Cool.

Happy Sunday!

[@FFA441]

“How many balls jokes can we get in here?”😂😂😂

[@Ali-Sensei]

yes

[@scottharris149]

He should have added that AC/DC already wrote the perfect theme song for Egg. Big Balls!!!!😆😆

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

That's what she said!

[@vasconcelos7356]

I absolutely adore the fact that Squirrel Girl can't control squirrels and can only talk to them, but she's so nice they just follow her everywhere and do whatever she asks them to.

[@navinvent]

Rogue touching Eyeboy and Cyclops though and using it together would be insane.

[@MbisonBalrog]

That is good one

[@AbhishekKr.Singh1609]

God help whoever they are fighting

[@vand0801]

I saw a meme depicting that, and it was hilariously creepy, and insanely dangerous lmao

[@daviddaugherty2816]

​@@AbhishekKr.Singh1609 And whoever they're fighting _with_ for that matter.

[@natagu5794]

Aquaman doesn't have the ability to talk to fish. He has the ability to control them. It was mentioned multiple times in the comics by him that just controls them, and fishes don't have the ability to communicate that well.

[@aceveloce007]

Finally, someone addresses this

[@quentinfogger5755]

Is Mera more powerful than him with how she can control water? I think Arthur Curry Jr is probably more powerful since he has the powers of both his parents, wish the comic writers would undo Black Manta killing that baby

[@dannytarver4533]

Yeah, that's now, when he was created he talked to sea life and they talked back mentally. Namor can do it too

[@dannytarver4533]

​@@quentinfogger5755they have Tempest or whatever the original Aqualad calls himself now

[@BetterThanKanye]

He's just trying to throw everyone off the scent.

[@Iron_fist66]

Talk to sea creatures has to be one of the most broken abilities to have and the fact he can flood the whole earth with an entire army of all unknown creatures that lurk deep in the ocean at the bottom, aqua man definitely deserves more respect.

[@DanteYewToob]

But how did Bailey learn that he has that ability? How do you even discover that you’re a mutant when your only ability is to explode?

[@MrIrdatlan]

Probably the same way you figure out what super power you get from a devil fruit when you eat it, or what power you got if you use the omnitrix to turn into something, automatically downloaded into your brain when you get it. Other option is, Charles prob read his mind or something, gave a scan to figure it out.

[@jasonaaroncinnamon3481]

@@MrIrdatlan remember though its happened where xmen didnt fully understand what their power did until they got into a fight or something

[@michaelmcchesney6645]

Defeating Doctor Doom was impressive, but she had the help of many, many squirrels. When she defeated Thanos, she did it with the help of only Tippy Toe. Remember that the Watcher confirmed that Squirrel Girl and Tippy Toe defeated the real Thanos, not a clone, robot, or simulacrum, and by doing so, saved the multiverse. I am still waiting for Milana Vayntrub to play her in Live Action.

[@kevinmorrice]

didnt she also beat galactus once

[@sesh5791]

He said “balls” like 30 times in 45 seconds 😂

[@SpiderandMosquito]

You get squirrel girl off that thumbnail!

[@GreyTalus]

She took down Galactus!

[@hippy282]

Once I actually understood her power I realised she was a bit overpowered

[@Stitchman3875]

With Egg, I thought of so many “That’s what she said” lines.

[@conradsutton1456]

Lol. "You're the bomb," is low hanging fruit. "Balls" is high brow humor 🤣

[@auroninja]

Color Kid seems like he might be effective against various Lanterns.

[@tylerwilliams6782]

If his power could effect the color of the users ring, assuming they could use the alternate color, then yeah that partnership would be broken.

[@Three8700]

He's got the goldest balls of them all

[@silverlycan2922]

Color kid can be invisible. All wavelengths are color.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

he changed the color of kryptonite, he is more powerful than he gets credit for

[@LinkL33Twarrior]

i gotta stick up for Squirrel girl, she has a bunch of powers from super human strength, durability, and speed, shes also outmatched Taskmaster because of her tail. i just want more credit where its due.

[@anothergingeronthetheinternet]

You were having too much fun coming up with jokes for egg weren’t you😂?

[@satesup4353]

The Almighty Dollar tempts me. This is not the Infinite Crisis, or Final Crisis, this is the Midlife Crisis... .

