Episode 151 - 90's X-Men · My Third Place Pod

• 0:00
  I've probably told this story a hundred times by
• 0:03
  now how I got into wrestling. If
• 0:07
  you haven't heard it yet, here's a little side quest
• 0:10
  flashback with a little speed to it. I'm
• 0:15
  gonna go through it real quickly. So
• 0:19
  stepdad and mom have a fight. He
• 0:22
  gets verbally and physically abused with her. She
• 0:24
  ends up taking me to the next door neighbor's house
• 0:26
  to vent because you know she needs to gossip with
• 0:29
  her best friend. Meanwhile, so I don't listen in on
• 0:32
  the gossip, the neighbor's son distracts me by
• 0:35
  watching a video tape of WrestleMania 3. Specific
• 0:38
  match in mind Hulk Hogan vs. Andre
• 0:41
  the Giant. I fall in love with
• 0:43
  wrestling. Rinse and repeat. It
• 0:48
  happens again and again and again. I
• 0:51
  come over to the friend's house. I
• 0:53
  become friends with them. I want to come over every
• 0:56
  day and hang out with them because they calm me down
• 0:59
  without hysterical about my mother getting hurt. The
• 1:06
  neighbor has a younger brother my age. We
• 1:09
  become homies. We become the best of friends
• 1:11
  from that point on. And either I'm coming home to
• 1:17
  my house or I'm going to there to hang out after
• 1:20
  school like a second place like a second home because
• 1:24
  I don't want to be a part of what I have to go
• 1:26
  through at my own. I hate it there. I
• 1:29
  hang out with my friends until the street lights
• 1:31
  come on. The 90s were built different.
• 1:37
  Not only did they introduce me
• 1:39
  to wrestling, but they introduced me to horror. I
• 1:42
  already talked about that in the October episodes,
• 1:45
  but there's more. Not only do they introduce me
• 1:49
  to wrestling and horror, they introduced me to
• 1:52
  superheroes. Okay, maybe not introduce me, but
• 1:57
  you know, prior to meeting them, I was a big fan of
• 1:59
  Thundercats Masters of the Universe. G
• 2:02
  .I. Joe, I had the toys. I
• 2:04
  was watching cartoons. I love everything about those
• 2:08
  specifics. Thundercats, big Thundercats fan. I
• 2:13
  was a big collector. I had anything to do with
• 2:15
  Thundercats posters, sticker booklets, Masters of the
• 2:20
  Universe, G .I. Joe, movies, TV shows, whatever.
• 2:24
  I was watching that. I
• 2:27
  loved playing with the toys. It's
• 2:30
  how me and the older brother Eduardo, who's
• 2:32
  probably listening right now because he's asked me
• 2:36
  before about when the next episode of the podcast was
• 2:40
  going to be when I was on break a year ago. So
• 2:43
  I'm assuming he's listening in and hoping that I get
• 2:46
  him on the show real soon. Eduardo,
• 2:50
  you don't mind? We need to talk. We'll
• 2:52
  get to talk soon, sir. So he gets me. One
• 2:56
  day I'm playing outside with the toys and he comes
• 2:59
  up and says what I had were awesome. And
• 3:03
  he told me he had a few of his own at home, at
• 3:05
  his house, at his place. Stop
• 3:08
  by and he will show them to me. No,
• 3:11
  I didn't think anything awkward of that. At
• 3:13
  the time we don't. We become friends. That's
• 3:16
  how friends become friends. Hey,
• 3:18
  I got a few toys. I'll show them to you. Okay,
• 3:21
  cool. Young and naive, you know, young.
• 3:25
  We're kids. We're
• 3:25
  young. Fast forward a few months later
• 3:28
  and I remember what he said about his toys. So
• 3:31
  he brings out his box. I recognize Superman because,
• 3:35
  well, I was a big fan. I'm
• 3:38
  still a big fan. Christopher
• 3:40
  Reeve will always be my favorite Superman. But
• 3:43
  when I was homesick from school, I would always
• 3:46
  watch the classics. I love Lucy and George Reeve.
• 3:49
  Superman Lucy. I
• 3:50
  met Lucy. That's Lucy. I
• 3:52
  love Lucy and George Reeve Superman. And
• 3:55
  that's how I would know about soups. And
• 3:57
  that's how I would end up breaking an elbow. I
• 4:02
  think that's what it was. I
• 4:06
  had a cape on and I flew and I hit the toy, the
• 4:10
  macho man, Randy Savage, big buddy, buddy toy, yeah,
• 4:15
  the plush pillow. And I, you know, had a cape.
• 4:19
  Whatever. I was aware that DC
• 4:21
  classic stuff is what I'm saying. But
• 4:24
  it wasn't until I got to a Dorado's house that I
• 4:26
  was unaware and introduced to the marble toys.
• 4:30
  Obviously, I knew about Hulk because
• 4:32
  I would watch the Incredible Hulk with Bill
• 4:34
  Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. But that's all that I knew.
• 4:38
  They bred out other toys from
• 4:39
  the Marble Line and tried to introduce me to them. I
• 4:42
  was familiar with Spider -Man and Fantastic Four
• 4:44
  because they were cartoons. But
• 4:46
  I was naive about the whole company. I
• 4:50
  started with one big superhero stuff. I
• 4:53
  even asked when Hulk was going to fight Superman. I
• 4:56
  didn't know. Back to the story. They
• 5:00
  knew I didn't know anything about this. So
• 5:01
  I was given a few comic books to introduce me to
• 5:03
  that. Still not paying attention. I'm
• 5:06
  young. I don't know any better. I
• 5:08
  see superheroes and I'm lost inside the pages.
• 5:11
  Every day after school I go to
• 5:12
  the store and I see a spinning rack full of comic
• 5:14
  books that I just stare at the pictures and smile
• 5:17
  because I know who they are. So
• 5:20
  where Dorado lets me borrow a few comic books to take
• 5:22
  home to read to get to know. I
• 5:24
  read them. One day my stepdad walks into
• 5:28
  my room because they still think I'm watching gorgeous
• 5:30
  ladies of wrestling. He sees that I have comic
• 5:33
  books and I try to hide them thinking I would get
• 5:35
  in trouble for having them. Making
• 5:37
  sure I have the right ones so he doesn't go enough
• 5:41
  and tell her. Instead he goes to his room pulls
• 5:43
  out a box grape full of comic books. Nothing
• 5:46
  but Batman stuff. I guess it's a part where I
• 5:49
  said we bonded. I guess we bond on that. It
• 5:56
  took me a whole year to finally catch up and read
• 5:58
  all the books and by that time I was going through
• 6:00
  another crate. Then that whole trip to
• 6:03
  Nicaragua happened. Y 'all heard the grandma
• 6:05
  stories. That's a year and a half. Two
• 6:09
  years maybe. I forgot when I left when I
• 6:11
  came back. Fast forward to when I went
• 6:13
  back home though. He introduced me to more comic
• 6:16
  books. This time five more crates. But
• 6:19
  the fact that he's still very physically abusive to
• 6:21
  my mom doesn't help. In 1993 we moved from LA to
• 6:27
  Sacramento with my uncle and my grandfather. On
• 6:31
  this big U -Haul truck I had the ten crates of
• 6:34
  comics with me that was basically all DC stuff
• 6:37
  until he told me my uncle told me his comic books
• 6:41
  would blow mine out of the water. He
• 6:43
  showed me his. Marble. X. Everything.
• 6:50
  X -Pors. X -Factor. X
• 6:51
  -Men. Iron Man. Hulk.
• 6:56
  All that stuff. He basically just introduced me
• 6:59
  and told me the difference between Marble, DC, Image.
• 7:03
  He introduced me to Spawn and
• 7:05
  then showed me his collection of toys and from
• 7:08
  that moment on I was a big fan of everything
• 7:12
  Superhero. I even told my classmates
• 7:16
  that I had eight crates of comic books and brought
• 7:19
  them for show and tell. They
• 7:20
  didn't believe me at first. I
• 7:22
  only brought one case. I lied. I
• 7:25
  only brought one case. They didn't believe that I had
• 7:27
  more. So they sent one of the
• 7:31
  students out there to go look. He
• 7:35
  sees it. He tries to like see borrow
• 7:40
  some so he can read some. My
• 7:43
  place suddenly becomes, hey, this guy has comic books.
• 7:47
  Let's go check him out.
• 7:51
  Obviously, I was new at the school
• 7:52
  and I was trying to hard to fit in until finally at
• 7:55
  lunchtime. Some kids were talking about the
• 7:57
  X -Men cartoons and I didn't even know that was
• 8:01
  a thing. I asked about it and they
• 8:04
  told me about the Saturday morning lineup and right
• 8:07
  there is what brought me to the dance. That's
• 8:10
  when I knew that I would always be a geek when I
• 8:14
  barely want to wake up early for school, but I
• 8:16
  love waking up early for a cartoon on Saturday
• 8:18
  mornings. Hey,
• 8:33
  hey! Hey! Welcome back to my podcast,
• 9:02
  listeners. We are gathered here today to
• 9:04
  bring back the show from a small height. I
• 9:09
  needed a break. Truthfully, I couldn't handle not being
• 9:12
  on here. I'm a volition of a geek evil
• 9:18
  if you're nasty. And we are back with another
• 9:22
  brand spanking new episode of From Under the Apron. I
• 9:27
  took that break as you all know. Every
• 9:30
  50 episodes I like to take one and refresh my head.
• 9:33
  Usually I come back with fresh new
• 9:35
  ideas or just revamp the show. This
• 9:37
  time is no different. As you all heard at the start
• 9:41
  of the show, my origin story of how I became a
• 9:44
  comic book fan slash wrestling fan slash horror
• 9:47
  fan. We're gonna get through the
• 9:49
  wrestling stuff again, no worries. I
• 9:51
  just want to talk about another subject that I
• 9:53
  love. So, my third place network
• 9:57
  fans. Catchy? You like that? Say
• 10:02
  I'm trying to like come up with something new to call
• 10:06
  you guys. Third place network squad. How's
• 10:09
  that? How do you like that? T
• 10:11
  -P -N -S. T -P -N -S. You're
• 10:16
  digging it? I hope you are. So,
• 10:18
  my third place network squad fans. Friends.
