Nice

[@anubusx]

Loved him in Spider-Man Unlimited.

[@Philosophical24]

Sabbac next please

[@smashbro67]

This might’ve already been confirmed to be the case but it’s very likely that the High Evolutionary was the one that created Rocket in the MCU.

[@zaheerdawood3814]

I think they already said this a few years ago when he was announced as the big bad for GOTG3

[@AnshumanKumar007]

An alleged plot leak confirms this

[@huntercool2232]

That actually does make sense…

[@IoT_]

You're right

[@hendroidLaura]

Aged like fine wine

[@yzer9975]

One of the first comics I ever read was a What If? featuring this guy. Glad to see he's finally getting his due.

[@derykdawe2202]

That issue was based on the Evolutionary War, a big crossover that introduced me to the character. I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned in the video!

[@jessemillan1385]

So Herbert Wyndham was a scientist that was obsessed with Evolution and was inspired by the work of Nathaniel Essex AKA Mr. Sinister; which is how he became the High Evolutionary. I first saw the High Evolutionary in both the Super Hero Squad show, and The Guardians of the Galaxy animated series.

[@blusterya6540]

He actually is not good/bad. He just does stuff the end results are good/bad. Also in the comics he evolved into a cosmic being!!!

[@alefunzouzzle4049]

Chuck knocked this character out of the park. Instantly a top 5 MCU villain. Pure evil and super scary.

[@wolfgang6442]

I feel the high evolutionary is an interesting villain where he's not that big but you see him pop up here or there going against certain heroes or being reposnisble for some of the characters origins

[@alefunzouzzle4049]

High Evolutionary was the star of the show in G.O.T.G. 3. I hope we see more of him as the big bad.

[@jarianharris8240]

You think he survived though?? I mean we didn't see him die but I just assumed he went down with his ship

[@jarianharris8240]

He's probably the smartest mortal in the Marvel Universe He's the only guy I've seen who's intelligence has been compared to Cosmic Entities when I looked him up once

[@snoochieboochienoochies3394]

Huh? God himself said its Hank pim. He's the scientist supreme. I don't agree with it but its been canon for years

@@snoochieboochienoochies3394 When did that take place? Do you mean Eternity?

[@snoochieboochienoochies3394]

@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu idk what issue man. It was a story about Hank pim, dr doom and mr.fantstic. they all had the right to the title but the one above all or the living tribunal (i cant remember which) settled it and named Hank pim " the scientist supreme". Prolly came out around 2010? Somewhere around there. Those 3 people are the smartest in marvel though, hands down.

Will you guys do a who is Sabbac in DC cuz he's in Black Adam?

Its a star wars card game

[@Joshuadalewillis]

Lando and Han have joined the table…

[@lukeliederbach7623]

Is it really him or etrigan in disguise?

[@champion6534]

I second this.

[@julioramirez1053]

Oh I imagine a JSA and Sabbax video in preparation of Black Adam

[@AifDaimon]

Ngl, he was quite the formidable boss in the now-defunct Marvel Avengers Alliance.. I remember him being a Generalist who could pre-emptively switch to his attacker's counter class (Tactician, Infiltrator, Scrapper, Bruiser or Blaster)

[@xerohcool]

Whoa he has “Sinister” connections? I never knew that! Nice!

[@chrisrobinson8339]

Jack Kirby needs more credit.

[@maythesciencebewithyou]

Jack Kirby is often credited. The ones who aren't credited are Steve Ditko and Lary Lieber.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the Elementals, Cyclone and Sandman along with Kurt Conners the Lizard, Rhino, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with the Tinkerer, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer, Living_Brain, and Prowler?

[@beng5662]

Who?

[@damenwhelan3236]

@Ben G I swear this dude just went over thr least mentioned or not mentioned in any media for the past 15 years characters and listed them. Except the elementals.

[@SP13XIII]

Great vid. Keep the good stuff coming

[@quentinfogger5755]

How many of you remember the High Evolutionary from the Spiderman Unlimited TV show? Was it awesome to see Spider-Man fighting against the High Evolutionary on Counter_Earth?

[@Dubiousthinking]

That’s the one I thought it was about

[@CharlesStubbs]

For me it was the X-men cartoon the episode in which Magneto finds out that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are his “children”.

[@websurferblue]

Heck yeah ,I was scared of him

[@thunderenriquez255]

He fought in savageland and defeated garrok in an uncanny xmen episode. where sauron also got thirsty and battled garrok.

[@jackvenus4024]

I do. That was my intro to him.

[@JaqenHghar.]

His character design is sick. I hope they keep it in the MCU

[@bakihanma724]

They fucked up

[@SpiderPig-bs7gu]

Unfortunately they made his suit purple Which bothers me because now every big villain is purple. They should’ve given him the dark red suit

[@quentinfogger5755]

So when are you going to do history of DC Despero since he is one of the biggest Justice League Villians from the Comics?

[@Mayhem.jester]

Well he's for sure gonna be in vol 3 they revealed it back at sdc and he looks perfect

[@jackvenus4024]

Both Ego and HE debuted in Thor comics now they're Guardian villains.

[@parodontaxnexera5803]

I was waiting for it

[@marcussantos4816]

I’ve heard about him a couple times but never knowing who he actually is and how much of a threat and influence he is till now.

[@jimmierose4873]

Love your watch

[@noahmestdag2217]

Great video, but when will the podcast start again? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new lotr series.

