Transcript
- 0:05Be it as all right and go one two, one, two, three
- 0:48four. I volunteer, I volunteer a volunteers tribute to introduce this amazing,
- 0:57beautiful, stunning person that is currently sitting in his desk about five miles away
- 1:03from me. Hi, what the fuck are you? I mean, there's
- 1:07probably less than five miles. It's probably more like two or three is what
- 1:12is distance, but relatively relativity? Fair? Fair? Hi? Did you
- 1:19even introduce yourself? Oh? They know who I am? If they made
- 1:23it this far, they know. Wow. Wow, you just expect them
- 1:29to know who you are? Hi, I'm wait, did we use aliensis
- 1:34for this? No? We use our names. Oh. Hi, I'm
- 1:38Devin, who can't seem to remember anything because it's been a long, long
- 1:46long time. Um, Hi, how are you? H's what's popping?
- 1:53Was up? Guys? I was kidding. I know many of you probably
- 1:56can't remember my name. Hell, I probably don't even know anyway. My
- 2:00name is I'm Jacob and welcome to another another beautiful session of the book Watchers
- 2:07Dunta done, new and improved, new and improved, still under the same
- 2:15name, but now this is today. You are joining us for our very
- 2:21first episode of our new format. So while we are still going to be
- 2:28reviewing books that have movie adaptations, from this episode forward, we're going to
- 2:36also be including other forms of literature, literature and other types of media.
- 2:44So today this episode is going to be on the comic series about a certain
- 2:54group of mutant superheroes. That's right, we are doing Marvel's House of X
- 3:02slash Powers of X. YEA is yeah, yeah, I think I might.
- 3:09I think I might have done the House of X Power of X on
- 3:15TI of the God as far as lore goes, but on this one we're
- 3:20gonna go more in depth with it than I did on there. Those are
- 3:24in a short time where I was covering Marvel as a mythology because it is
- 3:30same with DC. But nonetheless, we're gonna be talking about House of X,
- 3:35Power of X or Power of ten as I am told it's called.
- 3:39But power of X makes more sense because it's House of X. Why do
- 3:44that and call it power of ten? That's weird, but it's that's why
- 3:51I keep hearing. I was listening to other like podcasts on on YouTube videos
- 3:55and stuff, and people were calling it, oh, apparently it's called power
- 3:59of ten, and I'm like, I guess the Power of VAX sounds better.
- 4:03I mean to me, sure, I mean sure. The the X
- 4:09is the Roman numeral for the number ten or ten. Yeah, but this
- 4:14is there. They're they're only I'll just admit, this is their only weak
- 4:17link. But their wink, their weak link is we're dealing with the fucking
- 4:23X men. Yeah. Yeah, mutants under led by the infamous Charles Xavier,
- 4:31the world's most powerful psychic. Anyway, anyway, continue, m I
- 4:36have I have twice where its for Xavier. Um So, a little background
- 4:44of House Evax Power of X. Uh So again this podcast, we're going
- 4:48to be doing more. We're gonna be also including graphic novels and stuff that's
- 4:53not connected to movies and blah blah blah. And this is the first go
- 4:57at it so House of X Power of VAX back ground now. This series
- 5:01is twelve issues long, six yeah, six issues each. It ran from
- 5:10July twenty nineteen to October twenty nineteen. Is the original run of House Effects
- 5:17Power X. It was written by the wonderful, the fabulous, the amazing
- 5:24Jonathan Hickman, who is also known at Marvel for doing his Fantastic four run
- 5:30The Avengers the New Avengers, and of course probably one of my favorite storylines
- 5:35and the first storyline I jumped into comics and Secret Wars back from twenty fifteen.
- 5:44Yeah, I was Secret Wars, so he was in charge of that.
- 5:47As far as the artists for this story, Jovin Hickman is not the
- 5:53artist, even though he does. He's also a combook artist, but he's
- 5:58just the writer and the per in charge of majority of the X Men tiles
- 6:01for a while. He's currently not. He currently left the X Men franchise
- 6:09at Marvel, but he basically was setting it up and got a crew of
- 6:12writers and artists and stuff to basically play out the vision he had, so
- 6:17he left it in good hands. Nonetheless, at some point we might get
- 6:20into Dawnavax, rainov X, all that fun stuff, but that's for a
- 6:26much later lair point because your boys got to catch up on more on X
- 6:30Men. Because there's a fucking lot Yeah, there's a lot um there.
- 6:36You can purchase the full volumes of these on either Amazon or you know,
- 6:43do what old people do and go to a bookstore. Yeah, and which
- 6:46I do have most most of the current ones that I released I have digitally.
- 6:51I just need to go in and ring a mom. So, but
- 6:55this is the series that starts at all the whole Rain of X, X
- 7:00of Swords. No sorry, it's um Dawn of X, X of Swords,
- 7:06and then that goes into Rain of X and then I think they're currently
- 7:10in Destiny of X. Yes, so right now, oh shit, have
- 7:15it? Has the next volume come out? Because okay, so I'm subscribed
- 7:19to the series, to the show, to this book series on Amazon.
- 7:24Though I realized now I should probably just go ahead and get Kindle Unlimited so
- 7:28that way for free. I'm gonna I'm actually gonna do it because I'm planning
- 7:32on canceling one of my subscriptions and I'll just switch over to Kindle to Kindle
- 7:36so I can save money. But but yeah, so yeah, it's DAWNAVAX.
- 7:45Then it goes then and that ends the X of Swords event, and
- 7:47then that goes into Rain of X and Rain of X just finished. They're
- 7:56um sorry. Rain of X is still releasing the collective volumes. The last
- 8:01Rain of X was Rain of X y and fourteen that was released in September,
- 8:05but they've also released Trials of X volume one through twelve and then right
- 8:11now, they've only released the first three volumes of Trials of X. Trials,
- 8:18Yeah, still part I think it looks like it's still part of the
- 8:22Rain of X, but it's called Trials of X, and it is that
- 8:26the Trials of Magneto. I think the Trials of by Nieto are let me
- 8:33see, Yeah, they're included in it. Yes, okay, because like
- 8:37I've been trying to like get all of the issues together for the whole like
- 8:45yeah, for the Trials and Magnetos, the death, the Trials and Magneto,
- 8:48the death of Scarlet Witch and uh what was that called again, because
- 8:54like I want to tale Magneto was the dealt with the Scarlet Witch because the
- 9:01Scarlet Witch spoilers are going to be ahead. Scarlet Witch dies in hell Fire
- 9:07and I think the hell Fire Club or one that was companying event, and
- 9:11that event was in the hell Fire Della. It was that hell Fire Gala.
- 9:15She died, she was murdered during the hell Fire Gala, and Magneto
- 9:18was the was the primary suspect. Yes, spoiler alert, Um, yeah,
- 9:26it's this whole shebang and it ends with Scarlet Witch creating an afterlife for
- 9:33mutant kind Wow. Yes I did say spoiler alert. Wow. I wasn't
- 9:41even that far there yet. Wow. Why just spoiled it for you?
- 9:46Oh? Oh wow? I'm so sorry. I didn't care that I didn't.
- 9:52I seriously didn't care that I was going to spoil it for our listeners,
- 9:56but for you. Oh, I'm sorry. Honestly I was want to
- 10:01get that anyway, because I got Scarlett Whig Volume one, and I'm sure
- 10:03I was going to explain that in there anyway. But wow. So that's
- 10:11so, that's that that that that makes sense, that checks out, and
- 10:16she comes I know, she comes back to being a mutant and all that
- 10:18ship too and all that fun shit. But yeah, anyway, so back
- 10:24to the House of X and Powers of X. Let's go ahead and dive
- 10:26in a little bit about what this sitting, this deerie sets up for the
- 10:31for the Mutant continuum, so to get before we finished, before we jump
- 10:37into that, the artists, I still I saw that some on the background
- 10:39to go through. So we have uh, Pepe, I'm I'm I'm wanna,
- 10:48I'm wanna like butcher these dames, I am so sorry, it's it's
- 10:52pepe pepe m h and last name is uh Larza, Laura's Laura's Laura's.
- 11:03Oh my god, I'm terrible with names, and it's sad because this is
- 11:11one of my favorite artists and that does Marvel Comics. Yes, Pepo Laraz
- 11:16and he's the artist an inker of House of X. Do you have RB
- 11:20Silva, Yeah, Silva, And he's the artist an inker for Power of
- 11:26X with somebody else that helps him with the inking. And then you got
- 11:31Clayton uh Cowels for the lettering, Um, Martin Garcia for the colorist and
- 11:39the course, Jordan D. White and Anna Lisa Biza. Again if from
- 11:46mass pronouncing names, I'm so sorry. And they're the editors of this event.
- 11:50Helps the writers, Um yeah, this crew people are the ones who
- 12:01wrote Drew. They're all behind the event, with Java Hickman as the main
- 12:09writer in leading this event because after his runs with the Fantastic Four X not
- 12:15the X Men, Avengers, the Avengers, Secret Wars, Mark, he
- 12:18left to do more indie stuff and then Marvel got him back and they gave
- 12:22him the X Men and he's like, bet, So that's what this is.
- 12:26The series that starts with that background is now concluded, all right,
- 12:31So before we get into like the full details of the actual story. So
- 12:35we're gonna just I just want to like just talk, like just give you
- 12:39guys a little bit of subtext, a little bit of just contexts about the
- 12:43story of House of X, Power of X and what it leads up into.
- 12:46So House of X, Power of X and the following sequel series like
- 12:54donov X, Rain of X, X of Sword Events and so on.
