Happy you guys acknowledged that Deadpool was part of Weapon x. When I went to a comicon years back, I even heard Liefeld himself refer to Deadpool as Weapon xi. Really one of the biggest misconceptions in marvel tbh

Fun fact: Liefeld also said Disney wasn't working on Deadpool 3. Also his name has Lie in it.

And the list of the most painful things that Wolverine ever went through also includes having all of that metal stripped out of his pores by Magneto...Like, Imagine every bone in your body decides to divorce the inside of your body, but choose to come out of the tiny, TINY holes that make up our skin.

Maverick had mutant power is an ability to absorb the kinetic energy generated by an impact without harm to himself. But has lost his mutant powers following the events of M-Day.

[@80wolfmanrob]

The program was not called weapon x it was called weapon plus program. Weapon X is wolverine because he was the tenth experiment. Captain America was weapon one he was the first person in the program. People get wrong all the time because they don't know the real history. Go listen to comicexplained Rob is wealth of info and breaks down everything.

[@deathfox1193]

Incorrect. Weapon Plus was the overarching program. After the success of Weapon X, there was a subdivision of the Weapon Plus Program called the Weapon X Program. The Weapon X Program subdivision was essentially just an attempt to replicate the success of Weapon X.

[@mrtdhl1]

You missed a few... Lady Deathstrike, Fantomex, the Skinless Man, Nuke, Captain America... though I may be getting confused seeing as Weapon X is part of the Weapon + program, so some of them might be + instead of X

[@quackmaster1014]

Wasn't Cane and Chamber also in the weapon program at some point in the late 90s early 2000s, seem to remember Cane in wacky orange armor.

[@mrtdhl1]

@@quackmaster1014 oh yeah, Chamber was one. But... Cane? You mean the edgy AF spider man clone?

[@deathfox1193]

Those are all parts of the all weapon plus program, but not all weapon X (Fantomex for example is weapon xiii)

[@craigjomaia]

@@mrtdhl1 No Kane. Garrison Kane. He was actually officially named Weapon X since Logan went off the reservation. Basically the 6 Million Dollar man/Robocop. Bionic arms and legs, cyborg.

[@ArronSorrell83]

Fantomex, the Skinless Man, Nuke, Captain America no they was part of weapon plus, Lady D Was never part of Weapon x in the comics only the film. they did miss out on Chamber, and Sauron and Kain.

[@MikelWash]

You can do a whole part 2 of this list and cover the weapon X comic series plus some of the weapon plus mythos from Grant Morrison’s Xmen run

[@glenndallas7171]

Will you be doing a follow-up of all the connected characters from Weapon Plus, like Fantomex?

[@andrewbeecroft6509]

Weapon ii was a squirrel, so it could be a fun list lol.

[@foxw00d]

Should be labeled weapons x staff but but missed lady deathstrike point

[@ArronSorrell83]

Lady Deathstrike was never part of weapon x

[@House.Of.Pain.]

Lol but Maverick “IS A #MUTANT” though 🤷🏾‍♂️. Lol well, he was until he lost his powers idk if he got them back or not yet but he was definitely a mutant. His ability was kinetic energy manipulation. He could absorb, and redirect kinetic energy. Come on What Culture 🤷🏾‍♂️! You could probably just go look it up on the wiki, or something like that. I guarantee you that it will tell you that he’s a mutant not a mutate, but mutant.

[@craigjomaia]

Yeah, it was odd that they said announced that not all of Weapon X were mutants when they were introducing Nord, who was. Particularly since they'd already covered Deadpool who was technically not a mutant.

[@rhameseshamilton8045]

And his powers were changed by weapon x also.

[@House.Of.Pain.]

@@craigjomaia yeah, exactly if anything Deadpool is the one that’s not a mutant he’s a mutate lol.

[@isitunlimited]

Maverick was later given the ability to secrete an enzyme from his fingertips that would corrode healing factor, and also to be scentless. He was recently invited to have his powers returned on Krakoa and declined.

[@BillStrait]

We need more on Weapon II, the squirrel.

[@SensoriaMaRia]

Good job! Will you do a continuation with additions like clones (Gabby/Honeybadger) and/ or Weapons Plus (Fantomex)?

[@dustydurant2746]

Note that there are a lot of characters in the marvel comics universe that used the name of x-23 one or more of the characters that use this name are or are not on this list

[@Ns247-l1c]

I loved xmen evolution but totally forgot thats where x23 came from 😂 loved the way she was shown in logan and really hope we see her again somewhere in a film

[@ThePerfectgrade]

Garrison kane was also a part of weapon x

[@zakbradley1295]

What about the fact that Captain America was technically “Weapon 1”? No mention of Fantomex?

[@vengeanceconscious9774]

I agree

[@thedetvetdu]

Thought you were going to include ”Weapon I”, Captain America.

[@ArronSorrell83]

Captain America was part of the weapon plus program what was like the parent company to weapon x so not actually part of weapon x program

[@haze4622]

was about to comment that. Also this should ne titled as a top 10. Not nearly everyone in weapon X

[@richardemmanuel7803]

why wasn't deathstrike/yuriko mentioned

[@ArronSorrell83]

coz she was never part of weapon x in the comics

Nice video. I was going to say Fantomex but he was created by Weapon X so he doesn't count lol? I don't know, the x-men are amazing and confusing sometimes

[@andrewbeecroft6509]

Fantomex is weapon XIII. From the weapon plus programme but a later iteration.