[@AnvilPictures]

It would be funny if Colour Kid was asked are you gay and says “what! No! Why would you think that?” The other person says “you wear a rainbow on your costume”

[@vladitoncev28]

There is a difference between superpowered and superabled. These guys are superabled

[@raycenteno7698]

The Jaws Pinball game is good but the new John Wick pinball is superb!!!

[@Ur1zenBuddha]

Egg being a part of the mutant circuit that resurrects people is pretty important though.

[@Xephyron_]

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed he left that out

[@kingshadow8782]

Good Afternoon everyone!

[@khaldrogo1782]

Happy weeknd!

[@BYLRPhil]

I had Superpro issue 1. I gave it to a neighbor when I was a kid in exchange for a Spider-Man issue about not smoking cigarettes.

[@ronsorage78]

You leave my girl Doreen alone lol. I love Squirrel Girl.

[@JonnyRoboto]

I'm more curious how Bailey found out he could detonate himself as a superpower.

[@edwardtdm123]

12:30 I thought we might see Soft Serve considering he mentioned ice cream.

[@chriscarlisle5676]

No mention of the guy whose only power is coming back from the dead, or the doorman (extremely limited teleportation/phasing).

[@nicholsonl49]

Nah the color man bit was funny af I'm crying😭😭😭

[@frontrunners4391]

“Anyway, his balls are also able to bounce” lmao

[@b00m_box14]

I can just imagine what James Gunn can make with these characters

[@rhen4short]

I wanna see Color boy in season 2 of Peacemaker 😂

[@edisonlaw934]

Interesting. Can you cover The Leader next, go over his origins, powers and appearance in Captain America 4

[@mohamedmaarif63]

Talking to fish is a great super power yeah......until the deep comes to the picture.😂

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

You just couldn't resist the balls or you're the Bomb jokes could you lol? I fully support your decision with it😮

[@Simte]

This might be the Variant's video with the most balls in it. Should I say... A ballsy upload?

[@adrianrust3229]

Shout out to the Super Duper team from The Boys. They don't really count because the team was written with intentionally useless powers.

[@jamalvargas6146]

Infectious Las From Legion Of Superheroes Now I'm Only Familiar with the 2006 Kids WB show but the ability to automatically make people sick Is a gross power but those American Idol style superhero Auditions where lightning Lad was basically Simon Cowell were a highlight

[@robt510]

“Squirrels are ruthless!! We’ve defeated Dr. Doom, Thanos, AND Mark Rober!!!” xo, Phat Gus

[@cajuama]

Now this was a cool video. We need more.

[@T0Gth3Mighty_369]

Who thought up the chick that poops ice cream . That power has to be one of the most disgusting powers I've ever heard in my life .

[@omoefeasiemo3601]

7:04 kind of reminds me of cannonbolt from Ben 10 and look at how useful that alien turned out to be

[@georgelove980]

Pt.2 please

[@bostonrailfan2427]

Color Kid saved the life of Superman by changing the color of kryptonite, as useless as that power is it’s still a literal lifesaver 🤣

[@targetdreamer257]

Chairface Chipendale. “What am I a joke to you?”

[@Robert-kd9vs]

Goldballs seems pretty dope.

[@MadamMushroom]

Could Color Kid make like a red square, then change specific parts of that square into different colors, and make a whole painting?

[@livestreamgaming420]

3:06 simply write a story that ends with him saying goodbye to his family and friends, have e him accept him total power and standing in the universe and confront a global issue then nuke himself. signifying that he's basically the star brand but able to use it at will after acknowledging his respective power

[@mcash232]

The Almighty Dollar should probably be re-christened "Captain Inflation".

[@princecolliereid7507]

😂😂 enjoyed this episode. Arm fall of boy 😂😂😂

[@quentinfogger5755]

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

[@quentinfogger5755]

Since you did the history of Midnight Man, Are you going to do history of other Moon Knight villains like Arthur Harrow, Shadow Knight, Bushman, the Zodiac Cartel, Stained Glass Scarlet, Moon_Shade and the Sun-King?

