Ah Alex Summers, Marvel's greatest himbo. I love that he graduated college early and has a PHD in Geophysics, but has all the common sense of a sack of really dumb hammers. Really endearing honestly.

[@seanwickham4986]

This is so heartwarming to me! ♥️

[@ps3gamertagc021297]

the worlds most intelligent people typically lack self awareness and common sense in social situations

[@samwill7259]

The ONE good line in X-Men: Apocalypse is Xavier saying "Wreak Havoc" to Alex and then watching Alex just bring the house down. Puts his power into perspective

[@anthonyrousseau8050]

...And then they killed him off. This is where the movie lost me (and it was all downhill from there). Damn shame because I genuinely loved Lucas Till in the role.

[@oldmanlogan9616]

He killed himself doing that right lol

[@anthonyrousseau8050]

​@@oldmanlogan9616 I mean, he was trying to save Professor X from Apocalypse. Acted impulsively and hit the Blackbird's engine instead, blowing up the whole mansion. Since he was at the epicenter of the blast, Quicksilver wasn't able to save him. With all that said, killing him was a big mistake IMO. Would've loved to see him coach Cyclops on the battlefield.

[@Frank-Voight-Kampff]

The Havok/Spider-Man crossover was my first experience with this character. And the start of my life-long love for him. 🥰

[@AshtonRogers-se1zj]

I've always really liked the detail of the concussion Scott incurred as a result of him and Alex jumping from the plane being the reason he can't control his optic beams. Because why would you be genetically endowed with optic beams,but not the ability to control them!?

[@starrsmith3810]

Makes all the sense in the world really that the lack of control is because of brain trauma/damage. Rogue’s lack of control is also down to a mentality thing.

[@AshtonRogers-se1zj]

@@starrsmith3810 right. I can buy "oh,you have this additional unique ability,but you can't actually CONTROL it cuz that concussion you suffered that one time." But I CAN'T buy,"oh...you have this additional unique ability,but you can't actually control it because... ....because you just can't,okay!?"

[@panowa8319]

I remember a miniseries "Havok and Wolverine,: Meltdown" where the two took a vacation and Alex was kidnapped by Russians and there he was in the company of a woman whom he got close to who turned out to be a Russian agent.

[@RobOlivierbjr64]

Alex Summers has been 1 of my most favorite Marvel characters and mutants and there is so much more to this underrated character. Also, people don’t give enough respect to his powers. I would love to see more and his time as leader of X-Factor 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎

[@JPTyler]

You MUST continue the story of Havok, as there's so much more!

[@MisterKen81]

Definitely I’d love to see the x factor years as well as mutant x which is where I dropped off with his character. He could easily to 4 videos on Havok

[@Justinsayswhat]

My favorite X-Man ! I really feel like Alex never really had a fair shake. Don’t get me wrong I liked Scott but I felt like Havoc need a power boost or a story line or something. Always the side character. With his power set you would have thought he had some kind of story line.

[@KGBookkeeping]

Great summary!!! This is a tough one but your articulation really reflected the pivotal role that Alex’s character possessed when considering the overall lore of the early X-man years

[@quentinfogger5755]

How long till you finish doing White Tiger: legacy of the Tiger by doing the history of Ava Ayala White Tiger who's the daughter of Hector Ayala? Can you do the history of Intelligencia in honor of the She-Hulk Disney Plus show?

[@thechimpmaster]

He does whatever characters the Patreon supporters vote for

[@wesleygleason5868]

I think they are going to introduce Havok soon in X-Men '97. 😎👍🏼

[@CHARLESJOHNSON-gv7zy]

THIS CHANNEL IS 'EXCELSIOR' 👍 ..

[@jerfuhrer2581]

Oh, heck yeah!!! I cannot wait for part 2! Lets go X-Factor and Mutant X!!

[@Bearwolf13]

I've been re-reading X-Men from issue 1 recently and even though it's still fresh in my memory I love watching recap videos... Keep up the good work...

[@RoyFokker02]

Havok one of my favorite Marvel characters. Please more videos.

[@impureneighbour9792]

I get the feeling Living Pharaoh is Havok’s arch nemesis.

[@robertrowley4929]

Same here

[@na5567]

Hey Merry Marvelite! I think with the new movie coming out now would be a great time to cover the Red Hulks! And maybe Skaar too.

[@matthewtobar3049]

Yeah it should be a part 2 on how he started the New X-Factor with Wolfsbane Strong Guy Multiple Man Quicksilver and Polaris

[@PimpfDM92]

A great X-men character that had just a rough life since the beginning manipulated by Sinister like his brother, and he tried to grow and being one person also outside of the X-Men , he really had his stand later on being the field leader of X Factor and on other timelines he is a great mutant but also manipulated by Madelyne and Sinister… I really hope someday you’ll find the time to do a part 2 of his story. Great job as usual 👍🏼

[@rikflare7970]

Havok, card carrying avenger, and kicked Kang a s s 👍

[@uhobme2028]

Sinister's really the WWE's Higher Power reveal personified

[@brandobjj]

Ive been thinking about this character a lot lately. Im glad you did this!