• 10:24
  I hope you are ready. Because
• 10:27
  while I was away I was watching X -Men 97 and
• 10:30
  thought I should do a rewatch of the original X
• 10:32
  -Men cartoons from the 90s and that's exactly what I
• 10:36
  did. I wanted to watch it from
• 10:37
  the start again because why not? And
• 10:41
  because I was so freaking, I loved the whole Deadpool
• 10:47
  and Wolverine thing that's going on right now. And
• 10:52
  I just want to like, I want to go back. I
• 10:55
  want to go back to when I was a child. I
• 10:57
  want to, nostalgia hit me and I want to go back to
• 11:02
  when I was happy, to when I was a little kid. No
• 11:05
  worries in my life and just tell you what I
• 11:08
  thought of the X -Men when I first laid eyes on them.
• 11:13
  So I went ahead and started
• 11:14
  from the beginning and thought I might as well
• 11:15
  discuss these episodes on here with y 'all. If
• 11:18
  y 'all let me, if y 'all want to be a part of
• 11:20
  this, keep listening. I'm still going to do season 3
• 11:25
  of Glow, Arresting and some music stuff as well as
• 11:28
  revisiting horror movies in October. I'm
• 11:31
  still going to do that. I got more ideas coming in.
• 11:33
  I talk to people. I'm
• 11:36
  going to interview people. I'm
• 11:37
  going to do more music stuff. Don't
• 11:40
  you worry. This show isn't going anywhere,
• 11:43
  babe. Okay, that was just too much.
• 11:47
  I'm not going to edit it out.
• 11:49
  I'm going to keep it. You're
• 11:50
  in here along with me with the corny stuff and the
• 11:54
  good stuff and the bad stuff. It's
• 11:59
  testing the water so to speak. But
• 12:02
  I wanted to talk about this after watching episode
• 12:05
  5 X -Men 97. Yes, that traumatic episode. Oh
• 12:12
  my God. Yeah, that cut. So
• 12:17
  I'm telling you, episode 5 got a lot of people from
• 12:21
  that era from the 90s. People
• 12:24
  that watched that show, we all felt that we all
• 12:28
  bonded to that drama. And we all, we all, we're all
• 12:35
  here. We're all here. So
• 12:37
  let's do a rewind and rewatch of X -Men in 1992.
• 12:41
  So how is this going to work?
• 12:44
  I don't know. It's
• 12:45
  going to be the same as how I've done it with
• 12:46
  Glee, Heel and Young Rock. Read
• 12:48
  the plot from the X -Men fandom website at times.
• 12:51
  Tell you that I will have bits
• 12:53
  of trivia here and there. And
• 12:54
  if by time permits, positively look up
• 12:57
  additional interviews from the creators, directors, or
• 12:59
  voice actors of the show throughout the years. I
• 13:02
  can't wait. When will these episodes be
• 13:05
  available? Depending on how many people listen
• 13:07
  to this episode itself. I'm just testing the waters.
• 13:11
  I'm still a wrestling podcast.
• 13:12
  I'm still talking about
• 13:13
  wrestling. But I want to talk about
• 13:15
  something else that I love. This
• 13:17
  is from under the apron, but it could be something
• 13:20
  more. I told you this before. I'm
• 13:22
  evolving this, this show. I'm
• 13:25
  evolving myself. I'm, this is gross guys. We
• 13:29
  are going to talk about everything that I love. But
• 13:35
  this is show. It's all for you as well. Tell
• 13:38
  me if it's something that listeners don't want to
• 13:41
  hear that I won't continue to do so. But
• 13:44
  how, how will I found out? You
• 13:47
  can send me a message at from under the apron at
• 13:50
  gmail .com and tell me yourself. You
• 13:53
  want me to continue doing these episodes or just
• 13:55
  stick to the wrestling and go go TV shows. Next
• 14:00
  season is season three and it's the last season. It's
• 14:03
  the final season. They didn't, they didn't pick up
• 14:05
  for a fourth season, but they wanted to do a movie.
• 14:08
  So we'll get back to that.
• 14:10
  First, I want to talk about X
• 14:13
  -Men from 1992. The first episode is right
• 14:17
  here. The first episode was called
• 14:19
  Night of the Sentinels Part One, released on October
• 14:22
  31st, 1992, created by Mark Edward Edens, Sydney Wander
• 14:26
  and Eric Lowald, directed by Larry Houston, written
• 14:30
  by Mark Edward Edens. The voice actors are Cedric
• 14:35
  Smith as Charles Xavier, Professor X, Norman Spencer
• 14:38
  as Scott Summers, Cyclops, Cal Dodd as Logan
• 14:41
  Wolverine, Iona Morris as Aurora Monroe, Storm,
• 14:45
  Catherine Disher as Jean Grey, George Bousa as Hank
• 14:49
  McCoy, Beast, Lenore Zan as Rogue, Chris Potter as
• 14:53
  Laramie Labot, Gambit, Allison Cort as Jubilation
• 14:57
  Lee or Jubilee, Ron Rubin as Morph, Len Carlton as
• 15:00
  Robert Kelly, Jubilee's foster father, and Len
• 15:04
  Carlton as Robert Kelly and Jubilee's foster father, Don
• 15:07
  Franks as Graden Creed Sr., very flat -man as Henry
• 15:11
  Peter Guy -Rich, David Fox as Sentinel, Britt Halsey
• 15:15
  -Ballabar, Trask and Jubilee's mother, Martha,
• 15:20
  unknown actress, they didn't say anything about it here.
• 15:23
  Initially, another actor was cast as
• 15:26
  Jubilee, while the ad actress was a professional.
• 15:28
  She had a sweeter and cuter
• 15:29
  voice that was not what the producers wanted to
• 15:31
  portray. Allen Goon Cort was brought in
• 15:34
  to record the pilot at a great expense. She
• 15:37
  had to record a third time after writing three parts
• 15:40
  and a fourth time after recording more episodes.
• 15:45
  Semnausis, a young girl finds her
• 15:47
  world turned upside down when an enormous robot
• 15:50
  begins hunting her due to her developing mutant
• 15:52
  powers. On the run from those who
• 15:55
  hate her, she heads straight into the world of
• 15:57
  young cunny X -Men. They learn that the HMU outreach
• 16:00
  program has a sinister secret and launch an all
• 16:02
  -out attack to stop it. So when we meet these X -Men,
• 16:07
  I'm also going to tell you the comic books that they
• 16:12
  first appeared in, what comic books is essential to
• 16:16
  read on this while watching this episode, all that
• 16:19
  stuff. So let's begin. A
• 16:24
  large man growls as he lifts two men above his
• 16:26
  head. A reporter explains that there
• 16:28
  was a violence in the downtown area believed to
• 16:31
  have been started by a mutant. The
• 16:33
  attacker throws the men in different directions. One
• 16:36
  man flies another into another who is swinging a
• 16:39
  chain and standing next to a smashed car and broken
• 16:41
  fire head and crushing water into the street. That
• 16:45
  large man being Savitude, the original portrayal of
• 16:48
  Savitude was that of a non -powered serial killer, but
• 16:51
  was later written as a mutant possessing bestial
• 16:54
  super -wrap human abilities. Most
• 16:56
  notably a rapid healing factor, razor shark fangs
• 16:59
  and claws and super human senses. He
• 17:03
  is a vision assassin who was responsible for numerous
• 17:05
  deaths throughout history, both as a paid mercenary
• 17:08
  and for his personal pleasure. Account
• 17:10
  on how his enmity, which Wolverine originated first
• 17:16
  depending on different writers, one of the most
• 17:18
  common accounts that Wolverine and Savitude were
• 17:20
  both participants of the Cold War, Super Soldier
• 17:23
  Program, and what happened next in that Sabersuit, saw
• 17:27
  Wolverine as competition and therefore antagonized him.
• 17:31
  While Wolverine is depicted as
• 17:32
  suppressing his more savage qualities, Savitude does the
• 17:35
  opposite and praises him until the events of the
• 17:37
  24th storyline access. The character has appeared on
• 17:41
  several X -Men media, in live action he is portrayed
• 17:43
  by Tyler Mayne, a wrestler, in the film X -Men 2000
• 17:48
  and by Lee Schreiber, a striber, and by Lee
• 17:53
  Schreiber in the film X -Men Origin, Wolverine 2009,
• 17:57
  in May 2008, Wizard Magdalene ranked Savitude
• 17:59
  193 of the 200 best comic characters of all time. In
• 18:04
  2009, Savitude was ranked as IGN's 44th greatest
• 18:07
  comic villain of all time. Back
• 18:10
  to the show, the reporter claims that this feeling
• 18:12
  anti -mutant hysteria that is spreading across the
• 18:14
  nation, the Mayne, stormed by a flaming card and
• 18:17
  grabbed onto a stopping police car, three more
• 18:19
  surround the meeting. Savitude
• 18:21
  lifts the car and the two officers inside escape, four
• 18:24
  more cars surround Savitude as he lifts it above its
• 18:27
  head and flings it to the air. The
• 18:30
  reporter goes on to say, with his claims there was
• 18:33
  just one attacker that was big in Harry. Elsewhere
• 18:37
  a man turns off the television and ending the
• 18:39
  report as the car explodes with a camera, he tells
• 18:42
  his wife, Martha, that she is one of them and needs
• 18:45
  help. Martha wonders how he could have
• 18:49
  registered her with the Mutant Control Agency, like
• 18:52
  she is some sort of criminal getting in his
• 18:54
  face. The man explains that the
• 18:56
  agency is not a prison but an outreach program to help
• 18:59
  unfortunate people. He embraces his wife, explains
• 19:02
  that this is for her own good and that he loves
• 19:05
  Jubilee. Martha starts crying, wondering
• 19:08
  what will happen to her. He
• 19:09
  doesn't know but worries that her powers will be
• 19:11
  discovered and that others will not understand. At
• 19:14
  the top of the stairs, Jubilee overhears. She
• 19:16
  wonders why this is happening to her since she
• 19:18
  used to be a normal kid. She
• 19:20
  crouches to the ground and begins to cry. Outside,
• 19:24
  a large robot flies overhead and crossed the
• 19:26
  moon. It lands on the street,
• 19:28
  crushing a streetlight and crumbling the sidewalk. A
• 19:31
  dog runs up to it and begins barking. The
• 19:35
  robot is known as the Sentinel and is created by
• 19:38
  Stanley and Jack Kirby. The first to appear in the X
• 19:40
  -Men No. 14, November of 1965. Sentinels
• 19:45
  are programmed to locate humans and capture or kill
• 19:47
  them, though several types of sentinels have been
• 19:49
  introduced, the typical Sentinel is three stories
• 19:52
  tall. It is capable of flight,
• 19:53
  projects, energy blasts, and can detect humans, mutants
• 19:57
  actually, I'm sorry, and can detect mutants. Pursuing
• 20:00
  genocide as a means of dealing with a threat has
• 20:02
  made the Sentinels an analogy for racial hatred
• 20:04
  and other negative types of fanatism in Marvel stories.
