Spoilers for "X-Men '97" follow.
The goriest moment of "X-Men '97" season 1 will assuredly go down as episode 5, "Remember It," which saw the mutant nation of Genosha wiped out just as it was in the dark "X-Men" comic arc "E is for Extinction."
Episode 9, "Tolerance is Extinction Part 2" just gave it a runner-up though. Magneto, who has returned to his old villain ways, is fighting the X-Men on his new base of Asteroid M. Wolverine, famous for his adamantium-coated claws and skeleton, stabs Magneto. Undeterred, Magneto uses his powers to tear out the adamantium from Wolverine's body.
This bit, like most of the episode, is taken from 1993 "X-Men" comic crossover event "Fatal Attractions." The episode ends with a shot recreating a panel from "X-Men" #25 (drawn by Andy Kubert) of liquified adamantium heeding Magneto's call and pouring out of Wolverine's battered body. Writer Peter David first suggested this as a joke,...

"I am trying to be better," proclaimed Magneto — "Please... do not make me let you down." He was speaking to a small United Nations panel, but addressing humanity as a whole. So, of course, mankind again forced his iron (controlling) fist.
As of episode 9, "Tolerance Is Extinction Part 2," Magneto is once more an antagonist to the X-Men (I won't say "bad guy"). He puts on his old red outfit, complete with the telepathy-blocking helmet. Regrettably, I don't think we'll be seeing Magneto back in the opening credits team line-up anytime soon, if ever again.
This heel U-turn is far from unmotivated, though. The season's Big Bad, Bastion, orchestrated the genocide of mutant nation Genosha and intends to build a future where human/Sentinel hybrids rule enslaved mutants. Magneto is a Holocaust survivor (a tragic backstory that "X-Men '97" has maintained). He's always refused to...

This X-Men ’97 article contains spoilers.
For all of the many, many logic leaps that superhero stories require, one of the most glaring occurred in X-Men. Why would the X-Men employ Wolverine, a guy with a metal skeleton, to fight Magneto, a guy who controls metal with his mind? Sure, occasional stories addressed this question, at least by having Magneto toss the ol’ Canucklehead across a room from time to time. But the Master of Magnetism rarely pressed his advantage.
Except, that is, for one story, which laid the groundwork for the ninth episode of X-Men ’97, “Tolerance is Extinction Part Two.” The episode recreates a scene from 1993’s X-Men #25, written by Fabian Nicieza and penciled by Andy Kubert, in which Magneto does the unthinkable (or the inevitable?) and tears the adamantium skeleton out of Wolverine’s body.

Has there ever been a more bonkers superhero than Deadpool? Equal parts violent and zany, this lethal mercenary, also known as the "Merc with a Mouth," first appeared in the "New Mutants" comic series in December 1990, albeit as a villain. Created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza, Deadpool (aka Wade Wilson) went on to star in his own mini-series. He eventually gained notoriety for his dark humor, meta-commentary, and affinity for breaking the fourth wall. Over the years, Deadpool has teamed up with or battled alongside Marvel's hero gallery and has since become one of the brand's most popular characters. In fact, according to Gitnux Marketdata Report, he's the most liked character on Facebook. So take that, Iron Man!
The release of 2016's "Deadpool," starring Ryan Reynolds as Wilson, further cemented the character's popularity. Uniquely, this was the actor's second stint in the role, though the less said about his...

Here's a return no one saw coming: Aaron Stanford is appearing as the mutant Pyro in "Deadpool & Wolverine," reprising his role from "X2: X-Men United" and "X-Men: The Last Stand." It feels like the movie settling for whatever cameo it can secure since Pyro is very much a B-lister among the X-Men.
St. John Allerdyce (just John Allerdyce in the movies) has the mutant ability of pyrokinesis, or controlling fire (hence his adopted name of Pyro). However, it comes with a caveat. Unlike, say, Firebenders from "Avatar: The Last Airbender" or Colonel Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist, from "Fullmetal Alchemist", Pyro can't create fire. Hence, his comic costume has a dual hose flamethrower (with the tubes affixed to his wrist) to create the flames for him, which he can then manipulate.
Mr. Allerdyce is Australian (with the accent to show it), continuing the trend started in the reboot...

