[@DementedDistraction]

Omega Red was always one of my favorite X-villains - I loved how he was one of the few characters who could truly go toe-to-toe with Wolverine, and as a result you could really see those two characters cut loose.

[@AifDaimon]

I mean, fighting Logan for over 17 hours & still barely breaking a sweat while Logan was surprisingly left exhausted and defeated!? Even Dazzler described Red as an Omega Level mutant just because of the potency of his pheromones

[@soulassassin0g]

This guy was slept on during the MVC (Marvel vs Capcom) era, he was truly an underrated GOAT.

[@datt5698]

He was one of my favorite characters to play as... along with venom and hulk.

[@LastNameTom]

This dude and Apocalypse are my two favorite bad guys.

[@colinwoonsue]

Mine too!!😊

[@kwilcox417]

Always liked his character design, now I know enough about him to continue appreciating him. Thanks Rob, this was a good one!

[@kalwiggy]

"Comics are becoming more family friendly" *Reads Immortal Hulk* "That's a fucked up family"

[@arkinyte13]

Disney made an agreement that they wouldn’t interfere with the mature content of the comics. The MCU however, doesn’t count until Punisher and Deadpool are released before that it was pg 13 all the way.

[@BanksyMane]

Exactly. The comics don't seemed toned down at all to me. It just depends on what books you're reading. Even Omega Red murdered a group of people recently in the Wolverine book, so I don't know what Rob's talkin about.

[@zackknowles3841]

[@colinwoonsue]

I’ve been saying they should make a Disney+ anthology series of Wolverine through the years(like every episode happens a decade apart). What they should have is a two part part of the series devoted to Team X and Omega Red’s hunt for the Carbonadium Synthesizer

[@mthippiedaisey5211]

My favorite villain I loved him In the 90s cartoon

[@SomeJustice19k]

KZbin is full of 'this is underrated' but Omega Red really IS underrated.... X Men is full of great villains and this guy unfortunately got buried.

[@kingmonde]

No way Omega Red is in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. He would wreck everybody there and it wouldn't be fair.

[@acommonmanwithrandomwords8373]

They would have to depower Omega Red to pull it off. But they de powered the grandmaster, and the collector, so anything’s possible.

[@Pwilly1984]

@@acommonmanwithrandomwords8373 they had powers? That I didn't know. Just thought they we're durable long lived beings. What kind of power(s) do they actually posses? If u don't mind telling me lol

[@danielrosen1541]

@@Pwilly1984 so much power... they are elders of the galaxy (including ego and the pantheon of God's? I think), could be wrong but I think their powerlevels were just below ego. Who is not a celestial in the commics. However it varies, I have heard of the grandmaster pulling off some big feats, less so for the collector...

[@acommonmanwithrandomwords8373]

@@Pwilly1984 in the comics, grandmaster can levitate, project energy blasts, is immortal, can “will” death or life unto people, teleport, and do all sorts of other cool things. He generally holds contests between opposing forces and grants them their desires if they win, meaning he’s at least powerful enough to transport heroes and villains to undisclosed locations to do combat. I remember reading a few stories involving him as a kid. The collector is his brother and generally on about the same power level (they even competed against each other with heroes and villains as their champions). In the mcu, these ultra powerful entities are reduced to comedic antagonists...

[@PyroPuffs777]

@@Pwilly1984 Grandmaster can beam any being into the Battleworld, while also having the Power Primordial. Collector can manipulate cosmic energy and has immortality but uses technology to collect beings and paraphernalia from across the universe. You can also go to the Marvel Wikia if you want to know.

[@craigetherington705]

Omega Red for the win, I would love to see a live action version.

[@chocolatecake30]

He might show up in falcon and the winter solider

[@chocolatecake30]

@Kepler-452b yeah I think him and gorgon are the most underrated wolverine villains

[@J2ojuiced95]

I just hope they don’t nerf him too much if he does appear, hopefully he’d still be on a threat level where several Avengers would be needed to beat him.

[@yogendramaharjan636]

He was in Deadpool 2

[@craigetherington705]

@@J2ojuiced95 yeah he should be a unit, not hulk size but old school Arnie sized, and just formidable. Probably like Whiplash from Iron Man 2, but... well.. better.. all round.

[@albertko1]

I remember how hyped I was when saw him introed in comics and thinking finally someone that could threaten Wolverine as a real physical rival.

[@krcmaine]

I always liked Omega Red in the 90s show...not sure why, I can't remember his story...so looking forward to this. 😄

[@blueyedevil1531]

He looks cool. Super cool

[@aztechnology7996]

He was Soviet, I think. Possibly another military experiment?? I'm eventually going back through to watch the animated series on Disney+.

[@lejuansmith6714]

...well at least we got you to admit Jim Lee's art is iconic😁