• 20:09
  Represent the horrific consequences of
• 20:11
  humanity's actions based on hate and ignorance, along
• 20:13
  with a caution of the risk of AI takeover. Back
• 20:17
  to the show, the Sentinels eyes glow and they try to
• 20:19
  snatch a dog. Luckily, the animal runs away. The
• 20:24
  robot stands the once more towering over the three
• 20:27
  -story building. It begins scanning the building
• 20:29
  as it walks along the street. Nobody
• 20:31
  can hear this apparently, you know, since it like,
• 20:34
  made a big splash on the street and, you know,
• 20:40
  earthquake or something, but nobody can hear, robot just
• 20:43
  walking down the street, okay. Inside
• 20:47
  the house, Mark don't wonder if they're wrong and
• 20:49
  she isn't really a mutant. The
• 20:51
  father says she must be kidding. He
• 20:53
  opens the entertainment center, reminds her what
• 20:55
  you believe did to the VCR by safely touching it. He
• 20:57
  points to the burnt and damaged device. Outside
• 21:01
  the Sentinels smashes through trees as it
• 21:03
  continues this march, so nobody can hear it still.
• 21:06
  It stomps on the road next to
• 21:07
  a car causing it to tip on its side. Whoever
• 21:11
  is driving sees a big giant robot and doesn't
• 21:13
  call for help. Okay, Martha Asker has a husband.
• 21:18
  If he regressed taking Jubilee
• 21:19
  in, he retorts that he does not. Upstairs,
• 21:23
  the Sentinels peek into the window of Jubilee's room.
• 21:24
  The eyes illuminating the room.
• 21:27
  It smashes its arm through the
• 21:28
  window and inside. The parents hear the noise
• 21:31
  upstairs and gasp. The Sentinels grab the bed, but
• 21:34
  when it pulls it out, it finds that there are no
• 21:36
  living objects inside. It drops the bed, begins to
• 21:39
  track and program and stomps away. No.
• 21:43
  Okay, Martha calls out to Jubilee asking if she's
• 21:46
  alright. When she opens the door, she
• 21:48
  sees the destruction and screams. She
• 21:50
  didn't have any kind of urgency to just run
• 21:53
  upstairs. She's just like, Jubilee, are you
• 21:57
  alright honey? Open the door, she's like, oh
• 21:59
  my god! I mean, I would be expecting
• 22:01
  something bigger. Later in an arcade, Jubilee plays
• 22:06
  at one of the machines. She
• 22:07
  fires at her enemies, but is grabbed by a giant
• 22:09
  creature. However, she is depressed at the
• 22:12
  thought that her adopted parents are ashamed of her,
• 22:14
  since she thought they loved her. He
• 22:16
  then threatens the game's enemies. Her
• 22:17
  character escapes the creature's clutches and
• 22:19
  continues firing. Outside of mall, the Sentinels
• 22:24
  stomps through the parking lot. People
• 22:26
  scream as the cars around them shake with each
• 22:28
  footfall. However, one kid wants his mother
• 22:31
  to buy him one and runs after it with the mother
• 22:32
  chasing him. It crushes the front of one
• 22:35
  car, causing people to flee in terror. A
• 22:37
  woman runs to a police officer demanding that he
• 22:40
  do something he asked what he's supposed to do, as it
• 22:43
  stomps by them. The Sentinels scans the parking
• 22:46
  lot and claims that it's closing in on its target.
• 22:50
  Back in the arcade, Jubilee
• 22:51
  wonders what has wrong with being in a meeting anyway.
• 22:54
  Just then, sparks fly out of
• 22:56
  her hand and destroys the arcade game. She
• 22:58
  cries out, she cries out, that does this happen
• 23:01
  again. As the crowd gathers to see
• 23:03
  the arcade manager, who looked just like Stanley,
• 23:08
  with the E in the middle of his shirt, excels here.
• 23:14
  The arcade manager angrily asks
• 23:16
  if she knows how much those machines cost. She
• 23:19
  flips down her glasses, claims a quarter, and slips
• 23:22
  from her soda. Ooh, the sass. He
• 23:26
  then realizes that she is one of them, a mutant.
• 23:30
  Jubilee runs out of the arcade
• 23:31
  with the man yelling that he doesn't want mutants
• 23:34
  around here, mutants. The video game chop -owner is
• 23:41
  the uncurrent appearance of Stanley, wearing a shirt
• 23:44
  with a big E on it, presumably, for Stanley's
• 23:47
  motive. Excels here. Excels
• 23:51
  here. As she runs, she complains
• 23:55
  about how stupid the man is. Wow,
• 23:58
  that's funny. Without looking where she is going,
• 24:00
  Jubilee bumps into two women, causing them to drop
• 24:01
  their boxes. After three of them crash to the
• 24:04
  ground, Jubilee yells at the two to look where they
• 24:06
  are going. She grabs her glasses and runs
• 24:08
  off. The Southern woman wonders what
• 24:09
  was wrong with her while the white -haired woman
• 24:11
  begins to pick up the mass of boxes. Jubilee
• 24:15
  runs around the corner past Larry's bookstore. A
• 24:18
  janitor picks up an empty glass when he looks up
• 24:20
  through the window to see a giant robot outside in
• 24:22
  the screams. Nobody can hear the scream,
• 24:25
  apparently. The Southern woman is rogue,
• 24:28
  and the white -haired woman is storm. Rogue
• 24:30
  first appeared in Avengers Admiral No. 10 in 1981 in
• 24:33
  her comic book appearances. Rogue
• 24:35
  is depicted as a mutant, a sub -species of human born
• 24:38
  with an X gene that grants superhuman abilities. She
• 24:41
  is capable of absorbing the life force, attributes,
• 24:43
  memories, and superpowers of anyone through physical
• 24:46
  touch. Rogue isn't that she portrayed as
• 24:49
  a reluctant super villain, but she soon joins the X
• 24:51
  -Men Superhero. Rogue has since endured one of
• 24:53
  its most prominent members. Often
• 24:56
  listed as one of the most notable and powerful female
• 24:58
  characters in Marvel Comics, Rogue has been adapted in
• 25:01
  various media incarnations, and a pack would portray
• 25:04
  the character in 20th Century's Fox X -Men film
• 25:06
  series while the Norsean, Megan Black, and Kieran Van
• 25:09
  Den Blink have provided her voice in animation. Storm
• 25:14
  first appeared in Giant Slides X -Men No. 1 in May
• 25:17
  of 1935, descended from a long line of African witch
• 25:20
  priests. She is able to control the
• 25:22
  weather and atmosphere, and is considered to be one of
• 25:25
  the most powerful mutants on the planet, and one of
• 25:28
  the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe. One
• 25:32
  of the most prominent characters in the X -Men
• 25:34
  series, Storm has appeared in various forms of media
• 25:36
  relating to the franchise, including animation,
• 25:40
  television, video games, and series of films. The
• 25:42
  character was first portrayed in live action by
• 25:45
  Halle Berry in the 2000 film X -Men. Berry
• 25:47
  returned to portray the role in sequels X -2, X
• 25:50
  -Men Last Stand, and X -Men Days of Future Past. The
• 25:53
  younger version of Storm was portrayed by Alexander
• 25:55
  Shipp in the 2016 film X -Men Apocalypse. Shipp
• 25:59
  had a cameo in Deadpool 2 and reprised her role in
• 26:02
  the 2019 film X -Men Dark Phoenix. Outside,
• 26:07
  people continued to scream as it runs. Outside,
• 26:12
  people continued to scream and run as it punches its
• 26:13
  way through the windows. It tells the people not to be
• 26:15
  alarmed as it is only going to serve and protect.
• 26:19
  However, people inside are now
• 26:20
  screaming and running. In the store, a southern man,
• 26:26
  known as Gambit, looks at several playing cards. They
• 26:28
  are attracted, clerked, by asking if he likes to play
• 26:33
  cards. Neither notice the sensional
• 26:35
  stomping by because nobody notices the sensional
• 26:38
  stomping by. A Gambit approacher and flirts
• 26:41
  back that he likes solitaire unless he has
• 26:44
  someone to play with. Adult joke in a kids TV show
• 26:52
  How Nighties. The Gambit made his first
• 26:54
  appearances in the uncunny X -Men annual number 14 of
• 26:59
  July 1990. In the uncunny X -Men 266 in
• 27:03
  August 1990, Gambit has the ability to mentally create,
• 27:07
  control, and manipulate pure kinetic energy to his
• 27:09
  desire. He is also incredibly
• 27:11
  knowledgeable in skill and card throwing. Hand
• 27:14
  to hand combat and use of a bow staff. Gambit
• 27:18
  is known to charge playing cards and other raw objects
• 27:20
  with kinetic energy using them explosive and
• 27:22
  projectiles. He was part of Thieves Guild
• 27:25
  before becoming a member of the X -Men. Given
• 27:28
  his history, few X -Men trusted Gambit when he
• 27:30
  joined the group. There was consistently a source
• 27:33
  of stress between him and an Alaphagian on again.
• 27:35
  Love interest and eventual wife
• 27:37
  Rogue. This was excavated when Gambit's
• 27:41
  connection with the villain, Master Sinister was
• 27:44
  revealed. Although some of his team members
• 27:46
  accepted that Gambit honestly seeks redemption.
• 27:49
  Often portrayed as his ladies
• 27:50
  man, Gambit has shown a more vulnerable side of
• 27:53
  himself for the years. Especially
• 27:56
  when it comes to Rogue. Gambit
• 27:59
  is a Cajun from New Orleans. He
• 28:00
  is pretty proud of his heritage and speaks both
• 28:02
  Cajun English and Louisiana French. Gambit
• 28:06
  made his live action debut in a 2000 film X -Men
• 28:09
  Origins, Wolverine portrayed by Taylor Kish. Back
• 28:12
  to the show, Jubilee runs to the escalator and rides
• 28:15
  it down. She pushes up her glass in
• 28:16
  which she hears screaming in the distance. Just
• 28:18
  in a group of people run up the escalator shoving
• 28:21
  her aside. She tells them to watch out.