[@nicholascorrin4648]

I've been waiting for you to do this character!!! Great job as always!!!❤❤❤

[@briancynn392]

Alex is still my fav Summers... and there are so many to choose from! 🥴

[@dannyman1943]

Bring on Mojo!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@AgentNevets]

Yes please continue! Can't wait for X-Factor and Mutant X details.

[@richards.monroe8668]

What a far-out story about Havok!!! As always, you know how to impress me every week, and as a fellow Marvelite, I applaud your work. Keep up the good work!!! 😁

[@jamesmoss3424]

Havok's mutant power is awesome. 😀👍

[@Christopherfrost13]

Love Havok. I wish youd have included his run with Wolverne in "Meltdown", its one of my favorite comics.

[@alisonsmith4436]

Love your videos 😊

[@ydoihave2picaname]

Thank you for doing Havok justice! There's allot of stuff here I always wanted to look back on and now I have a playlist. =) Man I have to say, he got kidnapped more times than Princess Peach lol I don't know if you've done this in the past but what would be great is a history of relationships. The X-men have had many iconic relationships but even the lesser know ones would be interesting. Like learning Havok and Madelyn existed pre Mutant X was cool. I think a series like that would be awesome.

[@daviddalrymple2284]

I would love to see a series on X-men romances. One thing that's striking about Claremont's early issues is how he teases pretty much every possible "ship". Colossus shyly tries courting Storm. It's hinted that Nightcrawler might have a crush on Cyclops. And of course, the most famous unrequited crush in X-men history is Wolverine's crush on Jean Grey. (Although that was explored mostly in retrospect. Wolverine nurses the crush for a couple of issues, but quickly moves on after meeting Mariko. It wasn't until Jean Grey comes back from the dead that they make a big fuss over how much Logan loves Jean.) But then Claremont gave most of the X-Men steady relationships: Wolverine had Mariko Yashida, Angel had Candy Southern, Nightcrawler had Amanda Sefton, Colossus and Kitty Pryde had each other, Banshee and Moira Taggert, Cyclops and Jean (and later Madelyne). He kept Ororo single for a long time, but she eventually found Forge. Many of these relationships ended tragically, of course, but they were long and significant.

[@infamoswordz]

"cry Havok" epic comic book line! Let's get the origin of Vulcan next!

[@nickmorgan3199]

Definitely need a part 2

[@dougtheheavy]

More Havok and Vulcan, please!

[@wingerton]

So good. PART 2 PLEASE!!!

[@blackrampage2]

One of the most underrated Mutants. Sit him right next to Colossus

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the amazing video ❤

[@benparrish672]

Warren Worthington the 3rd Angel/Archangel is the most underrated X-Men character with a vastly underrated powerset

[@daviddalrymple2284]

There's so much more good stuff: his apparently killing Storm, his jumping through the Siege Perilious and subsequent return during "X-Tinction Agenda", his stewardship of X-Factor, and his solo series Mutant X.

[@impureneighbour9792]

Those pictures of Alex when he was a kid look like manga.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Thanks for doing Alex.’ He’s one of my favorites. He can be a real powerhouse ( As seen when he absorbed that star .), possibly even herald level. Since you are doing mutants, can you do Proteus? The Silver Samurai? How about Sebastian Shaw? Or Meggan (Captain Britains wife .) ? I enjoy your videos .

[@gnano1244]

Yes please more on Havok and the Living Pharaoh.

[@christopherulichney]

Alex has always been my favorite Summers brother. And his original costume was such a good look. The all black bodysuit with the white concentric rings caused by his powers, was both simplistic and eye catching. How long till part 2? My suggestion for a future video is the Alpha Flight member SASQUATCH. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

[@davehughes2045]

Yessss!!! More havok!!!!

[@williamhopkins343]

The video was about Havoc but the thing that caught my attention was thay Sauron took his name from Lord of The Rings!

[@starrsmith3810]

Man he’s Marvel’s damsel in distress.

[@Jay_SGE]

Was literally just listening to another podcast about him 😂 EDIT: please we need more Havoc!

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video? Are you going to do history of his brother Vulcan and the Starjammers team who his father is part of?

[@jalenikezeue4114]

Oh God Mr Sinister did he Experiment on The rest of X-men members when they were Kids

[@daniescott3000]

Please do part 2

[@goredongoredon]

Maybe do a video on The Uncanny Avengers since Havok was on that team also? That first series with the Apocalypse Twins was pretty confusing and so was the relationship between Havok and the Wasp.

[@trexadvent4726]

Does the suit Havok was wearing look similar to Bullseye? Do you think we should have seen Lucas Till as Havok in this suit during Fox's X-Men movies?