A decade on from its fateful leak, a look at how a two-minute Deadpool test reel has led to Deadpool & Wolverine – a film that is about to change the MCU.
The general public was never even meant to see it, and yet the test footage for Deadpool has made more of a dent on pop culture than some multi-million dollar films with huge marketing departments behind them.
To this day, nobody has publicly admitted to leaking that footage in 2014. Some have pointed the finger at director Tim Miller; franchise star Ryan Reynolds has playfully hinted that he might have uploaded it to the internet that July. There are theories that the studio that commissioned it, 20th Century Fox, may have leaked it deliberately as part of an elaborate publicity campaign.

Like the original X-Men: The Animated Series before it, X-Men ’97 has been a masterclass in adapting (and updating) classic comic book storylines in ways that make them feel fresh and surprising. The latest episode, “Bright Eyes,” continues this tradition.
“Bright Eyes” deals with the fallout of the destruction of Genosha, with both a beautiful eulogy that Nightcrawler delivers at Gambit’s funeral but also Rogue going, well, rogue to punish those behind Remy’s death. But the biggest reveals involve not just confirmation of Cable’s relationship to Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor, but also that Magneto is still alive and being held hostage by a new villain, one with major ramifications for the rest of this animated universe…

In present times, Deadpool is arguably one of the most popular comic book characters, if not the most popular. His unique personality sets him apart from the typical superhero archetype, where one has to be noble, and morally upright, and his wit, sarcasm, and constant engagement with the readers make him refreshing and unconventional.
Deadpool in Marvel Comic books
But what sets apart The Merc with a Mouth is his tendency to address the audience directly and acknowledge events from the real world, setting him apart from other heroes. The hero has done it again as he breaks the fourth wall by making a subtle gesture that pays homage to Chainsaw Man.

Spoilers for "X-Men '97" to follow.
Love is in the air on "X-Men '97" with Rogue and ... Magneto??! Apparently, the two have a history. Now that Magneto has joined the X-Men, old feelings are surfacing.
In episode 2, "Mutant Liberation Begins," the pair share a private chat dancing around their history; Magneto tells Rogue he made a mistake by shutting Charles Xavier out (with a psychic-blocking helmet and all), saying he should've kept people who cared for him close — implicitly including Rogue too. She says she wants to keep their past buried, but at the episode's end, they meet in private again; apparently, Magneto's power can nullify Rogue's deadly touch, so she can experience intimacy with him that she can't with anyone else. A heartbroken Gambit spots Rogue exiting Magneto's office.
The third and most recent episode, "Fire Made Flesh," continued the teasing. Rogue/Magneto apparently haven't admitted the connection to their comrades,...

Rob Liefeld, creator of the comic book character “Deadpool,” has debuted a proof of concept trailer for a film called “Bloodstrike,” directed by stunt coordinator Philip J. Silvera.
In a detailed Instagram caption, Liefeld revealed the vision for his new project and how the trailer came to be. He began by relaying the difficulties involved in bringing a movie to the big screen.
“When taking a comic book from page to screen there are always hurdles, screenplay, screenwriters, talent that attach and move on. It gets old really fast,” he wrote.
Liefeld and Silvera, who worked on “Deadpool” and other Marvel films, shared an artistic synergy.
“I have waited to connect with a director with the same zeal for the material, someone who can nurture it to the finish line, be a true partner in the process,” Liefeld wrote. “I met Phil Silvera on the first Deadpool film. He had...

Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to become a “significant investor” in global children’s media company Genius Brands International as part of his agreement to produce and star in the company’s animated children series, Stan Lee’s Superhero Kindergarten.
Shares of publicly-traded Genius Brands surged nearly 10% in premarket trading Monday on the announcement that said Schwarzenegger has elected to receive warrants to buy Genius Brands common stock as an advance against his profit participation in the show. Any further payouts would likely to be in the form of cash.
The show will premier in 2021 in the U.S. on Amazon Prime. Created by Stan Lee as one of his final projects, the show is co-produced by Genius with China’s Alibaba Group, Lee’s Pow! Entertainment, and Schwarzenegger’s Oak Productions. Schwarzenegger also voices the lead character. Co-creator of Deadpool, Fabian Nicieza, is scripting the series.

