Who is Marvel's Fantomex? Weapon XIII - Literal "Split Personality"

[@buckwilde2212]

I love the scene in which - I believe - X-Force is spying on some French supervillain group and they get Fantomex close enough to hear them in order to translate what they're saying... only for Fantomex to reply something along the lines of, "I don't speak French," followed shortly after by, "What? I just like the accent and it annoys people."

[@renzoyao2661]

Explaining about Fantomex is like being in a mathematics class.

[@jamesboyd985]

He is an extremely complicated new mutant, but one of my favorites. The dark Angel Saga is probably some of the best stuff I've ever read in marvel, let alone the artwork. Eva, the world, he's out there but awesome. Weapon x program at its finest.

[@ryanleatigaga7596]

Why does Fantomex look like the lovechild of Rorshach and Snake Eyes?

[@gilzineto]

I think hes actually inspired by diabolik or shit like this if I recall correctly!

[@Samson2323]

Ryan Leatigaga more like storm shadow

[@rcct44444]

Gilberto Egypto hes also based on Fantomas Look the books up High reccomendations

[@MH-ty7fb]

Because they wear masks and use a black and white color palette. It’s rather unimaginative.

[@levilamont8005]

Stormshadow.... he looks like Stormshadow

[@noobslayer135]

Fantomex is weird AF. Makes 100% sense when you realize he was created by Grant Morrison lol

[@matthewbennett1972]

noobslayer135 yep that explains everything. I’m surprised he didn’t rap battle Apocalypse to death

[@Someguywithalotoftism]

This is why I love grant Morrison, he has fun with the weird and makes it good. He makes concepts somehow more logical but weirder. I mean they're mutants, so have fun with the weird powers instead of making it generic like a lot of writers do.

LOL! Good comparison! I hadn't thought of that.

[@MarcAlcatraz]

exactly what i was thinking, team-up anyone?!

[@MarcAlcatraz]

and they both fight villians that wear the inverted version of their costume

[@Va1karius]

kcvic Actually, Moon Knight's costume is silver. An artist screwed up the color scheme. The reason his costume is silver/platinum is because Moon Knight was a werewolf hunter too.

[@MarcAlcatraz]

yeah thats correct Steven Chang but since his 1990's run he's been white and black

He created Evan by cloning Apocalypse. He was trying to prove that even though a person is born to be evil, it does not mean that he will definitely be evil in the future. Even though this created a lot problems, but I kind of like his idea.

antwan1357 ,Ent he's too complicated, they should of do something simple ,so people could follow him,I wonder if his comic does sell.

[@amandam120]

I believe his name fits. He's the man of mystery. The word phantom is related to mystery. The ex part of it just adds to the whole x gene wording theme running in the comics

[@donnyjoe123]

Comics are always complicated

[@gabrielcarrasco8414]

He is highly interesting because his thought process is complicated. He is meant to be inherently selfish and trust only in himself. But over time he breaks that character trait somewhat. Him having three brains further complicates him, because it would normally tear anyone else apart. One of his brains is a sentinel that killed child Apocalypse, but it's hinted that his other two brains were fighting to prevent it, but his sentinel brain overpowered the other two at the time.

[@antwan1357]

@@gabrielcarrasco8414 see way too complicated. Your average reader is going to sleep if they cram a paragraph of content every time a page turns. This is like the difference between sindication and episodal. Is the content good enough for both no it needs to be edited.