[@onyxwolfreaper21]

8:01 "It's a incredibly dumb power" Then Im assuming Cannonbolt from Ben 10 has a stupid power too-

[@craigdeblock3421]

Not entirely fair to Bouncing Boy - combined with a Legion flight ring, he could be surprisingly effective against projectiles and battering opponents (as long as they're not Daxamites or someone in that league, he can just thump them into unconsciousness.) And he and his wife were very effective at running, and teaching at, the Legion Academy. A big part of the appeal of the Legion is that a lot of its members have relatively weak powers but work well as a team, especially when well written - I have undying hate in my heart for what Bendis did to the Avengers, but he was, surprisingly, really good on the Legion.

[@CybeleCotter]

J. Pennington Pennypacker was, I think, one of Kramer's aliases on Seinfeld.

[@SleeperDarkside]

Man if can come up with ridiculous characters like these I still have a chance😂

[@Legal_loophole]

Enough of these balls 😂 am dying laughing 😂😂😂

[@greendro6410]

This was a good video 😂

[@jasonguinn6075]

After watching one piece all the American stretchy characters have been criminally underimagined. With the exception of maybe Plastic Man.

[@Saje3D]

You don’t know Doreen. Her power is the power of coincidence. And friendship. And squirrels!

[@waalex11]

We need a Part 2 if possible, please.

[@JohnClark-tt2bl]

Color kid could be a decent villain for silver age green lantern, just trap hal in a room and turn it yellow.

[@Elchansan]

I would not be surprised if the whole "Goldballs" joke started because someone learned that the Japanese term for testicles is literally goldballs (金玉 read as kintama)

[@nosfarratu]

I think it's bogus that Animal, Vegetable, Mineral man was not on this list!!! Or least an honorable mention.

[@dannytarver4533]

8:45 when X-Force was turned into that group...it was so sad. I don't get how Marvel thought it was a good idea

[@GooniesNeverSayDie1980]

Color Kid would give all the Lantern Corps some problems and also anyone whose powers are solar generated, plus, he has the power to blind.

[@ntsmith2000]

The All Mighty Dollar doesn't sound right when he's shooting pennies from his wrist; he actually sounded more on point shooting half dollars, courtesy of Arris' suggestion.

[@donniedonovan1168]

This was hilarious😂

[@fro-zone2k]

Squirrel Girl is actually one of the most powerful heroes that ever existed in the MARVEL universe.

[@etzool]

Goldballs. Amazing.

[@captainomega6315]

His Bawlz 😂

[@AJDraws]

The Squirrel Girl was just a stupid writer who wanted to make a stupid character relevant. No self respecting Marvel fan would ever consider her beating Victor von Doom canonical.

[@BDOT310]

Color kid has the ability to raise or lower his credit score at will

[@joe88john]

I think you missed Polka Dot Man from James Gunn's Suicide Squad. I would also classify The Dot from Spiderverse 2, though I could see how it could be useful. And anything from the sidekicks at Sky High.

[@oneizzyjones]

Penny packer is underrated. I’m saying. If he just duplicated the money he made everyday starting with one penny. He’d be a millionaire in a year. He could quite literally be the richest man in the Marvel universe and become an awesome villain or the president. There’s potential there.

[@alanmiller7875]

How dare you call Squirrel Girl's powers bad... commanding swarms of extremely agile, clawed, rodents with teeth that can chew through almost anything... it's terrifying how strong that is and that ignores her own heightened agility and speed not to mention the extra balance that her tail gives her... plus she has claws. Doreen Green is unbeatable!

[@AllTheWeirdestProject]

Couldn't Color Kid assist the Green Lantern Corps by changing Sinestro's Yellow light of fear into Saint Walker's Blue light of hope?

[@HolyHadou]

I'm pretty sure there are two mutants with stupid powers that haven't been mentioned. One I think secrets Ice Cream and the other you completely forget about his existence when you're not looking at him. I can't recall their names but I was hoping they'd show up here. Ironically the latter didn't which proves his power.

[@VRTrooper11]

Hey good afternoon Ares. I remember I had the comic books encyclopedia of Marvel's Who's Who. And one of the best parts of it was the heroes/villains with super senses. From humans to mutants and to cosmic. Can you do a take on that? Thank you

[@vextex9719]

Squirrel Girl claws can literally negate healing factor, she can kill Deadpool and Wolverine if she wants to

[@dylanogg347]

Matter Eater Lad can eat a bomb without issue. That's dope.

