Mister Sinister is easily one of my favorite X-Men villains because he's completely unhinged. He's brilliant, but he's a sociopath at the same time with no regard for himself or others because he can just restore or clone himself and call it a day.

[@phabothadon7855]

From dawn and house of x, to the X of swords. I'm REALLY loving the x men stuff so far

[@riccardobozzolan3792]

The first time I saw Mister Sinister (on the x-men cartoon), the guy terrified me: not only was he powerful, cunning and immoral, but also technically immortal thanks to his cloned bodies. So reading Hellions and seeing this intimidating villain turned into a wisecracking kook (similar to Disney's Hades), who often ends up the butt of the joke, gives me a sense of catharsis. Moreover, I love Nanny and Orphan-maker, I find both their designs and their relationship fascinating

[@sleepforeveryone]

I'm loving Hellions! Thanks for giving a backstory on some of these characters (I'm relatively new to reading comics). Love the videos!

[@glennbronner3506]

Love how they write Sinister in this series and love his CAPE

[@mattwolf2709]

Sinister has become one of my favorites since the new X-Men comics started he is amazingly well written

[@NickK-v6e]

Orphan Maker and Nanny is absolutely hilarious in this story.

[@CieJe.Alexander]

Yeah especially drunk-Nanny going after Sinister at the Gala. 🍷💫 "Oh ish on!" Too funny 💫 Let go of me!... I'm fired up! ...I'm gonna kill him! ...I'm gonna be sick! !!!😅ROFL😅!!!

[@skanaraki2161]

Literally just read this a couple of hours ago and then this drops. Must be the work of gravity.

[@anthonyjbrooks491]

I read the title and it made me think of a few questions to ask you. Who the best Mutant? Not Powers and feats alone but overall character and their story. Hm well that goes for Marvel's Heroes. Then Marvel's characters in general. Who's the best overall. Character wise, story wise and all. I think that would be a great video. And everyone and anyone who's a fan of Marvel would enjoy. I also believe you would have a fun fime making that video. Have fun.

[@draftermath1683]

Slight correction for you Rob. X-Tinction Agenda came before Phalanx Covenant. XA was the swansong for the New Mutants and started the X-Force. PC was the introduction to Generation X. Both great stories. Love your videos, keep up the good work!

[@SupaSoup]

So what you're saying is, Rob; that if Jason had unfettered access to Cerebro, with the most up-to-date backups of all the mutants on Krakoa, he could take it over quick, fast, and in a hurry.

[@LandofMert76]

I'm glad this is a program of Hodge and not Hodge. Can't have him come back every time. So happy you are finally catching up. I need your perspective on these stories.

[@Mandaiish]

Hope you do the Spiderman story where he teaches some X-men students. Love that story

[@EtotheFnD]

For the love of all things funny, please Rob grace us with another RunDown episode

[@TheVeeOhla]

Hellions is definitely the best X Book currently

[@CrazyBastard1010]

Wait.. but if Arcade is in the same room as Jason Wyngarde couldn't he just have his hearing manipulated to hear the voice "confirm" whatever he's doing? like the whole thing can still be an illusion cant it?

Finally we got back to the X line of comics!!!!

[@ryankennedy9703]

You probably hate me for asking like three questions about playlists in the past. But I’m just curious why there’s no playlist specifically for house/dawn of x? Maybe I just overlooked it while looking through all of your playlists, but it seems like this story deserves its own list. (I’m not an avid comic book reader, but watching all of your videos on this dawn/house of x series has been really great and I just want to make sure I’m not missing any)

[@CieJe.Alexander]

Thank you! Yes Rob! PLEASE! Hickman's "of X" run is the best! I'm just loving it so much! Also a couple of the videos in some of the playlists are in the wrong order, please fix!

"Mutant friend" "False value: Mutant friend" Damn. That kinda hit different.

I liked how because of the language of their programming the Smileys were saying stuff like; 😀 Thank you Mutant Scum. Mutant Scum are our friends. So funny! 😅 ...Up until the betrayal. 😱 But CE left out the part about the baby Smiley👶💻 (with its tiny creepy smile) which Nanny secretly rescued. 😯 [Ooh, lets call him Chucky!] That just seems like a plotpoint that might come back to bite them! 🔪😬

Synch. His Gen X bio said he could detect mutants, copy abilities by proximity not touch, and I think his aura had some defensive capabilities. He could be omega level at that time.

Rob! You need to start doing your own What If scenarios again since “What If” is coming out next month!

I’ve thought of a list of some cool ones: 1: what if Silver Surfer killed Thanos in Thanos Wins 2: what if Deadpool wins 3: what if the cabal and the Illuminati teamed up 4: what if black priest dr strange fought the beyonders 5: what if the incursions where stopped 6: what if Annihilus won? 7: what if the Illuminati fought the Cabal 8: what if the heroes and villains swapped, sort of a universal version of what happened in the axis comic

[@fishnewt1331]

Oh thank god! I love Hellions and wanted to tell ya about it Rob, but felt very uncomfortable recommending something you didn’t ask. I’m glad you caught up!

[@riccardobozzolan3792]

my favourite part of the video is how he keeps repeating "Jason Wyngarde" full name instead of his nom de guerre Mastermind. I thought it would get annoying, but the enthusiasm displayed during the narration makes it endearing. also, I was surprised to discover that Wyngarde is the father of one of my favourite x-men, Megan Gwynn aka Pixie.

[@CieJe.Alexander]

Is he really? I thought Lady Mastermind (from the M-Pox/Terragen-Mist-run-amok stories) was, Jason Wyngarde's only child. Btw. Megan Gwynn Wyngarde is an unfortunate tongue-twister.

[@riccardobozzolan3792]

So, did a bit of research, turns out that in the miniseries Pixie Strikes Back Megan's mom shows up at the Wyngarde mansion saying to Mastermind's daughters (by the way there are two of them) that Pixie is their half-sister. However, in the end is uncertain if this is true or not.

[@cheapkingscuisine5106]

[@johntaeweaver3536]

There’s been something on my mind, since venom killed Knull, won’t that mean that all the symbiotes that are under his control will be broken, like by Hybrid , will they return being good and find a perfect host?

[@CieJe.Alexander]

Not all of the Symbiotes are now connected to/controlled by Eddie Brock, some went out on their own. Read the June issue '21 of Venom. It wraps up (the aftermath of) the King in Black story arc.

[@markhughes9390]

Hey Rob, Given your extensive knowledge of X-Men,, perhaps you could do a video that fills in the gaps between “classic" uncanny X-Me to X-Men disassembled to marvelous X-Men to the start of Hickman’s current X-Men (Dawn of X?). I missed out on a few years of comics being too poor in grad-School & when I picked up a few of the newer titles, I was so lost, as they are very different from Claremont’s 9I’ll call them “classic” Uncanny X-men, which I knew pretty much what was going on, but now I’m totally lost). I would love to pick up the trades that span this gap, but you know the funky way Marvel numbers their trades makes this almost impossible. Thanks for your attention. Sincerely, Mark Hughes, Richmond, VA.