- 13:00This this series was meant to bridge all of the basically all of the retcons,
- 13:07all of the stories that have happened with the X Men so far,
- 13:11and the way they do it. They do it so it's just so naturally
- 13:15that I love it. It's it's kind of like they could you know,
- 13:20when you first look at it, you're like, eh, well kind of
- 13:24it makes sense, but I like it. So think of every event that's
- 13:31been a ret con, so like there was there was a time when,
- 13:35like you have the Days of Futures Past event, you have the House of
- 13:39M event, you have the let's see what other events were there that were
- 13:46bridged together by the storyline. Oh god, Um, wasn't there one where
- 13:54like, yeah, there was one where of course there was a storyline where
- 13:58Apocalypse would avengetly over like Apocalypse, Yeah, the Age of Apocalypse you had
- 14:05them like how yeah, of course House of m And then there was a
- 14:11one where Magneto confronts like the where Magneto takes on the Avengers. I mean,
- 14:16are you talking about the Avengers versus the x Men? Yeah, so
- 14:20the Avengers us the x Men storyline, and then they all venture and then
- 14:22of course this takes place right after the UM I think not right after,
- 14:28but sometime after the Inhumans versus the x Men and the death of Cyclops and
- 14:35all that fun ship. Yeah. So basically all these stories that had their
- 14:39run, even that one where that one storyline where Scott took on the Phoenix
- 14:46Force for a bit and so on, all these storylines get bridged together by
- 14:54one mutant and her name is Moira mc taggart. Which will get to her,
- 15:01we will, which her backstory is um included in the volumes and one
- 15:07of the issues an issue three. But yeah, so we don't want to
- 15:16get too much into her because that the story doesn't does it for us?
- 15:20So either way, mutant kind all across the world decides to come together and
- 15:26just like what they what they did with Genosa, which is also canon.
- 15:31The Jenosa event did happen. Yeah, but the massacre mutants due to Cassandra
- 15:37Nova because fuck uk and Musnova, the YEP and the House of m where
- 15:43Scarlet Witch Newts all the all the all the mutants. Yeah, no more
- 15:50mutants. M it's all still cannon. That's all still part of the storyline.
- 15:54But now mutant kind has come together and created a new nation, a
- 16:00new nation, this time on the living island of Krakoa. And it's here,
- 16:06it's here where millions of mutants are currently flocking even to this very day.
- 16:11You know, if you're all, if you're all caught up with this
- 16:14with the subsequent subsequent volumes of the uh New Rain of X storyline, then
- 16:22you then you know this. They're still there are still mutants coming around trying
- 16:26to reach Krokoa. Uh so now Krokoa. Oh yeah, Mars too.
- 16:34Spoiler alert. They colonize Mars. They do because Krokoa doesn't work. Krokoa
- 16:41has issues and are like, you know what, fuck y'all hose we're leaving
- 16:45the planet. Uh huh, Mars is hours now, bitches. Yeah,
- 16:49I forget they called Mars. But that's that's that's after obviously I think it's
- 16:55I think it's now going to be called like New Rocco or something. Oh
- 16:59yeah, yes, yes, So there's um yeah, there's another there's there's
- 17:04a lot of shit that hap that goes down. We're not going to spoil
- 17:07it all for you, but but eventually I do plan on one into covering
- 17:15all of donov X, Rain of x X, of Swords, all that
- 17:18fun shit. So we're just gonna do it all that one for guns spread
- 17:22out throughout this podcast, because we're also gonna be covering like Stephen King and
- 17:30and um, oh god, what's his name? We're gonna be doing our
- 17:34Salvator's uh DND works, the Legend of Driss, Yes, Legend of Driss,
- 17:40Drassic Park, and I just finished The Lost World, so I'm so
- 17:45ready. That was Clive Barker, Clid Barker, Clive Barker. We're gonna
- 17:56be covering works from him, the guy who wrote The Hell Bowed Heart.
- 18:00Oh and I did pick up a copy of that. Oh yeah. And
- 18:03then of course we're gonna be covering later on the story of the Ring by
- 18:11god what was his name? Hold up by Cogi Suzuki. So that's gonna
- 18:19be another stage we're gonna tackle in the future as well for this year.
- 18:23So fun stuff, lots of lots of fun stuff. But I thought we'd
- 18:27start off this new run with a run of the podcast with House X so
- 18:37Volume hows of X Volume one, let's begin, So how's the X howse
- 18:45of X volume Issue one starts off with a very wonderful quote that I love
- 18:52said by Charles aka Professor Xavier. Professor X. The quote is humans of
- 18:59planet Earth. While you slept, the world changed. And then from there
- 19:04he shows the very first scene from the comic, but from the comic.
- 19:08First scene shows a weird alien like forest with these pods or eggs to have
- 19:15these people inside of them, and then you still find out that it's obviously
- 19:19the X Men or um Cyclops is obviously one of them due to the red
- 19:25lasers coming out of his eyes. And you see Professor X standing over these
- 19:30newly hatched um x men jing gray Cyclops C and he's wearing an all black
- 19:37suit and he's wearing an X helmet that is giving the Maker. Now,
- 19:47if y'all don't know who the Maker is, the Maker is the ultimate universe
- 19:51is read Richards who became a supervillain, his helmets giving the Maker. But
- 19:56it's basically savre bro in his helmet, a portable cerebro. Basically it's kind
- 20:03of yeah, it basically cerebro and a helmet and he just wears the helmet
- 20:07all the time. Now that's like it's like a Saxierce thing. And Xavier's
- 20:12no longer wheelchair. No, he's walking, which honestly I'm not upset about.
- 20:19Now he's giving, m he's serving, but the whole and he says
- 20:25the line to me, my x Men is giving a Renaissance painting where he's
- 20:30kind of standing over them as they're looking at me. His hands are raised
- 20:33out, So it's giving like Ranaissance painting, like God, like God raising
- 20:37up his humans. That it's giving, that it's giving, kind of Biblical
- 20:42references like it's giving. Probably that's what the vibe I get off of it,
- 20:48M because Xavier kind of to me it kind of looks like, uh,
- 20:53yeah, like the whole um, what's that gut? What's the fucking
- 20:56artwork called for? God's reaching his hand to man. Yeah, it's the
- 21:02sixteen the painting by Michelangelo. Yes, it's kind of giving that energy.
- 21:07Yeah, not exactly like that, but it's giving the energy. So that's
- 21:12the first season. Then we jump to a time lapse over of the course
- 21:17of like five months. You got five months ago on the island of Cocoa.
- 21:22Then we jumped to four months and we went in Westchester, three months
- 21:26on the blue area of the Moon. If you don't know what the blue
- 21:30area of the moon is, don't worry about it. It's only mentioned this
- 21:33one time. You're fine, you want to know where it is, just
- 21:36look go outside, look up in the moon, and there you go.
- 21:37You'll see that's the blue Don't listen to the blue area moon has has it
- 21:42has a significance, but illegal search. I'll fix that. That's the only
- 21:45times I mentioned in this series. Then you jumped to two months on Mars,
- 21:51one month in the Savage Lands, three weeks in DC, two weeks
- 21:55in Jue Jerusalem, and it basically shows all these different mutants planting the these
- 22:00weird looking plants in the ground at these locations in those in that time frame.
- 22:06And then we jump back to Jerusalem, Jerusalem and present day and basically
- 22:11you see a building that they planted I think it was Nightcrawler planted it in
- 22:17Jerusalem, but the building is engulfed in like this plant jungle like habitat.
- 22:22Habitat forms from it, and then we see a bunch of these world ambassadors
- 22:30from different parts of the world Germany, China, United States and Thing.
- 22:36There's a few other countries there, but they all meet up at this habitat
- 22:42in Jerusalem and they're introduced or they and they are they meet up with Esme
- 22:49and Sophie Cuckoos, which they are for context purposes, they are part of
- 22:56the Stepparate Cuckoos and the Separate Cuckoos are a project from the Weapon Plus project.
- 23:02Same project did that made Deadpool and Wolverine in Captain America. If y'all
- 23:10didn't know Weapon X Wolverine, Weapon one was Captain America, which was originally
- 23:15made to be to exterminate the muntains. That's a hole in the thing.
- 23:19But Separate Cuckoo's was one of the Project Pluses and they were and they are
- 23:25technically clones of Emma Frost and there's like five of them. Yeah, there's
- 23:30five of them, and they basically act as a hive mind with one another.
- 23:37Yep. They I guess that was like one of the unintended side effects
- 23:42was that when they created five clones of Emma Frost, they didn't realize that
- 23:47these clones would be able to like form a telepathic the hive mind. So
- 23:51that way now they're emotionally and mentally connected to each other. And while on
- 23:57their own, you could consider their telepathy alpha class, which is a pretty
- 24:02pretty decent it's very powerful, but when they're psyche combines together, they're telepathy
- 24:08rivals that of like the real Emma Frost and even the likes of Jean Gray
- 24:14and Professor Xavier. Yeah, they're pretty powerful when you come when they are
- 24:18brought all together, they go by the other names outside the Stefforate Cuckoos.
- 24:22They're also named the five and one or four and one, referencing the whole
- 24:26hive mind that they have with each other. So there's this So you see
- 24:30two of the three Sefforate Cuckoos, Esmay and Sophie, which I think it's
- 24:36I think both these characters have a much bigger role later on because you kind
- 24:40of get a in the later stories, you get more of a vibe about
- 24:44that the Sefforate Cuckoos are more than just a hive mind, do you kind
- 24:47of learn at least with Sophie and Esmay, you learn about more about them
- 24:51individually from the rest of their little group. But nonetheless, that's for a
- 24:56a's a layer in the story. But you meet Sophie and Esmay Cuckoo,
- 25:02which honestly, Staffords a better last name than cuckoo. But you know that's
- 25:06I didn't create them. I just would give him the Stafford last name,
- 25:08said Cuckoop. That's just me. And from there the usher the ambassadors into
- 25:14the Kirkohan habitat and they explain all of this, Oh, this is the
- 25:18habitat for Kirkoa in Jerusalem, blah blah blah, and all these ambassadors are
- 25:23here because of Um. They were here to meet up with the Xavier.
- 25:30Well that's what they wanted anyway, was it meet with the Xavier? Because
- 25:33the Xavier basically contacted the world as a whole via their minds, said,
- 25:38oh, humans, while you slept, the world changed. That's where that
- 25:42quote came from. And Um Xavier gave the world an option. Hey,
- 25:48if you acknowledge Kirkoa as as a sovereign nation for mutants, you acknowledge us
- 25:56as a sovereign nation, we will give you these drugs. And the bastards
- 26:00are here to meet up with the Xavier, or so they believe. Uh.
