missed X-Factor! The best X-Men team

[@ll7868]

Cable didn't form X-Force, the original team were the original 5 X-Men who apprehended mutants for the government, sort of like a mutant police force when regular cops couldn't bring in a super powered mutant. Cable was leader of The New Mutants when their book was cancelled and they all became Cable's X-Force team when the original 5 X-Force rejoined the X-Men's Blue & Gold teams.

[@anispidey]

You're thinking of X-factor. That was what they were called when the original five X-men got back together.

[@kingshadow8782]

Cool

[@danelamoreaux4166]

Age of Apocalypse is my favorite(second is X-Men 2099)

[@odizm5196]

talk abort Banshee and Morph from the 90's animated series unless i missed something an error been made

[@catman2278]

please do a history of El Diablo

[@soopamyko]

X MEN 92 OG THE BEST

[@joeygarsone7575]

2:47 isnt that morph from the 90’s show? Not Banshee

[@kingshadow8782]

Yesss

[@darklightuk2]

Well that video felt a cop outr ... many of these not quite alternate versions of the 'XMEN'# team I'd say - 1602 AoA x-men X-men noir Dark Xmen Ultimate X-Men different enough feel I'll also include Grant Morrisons' New X-Men

[@quentinfogger5755]

When are you going to do history of Clea, America-Chavez, Speed and Wiccan in honour of the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?

[@ionicreviews]

my favorite are Astonishing, 1602, Mangaverse,

[@chameleon728]

No savage lands? Sir you wound me

[@retrobrian1]

You called Morph Banshee 🤓

[@juliusforde8997]

Love content ..you messed up bro you put a pic of morph and called hom Banshee

[@alanobrien9362]

Dear American people it is not Mark feckin Milllaahh!! it's Mark Millar as in in person who works in a Mill.

[@laemert09]

Are you guys going to finish the DC vampire elseworld saga with Nightwing being the leader of the vampires

[@tonypaciorek5345]

Edit Note morph isn't banshee

[@robertwylie-pugh2830]

Brings me sadness seeing this, had the complete uncanny xmen collection and had the first 3 issues stolen from me 20 years ago. Still turns my stomach thinking of it.

[@martinbauzon7450]

who thinks emma frost and scott summers is a better pair than scott and jean?

[@KidGravityBeyond]

X-Force MCU series, please

[@ultimatekpit42]

The funny thing is X-Men babies should’ve been changed to X-Men Chibi would work better in my opinion

[@braylonb5363]

When you said banshee you showed morph

[@rachelskit]

My major criticism of this video is that uncanny avengers/avengers unity squad, comprises of mutants, avengers, and Inhumans! Sorry, but I’m a huge Inhumans fan and I hate it when they get dismissed

[@philipsmith228]

Damn I thought I was first haha 28 seconds must be too slow haha 😂

[@BlueBeetle1939]

Gor me it's Xtreme Xmen really hard to beat general howlett gold claw wolverine and commando dazzler

[@robertnewell4054]

X•Men & Meself were born the same month & year - September 1963 ….’Nuff Said!!

[@ItalianStallionaire]

Wasn’t the a pic of morph not banshee?

[@Cornyboa]

how powerful and history of captain atom?

[@AYdubs19]

It's just been 1 min yayayaaayayyayy

[@ajeshnilata1540]

I'm waiting for the fall of X this summer 2023

[@AdvancedLiving]

Damn. You described X-Force but left out Peter…

[@pious83]

I'll always have a soft spot for the AoA X-Men(the '95 original, not the cash cows). They fought against impossible odds to save reality. Albeit they all died in the process...

[@nickpeterson6589]

You forgot X-Men Evolution

[@williamcruz2119]

I’m an extreme x-men fan

[@dfernandez3482]

I liked Dark X-Men 👍

[@Aragorn7884]

*X-Men 2099* 🤔🤷

[@Nightwing83]

The 6 from mutant x

[@toomuchppl]

Wolverine and the x men

[@Jrsw82]

Glad you mentioned X-Force but you forgot X-Factor 🤦

[@AshmiXx]

nice

[@richmarrero1313]

Says banshee shows Morph lol

[@Biggsbeverly87]

X-babies?!!? Lol 😂... speaking of x-men 92: don't forget that the same art style is coming back with a new season on Disney plus
