Eventually she had the entire "Phoenix" event which took us through phoenix rising, phoenix saga, and dark phoenix saga before putting us into some weird twist where it wasn't "really" jean grey the entire time, but some clone or replicant...
Jean Grey. Marvel Girl. Phoenix. She started off as a telekinetic. She started learning how to use Telepathy over time, which one theory suggests it just rubbed off on her from Professor Xavier, but she became a strong telepath too.
Overall this is one of the characters that I wish Marvel had treated better, but overall I love the character and I've loved watching him grow over the years. Amazing and well written, extremely nuanced with a great personality and a love f...
Angel. To me was one of the most tragic characters. He starts off as one of my favorites. There have been times where he was near death, injured, kidnapped multiple times, lost everything multiple times... then let's not even get started ab...
Watching him go through so many transitions from being human, to turning into the beast he's known for and colored fur, to changing colors again, all the way back to a brief switch to human again, in X-Factor, overall watching him grow and...
Beast. Beast started off in the 1960's as a goon. A gangster. He talked like one, acted like one. But quickly he was redeveloped as a super intelligent person that studied calculus and knew more than most people, and was switched from gangt...
Watching him grow from that, to a gay omega level mutant was quite a trip. I remember during his mini-series when he first started realizing it was time to grow up and get more serious about life. Watching him grow and evolve as a character...
Iceman of the 1960's was MUCH DIFFERENT than the Iceman we know today. Back then he wasn't gay, and he wasn't an Omega level mutant. He was a kid and barely knew how to use his powers. He cut up and messed around more than he was serious.
Cyclops, he was the leader of the X-Men most of the time, then later X-Factor, then X-Men again (or a portion of them). Amazing character with a lot of depth. His relationship with Jean Grey (and all the twists and turns) were always a fun...
Overall I love the character. He was extremely deep and he grew over the years, at times he was with the X-Men and at times he was away on various trips, or disappeared for various reasons. But he'll always be the original. The first of wha...
He was alone, depressed a lot of the time, a recluse. He fell into manic episodes and insanity a few times, and did some crazy stuff. But overall he was an extremely nuanced character. At one point he professed his love for his student Jean...
Later Charles Xavier ended up being played by Patrick Stewart, and that's who basically ended up being him throughout his career. Amazing pick and an amazing actor. But back tot he old character, he was a great character but he had a dark s...
Professor Xavier was the original "leader" of the X-men. The one that created them, and it was his vision that powered them. Great character, extremely powerful and watching him change and grow over the years was an amazing experience.
Let's talk original X-Men (1960's run). Professor X, Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Angel and Jean Grey. Coming from perspective of someone who knows the entire character history from beginning to end. I want to focus on talking about these core c...
Also, a few side notes. RIP Dom. And Marcus is a badass (love the character). I liked all the Gears of War games, but I really loved 5 because I loved seeing the relationship and interaction between Marcus and his son, and how it played out...
If they do it right, the way I think we are all hoping, we'll finally get to deeply explore the origins of the original Locust War and see a lot more about where it all started.
There STILL isn't an official release date, but from what the industry looks like I feel it's going to be somewhere between this year, and early next year. Also, they are using Unreal Engine for it, which is going to be very interesting to...
Gears of War: E Day. A prequel, set 14 years before the events of the original game. They're finally going back in the past, and taking a look at what happened before. And so far it looks amazing, for it being one of their smaller projects....