- 26:06Instead of Xavier, though, they're expecting Charles, but in place of
- 26:08Charles is Magneto, and everyone's kind of shook. They're like, oh fuck,
- 26:14because they weren't expecting Magneto. They're expecting Charles. The Magneto pops and
- 26:18he's like, oh, I know, I'm a poor replacement for Charles,
- 26:22but he's busy, so I'm here in his place. So so oh super
- 26:27quick for you go any further, just to give you a little give you
- 26:30guys a little bit of a little concept behind the drugs, because it's not
- 26:34about to get to that. Oh okay, good, Yeah, So the
- 26:37drugs in question because after the whole Magneto makes his appearance and his new silver
- 26:47is a silver or white. It's giving silver, but it could be all
- 26:51white. U's probably white. It's it's probably white. But they're there and
- 26:57everyone's like Magneto because Manto, as y'all know, if y'all know anything about
- 27:02the extent, he's leader of the Brotherhood Evil or was the leader of the
- 27:04Brotherhood of evil and he's a very very powerful and very feared mutant. Anyways,
- 27:10the flowers that make the drugs, So the three drugs that the bastards
- 27:15are here for if they acknowledge Rocoa as a sovereign nation, Xavier will give
- 27:19them these drugs. You have the human drug L, which extends human life
- 27:27things like what five plus years something like that. Then you got drug I
- 27:34human drug I, which is a antibiotic super drug. It basically cures all
- 27:41diseases, yes, And then you got human drug M, which cures diseases
- 27:47of the mind in humans. Basically, if these three drugs get out into
- 27:52the world, the pharmaceutical companies are done. They're they're gone, bye bye,
- 27:57the medicine industry deceased. And everyone's kind of low key kind of freaking
- 28:03out about that too. As they as the ambassadors are chatting amongst themselves before
- 28:06the cockoos came up, they're kind of talking about that and how it just
- 28:10how these three drugs would ruin the pharmaceutical um world, who would just ruin
- 28:15him as far as like making money and ship which honestly, the mutants are
- 28:18kind of just like, hey, we will give you these things to extend
- 28:22your life and shit if you just acknowledge us for free no charge. Uh
- 28:27huh, I mean of course plus ship being handling. But well you know
- 28:32that's the fine pran So outside of these flowers that are drugs, that are
- 28:38drugs that will help humanity. Um. The three flowers are also used for
- 28:44other purposes from mutants. So the three flowers also can do these things.
- 28:51So we can also um create gateways. So for example, all the flowers
- 28:56that were planted a couple minutes ago that talked about how they're planning a different
- 29:03parts of the world and elsewhere, they would create gateways too. When a
- 29:08mutant walks through them, it takes them straight to CUCOA, So it's an
- 29:14open gateway. Now, the gateways can only be accessed by mutants. Human
- 29:18anyone that's just a human or human mutate or whatever it's non mutant cannot enter
- 29:25said gateway unless they're escorted by a mutant. And even then there's there's a
- 29:32whole there's a whole thing with that too. But yes, if for CooA
- 29:36lets you in, it lets you in. Otherwise, unless you're a mutant,
- 29:40you're not getting in. And when you get into it I'm kind of
- 29:42getting a hit myself now. But when you also get into it, the
- 29:45language of the Crocoan language, it's also downloaded into your brain had its own
- 29:52language as well. To all mutants speak on said island nation any hoosies.
- 29:59So so the first one that can make gateways, the second one makes habitats,
- 30:03and the third one produces a habitat that exists outside of the consciousness of
- 30:08Kirkoa and it doesn't know it exists. It's also it's also known as a
- 30:15Kirkoan tumor. Yeah, I was just about to say that. Yeah,
- 30:21that one's a rather interesting one. But that's I actually don't know how that
- 30:26comes. I'm assuming that comes into play later on, but not in House
- 30:29of Backs power Vas anyway, they I don't think so, not that ver.
- 30:33I think like it does like towards the kind of yeah, kind of
- 30:37new yeah. Um. So then from there we jump to Jean Gray Marvel
- 30:42Girl as her old classic name is. She is leading a group of young
- 30:47mutants mutants to a gateway which is I think located in Westchester, and she
- 30:52is explaining bungees' mutants are like one of these mutants, the young girl,
- 30:56a young girl is asking m Jean Gray so talking about Kirkoha and how this
- 31:02is home your family, hey blah blah blah, and they all walk through
- 31:06the gate, and then we jumped to Cipher and Sage, which is two
- 31:11other mutants. Cipher is a mutant that um, I mean, he's a
- 31:18walking, living Cipher. He's the only mutant that can create that can communicate
- 31:22with KURKOA or her COHA communicates with him. And of course he was also
- 31:26with Sage, another mutor. Yes, you cut out there for like five
- 31:32seconds, okay, Um, Sage and Cipher, Cipher's one. Cypher's like
- 31:45the only mutant that can talk with KRKOA. Her CoA talks to him.
- 31:49Okay. Was that good? Yeah? That was good okay. And of
- 31:56course Stage is there, which is another mutant. Long backstory with her.
- 32:00That's that's far if you want to go looking into more of her backstory.
- 32:05That's not Jathan Hickman, Chris Claremont all of that fun Ship way back when
- 32:09I think it was Chris Claremont all that fun Ship nineties, early two thousands,
- 32:15eighties. Great. So her mutation is computational mind like her. She
- 32:21thinks like a computer. So yes, so of course her and Cipher would
- 32:24be working. We would be working in them, working directly with Krocoa,
- 32:30the Living Island itself, and doing all sorts of stuff. Now, Cipher
- 32:36is also part of the reason why Kcoa is doing what it's doing, because
- 32:39Krokoa and Cipher like bfs for life. A good Cipher can understand krokoa fun
- 32:46ship. That's where the whole language comes in and how it's all downloading the
- 32:51game into their interi mutants brains from the enter in the gateway partially due to
- 32:54Cipher and all that fun stuff combined with other mutants abilities, all that fun
- 33:00shit. You just see those two great from there, we jumped to the
- 33:07sun. Now the other son, there's a There is a spacecraft known as
- 33:14the Forge, the hold of device known as the Mother Mold. Now you
- 33:21may be asking, oh my god, ten who created this Forge and mother
- 33:25mold for Sitnels, the Sitnel, forger whatever. There's a group called Orcus
- 33:34and they are known as a self proclaimed last hope for humanity made up from
- 33:39groups made up of members from groups known that are aim Shield, Hydra,
- 33:45Alva Flight, and many other groups. These are all like random like people
- 33:50pulled from these different groups to join the collective of Orcus to basically watch over
- 33:55humanity and kind of um try basically to keep humanity alive and prevent the extension
- 34:05of humans to mutants. And from there we meet a character known as oh
- 34:13gosh, what was her name Omega Sittnel or karmea carimea carmea ship bender get
- 34:28in terrible name. She's not as the Omega Sitnel h her name in the
- 34:31chat let me see it, Well, that's her actual name, but her
- 34:35hero name is og yes and yes, she used to be an Indian National
- 34:45Police officer who is who has been infected with the Omega Sitnel technology and has
- 34:52become machine equipped with the state of the art technology aimed to exterminating mutants.
- 34:57But of course, due to the efforts oppressor David Magneto, she overcame her
- 35:00lethal programming and was able to put to use put to use of her Sittinel
- 35:06devices to help mutant kind. But of course she is not now part of
- 35:12orcas who is out to exterminate mutant kind of keep humanity alive, So of
- 35:20course that's no surprise. Omega Sentinel is now working with the enemy. They
- 35:23she saw it coming, honestly, but whatever, you know, I'm not
- 35:29surprised. She has a long storyline as well with being part mutants and being
- 35:34like friends, and she was on an X Men group led by Rogue back
- 35:37in the early two thousands, I think. But nonetheless, no one should
- 35:44be surprised as she flip sides and like due to either being programmed to do
- 35:50so or whatnot. But she's working with the enemy, get no one's surprised.
- 35:59From there, basically learn about Orchists and how their goals to try to
- 36:04keep Amanity alive. You mean the head scientists who's in charge as well as
- 36:08they're making a mother mold to create sitnels. Now, sentinels are these robots
- 36:14that if you watch the nineties cartoon you saw them everywhere. An Omega sentinel
- 36:19is created from this thing as well, well, not this mother mold particularly,
- 36:22but the omegas. But the sentinels goal is to be perfect had the
- 36:27perfection perfect sentinel, and they're hoping to do this with the mother mold to
- 36:31create sentinels to prevent humanities extinction via mutant kind, because again, as every
- 36:39other story with mutant kind, the human there's certain groups of humans that fear
- 36:45that mutants are evil, and they're because they're different. That's a whole plot
- 36:51of the mutant story. Yeah, it's it's the classic story of just fear,
- 36:57you know, fear of the unknown. It's just they fear that,
- 37:01oh, when humanity is going to go to extinct. They think people are
- 37:05going to die violent, bloody deaths. But what they don't realize is that,
- 37:08well, when humanity as it is now first appeared, there were other
- 37:15there were other creatures out there just like them. Yeah, the Neanderthals,
- 37:22the Denisovians, the fucking Hobbits, even they were all part They were all
- 37:28part of the same same species. They were just different genuses. But when
- 37:32Homo sapiens appeared, well, we were smarter, better, and you know,
- 37:38the others they couldn't compete. So what happened They started dying out because
- 37:43they couldn't survive in this new world. So, but there is a butt
- 37:47I just want to point this out. Many of them did innerbreed with Homo
- 37:53sapiens. So, so don't be surprised if you do like some sort of
- 37:58ancestry dot com and find out you have like you're like one million Neanderthal,
- 38:05Yeah, because I mean they intermingled. Yeah, they intermingled, So technically
- 38:09Neanderthals did survive. They just changed and became a part of the new new
- 38:15sperit race. Okay, that sounded really weirdy well, superior species, but
- 38:21um, Homo sapiens and then of course when mutants came about, they're the
- 38:24next line of evolution known as Homo superior M. And of course humanity Homo
- 38:32sapiens are fearful that Homo superior is going to take them out. So they
- 38:38give you more of an idea about Orcus. So Orcus is the orcas is
- 38:47makeup. So here's are all the different groups and the percentages that they hold
- 38:51in the company or how many members are part of the company. So the
- 38:55largest group of people from a particular group as part of Orcus is AIM and
- 39:00they're thirty one percent of this group. Then we got Shield, which is
- 39:05twenty four percent, and I'm like, how dare you Shield? How dare
- 39:09you? Uh? You got Strike which is sixteen percent, Sword which is
- 39:14eight percent, alpha flight which is seven and I'm like, alpha flight,
- 39:19babes um, Miss Captain Marvel, isn't that your group aren't these your people.
