I loved when in Marvel Heroes when they reworked the powers and added one for Colossus, they used a sound effect from the arcade game. Truly a classic co-op on par with the Simpsons and almost TMNT. Oh my god please tell me they made it his HWOAAAAARGH that overpowers every other sound in an arcade to the point where most arcades I've been in straight-up have the sound turned off on X-Men e: like, playing X-Men in silence kinda sucks but playing anything else with X-Men turned up sucks more because of the constant HWOAAAAARGH

A friend of mine helped get Revolution X in a local arcade, and they lowered the volume on that really quick. I myself could go for any amount of Colossus HWOAAAAARGH, it's beautiful. And speaking of that game, reminds me of Pryde of the X-Men. As fun as that is, and I love 80s cartoons, I'm sure glad that didn't get picked up, and we got the 1992 X-Men series. It's funny, Pryde felt more like a cartoon from 85, while being from 89, and it's wild how much presentation and style had changed by 92. Though having that cast from the great comics run is cool. Was great to see Colossus in those cameo roles in the 92 series, always need more of that guy. And he's having a bit of a renaissance on the big screen at the moment. Always label items in the refrigerator... Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Jun 3, 2018 |

It was YEARS before I actually accepted it was a thing that I actually saw instead of something I dreamed. I inherited my friend's dad's comics when we cleaned his attic and I was the one that got "stuck" with all the "X-Men and marvel crap" because everyone else wanted the DC stuff since it was the summer of '89 Batman. Joke is on them since I ended up with X-Men 100-112 and Iron Man 85 through about 100.

Pryde of the X-Men predicted an Australian Wolverine.

Pryde had Nightcrawler, making it the superior cartoon.

Pryde of the X-Men was an exercise in cognitive dissonance for me because all the X-Men were actually members of Cobra in disguise. The only one I remember is that Colossus was Destro. That was like, 25 years ago though, but that's how I remember it.

I'm pretty sure Emma Frost was the same voice as Hordak's witch in She-Ra.

Her solo series apparently made it that she has a real British accent because she had some kind of psychic battle with a British classmate and absorbed parts of her mind. Comics, man...

I just always had headcannon that Emma was completely manufactured, that everything about her was invented to make her seem more posh than she actually was.

She didn't get a proper backstory for like 25 years, just bits and pieces over the years before that.

That made me actually look them up to see and even the later ones where she's actually wearing some clothes still manage to look like they were airbrushed still frames from pornos.

Isn't that the series where she's a teenager in the actual comic? Part of Marvel's attempt to get teenage girls to buy comics? Can't imagine why no teen girls picked it up.

It was during the Bill Jemas era, so everyone knew exactly what they were thinking. Paraphrasing from Marvel : The Untold Story, but he pretty much said “all of our fans are dateless losers, so curling up in their parent’s basement with scantily clad comic book girls is the best they could hope for”

The Swimsuit special may have been a crash grab from the hormonal but the concept of just a simple art book was kind of cool.

I liked the story in the X-men Red annual, but the art. It looked like what you'd get on an airbrushed tshirt you got at a theme park.