• 28:24
  She stands spotless and no
• 28:26
  stopping by. Visually a shake as she hopes to
• 28:28
  see it's merely mall security. That
• 28:30
  big? Unfortunately the robot's boss are just
• 28:33
  before she moves under a walkway. It
• 28:34
  crouches down and sees her exiting the escalator on
• 28:38
  the second floor. It zooms in on her face and
• 28:40
  identifies her as a target. According
• 28:43
  to the Sentinel's Heads Up Display, Jubilee's mutant
• 28:45
  file number is 051063244. Her
• 28:49
  full name is Jubilee. She is 5 '152 cm tall, weighs
• 28:55
  on 90 lbs, 40 kg. She is Chinese American and
• 28:58
  lives at 764 Lucille Court, West. Jubilee
• 29:01
  hears the screams out for help and runs away. Her
• 29:06
  voice actress is Alison Court, who is Canadian and
• 29:08
  does from the West. 051063 -244 Uncanny X -Men was
• 29:14
  created in 1963. The Uncanny X -Men number 244,
• 29:18
  which came out in January 17, 1989, which was
• 29:21
  Jubilee's first appearance. In
• 29:22
  the issue, Jubilee is attacked by a mutant
• 29:24
  hunting squad of normal humans. The
• 29:27
  Hollywood Maw is saved by Storm Rogue, Dastler, and
• 29:30
  Psylocke. That issue also featured Rogue,
• 29:33
  using Ms. Marble's mind inside hers, which was
• 29:35
  the inspiration for Rogue's tale. Hi
• 29:40
  everyone, I'm Lisa. And I'm Dawn. And
• 29:41
  if you've ever watched a TV show and thought to
• 29:43
  yourself, oh my god, that season finale plot twist

• 29:48

• 29:50
  wreck immediately. Then we think you'll fit right

• 30:39
  Happy listening. The
• 30:43
  sudden note stands its arm and a cable shoots out of
• 30:46
  its hand. As Jubilee runs up the
• 30:48
  escalator, the cable wraps around her. Standing
• 30:51
  outside Elizabeth's secret door. Because,
• 30:55
  you know, Victoria's secret. Rogue
• 30:57
  is stormed with their packages. Look
• 30:59
  at the close to the window. Suddenly
• 31:01
  a crowd of people run through screaming to run.
• 31:04
  The two watch them pass and
• 31:05
  Rogue wonders if there's a sale. Just
• 31:07
  then they hear Jubilee's cries for help. They
• 31:09
  turn and see the Sentinel lifting Jubilee to its
• 31:11
  face. The girl kicks the Sentinel and
• 31:13
  demands to be let down. In response, they twist her
• 31:16
  upside down. She then pleads with the
• 31:17
  Sentinel. Suddenly, thunder is heard as Storm
• 31:21
  introduces herself as mistress of the elements.
• 31:24
  And commands the Sentinel to
• 31:26
  release the girl. I love when she does that.
• 31:28
  Oh, Storm. You
• 31:30
  are but my queen. You are. She
• 31:34
  is shooting lightning from her fingertip with a cloud
• 31:36
  form above her and her eyes are completely white.
• 31:38
  Rogue asks her to lighten up on
• 31:39
  the speeches. Sugar. It won't be the first. It
• 31:43
  is the first, but it won't be the last. She
• 31:47
  ever said that. Trust me. Jubilee
• 31:49
  asks them to keep talking to the Sentinel. The
• 31:52
  Sentinel scans the tube, but it's unable to identify
• 31:55
  either one. It decides to ignore the two.
• 31:58
  It stands and Jubilee screams.
• 32:00
  Suddenly lightning courses over Storm
• 32:02
  and her clothes turn into a white uniform with a
• 32:04
  large cape. She flies into the air fires a
• 32:06
  blast of electricity at the robot. Can
• 32:14
  we note that this is the first time Rogue ever says
• 32:17
  the word sugar in my life is never the same after
• 32:21
  this? Because I, whenever someone asks
• 32:23
  for sugar, I remember mine. Let's
• 32:27
  just not talk about that. This
• 32:28
  is the only episode that Storm transforms her
• 32:30
  clothes. Very Houston suggests that her
• 32:32
  suit is the same unstable molecule used by the
• 32:34
  Fantastic Four as seen during David Cockroams' run
• 32:37
  on the comics. The blast hits the cable and
• 32:41
  drops Jubilee. The Sentinel turns to watch her
• 32:43
  fall. Storm flies down and catches her
• 32:46
  out of the air just before the robot can grab her.
• 32:48
  Jubilee is amazed that the woman
• 32:49
  can fly. The Sentinel orders the mutants
• 32:52
  to stop. Meanwhile, Rogue grabs the Oscar and
• 32:54
  rips it up. The Sentinel fires a blast from
• 32:56
  his hand, but the Oscar's stairs rise up and blocks
• 32:59
  it before it hits Storm and Jubilee. The
• 33:01
  Sentinel crouches down to see her. Storm
• 33:03
  and Jubilee land just as the woman flies into the
• 33:05
  air. She punches the Sentinel's head,
• 33:07
  knocking it back. Jubilee is amazed at what Rogue is
• 33:10
  doing in Hugged Storm. Storm
• 33:11
  wraps her arms around Jubilee and jokes that
• 33:13
  Rogue has a way with men. They
• 33:17
  watch as Rogue throws another punch. However,
• 33:19
  the robot retaliates for smacking her with its fist.
• 33:22
  She flips in the air and flies
• 33:24
  under another swing. Back in the store, Gamma says
• 33:27
  how much he likes the cards. He
• 33:29
  is about to say more when he hears the screams. Not
• 33:32
  paying attention, the clerk asks if he likes anything
• 33:34
  else. He walks out saying he will
• 33:36
  return soon. Rogue punches the Sentinel
• 33:38
  knocking it back. Basically, Gamma didn't hear all the
• 33:46
  screams. He didn't hear the commotion.
• 33:48
  He is now just hearing it. So
• 33:50
  what the maw is not... Gamma
• 33:56
  sees it coming towards him and runs away from the
• 33:58
  window. Rogue flies up to watch it
• 34:00
  storm. Orders Jubilee to wait there. She
• 34:02
  is amazed when Storm flies up in Augusta wind. The
• 34:05
  Sentinel's eye glows and sits up. The
• 34:07
  clerk cries out not knowing what it is. Gamma
• 34:10
  jumps at her insurance and deals with the damage. Then
• 34:12
  gets up and runs out. Storm
• 34:15
  flies up next to Rogue. Rogue
• 34:17
  wonders what that thing is. Suddenly
• 34:18
  the robot shoots at her and she throws its hands
• 34:20
  into the tomb. And a blast of the little
• 34:21
  skylight above and onto the roof. As
• 34:23
  they struggle to get it up, Storm knows that it
• 34:25
  might be a robot. With the two gone, the robot
• 34:27
  looks down at Jubilee, telling the mutant to stop.
• 34:29
  Jubilee wonders who is a mutant
• 34:30
  and runs away not wanting an answer. The
• 34:35
  Sentinel watches her round the corner and blasts the
• 34:38
  floor. Jubilee falls to the floor first.
• 34:41
  Jubilee falls to the first floor
• 34:43
  but is caught by the man. Yeah,
• 34:46
  the man! He asks where she is going
• 34:48
  and she replies anywhere but here. Suddenly
• 34:51
  the Sentinel walks up in order to stand aside as it
• 34:55
  must capture her. The man! Gambit
• 34:59
  holds up a playing card in his hand and the card
• 35:01
  glows. He throws it and explodes in
• 35:03
  the robot's chest. The Sentinel stands and backs
• 35:05
  away as more cards are floated against it. Jubilee
• 35:08
  wonders how Gambit is doing that and runs away. Gambit
• 35:12
  says, I love the way that Scambit says it. With
• 35:15
  style, Petey. With style. That
• 35:20
  will forever be living rent free in my head. How
• 35:24
  did you do that? With style, Petey. With
• 35:26
  style. He calls out to her to wait
• 35:30
  since he, Gambit, wants to help as he's a mutant as
• 35:33
  well. Wait, I'm a mutant too! He
• 35:35
  doesn't see until it's too late as the robot crutches
• 35:37
  down and fires directly at him. Jubilee
• 35:40
  runs down the mall freaking out about the strange stuff
• 35:44
  going on. Behind her, Gambit flies through a
• 35:49
  sign and into a car that can be won. Jubilee
• 35:54
  hides behind a column and watches the Sentinel
• 35:58
  approach Gambit. She hopes the robot doesn't see
• 36:01
  her. She turns and becomes frightened
• 36:03
  when the Sentinel stops to look at Gambit. The
• 36:06
  Sentinel scans Gambit, who struggles and groans to get
• 36:08
  up. Finding him unregistered, the robot
• 36:11
  declares him expandable. It then looks up to see
• 36:14
  Jubilee step out from behind the column. She
• 36:16
  tells the robot to get away from Gambit. Then
• 36:18
  she raises her hand and starts to fly out. They
• 36:21
  hit the robot and it stires back. She
• 36:23
  looks at her hands, not believing it. Just
• 36:25
  then Gambit sits up in order to run. The
• 36:28
  robot stomps past him. Jubilee
• 36:29
  runs outside wondering what she ever did and why she
• 36:33
  is a mutant. She says she is just a kid.
• 36:36
  The robot buzzes through the
• 36:37
  window and into the night air. He
• 36:40
  releases a canister from his hand and rolls past
• 36:42
  her with a knockout gas. She
• 36:44
  coughs as she stumbles upon a man in blue and yellow
• 36:47
  uniform and advises her. She
• 36:48
  asks who he is and replies that he is Cyclops. He
• 36:52
  orders her to get down. She
• 36:53
  begins to pass out saying she doesn't have a choice.