- 39:25Hello. Um, of course I'm behind on that storyline too, so
- 39:30I I know Captain Marvel works with Alpha Flight. But anyway, then you
- 39:37got five percent which is hammer, five percent which is armor, and then
- 39:40four percent is hydra y'all, nasties are working with hydra U. That's choice,
- 39:47fucking Nazis. That's a fucking choice. But you know whatever, And
- 39:53then that's the basic of the makeup of the what what people came from where?
- 40:00And then we jump over to Mystique, Sabretooth and Toad. Now Sabretooth,
- 40:08Toad, and Mystique are on a mission to steal info at this facility.
- 40:14And as they're dealing with as Toad is trying and take this takes that
- 40:17information, Sabretooth is murdering people because that's what Sabretooth does. Now, if
- 40:24this what Sabretooth then the nineties, it'd be more of a blood bath because
- 40:29Sabretooth in the nineties didn't give two ships. So I mean that Sabretooth isn't
- 40:35as violent as the one in the nineties was. That's look into that Sabretooth
- 40:39is kind of a fucking savage. He's fucking is a Monster is back then,
- 40:46so they get the information and they're trying to make a bee line bee
- 40:50line the fuck out of there, and when they escape the building, they
- 40:53are intercepted by the Fantastic Four. Now, the Fantastic Four tried to stop
- 41:02them from leaving, but then so once the Fantastic Four comes in and they're
- 41:09like, oh, we gotta get the fuck out a here, no start.
- 41:15Then we jumped back to the habitat in Jerusalem with the Cocus Magneto and
- 41:22the Ambassadors, and basically the interaction, they're kind of showing them Kirkoa,
- 41:27this habitat Balkurcoa, and they're thinking, oh, how about you show us
- 41:31Kirkoa Kurkoa, like the actual island. And they're like, uh no,
- 41:37why would we do that. That sounds like a dumb idea that we're not
- 41:39going to do, because I guess the ambassadors thought they were going to show
- 41:44them actual Krokoa And it's like, you're insane. Do you think that's going
- 41:47to happen? Y'all? Crazy? Yeah, after the literal decades of just
- 41:54extreme prejudice against our people just simply because we were born with abilities, we
- 41:59never asked for you know, yeah, I think we're gonna just do a
- 42:05solid pass on that. And it's like, you think we're gonna let you
- 42:07enter our home, You're crazy. I wouldn't let these people in either.
- 42:14Shit. But yeah, there's a whole interaction between Magneto and the Ambassadors about
- 42:21that and how the Ambassadors think that they're preparing for war against the rest of
- 42:29the world. And I kind of like this interaction because Magneo is like,
- 42:32no, that was never our goal to do that. Y'all are projecting?
- 42:37Are you all okay? H are you all projecting? The mutants don't care
- 42:40about wanting to have a war with humanity. They just want to have their
- 42:45own little They want to be accepted in the world and their lives like everyone
- 42:50else. But again, humanity thinks they're up to something when they're really not.
- 42:58They're just trying to find their place in the warld Old, and Humanity
- 43:00keeps getting in the way and preventing that. So I love the interaction between
- 43:09Magneto and the Ambassadors on this because it's very much it's very it's very it's
- 43:15very nice to see Magneto in a different light here because he's full on siding
- 43:20with Xavier on this matter, and his goal is to Africa thrive and leave
- 43:28humanity to do their own bidding, even though he doesn't like the fact.
- 43:31I'm sure he doesn't like he doesn't really like humanity that much, but he
- 43:36believes in Xavier's vision more than his hatred of humanity. So he's siding with
- 43:40the Xavier and doing what the plan is he's supposed to do instead of doing
- 43:46what old Magneto would want to do. So but I love that interaction between
- 43:54them. And then we jump back to Mystique and um whether Mystique, oh
- 44:01god, Sabretooth and Toad the seque and Toad piece the fuck out indooker Cohen
- 44:07Gate as the thing is bashing his fists into Sabretooth and Mystique goes through,
- 44:14but then Sabretooth to stop by the invisible woman, and then we didn't this
- 44:21fantastic for us caught them, and of course who walks through the gate.
- 44:23It's Cyclops. And then there's a whole thing between hey, oh my god,
- 44:29we love You're big fans are acting all nice and coy with each other,
- 44:34um but ex not Exaber. Charles is like, hey, so we
- 44:37need um he Sabretooth back and they're like, no, no, we're not
- 44:47gonna do that, and he's like hmmm, but uh you're gonna. So
- 44:53he's like hmmmm there, but there's like hmmm, uh. Yeah. They're
- 44:58not liking this at all. Obviously. It's even worse because there is an
- 45:02event later on that's the Fantastic Four in the X Men dealing with Franklin Richards
- 45:08read Richards and su Storm's son who is a mutant. That's part of me
- 45:14the next story we hit outside of the X Men story, because that one's
- 45:17really good. There's another like is that part of the Ring of X or
- 45:22DNA? I think it is, but it's not actually part of the books.
- 45:25It's a side thing with the Fantastic Four because there is the whole which
- 45:31I will get into when they start. Because they're trying they're trying to recruit
- 45:36all of the major players as far as the big um what they call it,
- 45:43as far as the big players in the Mutant the strongest mutans. They're
- 45:47trying to recruit them all and Franklin Richards is the only one siding with the
- 45:52humans obviously, and they're kind of worried about that um, which I will
- 45:59get to because Franklin Richards is known as Powerhouse is a monster of a mutant.
- 46:06He is he can literally destroy everything that they've ever want that they have
- 46:09if he wanted to, because he's that powerful. So um. But there's
- 46:16the interaction betwe Cyclops and the Fantastic Four and um, they want sab Or
- 46:24two but they're refusing to give it to him, and they're like okay.
- 46:29The Cyclops walks out, He's like hmm and kind of just walks away.
- 46:34He's like, oh, we don't Why don't you keep him? Well,
- 46:38deal with it some other times, some other way, blah blah blah.
- 46:42And as as Cyclops is walking back, he said, he looks back to
- 46:50them and says, oh, and tell I guess to talk about Franklin,
- 46:55not Franklin. Yeah, Franklin Richards. It's like, oh, tell him
- 46:58when he's ready. He has a family Krokoa waiting for him. And that
- 47:04really rubs read Richards the wrong way, as you soon find out in The
- 47:08Fantastic for in the X Men, because they don't want Franklin to go to
- 47:12Kurkoa, but Franklin wants to go to Kurkoa because he kind of feels he
- 47:16doesn't feel like he fits in with the world, and he wants to go
- 47:21to Kurkoa, but his parents are like no. And then there's this whole
- 47:24battle kind of between Invisible Women and Magneto, and it's like, really fucking
- 47:30good because let me tell you, people be sleeping on the Invisible Woman.
- 47:35She's a powerhouse. She could fucking kick ash. She can kill a bit
- 47:37did she wanted to? He will be sleeping powers. I'm scared of her
- 47:43more than I'm scared of read so. But after that storyline and Cyclops goes
- 47:52back into the Gate and leaves Sabretooth, we jumped to the Omega level mutant
- 47:57chart that they have here. You'll make him and Amica. Level mutant is
- 48:00a mutant whose dominant power is deemed to register or reach an unfathomable upper limit
- 48:08of that power specific classification, which means they can't grasp how powerful there's this
- 48:16mutant certain power is. It's off the Rector scale if you will. Of
- 48:22course, as they as Jacob mentioned earlier, that there's alpha mutants in the
- 48:27which is most the mutant populations alpha and you got gamma which is powers that
- 48:32are very much on the lesser scale their mutants that are not very powerful.
- 48:37They're known as Gamma. Alpha's where a majority of the mutants are located at
- 48:43of the mutant population, there are powers mostly in Alpha. You got Omega,
- 48:47which is Omega mutants named as followed. You got Monarch who has reality
- 48:53manipulation, is also known as Um Jamie Burdock. His alliance is none.
- 49:01You've got Iceman Robert Derek temperature manipulation is all. His name is also Bobby,
- 49:08and his alliance's course with Krokoa. Then you've got Joshua Flora, which
- 49:17is a lixer and his power is bio kinesis, Krokoa, Jean Gray Marvel
- 49:24Girl telepathy Krokoa, David Holler Legion power manipulation unknown because I think he's kind
- 49:32of AMA at the moment. You got Eric Magneto magnetism, Krokoa, Kevin
- 49:40Um, Oh god, what's his name? Mctaggard protests protests. There,
- 49:54you got reality manipulation. He is technically UM where mc taggart's son. Yeah,
- 50:04yeah, And that is important because Proteus is used later on during the
- 50:09trials of Anto oh yeah, so if you guys look that up, he
- 50:15does play a role, and actually Proteus does play a very important role in
- 50:19Crocoa, but we will guess he does. He's part of the five.
- 50:23Then you got mister m Madame Manipulation Unknown. You got Aurora Menroe, Storm
- 50:30Weather manipulation Crocoa of course, Bennett du Paris Exodus telekinesis none. You got
- 50:39Quanta Quentin, which is kid Omega telepath Crocoa. Franklin Richards Powerhouse is his
- 50:47name, Reality manipulation on a universal scale, and he is human with humans.
- 50:55You got Gabriel Summer's Vulcan energy manipulation Krokoa and Hope Summers Hope and Power
- 51:04Manipulation Krokoa. Franklin Richards is one of their biggest worries currently, I would
- 51:09say in this stage of Kirkoa, which obviously they have a whole series where
- 51:15they try to get him to join Krokoa because they'd rather have him on their
- 51:20side than the humans, because if the humans were to ever, we stdn't
- 51:24find out if humans were rich. You're trying anything. Granted I don't think
- 51:29they use Franklin, but Franklin is there on the human side, and that
- 51:34does worry Charles especially and Magneto. So those are the omega level mutants as
- 51:42of right now and where they lie as far as Lance goes. And Franklin
- 51:45Richards is a person of interest with KROKOA. So from there we jump back
- 51:52to the ambassadors continuing on their journey through the habitats, and they're still wanting
- 51:59to There's a whole back and forth between them, and then one of them
- 52:04ends up having a gun. Magneto gets pissed, dismantles the gun and he's
- 52:12like, I wasn't going to use it. I was using it for for
- 52:14protection purposes, and Magnetos like, oh, that's how it always starts.