[@drewdanger9413]

Please make a part 2 of havoc. He's one of my favorite X-Men of all time. There's not enough love and not enough stuff about him out there and they always play him out as a mind control fool or he made a mistake. Trusting someone I want to see a story where he doesn't get mind controlled. He's not getting tricked by anybody and his powers and his mind are 100% ready to be a hero. That's the havoc I would love to see and to finally finally marry. Lorna Dane, it's about time without disastrous situations happening and them not getting married. It's about time they let them get married and let them live a happy ever after. Please make video too. Thanks buddy

[@sainttan]

Wow... That's a lot of kidnapping, and losing his shirt.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Which animated movie or TV Show do you think did a great job in portraying Havok? Do you think he should have appeared in Wolverine and the X-Men show since he was mentioned there? What do you think is the best thing about Lucas Till as Havok?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What kind of brotherly love did Havok have for Cyclops before they were separated and after they came back together?

[@BrrrLocc]

Ever see the X-men outback.. where the guys all get drunk and fight mojo world ppl.. spirall and such.. funny issue.. 💯💙👀

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the A-Force, U-Foes, Excalibur team, the Ultimates team, Starjammers, Alpha Flight, the Annihilators, the Invaders, the Squadron Supreme, Doom Maidens, the Midnight_Sons, Young Avengers, Dark Avengers, Masters of Evil, the Thunderbolts and the Champions?

[@mattchew6426]

More Havok, please...

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the Beyonder, Crossfire, Living Laser, Iron Monger, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, Ultimo, Darkhawk, Union Jack, Psycho-Man, the Badoon and the Broods?

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do origin of the Grim Reaper, Quicksilver, Devondra, Sentry, Mr Immortal, Captain Universe, Dreadknight, Deathcry, Blizzard, Starhawk, Flerken, Whirlwind, Chemistro, Whiplash, Ronan the Accuser, Ego the Living Planet, the Living Tribunal and Palibok the Power Skrull along with Avenger-X and the Protector?

[@TopherHeYump]

More havok and Polaris please!!?

[@trexadvent4726]

Are you going to do history of Ironheart, M'Baku, Namora, Attuma and Shuri as the Black Panther since they played a major role in the Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie?

[@trexadvent4726]

Since you did the History of the Mandarin and Fin_Fang_Foom, Can you do history of Ultimo as well as the Shang-Chi villain known as the Death_Dealer?

[@michaelturner2806]

For some reason I always got Havok confused with Avalanche, and think that the Brotherhood guy with earthquake powers is Scott's brother.

[@bdboricua3128]

More Havok and Living Pharoh

[@impureneighbour9792]

Yep. Mister Sinister has had a run-in with every mutant. How come he hasn’t had one with Spider-Man before?

[@guyasor1]

Spider-Man was not born a mutant, Mister Sinister is looking for mutant genes to replicate or otherwise manipulate

[@rickpebbles2502]

Well said

[@guyasor1]

Bonus info: Sinister in Latin is simply a definition for left-handed people

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do origin of the Brood, the Gladiator, Hyperion, Star-Splendor, Plasma, Vulcan, Jackal, Stingray, Avril Kincaid Quasar, Orb, Squirrel_Girl, Ultimus, Kly'bn, Kitty Pryde, Yotat, Dr.Faustus, Enigma and Tryco Slatterus the Champion of the Universe?

[@zonitoni4453]

Do Vulcan he's kind of confusing.

[@zoomanx9661]

8:47 😂😂😂😂😂

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think is the best thing about Havok in the comics compared to Cyclops and Vulcan? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

More Alex. :-)

[@stevebourgeault8340]

Next one make a video origin of sqruw ball

[@drkblde]

Have you done Count Nefaria?

[@TheOvervoid]

9:04 Quicksilver Cyclops is cursed

[@trexadvent4726]

What's up with Havok and Cyclops fighting against each other? Who could believe that Havok can use his powers to supercharge Cyclops to make his Optic lasers extra powerful?

[@gcrichlow17]

This dude is just a battery for one

[@JRussellDay]

Why is there so little coverage of the Mutant X comic series!?! Ugh

[@danbauer3669]

Who is Cosmic Ray and why is he running around giving everybody powers?

[@jakecrichton562]

What happens next?!?!?!

[@quentinfogger5755]

What's up with Havok being connected with the Living Pharoah while having the same powers as him? What's up with him using Havok to become the Living Monolith?

[@trexadvent4726]

Is Alex's relationship with Polaris is the best like is it similar to his brother and Jean Grey? What's up with Havok hitting it off with Madelyn Pryor since she's his sister in law?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What do you think happened to the adopted family of Alex Summers after Alex killed their son's killer and is in touch with his adopted sister?

[@DeadPool-XF]

Blizzard (Marvel Villian)

[@thexdatabase]

no mutant x

[@jackieanderson9408]

😊😊

[@DontATATMeBro]

Is this real

[@drakkamadeye5872]

Algorithm!