• 36:57
  Cyclops first appeared in the X
• 36:58
  -Men No. 1, September of 1963. He
• 37:01
  was created by Stanley and Jack Kirby. He
• 37:03
  has been a mainstay character of the X -Men
• 37:05
  series. The Cyclops emits powerful beams
• 37:07
  of energy from his eyes and can only control the
• 37:09
  beam with the aid of special eyewear, which he
• 37:11
  must wear at all times. He is typically considered the
• 37:14
  first of the X -Men. A team of mutant heroes will
• 37:17
  fight for peace and equality between mutants and
• 37:19
  humans and one of the team's primary leaders. Lee
• 37:23
  said that Cyclops and Bees were his two favorite X
• 37:25
  -Men, elaborating that I love tortured heroes and he
• 37:28
  was tortured because he couldn't control his power.
• 37:31
  Originally dubbed Slim Powered by the
• 37:33
  X -Men No. 3, his name was changed to Scott when Slim
• 37:38
  becoming a nickname. James Marsden initially portrayed
• 37:41
  Cyclops in the 20th Century Fox X -Men film while a
• 37:43
  younger version of the character was portrayed by
• 37:45
  Tim Polcock in the 2009 freakle film X -Men Origins
• 37:49
  of Wolverine. He was portrayed by Ty
• 37:51
  Sheridan in X -Men Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix
• 37:53
  as well as a cameo in Deadpool 2. Jubilee
• 37:57
  falls into Cyclops arms in the Roboblasma nearby. The
• 38:00
  lampposts are robust doms towards him. Cyclops
• 38:02
  knows that he used the energy of the blasts as,
• 38:04
  here's one from a pro. He shoots a beam of red
• 38:09
  energy from his visor. It blasts the robot through
• 38:11
  the neck, decapitating it. The
• 38:13
  robot falls backwards, smashing several nearby
• 38:15
  cars. His head crashes nearby. Jubilee
• 38:19
  moans on the ground. Later, a large mansion stands in
• 38:25
  the night. Insidiously lies an infirmary with
• 38:27
  machine beeping. She wakes and wonders where she
• 38:30
  is. Just then, sparks shoot from her
• 38:33
  arm along a cord connecting her to an EKG monitor
• 38:36
  causing it to short out. She
• 38:39
  takes off the monitor, the band gets out of bed and
• 38:41
  complains about all the machines. She
• 38:43
  creeps to the door and looks out the small window.
• 38:45
  She tries to door but finds a
• 38:47
  lock. She points at it but nothing
• 38:49
  happens. She holds up her finger knowing
• 38:51
  she can do something. Suddenly,
• 38:52
  a spark forms. She again points at the lock
• 38:55
  and this time it fires and explodes. The
• 38:58
  lock falls off in a large middle hallway. As
• 39:00
  she creeps out, Jubilee notes that the mutant
• 39:02
  powers do have their advantages. She
• 39:04
  opens the door and spots a large blue man grabbing a
• 39:06
  liquid filled flask next to a microscope. She
• 39:09
  gasps when she sees the man hanging upside down
• 39:12
  with his feet grabbing a bar. He
• 39:15
  pours the liquid into another flask knowing how
• 39:16
  bad it would be if it exploded. Of
• 39:18
  course, Beast, of course, it would flow. You're
• 39:21
  such a scientist. He flips and lands noting that
• 39:24
  his... interesting if it did explode. Jubilee
• 39:27
  runs by the doorway wondering how to get out.
• 39:32
  Large blue man with Beast
• 39:33
  originally called the Beast. The
• 39:36
  character was introduced at first appearance in X -Men
• 39:38
  1, September of 1963 as a mutant possessing eight -like
• 39:41
  superhuman physical strength and agility. Over
• 39:45
  size, hands and feet, a genius level intellect and
• 39:47
  otherwise normal appearance and speech. Stanley
• 39:50
  writes in the foreword to X -Men the ultimate guy
• 39:53
  that he made Beast the most articulate, eloquent
• 39:55
  and well -read of the X -Men to contrast with his
• 39:58
  British, brutish exterior, eventually being referred to
• 40:01
  simply as Beast. Hank McCoy underwent progressive
• 40:05
  psychological transformations gaining animalistic physical
• 40:09
  characteristics. These include blue fur, both
• 40:12
  swimming and feline facial features, pointed ears,
• 40:15
  fangs and claws. Beast's physical strength and sense
• 40:19
  increased to even greater levels. The
• 40:22
  characters also appeared in media adaptations including
• 40:24
  animated series and feature films. Kelsey
• 40:26
  Grammer played the Beast in X -Men the last stand while
• 40:29
  Nicholas Halt portrayed a younger version of the
• 40:31
  character in X -Men 1st class. Both
• 40:33
  Holt and Grammer reprised their roles in X -Men the
• 40:35
  eight -like feature past and Holt reprised the role in
• 40:39
  X -Men Apocalypse in Dark Phoenix while Grammer
• 40:41
  reprised the role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
• 40:43
  film The Marbles. Jubilee runs by another door when
• 40:48
  she hears a news broadcast. A
• 40:50
  Robert Kelly is announcing the attack at the newsland
• 40:52
  of Ma as part of ongoing meeting men in violence.
• 40:55
  Jubilee peeks inside to see a man
• 40:57
  watching the broadcast. Stanley
• 40:58
  changes the shape into the man on television in jokes
• 41:01
  and the other man's voice that he is an idiot. The
• 41:05
  meeting changes back to himself and laughs. The
• 41:07
  man changes the channel in season and advertisement for
• 41:09
  aggression. A Clone by Calvin Clune. A
• 41:13
  woman is shown in sitting at the feet of a man
• 41:14
  wearing a ripped shirt on the beach. The
• 41:16
  man then transforms to the man to add. Then
• 41:18
  the news report shows that Jubilee and the robot at
• 41:20
  the mall. And then also one of the
• 41:22
  people who was kidnapped by mutants from the film that
• 41:24
  night. The man then changes the
• 41:26
  Jubilee and repeats the line. Jubilee
• 41:28
  is shocked. Backs away and runs down the
• 41:31
  hall. That man was named Morph.
• 41:37
  Morph's first comic book appearance
• 41:38
  was in 1982's X -Men Adventures No. 1, which
• 41:40
  adapted the night of the Sentinel Stevie pilot. Then
• 41:43
  in 1995, inspired by the character in the anime,
• 41:46
  stairs, a new morph was featured in the age of a
• 41:49
  apocalypse. A crossover event, debuting in
• 41:51
  the one -shot comic X -Men Alpha. The
• 41:53
  character and the wind, a drastic change in appearance
• 41:56
  for this event, appearing white -skinned and hairless.
• 41:58
  Then in 2001, Marvel introduced
• 42:00
  an alternate reality version of this morph from Earth
• 42:02
  1081. He first appeared in Exiles 1.
• 42:08
  Jubilee enters a room with several
• 42:09
  chairs and monitors. You can hear several reports of
• 42:11
  ones. One notes that a strange woman
• 42:13
  was seen near the scene of the violence. Another
• 42:15
  claims that amateur video collared comes with
• 42:17
  something. The monitors show a pale white
• 42:19
  woman with a black patch of a rye domino. A
• 42:22
  man with fire shooting out of his leg. Cannonball.
• 42:25
  And that for the Genosha beach inn. Ooh,
• 42:29
  Genosha. Which I could grow there one
• 42:31
  day. Suddenly, the main monitor shows
• 42:35
  David Toot throwing people around. It
• 42:36
  cuts to another man wearing red armor and a helmet
• 42:38
  lifting tanks with powers from his hands. Magneto.
• 42:42
  We'll get back to him later. Then
• 42:44
  it cuts to the mutant -hating man saying that they
• 42:46
  need to treat all mutilist potential dangers to
• 42:48
  mankind. Senator Robert Kelly. Jubilee
• 42:51
  turns off the monitor. She begins to run, but she
• 42:53
  sees the head of the Sentinel. Then
• 42:55
  she hears the voices behind her and hide. A
• 42:58
  bald man in the hovering chair and a woman named
• 43:00
  Jean entered the room. The man claimed that what
• 43:03
  happened at the mall was inevitable. He
• 43:06
  knew the X -Men would be revealed to the public
• 43:09
  someday, but he had hoped for something different. The
• 43:14
  bald man is obviously Professor Xavier, Professor
• 43:16
  X, or Wheels, as Wolverine once said. And
• 43:20
  he first appeared in the X -Men No. 1, September 1963.
• 43:23
  The character is depicted as
• 43:24
  the founder and occasional leader of the X -Men. He's
• 43:27
  an exceptionally powerful telepath who can read and
• 43:30
  control the minds of others to both shelter and train
• 43:32
  mutants from around the world. He
• 43:34
  runs a private school in the X -Men chain in Salem
• 43:36
  Center, located in Wichester County, New York. Xavier
• 43:40
  also strives to serve a greater good by ruining
• 43:43
  people's coexistence and equality between humans and
• 43:46
  mutants in a world where zealous, anti -mutant
• 43:48
  migratory is widespread. Oh, it's still happening.
• 43:53
  Patrick Stewart portrayed the
• 43:54
  character in the first three films in the 20th
• 43:56
  Century Fox film series in various video games. While
• 44:00
  James McAvoy portrayed a younger version of the
• 44:02
  character in the 2011 prequel X -Men First Class,
• 44:05
  both actors reprised the role in the film X -Men
• 44:07
  Days of the Future Past. Stewart
• 44:10
  reprised the role in the film Logan, while McAvoy
• 44:15
  would further appear as a younger iteration of the
• 44:17
  character in the X -Men Apocalypse in 2016, Deadpool
• 44:21
  2 in 2018, and Dark Phoenix in 2019. Harry
• 44:24
  Lloyd portrayed the character in the third
• 44:26
  scene in the television series Legion. If
• 44:29
  you haven't seen Legion, you should check it out.