I honestly like Wolverine and the X-men over the 90s cartoon. It's just an opinion. I think the 90s cartoon is great.

[@ArronSorrell83]

might want to get ur ears tested he never said wolverine and the xmen he said xmen evolution lol

[@sparrow420500]

They are mixing up Maine continuity and ultimate continuity for Sabertooth

[@ArronSorrell83]

thats coz the ppl are useless and don't do the research

[@sparrow420500]

Deadpool was in Depertment K, not Weapon X. They are not the same thing, as Department K is for washouts and failed experiments, which Wade Wilson was, before he died the first time.

[@deathfox1193]

Department K oversaw the Weapon X program Deadpool was a part of. It was the administrative agency regulating it

[@TevyaSmolka]

I love Laura x-23 she’s really awesome and badass

[@IsamotKol]

Wasn't fantomex in the weapon plus program?

[@deathfox1193]

Weapon Plus? Yes. But he was Weapon XIII, this is specifically about members of the Weapon X program

Lady D's Father was not part of the weapon x program they just stole his work.

[@brandonnewby178]

Okay. I straight-up definitely want to see that video...X-Men evolution better than the 90 series?

[@PharaohDom]

Maverick very much is a mutant. He did, however, lose his powers after M-Day.

[@jeremiahbristow7609]

When were Wolverine and Sabretooth friends?! Is that recent Marvel?! Because if so, than either Sabretooth had to do some serious time as Wolverine's punching bag, or Wolverine is a *lot* more forgiving than I remember him being...

[@DrippleDragon]

There’s a few versions where they become allies and Sabertooth becomes good

[@ArronSorrell83]

@Lujack Shaw yer but wolverine was not around then as he was dead at that point and Sabretooth then went bk to evil at the end of the weapon x comic run when he was in hell.

[@dustydurant2746]

Also wade Wilson a.k.a deadpool from marvel comics has 2 dc comics characters one of them shares his last name but the first name is spelled different that dc comics character in question is slade Wilson who actually had 2 supervillain nicknames that being deathstroke and the other one being the terminator but he had to drop the terminator nickname for legal reasons as for the other dc comics character he's more of a dc comics parody of deadpool who's name is redtool

[@woodrobin]

Deadpool's healing factor graft actually worked perfectly. It gave healing abilities to every cell in his body. The problem is, cancer is cells of the body, they're just cells that have decided to just hijack resources to grow more of themselves, instead of being organs, blood cells, etc. So Deadpool's cancer has the same healing factor the rest of his cells have, and the two sets of cells constantly wage war on each other, giving him constantly shifting tumors. Be careful what you wish for, in case you get it.

[@ice9planet]

I'm confused. Isn't it the Weapons Program, which started with Cap as Weapon 1 and Logan being 10 or X?

[@andrewbeecroft6509]

That's weapon plus, the weapon x programme was the tenth iteration of this. I don't know the minutia, but each iteration could have produced multiple weapons until they moved on to a new set up (normally after perfecting the last or it being blown to shit)

[@d.i.g.i.t.a.l.9268]

I thought Agent Zero was the first experiment

[@chilarius]

I am still wondering why did you choose the Marlboro logo inclined for the channel.

[@DoktaVODKA]

Maverick is a mutant who can see seconds/minutes into the Future and Weapon X Kain from the 90's self Titled Weapon X comic. Cyber too and wasn't it set up by Canada's Department H & K

[@That80sGuy1972]

So... no Omega Red or anyone else very connected and important to the Weapon X program? Well, seeing how Wolverine's 90s mutation rewrite making the claws part of his mutation is a solid factor, I'm not surprised. OG Wolverine, the claws were a bionic implant. His only mutation was his healing factor in an animal-level instinctive sensory body and that alone was why he was chosen... because he could survive it. Well, the original idea behind Wolverine was that he was supposed to be an actual mutant wolverine and that was part of why he could not remember his past but that never took.

[@no_one01-5]

Wolverine's and all the weapon X adamantium claws don't make any sense, if you know the bone structure of forearms but it's the X-23, who takes the cake, in comic logic, with her foot claws. When they are in her feet, she couldn't walk more than some stiff hobbling.

[@trevorghalt1881]

7:55 Very true!

[@hamedhosseinzade790]

Anybody knows why Logan claws became like a blade after weapon x program while he had piercing claws before weapon program?

[@darienwazze]

The claws are not a product of the program. Logan's mutation gave him bone claws together with his well-known healing factor. The weapon x program just gave him the adamantium coating.

[@hamedhosseinzade790]

@@darienwazze I know that he had the claws before the operation But the claws were not like blades they were like spear But after his operation the claws became like blades

So if wolverine was in his late 30s early 40s when he became WX and he was born in the 1830s that would have made him about 8 or 9 years old during the Civil War 🤔?

Not sure how you did the math on that. Logan was born in 1832, the Civil War started in 1861. 61-32=29 years old at the start of the war. Logan wasn't in his late 30s or early 40s when he became Weapon X. he was closer to 130, he just looks good for his age.