- 52:21Why would you need to bring a gun? First off, why would you
- 52:24need why would you even bring a gun? You wouldn't be able to use
- 52:28it with the step for with two of the step for cuckoos, and Magneto,
- 52:30dear, do you think you were ever going to be able to use
- 52:32it? Like hello? So that was dumb on the about on that man's
- 52:40part, honestly, And that's where Magneto really steps up his speech and he
- 52:52calls him many all a bunch of wolves, and then it goes to this
- 52:55whole conversation how humanity. You love your symbol, right, you love your
- 53:00religion, your religious religions of the world, and shit, well you have
- 53:07new gods now aka mutant kind. And that is where issue one ends,
- 53:15which I think is a fabulous way to end it, honestly, like it's
- 53:20so good, so good. So from there you go into Power of X
- 53:32issue one, which honestly, this has taken this a lot, ladies and
- 53:38gentlemen. So Power of X Issue one starts with a quote, here's the
- 53:45thing, Charles, it's not a dream if it's real, which is said
- 53:49by Moira Mittaggard. So we and this one, we'd jump back and forth
- 53:55into different timelines throughout history, so buckle up, it's going to get a
- 54:05little weird. So in this one we're jumping. We're jumping between different timelines.
- 54:08You got X zero, which is year one the dream, X one
- 54:15year ten the world, X two year one hundred the war, and X
- 54:22three year one thousand the ascension. So this one's pretty easy because we're going
- 54:30to go over or I'm going to go over each what happens in each year,
- 54:35and it's basically just the bullet points of it. So year zero.
- 54:39We start off in year zero where Charles Xavier is walking through this fair as
- 54:45enjoying himself on this very beautiful, wondrous day. This is back in his
- 54:47early days. He's still he's able to walk during this time. He hasn't
- 54:52lost ability to walk yet. This is before the x Men creation of the
- 54:55x Men ship. This is when Xavier has his dream, which is the
- 55:00why Year zero is known as the Dream. So he sits down on a
- 55:04bench to people watch. Here he's approached by a young woman, Moira can
- 55:13Ross or Metaggard, it's also her name. Now again to this character right
- 55:20here. So Moira is a character that's been around for quite some time,
- 55:25good thirty plus years in the comics. As far as the publication goes,
- 55:30she's been around forever, not thirty or more than thirty years. She was
- 55:36originally the person that Xavier would go to to figure out a mutant's abilities.
- 55:45So someone's showing capabilities of certain abilities and shit, and he couldn't pinpoint on
- 55:50how like powerful or pinpoint what abilities these are. He would go to her,
- 55:54and she, as a scientist, would would figure out the information.
- 55:59For example, so they worked hand in hand with each other back in the
- 56:01day. And I don't think originally she was a mutant. She was a
- 56:07human that worked with Xavier, because I think she was a mutant until until
- 56:10this obviously. So he meets up with her Moira, who makes a cryptic
- 56:16remarks about a fortune teller, and as the conversation goes on, Xavier mentions
- 56:22a beautiful dream. Now they go into the detail with the fortune teller.
- 56:29She gets shots about the fortune she got about the three cards, the Magician,
- 56:34see the Magician, the Metal metamorph, the Great Sword, and the
- 56:38Girl with one foot in two worlds. Now it shows a mutant, a
- 56:45blue skinned mutant that has a sword that looks like another mean's. She is
- 56:51important later on. Then we got the Tower is see the Tower, the
- 56:57Tower access, the Pillar of collot of collapse and rebirth, the Monolith of
- 57:04Ascension, which is also important later on. And then you got the Devil
- 57:07see the Devil, the Red God, and the Lost Cardinal of the Last
- 57:14Religion. Again shows a red skinned mutant that kind of looks like Nightcrawler in
- 57:21a way. Again important later on. These are all characters, or these
- 57:27are all things that are that coming to play later. So as she's explaining
- 57:32this to Xavier. During this conversation, Xavier then mentions a beautiful dream he
- 57:38head, which she is trying to work out in his head so it can
- 57:43be a story he can tell people. Moira remarks that a dream seas to
- 57:47be a dream, wants it becomes real. Xavier realizes that something is not
- 57:52quite right about this and asks her to read her mind. Puzzled, he
- 58:00complies or she asked him to read her mind. He complies, but he's
- 58:04surprised the way he finds. And that is where we leave off one zero
- 58:07for now, because it kind of leaves off on that little cliffhanger. Then
- 58:10we jump into the future to X one, which is year ten, which
- 58:15is present day. Mystique emerges from Maker Cohen Gateway and took her CoA accompanyed
- 58:23by Toad, telling Toad that he is off the clock, off the clock,
- 58:29job's done whatever. She then carries on to the House of m which
- 58:34is part of one of the many places on her CooA, where she meets
- 58:37Magneto. She tells him that her partner Sabretooth, was captured during the heist
- 58:44and she got the target a memory stick that has all this information line.
- 58:49She willingly hands it over, but says her demands have increased. Xavier steps
- 58:54into view encounters that they will ask more of her in return. Mystique mocks
- 59:02his seeing of lack of humanization. As they put it, Xavier merely says
- 59:07that he is building a world safe for mutants and that everyone will owe something
- 59:15to live there. Now a little more context on Mystique. Mistique did this
- 59:20job for one reason, and one reason only. She wanted her lover back.
- 59:29They had not. As you soon find out, Destiny is, of
- 59:35course, and in a relationship with Mystique, it's Mystique's wife. Destiny is
- 59:38a mutant that can see the future. Destiny is kind of I wouldn't say
- 59:46a threat, but they're worried about about Destiny, which she'll soon which you'll
- 59:55soon come to light on. Why they're so has its hint on Destiny.
- 1:00:01But that's why Mastique did this job for her wife, who's currently um not
- 1:00:07alive, deceased, yes, deceased for now, we'll get into that.
- 1:00:14Then we jump into year two, which is year one hundred the war year
- 1:00:17two. So this war is between the mutants and the man machine supremacy and
- 1:00:24the man machine supremacy is basically man and machine joined forces to take out mute
- 1:00:30kind. That's that's basically that's it. That's yeah, that's basically the GISTs
- 1:00:37on that. Uh So, then you got a four person squad of X
- 1:00:42Men because sitting at three projects products of mister Sinister's mutant breeding program Resputin four
- 1:00:51Restputan four is Oh gosh, I love first off, I love her,
- 1:00:58I love her. So mister Sinister, mister um x so we're a going
- 1:01:05this track, mister Sinister. Sorry, mister Sinister is a is a character
- 1:01:08that loves genetics, He loves playing around with shit. He is an X
- 1:01:13Men villain and he is going to be one of the more important characters on
- 1:01:16why Krokoa is where Krokowa does. And honestly, if they could have found
- 1:01:23another way to use what mister Sinister has, I would never have brought mister
- 1:01:28Sinister into Kirkoa in the first place, because mister Sinister is a mess,
- 1:01:36a hot ass mess. That's just my opinion on him. He's a hot
- 1:01:39ass fucking mess and kind of a low key dirt bag, but he's a
- 1:01:45villain Okay, hi key, but he's fabulous, so you know, I
- 1:01:49love him and I hate him at the same time. So there's that's that.
- 1:01:53So mister Sinister presumably sides with which we'll soon find out when we go
- 1:02:00back to present day or pre I think year zero, years zero, year
- 1:02:07one, whatever. He's part of the formation of Kurkoa. At some point
- 1:02:10between then ye between year one and two where the war happens, he leaves.
- 1:02:16He says, fucking mutants, I'm going over to humans. And that's
- 1:02:21where this whole story comes up because he has more experimentation on mutant kind,
- 1:02:25bands up betraying them at some point in the future. And then these mutants
- 1:02:30are products of mister Senensor when he was doing his experimentation, because he does
- 1:02:37experiments on mutants and genetics regardless if they want him to or not, because
- 1:02:39he's going to do an in secret. So rest Mutant four is one of
- 1:02:45these products. He is a combination of different mutants DNA. You got the
- 1:02:50metal skin, which is from Colossus, so and then you be got Quentin
- 1:03:00quentin um kill Omega, which has which how she had her powers of telepathy.
- 1:03:09Then you've got um. Okay, what's his name unis the Untouchable I
- 1:03:22think that's his name, or gunther Bang, which is forest Fields, Kitty
- 1:03:27Pride because she's basically has key prides probably which you can face between um objects.
- 1:03:34And then you've got the healing factor from Laura Kinley, which is m
- 1:03:38X twenty three or Wolverine, Hey, Wolverine. So these mutants genetics all
- 1:03:46form into Reciputin the fourth as well as like her swork because she obviously is
- 1:03:53giving resputin vibes between Colossus and magic because she has a soul sword, which
- 1:04:02is very much connected to magic. Yeah, well, my favorite characters.
- 1:04:09Amazing. And then you got other mutants in here as well. You got
- 1:04:14a cardinal and an unnamed cardinal and Purse Okay, what's his name? Perceival
- 1:04:26Percival, which is a mutant. Oh god, Percival was the one of
- 1:04:33the last mutants to the inhabited Kirk Cohen's settlement of Asteroid k pursuable blah blah
- 1:04:42blah. He's just one of the last mutants that are with that's with um
- 1:04:45Rest mutant four. So between them, Oh shit, I lose my place.
- 1:04:53I did lose my place. Hold up, add this part out,
- 1:04:56Devin, I lost my spot. You go back the next parent one?
- 1:05:01All right, okay, where was that rasping four? First of all,
- 1:05:12whatever, As the as this group of mutants tries to do their mission,
- 1:05:19they are caught off guard by the m as well as one deflector from the
- 1:05:31ascendency Black Brain program sile Sali bell Sali Bell is also another member of this
- 1:05:40group. So are on a mission to extract something from the nexus in the
- 1:05:44northern territory of this world future world of Earth. Their mission has been discovered,
- 1:05:51leading to the death of pars Persival and the Cardinal Plants and car coincide
- 1:06:00to be the gateway for them to escape. Um Settle Bell is captured alive
- 1:06:06and who has the Black Brain, who's also a reference to the Hounds and
- 1:06:14have past storyline. It's an old storyline that she's referencing that her character is
- 1:06:18referencing as Granted, you really don't need to know any of that going in,
- 1:06:21So if you don't know anything about the past, like forty fifty sixty
- 1:06:26some years of X when you're fine, you don't really need to know it.