• 44:31
  Stewart again returned to the role
• 44:32
  portraying an alternate version of the character in
• 44:34
  the 2022 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Doctor Strange
• 44:38
  in the Multiverse of Madness. Gene
• 44:41
  Gray first appeared in the X -Men No. 1, September
• 44:44
  1963. Gene Gray was born in Psionic
• 44:46
  Powers. The character was also known as
• 44:49
  Marble Girl, Phoenix and Dark Phoenix at various
• 44:52
  points in their history. Often
• 44:54
  listed as one of the most notable and powerful female
• 44:56
  characters in Marvel Comics, the character has been
• 44:58
  featured in various other Marvel licensed projects,
• 45:01
  including video games, animated television series,
• 45:04
  and merchandise. Fanky Jensen portrayed the
• 45:07
  character as an adult in the 20th Century Fox film,
• 45:10
  while Sophie Turner portrayed her as a teenager
• 45:13
  and young adult. Gene stops when she sees that
• 45:16
  the monitors are off. Xavier
• 45:18
  holds his hands towards it and sees an image of
• 45:20
  Jubilee hiding just outside the room. He
• 45:23
  realizes that Jubilee did it and is trying to
• 45:25
  escape. He turns towards the door as
• 45:27
  she starts running down the hall. As
• 45:30
  she flees, an alarm begins, planning, and Professor X
• 45:32
  calls for code 3 intruder. She
• 45:35
  reaches the intersection, looks both ways and has
• 45:38
  left. Jubilee reaches the end of the
• 45:40
  hall and is stopped by a large door. There
• 45:42
  is a flashing sign above it calling the Danger Room.
• 45:45
  She hears a voice behind her
• 45:46
  telling a beast to check her way. Beast,
• 45:49
  the large blue man, runs down the hall then up on
• 45:51
  the wall. Jubilee begins pressing buttons at
• 45:53
  random. She then fires a blast at it
• 45:55
  and the door opens. However,
• 45:56
  the computer announces it is starting to gambit over
• 45:58
  in a training sequence. Jubilee
• 46:00
  runs inside as the massive door is closed. The
• 46:04
  room is completely dark until a brick wall appears
• 46:06
  before changing into a concrete one under the
• 46:08
  metal and rock wall. Jubilee
• 46:10
  is surprised and horrified as she turns around. A
• 46:12
  massive spike ball heads towards her. She
• 46:14
  begins ducks then runs, wishing she could go back
• 46:17
  to the giant robot. Gambit runs up and knows that
• 46:20
  there is no place for her. No
• 46:23
  place for you, petite. There
• 46:26
  is then three long middle claws break through a wall.
• 46:28
  Inside the hole is a man in a
• 46:30
  black yellow and blue uniform. Wolverine,
• 46:33
  bub. Wolverine first appeared in the last
• 46:35
  panel of the Incredible Hulk number 180 before
• 46:38
  having a larger role in number 181. Covered
• 46:42
  dated November of 1974 in the Bronze Age of comics.
• 46:45
  He was created by writer Len
• 46:46
  Wein and Marvel art director John Romita Sr.
• 46:50
  Romita designed the character's
• 46:51
  costume, but the character was first drawn by
• 46:54
  publication by Irv Treib. Since
• 46:56
  2017, Marvel had achieved an automatic acclaimed co
• 46:59
  -creator credit. He is a mutant with animal
• 47:02
  keen senses and enhanced physical abilities, a
• 47:05
  powerful regenerative ability known as the feeling
• 47:07
  factor. A skeleton reinforced with an
• 47:10
  unbreakable fictional metal adamantium and three
• 47:12
  retractable claws in each hand. In
• 47:14
  addition to the X -Men, Wolverine has been depicted
• 47:16
  as a member of X -Force Alpha Flight, the fantastic
• 47:19
  war in the Avengers. The common depiction of
• 47:22
  Wolverine is most fascinated as he is portrayed as once
• 47:25
  as a gruff loner susceptible to animalistic
• 47:29
  berserker regions. Berserker! I just love Mauraats.
• 47:34
  Berserker! Wait, was that Mauraats or
• 47:37
  was that... Clerks. Berserker! Okay,
• 47:42
  either way, I love Clerks and Mauraats. I
• 47:48
  love Kevin Smith. And... That's where I heard the
• 47:53
  song, right? Berserker! Alright, whatever. He
• 47:57
  is portrayed as once as a gruff loner susceptible to
• 48:00
  animalistic berserker regions, despite his best
• 48:03
  efforts while simultaneously being an incredible,
• 48:06
  knowledgeable, and intelligent polyglot,
• 48:08
  strategists, and martial artists, partially due to
• 48:11
  extended lifespan and expansive live experiences.
• 48:13
  He has been featured in comic
• 48:15
  books, films, animation, and video games. Do
• 48:16
  you really want to know the movie's has been? I'll
• 48:19
  tell you. He's appeared in most X -Men
• 48:21
  media adaptations, including animated television series,
• 48:24
  video games, and film, and live action Hugh Jackman,
• 48:27
  obviously. He portrayed the character
• 48:28
  across 10 installments of the X -Men film series
• 48:31
  produced by the 20th century Fox between 2000
• 48:33
  and 2018. 10 movies, between 20 years. And
• 48:38
  will probably be the role of the Marvel Cinematic
• 48:40
  Universe film Deadpool and Wolverine later this year
• 48:43
  in May. Troy Simon portrayed a young
• 48:45
  version of Logan in the 2009 film X -Men Origins,
• 48:48
  Wolverine. I can't wait for this movie
• 48:52
  to come out, finally. Gambit
• 48:55
  charges a card and throws it at Wolverine. The
• 48:57
  clogged man leaves out of the way as it explodes.
• 49:00
  Gambit falls to the floor and is
• 49:01
  then lifted up as the computer infuriates a
• 49:04
  piston. Gambit rolls off just before it
• 49:06
  crushes him in between another piston, though it
• 49:08
  takes part of his jacket. Gambit
• 49:10
  lands, but is tackled by Wolverine. He
• 49:12
  says that Gambit is now... It
• 49:14
  then raises his clawed hand as the game is over.
• 49:18
  Wolverine asks if the occasion has
• 49:19
  had enough and asks him to say, Say Uncle. Say
• 49:21
  Uncle. It's not Uncle, it says Say
• 49:25
  Uncle. Wolverine orders Wolverine not to
• 49:28
  hurt him and he turns in surprise as she shoots
• 49:30
  sparks from her hand, then knocks him back into the
• 49:33
  wall hard. The door opens and Storm Beasts
• 49:38
  and Morph enter. Storm asks if the child is
• 49:40
  alright. Wolverine groans and replies, She
• 49:43
  won't be for long. Wolverine
• 49:46
  backs up as Gambit stands, saying she wanted to help
• 49:49
  stop the fight. Beast and Morph laugh at
• 49:51
  Wolverine. He pulls out a claw and
• 49:53
  growls to stop them. They stop. Gambit
• 49:57
  reassures her that all she heard was his pride. She
• 50:00
  then asks what his place is. She
• 50:03
  then asks what his place is. Beast
• 50:04
  explains his park, gym, nation, and park to the
• 50:06
  river course known as the Danger Room. Storm
• 50:09
  leads Jubilee away, offering to explain who they are.
• 50:13
  Outside, birds fly away from the
• 50:15
  mansion. Storm leads Jubilee to the roof.
• 50:17
  Storm explains that they are all
• 50:18
  mutants. Jubilee wonders what a mutant is.
• 50:21
  Storm responds that no one knows
• 50:22
  who will be one when they are born, but they discover
• 50:25
  their powers at Jubilee's age. She
• 50:29
  goes on to say Professor Xavier is the leader of
• 50:31
  their team, the X -Men. She reassures Jubilee that they
• 50:35
  are safe there. Storm explains that she can't
• 50:37
  control the weather, hence her name. Jubilee
• 50:40
  knows that she makes sense as opposed to her name
• 50:43
  since she just blows stuff up. Storm
• 50:45
  reassures her that she is in the right place. She
• 50:49
  introduces a place as Professor Xavier's school
• 50:52
  for the gifted. Jubilee claims that gifted is just
• 50:54
  another word for mutants or riddles like her. Storm
• 50:57
  holds her, replying mutants like all of them. Jubilee
• 51:00
  thinks that they are too old for school and ask if
• 51:02
  they were held back. She's such a naive little girl,
• 51:05
  I swear. Storm explains that they learn
• 51:07
  something special there. She raises her arm and shoots
• 51:11
  lightning into the sky. Jubilee
• 51:12
  is shocked that winds blast her. Storm
• 51:15
  goes on to say that they learned to control the
• 51:17
  powers that help mankind. Jubilee
• 51:18
  blocking the wind with her arm asks her to stop
• 51:21
  already. Storm's miniature storms relent and
• 51:25
  Jubilee asks why people hate them. Storm
• 51:27
  responds that, and remember this for the rest of your
• 51:30
  life, because it will always be the truth. Storm
• 51:36
  responds that people hate what they do not
• 51:39
  understand. Hey,
• 51:53
  it's Evo. We're going to get back to the
• 51:55
  episode you're listening to, but first, let me tell you
• 51:57
  about Dark Fate Creations. Dark
• 52:00
  Fate Creations are candles that are vibrant, colorful,

  binging on all 130 episodes of the podcast. All
• 52:37
  fragrance blends have been heavily researched. Dark
• 52:39
  Fate Creations not only care about the look,

• 54:25
  to the team that he managed to retrieve part of
• 54:28
  a robot's special memory. He
• 54:29
  pulls up a scanner jubilee along with her information.
• 54:32
  Cyclops, Stormbeast, Jean, and Rogue
• 54:34
  sit around the console. Wolverine
• 54:35
  enters, and Rogue tells him to take a load off. He
• 54:38
  sees images of Jubilee in her room and asks if
• 54:41
  anyone knows... jeez Louise. He
• 54:46
  sees images of Jubilee in her room and asks if
• 54:48
  anyone notified her parents yet. Rogue
• 54:51
  explains they called, but no one answered. Xavier
• 54:55
  then points out an ID card picture. Xavier
• 54:59
  then points out an ID picture. He
• 55:01
  points out that it's from the Mutant Control Agency
• 55:03
  registration file. This is how the robot found
• 55:05
  her. Cyclops then wonders the government
• 55:07
  is plotting against Mutant. Xavier
• 55:09
  explains that the Mutant Control Agency is a private
• 55:11
  organization occasionally supported by the government.
