Agent X was remarkably solid all things considered.

No, it was six really good issues by Gail Simone. A few fill in issues (including two which were a sort of Bill and Ted crossover that really screwed all the character arcs of the main cast.)
Then Gail Simone came back to finish the series and explain the plot. That was also good.

Then later Agent X got hit with a weapon that made him permanently fat because that is funny. Or something.

Wasn't that one that he got murdered super hard but some of his blood landed on the magic crystal nearby, and it was still full of live cells, so that counted as "Wolverine touched it first" and he was restored?

No, he was getting his heart (and probably other organs) ripped out when that happened, in the classic X-Men Annual number I-don't-remember, drawn by Alan Davis. :allears:

I love how after this Wolverine has godlike power and consiousness. And decides to give it all up, because he is just a hard working, salt of the Earth type he has a difficult enough time being a man, let alone a god.

It ends with a weeaboo jerkoff panel of Wolverine at some samurai altar he's got set up in his room at the X-mansion.

So, this is all a blatant Watchmen reference/homage/ripoff, right? That entire reconstruction sequence plus the pose he makes and then this godlike powers thing

This was during Grant Morrison's run on XMen, but I think Jean pulled him into the White Hot Room instead of him dying or something.

Wolverine killed Jean shortly before they would have been killed by the sun, which made her go all-out Phoenix and she flew them both back to Earth.

Yeah, that's one time where he regenerated completely from being "destroyed". I remember that issue because I think it was the first time I saw Art Adams' work.

I also remember it because the ending is "Wolverine becomes God, decides he's not worthy, but everyone still points out how he's the best for resisting the temptation".

The problem with using hair as an identifier is that in each story the characters have different hair styles which were sent in by readers of the comic. So, is it supposed to be that way or is it different? Which just makes things even more confusing.

My favourite part of this is Wolverine of all people giving a straight faced scientific explanation for what happened, and then adding 'Bub' at the end because he's just remembered that he's Wolverine and not Reed Richards.

I think it's important to point out that the whole bit with Horde is basically a dream sequence, so it's not quite as crazy as it looks. I've seen a lot of people take those panels out of context.

Wrong. There is a pocket dimension full of accidental Wolverines perpetually fighting among themselves, thus creating even more Wolverines. The new Wolverine is the one who manages to escape.

Watchmen came out in 1986/87; Uncanny X-Men Annual #11 was dated 1987. I'm going to guess probably not.

I like how no one remembers that 9/11 wasn't the first time terrorists tried to blow up the WTC, so there's a bunch of people who think 90's references to the first attempt are proof of the illuminati.

I forget what film I watched last year but a plane crashed into a building and the people I was with would not shut up about 9/11. And the film was from the 90's.