- 1:06:28But that's the kind of a reference to that for anyone who is Big
- 1:06:31into the X Men series. Back in the old back up years ago X
- 1:06:35Men stories passed, so they plan to see the try escape the Sarah Belle
- 1:06:44is captured alive and Reciput and struggles to free her. Additional forces arrive of
- 1:06:49the robots and humans, and Sorry Bold demands that Reciput and leave her behind
- 1:06:55to complete the mission. Eventually after are trying not try not to. After
- 1:07:15refusing, Reciput and eventually does go leave leaves her. Then we jump over
- 1:07:25to other there's a description of Mystery Sinister's mutant breeding program, which he ran
- 1:07:32from the Sentinel Breeding Pit pits on Mars. The mutant leaders would only endorse
- 1:07:41the program because constant fighting made difficult for mutants to find time to have children,
- 1:07:47so that's where recputing four came from. The program lasted through four iterations.
- 1:07:53The first generation were designed to be um divergent copies of DNA sources with
- 1:08:01an uncompromised ex gene. Second generations were the beginning of the chimera phase.
- 1:08:08Third generations are more so of this. They had featured up to five exchange
- 1:08:13from different mutants, and the fortune was a generation suffered a failure and were
- 1:08:20produced with a corrupted hive mind that was responsible for the destruction of her coat
- 1:08:28and forty percent of the meat and population. They commit a mass suicide collapse
- 1:08:33Mars and the sister breeding pods and themselves into a self singularity. The whole
- 1:08:40fucking mass happened on the fourth generation, but I think Rasping four comes from
- 1:08:44the third because she's what she started the She's one of the chimera processes.
- 1:08:50I was also mentioned that mister Sinister was executed by a by the Man Machine
- 1:08:57Supremacy. After being defeated or succeeding, he gets publicly executed by the human
- 1:09:05machine the Human Machine Embassy or whatever the fuck it's called where the humans and
- 1:09:11the machines joined together in harmony. Oh oh, so from there Us style
- 1:09:20Bell is taken to the Human Machine Monoliths and Standing four Nimrod the Lesser Now.
- 1:09:28Nimrod is a sentinel that comes from an older storyline as well, but
- 1:09:32he is obviously back and he is much stronger and more vicious than he was
- 1:09:39back then. So Nimrod's an older villain that came back that Javin Hickman decided
- 1:09:44to bring back. They want information, so their goal is they want information
- 1:09:53from this mutant's black brain. She's like, you're gonna have to kill me
- 1:09:59to do it, and basically they're like, oh cool, we'll do that,
- 1:10:02but it's gonna be worse than death. So they stick into a tube
- 1:10:06and there's this liquid of and of little little microscopic little robots. They go
- 1:10:15inside her body and basically make her a living corpse where she's there but she's
- 1:10:19basically dead. She's still able to sense and feel what's happening around her,
- 1:10:27but she's kind of just she's gone, Like she's gone. There. They
- 1:10:30have all the information they need from her. They're gonna extract the information they
- 1:10:33are wanting from her brain, and that's basically the end of her. So
- 1:10:42from there we jump over to um them emerging on Krocoa. Now on Asteroid
- 1:10:50k there's an interaction between the group. Rasputin is inclined to hate, inclined
- 1:10:59to hate the cardinal because the cardinal Cardinal apologize the rest being force, saying
- 1:11:06that as a cardinal he is psychologically incapable of violence, which is very similar
- 1:11:13to Nightcrawler because during the fight he didn't really conduct a violence whatsoever. Because
- 1:11:17he's like, that's not my way. I can't do that, And that's
- 1:11:20very Nightcrawler of him, and he kind of looks like Nightcrawler. He's the
- 1:11:25one known as the devil on the cart. That's he's very much like Nightcrawler
- 1:11:30in the fact that he's he's a passive or he doesn't want to conduct violence.
- 1:11:38Neil's violence for no reason, so he apologizes for a barros Putin is
- 1:11:44inclined to hate him from the moment, but they have a mission to complaint.
- 1:11:47Of course. The rest of the X Man, including an aging War
- 1:11:51with War is Wolverine. Freaking Wolverine is still around this future unsurprising, but
- 1:12:04he's known as War because also he's This is also the same UM group that's
- 1:12:12part of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Are there a last group of
- 1:12:21Apocalypse is four Horsemen, So he is War. I'm assuming that's where they
- 1:12:27got the name from. So he's still alive, which I'm like, not
- 1:12:30surprise, because you can't kill him whatever, and Um from there her to
- 1:12:41speak to the successful extraction of the target item at the cost of two of
- 1:12:46their friends. War says they need to take it to the old Man.
- 1:12:50Now. The old man in question is of course Apocalypse because of course again
- 1:13:00Apocalypse is still alive at this point too. And again not surprised. Are
- 1:13:09you surprised, because I'm not. I'm not surprised. Yeah, honestly,
- 1:13:14Apocalypse is one of the few like mutants that I would think that stands a
- 1:13:17chance at stopping the Sentinels. But then he might have at one point,
- 1:13:24yeah maybe not now foreshadowing. So there's this from and after that there's a
- 1:13:31description of mutant demographic data with the depths of to the mutants. The mutan
- 1:13:39population of k astro K is now eight. There are eight mutants left.
- 1:13:44That's it. Eight gone poof That's sad. So from there we jumped to
- 1:13:54the majority. The mutan population lives on bev Vinolence in Folens, a converted
- 1:14:01transport station located on the fringe of the Shire space, which serves as a
- 1:14:08buffer between the Shier Empire and the wildness of the broad Breeding territory. The
- 1:14:14mutant population there's over eight thousand. Shar Homeworld has a mutant colony just under
- 1:14:19two thousand souls, but a treaty with the Shier Empire. Most of them
- 1:14:25are used as warriors or the Imperial Guard of the Shier Empire. Currently there
- 1:14:29are six Muns that serve as super Guardians, while fifty seven are under the
- 1:14:34sub guardian classification. Now, if you're wondering the Shire Empire, who are
- 1:14:40they? They're an alien race that has a long history with the Mutants because
- 1:14:45one of the queens had a thing for Xavier back in the day. So
- 1:14:51of course the Shier Empire is going to be intertwined with the Mutant matters.
- 1:14:57Not surprised again, then from there would jump to X three. We see
- 1:15:06a person that is blue and from what I can tell, he is known
- 1:15:14as the Librarian. His job is the is um laments that the minds and
- 1:15:26the database are begin to fade to digital decay. Nimrod, who's still around,
- 1:15:32Nimrod the Lesser, has given way to Nimrod the Greater, which um
- 1:15:39what they call it was Nimrod a Signel. Signel have a drive to become
- 1:15:45perfect. So the next step from Nimrod the Lesser is Nimrod the Greater,
- 1:15:49who admits that the database was not meant to survive for so long. The
- 1:15:54database was intended as a tactical advantage to Let's supremacy win the war between them
- 1:16:00and the mutants, but the world changed so much that the war became unnecessary.
- 1:16:05Homo sapiens and its subspecies are over and passed, but a habitat is
- 1:16:11maintained in the nexus, a sealed bio spirit containing some preserved mutants living wild
- 1:16:18in a and a wildness like habitat is a museum peace to preach the curiosity
- 1:16:27of younger minds. They give them a sense of wonder at the long story
- 1:16:31of life on Earth and give an idea of the horror that came it could
- 1:16:38ensue if they would ever rule Earth again. So you can at this point
- 1:16:45in next three they kind of see no point in heaven the war anymore because
- 1:16:48humanity as they are kind of just's not around anymore. Humanity is not the
- 1:16:54same, as you're soon to find out, Isn't that fucking her ironic?
- 1:17:00They were afraid of going extinct, and then what happens. They don't really
- 1:17:08go extinct. They kind of just I mean, I'll go into it more
- 1:17:15when we get to it. But yeah, so humans and the machines become
- 1:17:25one basically, which that becomes more apparent later on when they actually just when
- 1:17:30you actually see it happen but it kind of is reference here because he meant
- 1:17:34Homo sapiens are not the same anymore, obviously, because they teamed up the
- 1:17:38machines and then the machines and the humans kind of interlocked. So humans are
- 1:17:45not the same humans anymore. They're more machine than human. I think they're
- 1:17:50more like synthizoids, like kind of like vision um, I mean I could
- 1:17:58see that kind of Yeah, I guess that I could. I could see
- 1:18:02that that kind that makes sense. They're kind of like a hybread between the
- 1:18:06two and that and from there. That's the end of Power of X issue
- 1:18:15one. Oh, this might be a longer series than initially thought, Ladies
- 1:18:21and Gentlemen, but we're gonna keep going. This might end up being a
- 1:18:26three part than that two parter, which we will record at later part.
- 1:18:30We're not doing this song one night, Jacob. I know this ended up
- 1:18:33becoming a much larger project than issially thought. So m I learned. I've
- 1:18:40just realized. I've just deal with that dowb By. Oh, Yeah,
- 1:18:43there's a lot here. Cool, We're gonna push that back a little bit.
- 1:18:45That's fine. So we're going into House of X issue two. Now.
- 1:18:55We just got the first tuition that we're going to this third issue in
- 1:18:59this overarching story, which is about the uncanny life of Moira x or that's
- 1:19:09name with a story anyway or more, i'mataggered, so more, I'm ataggard.
- 1:19:15This story is very much about her. It starts when she was thirteen
- 1:19:20years old, Mora felt ill with an unnaturally high fever, unnounced to her
- 1:19:27and anyone else. This was, in fact, her mutant power manifesting,
- 1:19:30because of course it was. She wasn't a muting before, but then John
- 1:19:32and had gonna say, let's make her a mute, which I absolutely fucking
- 1:19:36love, because her mutant power is kind of lit. So Moira would go
- 1:19:42through life as an ordinary person, having children, living life, marrying all
- 1:19:45that fun shit, and eventually dying at seventy four. It was only now
- 1:19:51that her mutation made itself apparent to her, as as Moira Well was reborn.
- 1:20:03She goes through many, many lives in this issue, and we see
- 1:20:08those lives unfold before us throughout this whole fucking issue. So they kind of
- 1:20:15give a fast paced explanation on her life. Because some lives are some lives
- 1:20:19are more detailed than others, don't want to go over here. Yes,
- 1:20:26So in her second life, she became obvious at her parents that Moore was
- 1:20:31gifted, of course, because she still had her memory. So when she's
- 1:20:34reborn, dis In is reborn again, she has the memories of her past
- 1:20:39lives, so she takes the information into the next life, which aids her
- 1:20:45in her mission that she's trying to do. So her parents find out she
- 1:20:48obviously figure out something's not not necessarily wrong with her, but she's different.