The unstoppable big bad of Deadpool 2 isn't allowed in the X-Men's clubhouse, so Juggernaut is off to figure out his place in the world.
Since the 1960s, the Juggernaut has always been a major part of the X-Men corner of Marvel. Even though – much like Dr. Doom – he’s one of those villains who can be plugged in against any hero, Juggernaut’s existence always comes back to his origins as Charles Xavier’s demented half-brother. Over the years, he’s become something of an antihero at times or at least on the cusp of true reform. He joined the X-Men for a time and became a member of the Thunderbolts. Recently, his return to villainy was based on Xavier’s not-so-permanent death at the hands of Cyclops, as Cain Marko realized that he actually kind of loved his step-brother for always believing in him.

This year the character with the longest name in comics, and one of the coolest alter egos in comics, turns thirty years old. I am of course talking about the time-travelling mutant bad-ass that is Nathan Christoper Charles Dayspring Summers aka Cable. Although he has also been known as Askani’son, Chosen One, Traveler and Soldier X. Thirty years may not seem a lot at first glance when up against industry titans like Batman and Superman, or ever his fellow X-Men but when you consider Cable debuted as Cable in 1990 pre the comic market crash and then he came out the other side and years later was the co star of a very successful movie and you could argue he is more popular than ever! Then I would say things have turned out pretty decent for the baby with the glowing eye.
What word best sums up Cable? How about convoluted?...

There’s never been a better time to be a fan of superheroes or diversity in film. After far too long, filmmakers, studios, and audiences are aware that representation on screen matters, and it doesn’t have to come at the cost of a compelling story relatable to everyone. To fans of comic books, however, this seems like common sense. In the past 25 or so years, a deluge of characters from a variety of social, economic, and ethnic backgrounds became beloved and iconic in the eyes of fans. Marvel studios is the biggest powerhouse in the superhero genre right now. They also have two Asian-led solo projects coming in just a few years. First is the character Shang-Chi who, despite his early ties to the Yellow Peril phenomenon, will be a powerful (in all senses of the term) addition to the McU roster. Also coming will be fan-favorite Kamala Khan,...

Genius Brands International has announced it is launching the animated children’s series “Stan Lee’s Superhero Kindergarten,” which marks the final project Lee developed before his death in November 2018 (via Business Insider). The series stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as former superhero Captain Courage, who has traded in his life of fighting crime for being a kindergarten teacher that helps train young superheroes. Schwarzenegger told Business Insider he had been meeting with Lee for years trying to figure out a project the two could work on together. “Superhero Kindergarten” was born out of Lee’s love for Schwarzenegger’s 1990 comedy “Kindergarten Cop” and Schwarzenegger’s own desire to make a sequel to the movie.
“It is an honor and privilege to help carry on Stan’s creative legacy by introducing this new group of superheros to preschool children around the world,” Schwarzenegger said. “Not only does Stan Lee’s ‘Superhero Kindergarten’ feature comedy and action,...

The killer success of Fox’s Deadpool franchise has made subversive superheroes and R-rated comic book adaptations all the rage in Hollywood so it’s no surprise to find a wave of elite assassins and lab-created warriors following in his ultra-violent footsteps. What is surprising, however, is how many of the characters have sound-alike names and similar backstories. Below is our “who’s who” index of five comic book properties that are gunning for Hollywood hits but may find themselves in a brand-name crossfire in a marketplace crowded with high-caliber competition.

Exclusive: Shrink, a original IP based on Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld’s story about a female psychiatrist with a superhero clientele is being produced by Doug Belgrad and his production company 2.0 with producer Adam Fields and Liefeld at Sony Pictures. The project would mine the same comedic action vein as the R-rated Deadpool franchise, which is a wise-cracking, subversive twist on superhero movies.
The story has been described as a high-concept twist on Analyze This, and we hear that this was a mid-six against a seven figure deal for the comic book creator. Sony had no comment.
The project was found by Fields who basically dived into Sony’s 30 years of abandoned development and pulled out what looks to be a plumb project and potentially huge action/comic franchise for the studio from one of the signature names in the comic book industry — Liefeld, who became a fan-favorite artist in...

Marvel fans across the globe are heartbroken today as the legend that was Stan “The Man” Lee has sadly passed away at the grand age of 95. As well as the countless millions of superhero lovers out there paying their respects to Lee on social media, the stars of the many hit movies based off the Marvel universe he helped create have also responded to the comic book icon’s death.
Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds is among them and though the Merc with a Mouth isn’t one of Lee’s creations (that honor goes to Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza), Stan still made a cameo in the character’s first solo movie – a token of just how intrinsically linked he’s become to the whole Marvel mythos. The appearance is one of his best, too, and Reynolds decided to remind us of it by sharing a screenshot of Lee in Deadpool on Twitter.