[@mrmysterious8124]

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

[@Andrewtr6]

The new Guardians movie was good but the High Ev. could have been better. He didn't feel like much of a threat and in the end it was defeated way too quickly. He should have been setup as a future villain for a different movie. Also, give him his comic costume. He looks cooler in the comics.

[@justinjohnson1360]

Can we get a " Secret invasion" video next

[@quentinfogger5755]

Apart from his Suit, how did the High Evolutionary evolve his human body and got extraordinary powers?

[@anthonytoliver5166]

Well he used some device to evolve himself to the peak of human evolution. I’d imagine he refined and upgraded the device he used on his pet Dalmatian on himself after years of perfecting it of course

[@maythesciencebewithyou]

He's the number1 geneticist in Marvel.

[@rooseveltcade3935]

Love it can't wait to see the movie

[@GNSCMW]

So he’s basically Marvel’s Doctor Moreau

[@thunderenriquez255]

A brief moment in the uncanny xmen series where garrok in savageland fought the high evolutionary. makes sense since mr sinister was in savageland . Comic kang and the high evolutionary looks quite similar though

[@Leo-iZ177]

he also created one of my favorite species in marvel comics inhabitants of savage land children of Sun

[@victorvhawaii]

self-burn add was solid advertising

[@mrperson6773]

Given how they treated the Grandmaster, I have incredibly low hopes

[@anthonytoliver5166]

The mcu will probably nerf him and have him making taika waititi jokes

[@Alvaro-rq8sn]

@@anthonytoliver5166 have you seen the movie already. You were pretty wrong

[@sphereunitedheroes7936]

With High Evolutionary making his way in the MCU, this would give us a better understanding Rocket was born.

[@darkwoods1954]

He was a great villain in the under rated Spider-man Unlimited animated series.

[@normanortiz5208]

Variant comics, can you please talk about Adam Strange?

[@baddonkey6876]

So he's a dispassionate Tony stark who loves genetics

[@dylanogg347]

For me, I mostly know about the High Evolutionary for his appearances in X-Men: The Animated Series.

[@dylanogg347]

01:34: True, but you know it's in Doom's vocabulary. Just one more word he knows than Reed Richards.

[@samwinn1051]

He always reminded me of kang, it's funny that he's the next villain to be introduced after ant man 3

[@jarianharris8240]

Coooooooool! Love the dialogue between him and Wanda and Pietro. So arrogant and stuffy like an arrogant college professor who knows he's smarter than the person he's talking to

[@justinf9033]

I was first introduced to him in superhero squad.lol

[@quentinfogger5755]

Is he going to be responsible for the creation of Rocket Raccoon and his girlfriend Lylla Otter Guardians of the Galaxy movie vol.3? Can you do origin of Marvel's Lylla Otter?

[@eidetecker]

It's interesting what you say about "bumblers"; I was recently laughing at Bumbler, wondering why a company would call themselves that. However, I seem to be the only one who's noticed, so I'm ready to leave the planet any day now.

[@stevenpani]

Did you know that ALF met the High Evolutionary once in a comic? It's true!

[@kulikevl5312]

I use bumbler often. I also am a fan of Skeletor so...

I def need to lower the music in the background. I want to hear arris more

So we are going to see Kang the Conqueror AND High Evolutionary in the MCU?!?!..... Don't mess this up!!!!!

Wasn't Arnim Zola also tied into his back origin too?

Was the high evolutionary the villain in Spiderman Unlimited?

[@brinkleymaster8118]

Yes.

[@Bigboss-cb2ev]

He evolved every else but himself lol

[@efrenarevalo2025]

Can he win a dance battle though?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What do you think is the best thing about the High Evolutionary in the comics and which is his best powers & abilities? How powerful is he compared to Thanos, Kang the Conqueror, Annihilus and Galactus? Would it be awesome if he survived the events of Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 and appeared in Avengers Secret Wars?

[@Alvaro-rq8sn]

There isn’t a corp at the end of the movie so he is maybe alive. He might upgrade himself into the robotic face in order to stay alive and become more powerful

[@shiroryuu2846]

I like how you explain the possibility of High Evolutionary in Marvels and MCU just taking 1% of that knowledge

[@azymondiaskingofthedragons2897]

IN case anyone doesn't know Marvel has undone the High Evolutionary giving Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver their powers and not being Magnetos children. They made it so Magneto is their biological father in a way that makes it impossible for any future writer or story to take that away again

[@elijahoskins8345]

Watch high evolutionary be the one creating rocket in GOTGVOL3

[@johnrollins9032]

Gentleman as a 57 year old male who has been there and done that I would suggest that you pay attention to the keeps commercial. One day when you wake up and you're my age you'll wish that there was something you could do about it. That's when you'll realize you could have kept your hair with keeps

Speaking of Jessica Drew Spider Woman, How long till you do history of Marvel's Jessica Drew Spider Woman?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Do you think we will see the High Evolutionary along with Mister_Sinister, Adam Warlock and Jessica Drew Spider Woman in the MCU and that too in Guardians of the Galaxy movie vol.3? Do you think he will look like his comic book counterpart with the red armor and helmet played by Chukwudi Iwuji in the MCU despite what he was wearing during 2022 San-Diego Comic con?

[@scientistsupreme5211]

Dont forget he f*****ked Chton over something Dr Strange struggled with when only dwaling with Scarlet Witch.