[@333dae]

what’s funny about these powers is that some of them exist in one piece and it works in that universe

[@quentinfogger5755]

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

[@AndrewRadke]

Friendly Fire is my number one for worst powers.

[@TwistedNiQ]

Am I the only one who thinks Bailey "The Bomb" Hoskins looks like Alfred E. Neuman from Mad Magazine?

[@bayleyaustin2202]

Seeing Bouncy Boy makes me wish we got Legion Of Superheroes season three!! 😩

[@TwistedNiQ]

So I just learned about Mr. Imortal's existence in comics would not be fun to have his unique and depressing level of immortality lol

[@Dewald]

They did little research, as Egg's golden balls are eggs, not balls, and they used those eggs to save the Mutant race.

[@saiken811]

For Zeigeist, I have a low-hanging-fruit joke thats related to a girl, who has recently become quite a meme...

[@Jherick5954]

Squirrel Girl is so cool. Hank Pym needs tech to speak to ants. Squirrel Girl can just do it. And tiffy is so cool. Her personality is what makes her great, also. You can't help but love her and want to see her succeed.

[@brainlock72]

Did you do ANY research? Goldballs later became Egg, and he became one of The Five on Krakoa, essential to their cloning secret of kamikaze missions. Each egg was filled with raw genetic material, so they just needed to download the DNA of whoever died, then Cerebro would download their last daily memory upload, Tempo would age them to proper age, and Hope would then activate their mutant genes. And you come for Chuck, you come for the LEGION! Dude married a girl who could split herself into three bodies and she claims she could still barely keep up with him! He's also good buddies with Tenzil, too! While Chuck and Tenzil made the cut for the Legion, Color Kid did not, but was a founding member of the SUBSTITUTE LoSH. His powers were mostly played for laughs, as was the rest of the team, but Geoff Johns changed that by binding the powers to his already insane "Emotion Corps" that he expanded the Green Lantern Corps into, what is it, 11 different Corps, now? (ROYGBIV, White, Black, UltraViolet, etc) Also, at some point, Infectious Lass "accidentally" infected him with a gender reversing virus, so he is now she, but I understand prefers nb? and you thought Sean/Shvaughn Erin was confusing! I'm glad you used 1970s art for Squirrel Girl, who was pretty much forgotten until the 2000s. Also, she soloed THANOS. Even the Watcher confirmed it "was not a clone, robot, or other impersonator, but the REAL Thanos!" Her "secondary" ability is being able to defeat anyone who tries to fight her.

[@DareMurdok]

Glad someone is putting respect on Egg after his true ability was revealed. dude is crucial to resurrecting people that died.

[@richardsmedley2919]

I feel colour boy is maybe a dig at the inkers at the comic getting a big head , also surely the best/worst power uas to be forget me not from xmen as soon as you look away from him you completely forget him

[@quentinfogger5755]

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

[@Thegame1132]

Katakuri from One Piece proves turning into ice cream can be insanely overpowered if used right

[@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?

[@immortalsugimoto5100]

Dogwelder deserved the number one spot

[@edrozenrozen9600]

Hmmm... What about Friendly Fire?

[@CybeleCotter]

Matter-Eater Lad saved the LSH and possibly the galaxy from an otherwise invincible villain created by a deranged Braniac 5. How? By eating the Miracle Machine, which Braniac 5 used to create the villain. Not even Wildfire could defeat him. However, eating the machine made MEL completely insane.

[@QuantumShineAMAC]

Dr. Doom got beat up by Squirrels!?🤣🤣🤣 That's not good for the F4 and PR!

[@Kattlarv]

Something I do find rather derpy is how when it comes to... "weird powers" and similar. They *do* do things with males downstairs. But not females. Other areas are fine, but that one in particular is just off limit design wise xP

[@ReflexVE]

Almighty Dollar should rename himself Inflation. That's his real power. He'd be a huge hit in Japan!

[@TheRazorTongue]

Of the original Generation X team when it came to the male characters for me he was the most interesting and best developed. I still want a Generation X video game, X-Men Legends style.