A gladiator, a warrior, a hero…the man called Shatterstar has been many things, but one thing he’s always been is deadly. He’s not a man you want to cross or you’ll learn that fact all too well. Walk back into the darkness with Shatterstar!
Ok, confession time. Shatterstar has – since first discovering him in X-Force – been one of my all-time favourite superheroes for years. Even when he wasn’t appearing in any books! Now, truthfully, that’s more to do with how much of a badass he looks, rather than his actions (one of the reasons his recent Marvel Legends figure was a day one purchase for me!) – though he has one hell of a backstory, a backstory that is covered here in case readers are totally new to the character.

Deadpool aka Wade Wilson aka the Merc with a Mouth is currently tearing it up at the box office – much to the surprise of no one – as in just a few years, the anti-hero has become a true A-lister. This is all much to the annoyance of Deathstroke aka Slade Wilson – who Deadpool’s completely ripped off from, by the way – and he’s been laying out his frustrations in various promo material for Teen Titans Go! To The Movies – the latest of which arrived just the other week.
But first, let’s rewind a bit. For those who don’t know, the two characters’ similarities actually stretch back all the way to Dp’s birth in 1990.

Notoriously podophobic comic artist Rob Liefeld is finally having another day in the sun.
For a couple of years in the 1990s he was the biggest thing in comic books, with his New Mutants, Youngblood and X-Force titles defining the look of the medium with their penchant for giant guns, preposterous proportions and lots (and lots and lots) of extraneous pouches. Since that craze died down he’s been something of a punchline, with his awful Captain America becoming the byword for bad comic book art. But now, with Deadpool 2‘s release just a month away, Liefeld is having the last laugh.
Deadpool, who he created with writer Fabian Nicieza back in 1991, is one of the most popular contemporary heroes, and the upcoming sequel is set to bring many Liefeld characters to the big screen as members of the X-Force team he created – who are essentially a more violent,...

As the man responsible for creating the Merc With a Mouth – an achievement he shares with comic book scribe Fabian Nicieza – Rob Liefeld knows a thing or two about what makes Wade Wilson tick.
It’s only fitting, then, that Liefeld gets the chance to deliver an incredible piece of artwork for Deadpool 2, one which comes to us by way of Fandango to mark the fact that, yes, tickets for this year’s raunchiest sequel are now on sale.
Produced alongside his frequent collaborator Mike Capprotti, Rob Liefeld identified the inspiration behind this particular poster (spoilers: it’s “New Mutants #98”), before heralding the addition of Zazie Beetz’s Domino to the wild world of Deadpool 2.

“We’re going to form a super-duper fucking group. And we’ll call ourselves…X-Force!”
Derivative though it may be, Wade Wilson and his ragtag group of crooks and time-traveling bandits are about to break new ground in Deadpool 2 with the formation of the X-Force, a collection of super-powered mutants with abilities to rival the Merc With a Mouth.
It’s all part of Fox’s plan to tee up the X-Force spinoff movie, which is already making headway under the direction of Drew Goddard, who knows a thing or two about blockbuster screenwriting thanks to his credits on Cloverfield, World War Z and The Martian. He also contributed to the screenplay underpinning Deadpool 2, so it should come as no surprise that Fox has elected him writer and director of X-Force, the feature adaptation of Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza’s eponymous comic.

People who pay attention to both Marvel and DC Comics might have noticed how Wade Wilson is more than a little bit similar to Slade Wilson. This is not a coincidence but rather an intentional choice on the part of Rob Liefeld, who meant it to be a nod to how the co-creator Fabian Nicieza pointed out that Deadpool was just Deathstroke when he saw the look of the character as well as his special abilities. However, that comparison isn’t one that most people in the present would make, not least because Deadpool has more than managed to differentiate himself

There are so many people that are thought of when thinking of comics. Len Wein may not be one of them, but he should.
Len Wein was a fantastic comic book writer and editor who was partly responsible for some of Marvel's greatest characters, most famous being Wolverine. This year has been a heavy year for comic book fans. A lot of influential people in the comic book world have passed. This one is a big one though and plenty of people are recognizing it. Joss Whedon, Neil Gaiman, Mark Millar, and Brian Michael Bendis are just a fraction of people who have posted on Twitter about their love and recognition for the man.
Besides Wolverine, Wein was responsible for helping make Swamp Thing, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Storm. In fact, the reboot of the X-Men back in the 70's was largely in part due to him. He was also known...