• 55:13
  He theorized that someone at
• 55:14
  the agency has a hidden agenda. Meanwhile,
• 55:19
  on the other side of town, there's a car parked
• 55:21
  outside Jubilee's home. Inside,
• 55:22
  a man with glasses asks if Jubilee has any Mutant
• 55:25
  friends. He holds a picture of Storm
• 55:28
  and Rogue asking if they know them. Jubilee's
• 55:30
  father says they don't really know much about her
• 55:36
  friends. Mark the Pipe says she's only
• 55:38
  been with them for years since she was a foster
• 55:40
  child. The father says Jubilee always
• 55:42
  kept her secrets to herself. During
• 55:43
  this time, Jubilee gets off the bus. After
• 55:47
  she leaves, she breaks into a run, wanting to make
• 55:49
  sure her parents are safe. She
• 55:50
  does not notice another Sentinel standing behind
• 55:53
  some bushes between two buildings. Nobody
• 55:56
  knows that. You can see the legs right
• 55:57
  there, but you can't look up and see that there's a
• 56:01
  massive Sentinel standing in front of a building. In
• 56:05
  between two buildings, the robot looks out and watches
• 56:10
  her go. It moves away a tree and
• 56:11
  scans her. How? Okay. Jubilee
• 56:15
  tends to see it towering over her. She
• 56:18
  backs up and fires it. It's
• 56:20
  still as late at night. No,
• 56:21
  but he's looking out the window. Honey,
• 56:23
  what's going on? Just a Sentinel firing a Mutant.
• 56:26
  It's okay. I'm
• 56:27
  not worried. It blocks the blast with its
• 56:29
  hand and stands up. She runs and stomps after her.
• 56:32
  She runs into the street in
• 56:33
  front of a passing car. The
• 56:35
  man's stamina is breaking when the robot follows. See
• 56:38
  another passing car that doesn't do anything. She
• 56:42
  skids to a stop when the second robot walks out from
• 56:44
  behind the building. Jubilee's
• 56:46
  horrified as the first robot walks out, trapping
• 56:48
  her. The second one shoots and
• 56:50
  knocks out gas from her finger. From
• 56:51
  its fingertips engulfing her, the robot says that
• 56:54
  the target is apprehended. The
• 56:56
  man with glasses walks out and congratulates the robot.
• 56:59
  Jubilee looks up to the man and
• 57:00
  the robot falls into unconsciousness. So
• 57:04
  you're giving praises to the robot now? Is
• 57:07
  that a thing? Good job Sentinel. Good
• 57:10
  job. They don't feel. Okay.
• 57:17
  Back at the mansion, Zaevry pulls up an image of the
• 57:19
  Mutant Control Agency's headquarters. He
• 57:21
  explains to the entire team that the building has files
• 57:23
  on hundreds of registered mutants who were innocently
• 57:26
  duped into revealing their identity. Huh.
• 57:31
  Okay. Sounds like something's... That
• 57:34
  happened. That's the MCU. Logan
• 57:36
  sits down saying that they're going to get in
• 57:38
  and destroy them. Gambit boasts that he could get
• 57:41
  in there alone easily. However,
• 57:43
  Zaevry has stormy three others in the building.
• 57:46
  Will bring peace and more of
• 57:47
  change in his head to Gambit than asked if he
• 57:49
  will make him feel better to go in like cotton.
• 57:52
  Being Gambit to laugh. Xaver
• 57:55
  gives Cyclops overall command. Xaver
• 57:58
  ends the exit into the hall and is followed by
• 58:00
  Cyclops who stops him. Cyclops
• 58:03
  points out that they have been together a long time.
• 58:06
  He too believes in peaceful
• 58:07
  coexistence between humans and mutants, but he is
• 58:09
  worried. Xaver stops him knowing what he
• 58:12
  is about to say, but they have no choice. Xaver
• 58:15
  turns and leaves. Logan walks up and asks if the
• 58:20
  teacher's pet got cold feet. Cyclops
• 58:22
  turns his head and flashes his visor. Chewing
• 58:24
  on a toothpick Logan challenges him to a fight
• 58:27
  anytime. However, they are interrupted by
• 58:30
  Jean. Jean! You'll hear it later. She
• 58:36
  runs up saying that she went to check on Jubilee
• 58:39
  and found her missing. Logan
• 58:40
  offers to go after Cyclops stops him saying they have
• 58:43
  a job to do first. Logan turns and pulls out his
• 58:46
  claws saying he goes wherever he wants. I
• 58:50
  go wherever I want. It turns and leaves. Chauvin
• 58:52
  comes Gambit out of the way. Gambit
• 58:54
  pulls out a car and charges it by Cyclops.
• 58:56
  Logan runs up ordering to let
• 58:57
  him go. Gambit tosses a car behind him so
• 59:00
  it flows with little force. Logan
• 59:01
  is not worth it. In the night sky, a large jet
• 59:06
  flies by and lands in a small clearing in the
• 59:08
  woods. The side door opens and Rogan
• 59:11
  beats Egaset. Cyclops orders the team to sick
• 59:14
  -hoes. Rogan beats Walk -off together as
• 59:17
  the rest of the team follows. Rogue
• 59:19
  tells Bees that when she was 13 she had a boyfriend
• 59:21
  until she kissed him. She explains that the boy was
• 59:24
  in a coma for three days. That
• 59:26
  is when she realized that she touched anybody and she
• 59:29
  absorbed their strength. Oh god, I love her voice.
• 59:33
  Rogue lifts a boulder and tosses
• 59:34
  it aside. Gambit and Morf follow behind
• 59:37
  them. Rogue goes on to say that it
• 59:39
  was when the boys stopped calling. That
• 59:42
  was when the boys stopped calling. Bees
• 59:44
  laughs and tells her to be fortunate. He
• 59:46
  says he had dendruff. I'm scared to ask what that
• 59:51
  means. Morf pipes up that whenever he
• 59:53
  was in trouble he turned to the principal. He
• 59:55
  transforms into a balding man in a suit and pushes
• 59:57
  aside a tree branch. When Gambit approaches he lets
• 1:00:00
  it go by hitting him. Rogue
• 1:00:02
  continues on saying her father was very upset when
• 1:00:05
  he found out. Cyclops adds that they all had
• 1:00:08
  that problem. Trauma bonding, man. Trauma
• 1:00:12
  bonding. They're all like, yeah, this
• 1:00:16
  happened to me. They're all worried about me now.
• 1:00:23
  Look at us now. Just
• 1:00:25
  look at you all now. Trauma.
• 1:00:27
  The X -Men top of Heel and Find a Headquarters. Storm
• 1:00:30
  pulls up a knocker and tells him to stop. She
• 1:00:32
  spots a guard tower and guard gate. Rogue
• 1:00:35
  asks Bees since he is so smart. Why
• 1:00:37
  are they the way they are? Bees
• 1:00:38
  suggests that it could be because of gamma rays.
• 1:00:42
  Pollution, ozone depletion, or even
• 1:00:44
  television. Gamma rays, huh, Bees? Morf
• 1:00:48
  suggests that his progress. Suddenly
• 1:00:50
  Wolverine says that it is lousy luck. They
• 1:00:53
  look up and see him sitting in a tree.
• 1:00:55
  Wolverine claims they make a lot of
• 1:00:56
  noise. He leaves down the branch onto
• 1:00:59
  the ground near Gambit. The G -Agent asks if he's
• 1:01:01
  joining them and Wolverine says he is. He
• 1:01:03
  walks over to Storm and Cyclops. She
• 1:01:04
  asks if he found you believe he explained that
• 1:01:06
  her trail went cold outside the house. He
• 1:01:10
  also says he was bit by a dog. Anyway,
• 1:01:15
  probably that one dog that was scared of the Sentinel.
• 1:01:19
  Storm, hand -Cycle of the
• 1:01:20
  binoculars, he looks to the stand and tells Storm to
• 1:01:22
  do her sing. She raises her hand and the
• 1:01:24
  clouds begin swirling as thunder rubbles. I
• 1:01:28
  mean, now they are better at it because what's the
• 1:01:32
  forecast? But back then, hey Storm, do
• 1:01:35
  your thing. What? She rises into the air as
• 1:01:39
  clouds pass over the moon. Inside
• 1:01:41
  the compound, the guard looks up and just a booth.
• 1:01:44
  Morf will bring in Bees crawled
• 1:01:45
  her way up to the fence. Morf
• 1:01:47
  asks if Bees to lift him over the fence. Wolverine
• 1:01:50
  smiles against Bees and thumbs up. Morf
• 1:01:53
  screams as he is thrown over. Wolverine
• 1:01:56
  says he was right. The guard hears something and
• 1:01:58
  runs out. He runs up to Morf asking if
• 1:02:00
  he's alright. Morf changes the guard and says
• 1:02:02
  he is. He pulls out a gun and shoots
• 1:02:04
  the guard with knockout gas. When
• 1:02:05
  the guard passes out, he transforms back. He
• 1:02:09
  begins to drag the guard away as Bees tosses
• 1:02:11
  Wolverine who lands on his feet. Bees
• 1:02:13
  leaps over in a single bound. Cyclops
• 1:02:16
  watches through the binoculars. He
• 1:02:17
  tells Rogan Gabbard that the others are inside. At
• 1:02:20
  this three sneak around, a guard appears, ordering them
• 1:02:23
  to stop. Wolverine pulls out a claws but the
• 1:02:24
  man is shocked by Storm's lightning. Wolverine
• 1:02:28
  looks at this unconscious man and moves on. He
• 1:02:30
  approaches the door and slides it down the side.
• 1:02:32
  He opens it since the lock is
• 1:02:34
  caught off. As they walk in, Bees points
• 1:02:37
  out that they have the guard's keys. Wolverine
• 1:02:39
  jokes he'll buy them a new door. He
• 1:02:42
  suddenly stops Bees and sniffs. He
• 1:02:44
  tells them that they are electronic beings. Bees
• 1:02:46
  asks if he can detect that infrared spectrum. Wolverine
• 1:02:51
  replies that he can smell the ozone. Storm
• 1:02:54
  hovers the shows him and create a mist in the
• 1:02:56
  hallway. Bees show all across the hallway
• 1:03:00
  in front of them. Bees quotes the poem by
• 1:03:02
  preserving their past and calls it a minor poem for
• 1:03:04
  a minor problem. He leaves under the pipes
• 1:03:07
  overhead and swings his way forward. Poem
• 1:03:10
  is part of the unknown heroes at collection of
• 1:03:12
  poems by Papamore. In that poem, the faint heart
• 1:03:15
  averted many feet and many a tear in our opposed past
• 1:03:19
  to persevere. Bees quoted farewell while
• 1:03:22
  infiltrating the mutant control agency. He
• 1:03:25
  sees a security box and uses the keys to open it.
