Issue 25 of Exiles was set on a world where Tony Stark had killed virtually everyone, was the ruler of earth and trying to capture the Inhumans to breed a race of supermen who could conquer the galaxy. He's with Sue Storm in that world, and talks through frowns and props:

Tasteful Dickpic posted:The Wesley Gibson wiki page is amazingly terribly written. Go read it, you'll have fun. An excerpt: Reading that whole mess then getting down to "Wesley's appearance is modelled on the rapper Eminem." gave me a solid belly laugh.

Skwirl posted:Yeah, people have unironically argued for concentration camps for people with AIDS, along with religious right nutjobs saying AIDS is God's punishment for homosexuality. Yeah, pretty much pick a right winger from the 80's and you'll find those comments. Of course they were at the same time staunchly defending Apartheid, so hey, mutants get to be metaphors for lots of things. Speaking of, here's Cyclops and Havok wrasslin' from X-tinction Agenda, when Genosha was enslaving and getting all concentration camp-y with the Mutants from that era (I think this is where Havok ended up after going through the Seige Perilous?)

Zombie Dachshund posted:They are ridiculously, hilariously overmuscled. But maybe that's just the 90s. Yeah, it was a 90's thing. I remember saving off those two pages because for the past like twenty years Wolverine had been calling Cyclops "slim" and then the 90's happened or I guess maybe Scott took the whole "wife was a clone who became a demon thing" awfully hard and hit the gym like every other mid 30's divorcee.

SonicRulez posted:Ultimatum is the one where The Blob eats Janet at some point, right? Yeah, I had only heard people complain about it for years so I just read the first two issues and it's quite frankly one of the worst written books, terribly paced, difficult to tell what's going on, and has death after death occur for no reason with no tension or reason. It's just trash. Like 3 pages after Blob is eating Janet, it just cuts to a random scene between Xavier and Magneto where Xavier calls him worse then pol pot or hitler then Magneto leans over and snaps his neck. and now to start issue 3 We just get a random list of like a dozen random heroes who died, and now everyone's just shooting hundreds of Madrox clone suicide bombers, I quit.

Samuringa posted:Looks cool but I have no idea what happened. Alita challenges the reigning Motorball champion for martial arts reasons, and he accepts, but requires that she form a team of five to face him because he's so transcendent he requires a massive handicap. She forms a team of all the notable people from her last race, and at the beginning of their match the champion just effortlessly obliterates her team. As you said, it's a rad sequence but manga tends to fail without the context The first guy there with the razor whips is a pretty goofy character who is very 90's comic badass:

Skwirl posted:It's varied quite a bit. Without his glasses it's sometime a beam from his eyeballs and sometimes everything in the front 170ish degrees in front of him is hosed. Sometimes he'd also lift his sunglasses and cheat at pool. Gotta love that early Claremont era where part of Cyclops' mutant power was being good at math. The least badass thing possible.

Jubilee, drunk on power, that sound her power makes from the 90's cartoon deafening pierced by screams as she mows down anti-mutant demonstrators. "Happy 4th of July" she mutters through a punisher like grimace.

Skwirl posted:Prior to Gen X, in New Mutants she was running a rival school for young mutants. They were basically the mutant equivalent of the Cobra Kai, but it was an actual school. And look how that ended. Her team gets wiped out by mutant hunting killbots. Put down those text books and get back to the paramilitary training nerds. Man, I'm shitposting and realize that's exactly what Cable did to the New Mutants when he showed up.

Thinking about the Mutant Liberation Front reminded me of the most proto-Image comics rear end team from that era of X-men comics. Apocalypse's Dark Riders:  I have no idea if they ever showed up outside of as quickly dispatched cannon fodder during the X-cutioner's Song crossover, but seriously, look at these guys, you can practically smell the Chrome Variant Cover bagged with trading card.

Yeah! The Nasty Boys had a few interesting appearances, like that early X-Factor run where they mostly just sat around slumming in an apartment. And Magneto's Acolyte's put in some good work too that I can remember. Now, the Upstarts, woooooof. My run of reading comics as a kid pretty much started with the glory days of the X-teams facing off against the likes of the Hellions, Technet, Freedom Force, Marauders and Reavers and ended with the Upstarts killing off most of the Hellions and Reavers. womp womp.

yeah, one of the early arcs in Excalibur was about her taking time away to go to a boarding school that had her intimidate some bullies with her ninja moves. Then it turns out she had to become a cheerleader and she and the bullies had to defeat Fenris to save the school? Probably not worth revisiting come to think about it.

The best Hulk is chad Hulk when he was Bruce's idealized version of himself and allied with an anti-American revolutionary force fighting against-Fictional Middle Eastern country. From that bit in Peter David's Hulk / X-Factor crossover, this is probably from Hulk 391-ish, and was so very 90's