- 1:20:54But she is careful with this gift. She's careful not to reveal her true
- 1:20:58nature. Instead simply plane along allow her parents to push her into life of
- 1:21:03academia where she might learn more about her true nature. After that, she
- 1:21:09after watching Child's Xavier Oxford, she announced to the world that on television that
- 1:21:15he was immune. After Sorry, this is when Charles Xavier announced the world
- 1:21:19that he was immune. Where I was watching that, began to believe that
- 1:21:24her she herself was immuned and traveled to America to meet with him. While
- 1:21:29crossing the Atlantic, her plane crash. She died. After her second life.
- 1:21:34What a way to go though, Damn her third life happens Morea's realigned
- 1:21:40to focus on genetics and anthropology and actively sought out Xavier and Oxford, but
- 1:21:48however, she had developed a distaste for her abilities and found Xavier off putting.
- 1:21:56She declared to developing a cure for mutations, but before she could use
- 1:22:02it on others or herself, she was interstpted by the Brotherhood of Evil.
- 1:22:08Destiny came into the picture. Destiny, who is the leader of the Brotherhood
- 1:22:12of Evil and a mutant with precognitive powers who could see the future. And
- 1:22:20I think what she could see the past and future something like that. She
- 1:22:25could see like all like She's basically able to see all outcomes, which is
- 1:22:30one of the big reasons why they didn't want to bring her back. But
- 1:22:31you know, so, she is taken in by the Brotherhood of Evil and
- 1:22:36she meets Destiny. Destiny warns her against ever moving against mutants. She told
- 1:22:44Moira that she would be keep an eye on her and would kill her again
- 1:22:48and again and again should she ever try to move against mutants. She also
- 1:22:54warned more that she was not immortal, but would live to live at most
- 1:22:59level and lives depending on her choices. After making this case to Moira,
- 1:23:05she has Pyro set her on fire and kill her because you get this whole
- 1:23:11panel that that destiny is like, okay, and Pyro just lights her,
- 1:23:15lights her ass on fire and she burns the death and this starts her fourth
- 1:23:18life. Fourth life, Mora decided to dedicate herself to mutant causes, fell
- 1:23:26in love with the Xavier. She co followed the x Men with him,
- 1:23:29and together they led led them for years and till and well until they and
- 1:23:35their fellow x Men were killed by the Sentnels. That's her fourth life.
- 1:23:43Her fifth life, Morma took a more aggressive approach, running away from home
- 1:23:47at the age of thirteen to find Xavier. She allowed him to read her
- 1:23:51mind, revealing the knowledge that she had from her first four lives. Racalized
- 1:23:57by the experience, Xavier gathered a legion of mutants to build the city of
- 1:24:01far Away as a mutant save Haven once again. However, their dream was
- 1:24:09killed by Sentinels who killed Moreiro during the attack on Far Away, and that's
- 1:24:14the end of her fifth life. Her sixth life in the mystery does not
- 1:24:17they do not disclose what happened on her sixth life. Her seventh life comes
- 1:24:23in. Decided to track trash. Yeah Yeah, sorry, decided to eradicate
- 1:24:33the Trask bloodline, hoping that killing anyone related to the inventor of the Sentinels
- 1:24:40would prevent them from existing. She learned, however, that the emergence of
- 1:24:45the Sentinels is going to happen regardless, and that someone else would simply be
- 1:24:48the first one to create them, and of course, she was killed after
- 1:24:53discovering the master Mold. Her eighth life, she rejected Xavier but instead caught
- 1:25:00out Magneto after revealing that she knew to him. He conquered the United States
- 1:25:08of America and the War of m but he was eventually stopped by mutants.
- 1:25:15By the collaboration of mutants and non mutants heroes, Moira died after an attempt
- 1:25:21prison break. That's her eighth life. She's like, cool, Xavier's not
- 1:25:27working out. Fuck this guy, let's go ahead, magnet to Oh shit,
- 1:25:30that don't work out, So who should go to next? In her
- 1:25:31ninth life, she turns to Apocalypse because I'm like, I guess that's the
- 1:25:36next step, right right, Apocalypse, So she goes to the Apocalypse.
- 1:25:44She woke him up early, earlier than he normally does in the timeline and
- 1:25:48belief that only he could ensure mut and Kind's survival. They and their first
- 1:25:54Horseman raged warrened Humanity and the Sentinels, but eventually Myra died once again.
- 1:26:00Then we go into her tenth life, which is her current one. Once
- 1:26:04again sought out Xavier at Oxford. She opened up her mind to him again
- 1:26:10and revealed all this she knew. And that is where the first issue,
- 1:26:13the very first issue, ended on that storyline. When he read her mind,
- 1:26:17he saw all of this, all of these memories of her other lives,
- 1:26:25how they fell in love, how she went to Magneto in the Brotherhood,
- 1:26:30and how she went to Apocalypse. Now Desney offed her ass and all
- 1:26:34that bunshit that is Power of X Now, I'm sorry, that's how's of
- 1:26:42X issue too in a nutshell all about more? Any comments on that?
- 1:26:50Yeah, when I read this, When I first read this, I was
- 1:26:54like, oh, right, well, that's how they're They're making every They
- 1:26:59basically made everything canon. It's like, yeah, you know, everything that
- 1:27:04happened in the X Men, it's cannon, except now it's a twist.
- 1:27:10Each storyline was just another lifetime of moiras. Yeah, and now with this
- 1:27:17last with this last one we're still waiting to figure out. Is this it?
- 1:27:25Because she realizes she only has a loved lives left, She only has
- 1:27:28loved lives at most. This is her tenth. So she's like now,
- 1:27:31She's like, well, shit, I gotta go back to Xavier. We're
- 1:27:33gonna I'm gonna make this work one way or another. So this is when
- 1:27:38she went back to Xavier for her tenth for her tenth life again. M
- 1:27:44hmm, let me go onto House of X Issue two. Now. From
- 1:27:51here we go back to the early days of the X men Professor Xavier and
- 1:27:55Maury Raman Taggard visit my Medo on his island base in the Bermuda Triangle because,
- 1:28:02of course, Magneto has a base and the Bermenia Triangle. Of course,
- 1:28:06I'm not surprised. Xavier has come to mend his relationship with Magneto in
- 1:28:13despite mistrusting him, Magneto agrees to open up his mind to them more reveals
- 1:28:19her true nature to him, giving Magneto a glimpse into her previous lives like
- 1:28:24she did for Xavier in seeing the many ways in which he has failed.
- 1:28:31Magneto joins Xavier and Moira Morea's proposal that they went to him for a long
- 1:28:38time plan to guarantee the future of mutant kind. Then we jumped to the
- 1:28:43present and the present. Magneto Xaviers show Cyclops the plants of the mother mold,
- 1:28:48a master mole that creates other master molds. So this motherfucker, this
- 1:28:53mother mold creates master molds that will create sentinels, and they believe the mother
- 1:29:01mold will usher a generation of sentinels that this is when Nimrod emerges. So
- 1:29:11from there, the order strike on the mother mold which is in a station
- 1:29:14which is long station ordering the orbiting the sun, and Cyclops leaves with to
- 1:29:21go get a group of mutants to go up there. They would jump to
- 1:29:26one hundred years into the future. A cardinal and recipe in the fourth return
- 1:29:31to clifully from the mission, having retreated on an index indexing machine which will
- 1:29:38allow them to know the location of the key machine. Intel Cocoa manages to
- 1:29:44successfully decode the index, revealing the location. Wolverine then points out the information
- 1:29:50is useless since they would not would have to hold off the sentinels in order
- 1:29:57to access the interface. This interface returned to a suicide mission, but Apocalypse
- 1:30:01assures them he will he will succeed because he will personally go with them and
- 1:30:06lead them. Because that's going to go well. Right. Then we jump
- 1:30:14to a thousand years into the future. The Librarian, as his character is
- 1:30:17known and Nimrods have been successful in their plan to prove their value to the
- 1:30:26higher civilizations and the universe. They create a collective intelligence called Nimbus, which
- 1:30:40transforms Ni Ni Nibrew into a world mind or that I guess that's the name
- 1:30:47of our world Nibrew Imbru. Yes, it's a solar system and plant in
- 1:30:57the solar system that is a rosen gas planet. Nonetheless, they figure out
- 1:31:02how to do that. They create a collective intelligence and then the world Mind
- 1:31:08is found by Failings. Now, Failings is a very interesting group or race
- 1:31:15alien race. Failings is an alien race which is a shoot off of the
- 1:31:23technarchy. They're a techno organic race essentially. So they are founded by found
- 1:31:34by them and Failings, who successfully consumes it. They're World Mind and come
- 1:31:44to Earth to find its creators. They ask them what it is they seek
- 1:31:49and the answer Ascension wishing to be absorbed into the Failings collective. Now the
- 1:31:58Failings against a technologically like techno organic race. It's almost like a hive mind.
- 1:32:04Um. They are want to be They're wanting to be consumed by them,
- 1:32:09to ascend and join the collective. Now, if I remember correctly from
- 1:32:15my research, they do have a chance of failing because if the Failings doesn't
- 1:32:18see them as um basically sees them as worthy, they will kill them off.
- 1:32:25So they so they will either die or be absorbed into the collective.
- 1:32:30And that's where we left off, and that's where we evolve. On Power
- 1:32:34of X issue two, Dan we jump to House of X issue three.
- 1:32:45Now, this is where we're getting too the t It's Oregon to the t
- 1:32:53M. So how's of X issue three? We observe Cyclops as he is
- 1:33:00the observation of Cyclops informed Magnito Infessor X that he has assembled a team in
- 1:33:05order to attack the Mother Mold. Cyclops then briefs the team composed the Wolverine,
- 1:33:12Husk archangel Um, Oh God, what's his name, Marvel Girl,
- 1:33:17Nightcrawler, Mystique, and mon Monee, Saint Crow crow Wix but her name,
- 1:33:30but her name is monat Um, so they can so that is the
- 1:33:35group that he is that he has gathered to do this mission. I'm miss
- 1:33:43it. H really days hold up, I lost my train of thought again.