• 1:03:27
  He then comments himself if
• 1:03:28
  any of them are ever truly secure. He
• 1:03:32
  flipped off all the security beam switches and
• 1:03:34
  powers down the system. Outside
• 1:03:36
  Rogue approach Cyclops and Gambit noting that they
• 1:03:38
  look nervous. They watch the spotlight circle
• 1:03:40
  around. Cyclops just wants to know what's
• 1:03:42
  going on inside. Just in large armored vehicle
• 1:03:45
  rashes way down the road. Cyclops
• 1:03:46
  note that they have trouble. Back
• 1:03:49
  in the building, the team walks down a hall. Morph
• 1:03:52
  says it is clear sailing now. They
• 1:03:55
  approach the door waiting for them inside the door.
• 1:03:58
  Armed guards ready their guns
• 1:04:00
  towards the door. Outside the door, storm turns the
• 1:04:05
  handle and opens the door to be continued. Oh
• 1:04:12
  shit, that's what it said. To
• 1:04:13
  be continued. Trust me as a young kid watching
• 1:04:17
  that moment that upset me. Okay,
• 1:04:21
  the first season of X -Men when Aaron El Fox kid
• 1:04:23
  featured CGI character profile models during the
• 1:04:25
  end credits. Later, Aaron replaced these credits
• 1:04:29
  with those similar to season 2. When
• 1:04:30
  the fourth year episodes began, short clip from past
• 1:04:33
  episodes were filtered into the credits for the
• 1:04:35
  original Aaron. When the final year's worth of
• 1:04:37
  episodes aired, the series received slightly altered
• 1:04:40
  intro animation and music. When
• 1:04:42
  reruns of the series moved over to UPN for a short
• 1:04:44
  while, all the aired episodes, intros and credits
• 1:04:47
  were replaced with brand animation featuring cable
• 1:04:50
  among the regular X -Men. After
• 1:04:53
  Yodemore's quit voicing storm, some early episodes
• 1:04:56
  were redubbed by Allison Sealy Smith, however poorly
• 1:04:59
  and sometimes unsynchronized, most evident in Enter
• 1:05:03
  Magneto. There were often alterations and
• 1:05:06
  scenery and dialogue made to first season episodes
• 1:05:09
  after the initial airings, such as the original ending
• 1:05:12
  of Night of the Sun, part 1. The
• 1:05:14
  original ending had soldiers dressed in red and white
• 1:05:16
  armor hiding behind the door to the room the X
• 1:05:18
  -Men were about to enter, however, the airings had
• 1:05:21
  the soldiers in green military fatigues. This
• 1:05:24
  was the second attempt at a pilot for a series
• 1:05:26
  featuring the X -Men, and episode titled Pride of the
• 1:05:28
  X -Men in the first series, also simply called X -Men,
• 1:05:32
  was produced and aired in 1989 but was considered a
• 1:05:34
  failure. Marvel would eventually go back to
• 1:05:37
  its drawing board and make this series starting with
• 1:05:39
  this episode. There are many elements with this
• 1:05:42
  two -part pilot that are similar to the previous
• 1:05:44
  failed pilot. The story focuses on young girl
• 1:05:48
  Kitty Pride and Jubilee, who first developed her
• 1:05:51
  mutant powers and just meets the X -Men. Both
• 1:05:54
  girls start to pile off hating that they are
• 1:05:55
  mutants, but at the end, accept who they are.
• 1:05:58
  Jubilee's character section throughout
• 1:05:59
  the series, especially early on, is similar to Kitty,
• 1:06:01
  such as wanting to go on missions but not being
• 1:06:03
  allowed to. Kitty and Jubilee accidentally
• 1:06:06
  enter the danger room and are rescued by the team,
• 1:06:09
  while Breen is at first annoyed by the new girl.
• 1:06:12
  Mutant registration first appeared
• 1:06:14
  in the hall, issued Young Kitty X -Men number 141,
• 1:06:17
  which inspired the episode of Days of Future Past
• 1:06:19
  Part 1, Days of Future Past Part 2. The
• 1:06:23
  first shot of Saber II attacking the police
• 1:06:24
  officers were chosen for several reasons. The
• 1:06:27
  first was to establish how scary mutants appeared in
• 1:06:29
  the rest of the humanity, establishing a challenge
• 1:06:31
  that good mutants like the X -Men would spend the
• 1:06:33
  series trying to overcome. Second
• 1:06:35
  was set up to mindset that Jubilee's foster parents
• 1:06:38
  would have upon learning that their daughter is a
• 1:06:40
  mutant, very much just like him. Third,
• 1:06:44
  to give a reason that the Y's had never been created
• 1:06:46
  and since the police were so infectious. Lastly,
• 1:06:49
  they were able to very quickly establish the safety
• 1:06:51
  of the two for appearances later on. The
• 1:06:53
  titles most likely inspired by the classic movie Night
• 1:06:56
  of the Living Dead, coincidentally or not, to
• 1:06:58
  the sequel Dawn of the Dead was set in the small.
• 1:07:00
  Spider -Man would have similarly
• 1:07:02
  named pilot with Night of the Lizard. The
• 1:07:05
  show was originally going to premiere over the Labor
• 1:07:07
  Day weekend of September 9th, 1992. However,
• 1:07:09
  due to production delays, it would soon be pushed to
• 1:07:12
  the end of October. This episode originally aired as
• 1:07:15
  a sneak preview, even though it wasn't ready for
• 1:07:17
  broadcast. The episode had hundreds of
• 1:07:19
  retakes, scenes where incorrectly animated shots
• 1:07:22
  are simply fixed. Shadows were missing, characters
• 1:07:25
  missing from view screens. Magneto
• 1:07:27
  with shirtless and Jubilee's powers looked like tadpoles.
• 1:07:32
  ACOM refused to do all the
• 1:07:34
  retakes, so for the interest of time, it was
• 1:07:37
  aired as is. This led animation insider to
• 1:07:40
  joke that ACOM's motto should be ACOM, quality is
• 1:07:43
  our only compromise. The second episode was similarly
• 1:07:45
  bad with 50 scenes missing. Fox
• 1:07:48
  was upset at the situation, pulled the series from the
• 1:07:51
  air for the time being and threatened ACOM. The
• 1:07:53
  errors were later corrected with the animators working
• 1:07:56
  overtime, and Fox re -aired both parts of the pilot in
• 1:07:59
  January 1993. Stu of Marvel Animation Age
• 1:08:04
  noted that the series is regarded as one of Marvel's
• 1:08:07
  best animated efforts, and this episode was one of
• 1:08:10
  the best series best. He did feel that not much
• 1:08:12
  happened in the first part, and it was best to watch
• 1:08:15
  both parts together. He claimed that using the
• 1:08:17
  Sentinels right away was a risk, since they are great
• 1:08:19
  danger, given that they are opposite of everything that
• 1:08:21
  X -Men fight for. He also noted that X -Men
• 1:08:24
  Evolution used Sentinels later after developing the
• 1:08:26
  world. However, he said they worked
• 1:08:29
  perfectly in this episode. He
• 1:08:31
  enjoyed how their first mission was not completely
• 1:08:34
  successful and so much went wrong. He
• 1:08:37
  did feel Jubilee was a brat constantly discussing
• 1:08:39
  her problems, though it served as a great build -up
• 1:08:41
  to his sentinel appearance. He
• 1:08:43
  felt it was strange that the Maul battle saved the
• 1:08:45
  most popular character, Cyclops, until the end. He
• 1:08:49
  noted how it was unusual for a cartoonist's time to
• 1:08:51
  only feature on battle. However,
• 1:08:53
  he claimed his mate had stand out at the time and
• 1:08:55
  has not happened much since. He
• 1:08:58
  liked the idea of attacking the meeting control energy
• 1:08:59
  for the first episode, showing that while the team
• 1:09:01
  fights for Mutant Rights, they are forced to break
• 1:09:03
  the law to do it. Overall, the episode served as a
• 1:09:06
  solid introduction and featured a pretty good
• 1:09:08
  cliffhanger. Not a lot happened with so
• 1:09:10
  many characters to introduce and tell their story of
• 1:09:12
  why they did what they did. It
• 1:09:14
  is forgivable. It is introduced the incredibly
• 1:09:16
  annoying Jubilee, sure, but you can't win them all.
• 1:09:19
  Part 2 however completely
• 1:09:20
  surpassed the quality of this episode. Common
• 1:09:23
  Book Resources ranked this and its follow -up as
• 1:09:26
  number 2 of their top 15 episodes of the series.
• 1:09:29
  They noted that the first
• 1:09:30
  episode of the series, as Greatest Trump was
• 1:09:32
  introducing the world to the eyes of Jubilee, that
• 1:09:35
  established a tone of the series to come, they felt
• 1:09:37
  it did a great job introducing how terrifying
• 1:09:39
  this world could be. They lacked how to capture the
• 1:09:42
  gravity and terror of something that was lethal
• 1:09:44
  and unstoppable while exploring the themes of
• 1:09:46
  racism and fear of the other. They
• 1:09:49
  enjoyed that they captured the spirit of the comics
• 1:09:51
  for a Saturday morning cartoon show without making
• 1:09:53
  it too childish. Oh yeah, that line about
• 1:09:56
  playing solo, huh? Yeah, not making it too childish.
• 1:10:02
  Yeah, thanks for that. Children
• 1:10:04
  of watching the show and listening to Gambit. Oh,
• 1:10:11
  I always play solo. Really buddy? Common
• 1:10:18
  Book Resources ranked this as its follow -up as the
• 1:10:20
  third top tier jerking episode of the series. Oh
• 1:10:24
  god, the next episode. The 1992 series premiere had an
• 1:10:27
  immense impact in both story and controversy. The
• 1:10:29
  9th Sentinel style of the series would be exploring
• 1:10:32
  bright heroics laced in dark storylines, fear -fastic
• 1:10:36
  humans demand action against mutants. This
• 1:10:39
  leads to the Mutant Control Agency to require mutants
• 1:10:41
  to register with them. Jubilee,
• 1:10:43
  a firework -powered mutant, is targeted for
• 1:10:45
  apprehension. The X -Men would protect her
• 1:10:47
  while but realize that threat is much worse. The
• 1:10:49
  X -Men raid the Mutant Control Agency and destroy
• 1:10:51
  the files on mutants. The episode has a 7 .6 on the
• 1:10:55
  internet movie database. IMDb.