"Domino has the ability to subconsciously and psionically initiate random telekinetic acts that affect probability in her favor by making improbable (but not impossible) things occur within her line of sight...
"...thus causing her to have 'good luck' and her opponents to have 'bad luck'.
"This 'probability field' phenomenon can be anything from an enemy's equipment failure to hitting just the right switch with a stray shot to shut down an overloading nuclear reactor.
"But the full extent of her powers is still unknown..."

When any major crossover event published by the Big Two launches, tie-in books inevitably follow. With Secret Empire being no exception, three one-shots are set to drop this spring/summer – Uprising, United and Underground – each of which will explore how different corners of the Marvel Universe stand up to the forces of Hydra. And while those will no doubt make for intriguing reads, I couldn’t help but notice the absence of a complementary miniseries.
Apparently, Marvel was merely holding their cards close to their vest until just recently, for Secret Empire: Brave New World will be just that. It looks as though writer Paul Allor (Uncanny Inhumans) will act as the glue that holds a team of all-star creators together as they unite some of the most eclectic lineups of superheroes we’ve seen. But then again, I do suppose that a world overrun by...

In the past few years, DC Comics have partnered with General Mills to offer exclusive comics packaged inside some of the most popular cereal boxes on the market. Well, the time has once again come for us to hunt down more books featuring the Justice League at our local grocer.
Before we get to the limited edition comics themselves, let’s discuss what separates this year’s offerings from those previous: The fact that known creators are putting heroic spins on cereal mascots. Don’t expect drastic overhauls as people still need to recognize the fictitious spokesmen, but I’d still say they’re certainly memorable.
Here’s what you can expect to find greeting you as you stroll down the breakfast aisle: Honey Nut Cheerios’ BuzzBee as Batman, drawn by Dave Johnson; Multi Grain Cheerios featuring Wonder Woman,...

New York Comic Con has once again rushed by in a giant, fun, crazy blur, and although I didn’t get to nearly all the things I was hoping to, I did have a rockin’ time and see some really cool things I can share.
The first of these were a few great panels I landed seats for, including, as is my tradition, the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles panel. If you don’t know I love the current Tmnt, then what are you, new here? But seriously, I love it. And each panel I have gone to brings something new and different.
This panel (with Andrea Romano (voice director), Eric Bauza (Tiger Claw), Kevin Michael Richardson (The Shredder), Greg Cipes (Mikey), Rob Paulsen (Donnie), and Ciro Nieli (Executive Producer)) was particularly fun, because one of the things they did was a live read of episode #420, “The Super Shredder,” which...

The New York Comic Con is upon us once again, and I can’t wait. This year, as usual, I have a massive list of things I want to see, people I want to talk to, and, of course, merchandise I want to take a gander at (not to buy it, of course. Oh no no no! Certainly not, considering I have way too many collectibles already. I’m just going to look. Really. Just…you know, a little bit. No buying here, nosiree…um). There are also a few cool parties floating around…and you know how I love a good party.
Everyone who goes to Nycc has their own unique wish list of what they want to experience while there. But in case you aren’t sure what you want to see first, here are some of the things I’m most looking forward to. Maybe they’ll appeal to you,...

Tomato To-maw-to, Deadpool Deathstroke. They're basically the same thing, right? Wrong!
Sure, Marvel and DC fans know that these two mercs are about as far away from one another as you can get, but some fans can't seem to tell them apart.
Imagine the frustration from creator Rob Liefeld as he has to sit back and watch as people confuse the characters with one another. Well no more! Speaking with Nerdy Pop on YouTube, Liefeld outlined how very different these characters are from one another.
Check out the video below!
While the two characters are very different from one another, it is admittedly easy to see where the confusion comes from, as both characters have an iteration of the word "dead" in their names. What's more, both of their real names (Wade Wilson, Slade Wilson) end in -ade Wilson. One popular story is that one of the co-creators Fabian Nicieza,...