- 1:33:49God damn it. Okay, House of X issue three, Oh got
- 1:33:54it? Okay. So he gathered up these mutants to do the mission.
- 1:33:59I take off from the Summer House, which the Summer House is a house
- 1:34:03for the Summer Family. That's the thing. So in the superhuman prison known
- 1:34:10as Project acolas It trial is being held for Sabretooth. The trial is interrupted
- 1:34:17by the Queen Icon Legend herself. Let me tell you, I was so
- 1:34:23excited. I was like, where's my queen, where's Emma Frost? And
- 1:34:27when she popped in there, she walked in like she owned the goddamn place.
- 1:34:30She's like, Nah, y'alla, bitches, I'm coming in here.
- 1:34:32You're gonna give me fucking Sabretooth. I love this scene so much. It's
- 1:34:39so good because she just walks like she owns the fucking place and she doesn't
- 1:34:43get two goddamn shits. It's just it's just so good. It's just literally
- 1:34:47so good. At least to me. It's like real good. Um power
- 1:34:54banks, thanks, Okay, let me pull it up on my little thing,
- 1:35:00because I want to see this playoff because this ship looks like fun and
- 1:35:04I just love it. So yeah, sever dude has brought it before the
- 1:35:09Supreme Courts and they're wanting to put it in prison. And then of course
- 1:35:15Emma comes in with two of the stufford cuckoos, because of course she walks
- 1:35:19in and she's like, well, what have we here? And then when
- 1:35:25Seffork kuds like, it looks to me like the monkeys are using tools again
- 1:35:30Miss Frost playing at civilization, they called the monkeys. Wow, that's I'm
- 1:35:40offended, but like slay Queen, slay cuckoo. And then Imma was like,
- 1:35:45young lady, how many times have I told you we only use our
- 1:35:49mutant names in public? So I have to insist you call me the White
- 1:35:53Queen. And I'm like, that's the most she's serving. Emma Frost is
- 1:35:58serving cut like she is full on serving queen. Uh. Now, if
- 1:36:04you don't know who Na Frost is, let me give you a rundown on
- 1:36:08the Queen icon legend herself. So, Emma Frost is a villain slash superhero
- 1:36:14slash X men back and forth. She has a long complicated history of being
- 1:36:18part of the Health Fire Club or the Hood of Evil, the X Men,
- 1:36:23all that fun shit, but she is mostly known to be a part
- 1:36:25of the Health Fire Club. She is known as the White Queen. She
- 1:36:28is one of the big players in the Health Fire Clubs as she holds the
- 1:36:32seat for one of the big seats for that. Her powers are Oh god,
- 1:36:40me, where are you now? I don't need cause of death,
- 1:36:46uh route, Oh my god, I need a breakdown of her powers.
- 1:36:50I know her powers set, but what makes sure I get it right?
- 1:36:54She is a telepath, but I don't. She has other abilities. Okay,
- 1:36:59Hairbay diamond, she can turn into it. She can transform herself into
- 1:37:03a diamond. That's one of her newest powers. Yes, so she's a
- 1:37:08Omega class telepath. Additionally, she her one of her newest um abilities that
- 1:37:18she got within the last I think it was during the nineties when she got
- 1:37:23it, maybe because she didn't always have this power. She her skin can
- 1:37:27become a diamond. And when she's in this diamond form, she you cannot
- 1:37:34tap into her brain to read her mind. It's kind of like it closes
- 1:37:38off her body as well as her skin becomes hard as diamonds. So,
- 1:37:45but she can't use her her telepathy. She cannot use her telepathy, so
- 1:37:50she's telepath. She also has um psionic. She can also makes shields,
- 1:37:58um telepathic, mind cloaking, top ethic illusions, absorb information, download information
- 1:38:04through her used to telepathy, power inhabitation, pain, inducement, all through
- 1:38:14her powers of telepathy, mind control, mind link. She has anything you
- 1:38:19could think of that she could use your telepathy. She can. So she's
- 1:38:23a bad bitch and one of my favorite mutants. So she presents herself to
- 1:38:30the judge along with paperwork as the US government has agreed to a general amidst
- 1:38:38of all mutants on American soil, in with Krocoa becoming a sovereign nation.
- 1:38:45Despite the protest the human officers at the court, despite the protests from human
- 1:38:51officials, Emma Saber two, they're both to walk free and return to Krocoa.
- 1:38:56But this is a lot of back and forth because the jugs like,
- 1:38:58what the fuck are you doing? You don't have to just action here,
- 1:39:00and there's some of the pot there's some of the officers are like pointing guns
- 1:39:02at her, and Emma's like, huh, that might not be smart,
- 1:39:08because honestly, if anyone, I'm sorry, if you're an official like that
- 1:39:12in the US government, you will know that Emma Frost is a threat.
- 1:39:16She's she's one of the big mutants. That's a that's a threat. UM.
- 1:39:21I don't know what she was thinking. That officer was thinking a pointing
- 1:39:25a gun at her, because she would probably end up shooting herself before she
- 1:39:28shoots Emma. But Emma's not using her powers because that's what they vowed not
- 1:39:33vowed to do, is not harmed human, harmed humans in any way.
- 1:39:38But she's using the power of UM diplomacy and law to her advantage. And
- 1:39:45she gets Sabertooth back and they returned to Krakoa. Then we jumped to the
- 1:39:48Orcas Forge, where the Mother World is being constructed. Human scientists tate that
- 1:39:54the X Men have appeared on the Forge. Nightcrawler is sent for retcon and
- 1:40:01encounters the chief scientists and Omega Sitnel. Omega Sitnel reduces Um deduces that the
- 1:40:10X Men plan to attack the control consoles in order to destroy UM the Mother
- 1:40:15World by setting it directly into the sun. The X Men doc onto the
- 1:40:19station began drilling their way in, realizing that their only hope for defeating the
- 1:40:25X Men is to um for is to basically go off and kill them all,
- 1:40:30huh, or blow up the facility. So from there they set off
- 1:40:36a bomb, killing one of the chief of security, sets off a bomb,
- 1:40:42killing himself and destroying the X Men's vessel. Now the X Men do
- 1:40:47not look like they're gonna make this out alive as a soon are aware this
- 1:40:53is not ending well. Um, but the bomb goes off, and that's
- 1:40:59where the issue ends. Um, yes, that's where this issue ends.
- 1:41:05Then we jump to power of House of X. Issue I do House of
- 1:41:13I do already do. Power of X ischie three. No I have not,
- 1:41:15so we go to power vaxsie three. Now power of X is shee
- 1:41:19three. We jump to year X two. Uh, issue three. There
- 1:41:28we go. So then this one we jump to issue X year X to
- 1:41:33the X Men, year one hundred. As the Church of Ascendants conducted to
- 1:41:40worship the Worship of Machines is hosting a sermon at the Temple of Concordance.
- 1:41:48The X Men arrived attack or make a sentinel watches from the Human Machine Monolith
- 1:41:55triesic events member all the lesser to of the need to investigate, and he
- 1:42:00refuses, of course, dismissing the attack as meaningless. Omega heads off alone
- 1:42:05to confront the X Men, where she m a squadron of Sentinels gained the
- 1:42:11upper hand promoting permitting or not promoting respeeding in the fourth to remove Death.
- 1:42:20That's mask. So Death is another mutant with her, and he wears a
- 1:42:24mask and his skin is like um, he's engulfed in flame. I'm assuming
- 1:42:32he's probably another one of mister Sensors little primeras. But he has a mask
- 1:42:39that holds back his powers. When you remove the mask, it unleash.
- 1:42:43She's a black hole continuing within his head, killing both the remaining X Men
- 1:42:47and the Sentinels. Funzies right, So the way to save your way to
- 1:42:57save the mutant race, right, Well, I mean they thought they take
- 1:43:00them out. I guess they assume the black hole would take more than just
- 1:43:03them and the Sentinels out. But nonetheless, they all die, or at
- 1:43:10least a good jocolin die. Meanwhile, Apocalypse leaves war and famine, which,
- 1:43:14of course war is wolverine and famine. And this one is krokoa krokoa
- 1:43:21itself or a Crocoa as a human as a humanoid vessel fun fact so War
- 1:43:30and Famine where the Apocalypse go into an old machine data bank in order to
- 1:43:36retrieve any information the Information Crystal. They succeed in finding it, but are
- 1:43:42intercepted by Nimrod. Famine opens up a portal for them to retreat through an
- 1:43:47Apocalypse stays behind to buy them time. Warm and Famine escape with Apocalypse said
- 1:43:54being subdued to Nimrod. So're coming to Nimrod back in the safety of Asteroid
- 1:44:00K. Wolverine releases Mother Acaba, which is immutant that they've mentioned before.
- 1:44:10That's a I guess an important mutant to them, and they're like, whose
- 1:44:13mother Acaba. It's Moira where I'm attackered. She survived during this whole thing.
- 1:44:18This timeline seems to be connected to the one where she where she sided
- 1:44:25with Apocalypse. It seems it looks like anyway, because she's kind of given
- 1:44:30the Bible like when she looked like when she joined Apocalypse during that one life.
- 1:44:34So she is with them. She's Mother Acaba from her stasis. He
- 1:44:45presents her with the Information Crystal, force feeding the information into her mind.
- 1:44:48As per Apocalypse request with Moira's consent, Moira kills it's killed by Wolverine in
- 1:44:56order to restart her life again. That's or she died in the Apocalypse lifetime
- 1:45:01where she joined him. Is that she was given the information Crystal, then
- 1:45:05she died, not aren't with the knowledge of exactly when in time Nimrod emerges,
- 1:45:12So she has an information when she goes onto the next life, which
- 1:45:16is the current life she has, so she has the information now. So
- 1:45:19that's where we're so this kind of building up. Oh, okay, she
- 1:45:24has a plan because she knows exactly when Nimrod's want to come about, and
- 1:45:28she can use that to make sure that humanity or the humanity can't do that
- 1:45:31as well as the mutants won't suffer to Nimrod and then are sentinels, which
- 1:45:35is why they're going to the Mother Mold because of that information they have at
- 1:45:41the end of Power of X issue three. So I think this is a
- 1:45:50good stopping point for this for part one as of right now. Part two
- 1:45:57will probably will we will talk about the rest of it issues four of House
- 1:46:03of X, Power of X five and six, finishing out the series.
- 1:46:10Ladies and gentle I know this is a lot, because it is, but
