I’m not an avid comic reader, and I don’t know much beyond the basics and have read like what? A couple dozen comics at most (and the most mainstream at that)

But I’ve always wondered, what’s the point on having characters like Franklin in the series? An individual that can, quite literally, reform universes and be the ultimate powerful entity of the entire world? And I’m not trashing on the character, I mean I like him, but you can search for more and more and there is a lot of “universe ending, reality bending, end of the world type of powers” characters in the universe.

When it was just, idk wolverine with his immortality and claws, or cyclops or nightcrawler or this type of character it’s just people with super powers. It’s fun to see it and engaging.

But when it’s such a nutty power like franklin’s or others, it just feels like “what’s the point anymore” you know? I know he got sort of retconned, but I bet there’s other characters that have that impossible power on them too, like maybe Professor Manhattan?

Just wanted your opinions

Hi! In the past years I've been more and more interested in reading Marvel Comics, especially since I started rewatching the movies last year in the summer. Then this year with X-Men '97 and watching a lot of the movies for the X-Men, I got really interested in reading the comics, but I have no idea where to begin. For starters I would love to read about Wolverine and Nightcrawler, they grew really close to me after watching the movies and the show. I would also love to read about Angel and Cyclops, but maybe just later. Can anyone recommend me some comics, bind-ups or omnibuses to read about Logan and Kurt? I would love to read their introductions as well.

I saw a twitter post showing a few panels from Wolverine #4 where he says he used Magneto's helmet as a piss bucket, and that made me giggle so I really want to read that series. Problem is, that I have no idea when it came out, because when I searched Wolverine #4 a lot of different ones came up.

I'm sure a lot of people have asked similar questions, and I tried looking for ones but it's a little overwhelming, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I often think about Mystique saying she couldn’t give Rogue the love she deserved because half of her heart (Kurt) was lost vs. Gambit heart & soul making space specifically for Rogue his Wife in the center of his heart which shows the amount of LOVE & caring Gamy has for his Wife compared to that bastard Magneto I hate so so much could ever dream of having this amount of LOVE and will never come close to Gamy LOVE he has for Rogue. She wasn’t fully and truly loved by anyone at all including Mag until she met Remy-Lebeau her Husband....

Gillen is in my top 5 best X writers. I remember how he handled the crossovers and consequences of AVX, and just wow. That’s how I get through to that abomination of an event.

I haven't read the comics in years but I have been a fan of Selene since her introduction. Such an underused character. If anyone knows if there are any plans to use her in any upcoming properties I would love to know. Her sad and simple and completely non-characteristic addition to the X-Men film was dissapointing to say the least.

This scene epitomizes for me why it was so hard to root for Krakoa. With all the power-dampening widgets that various X-villains have had over the years, I can't believe that they couldn't just get Forge to whip up some kind of wearable device that lets Loa switch off her powers when she wants to. But no, that's taboo! Mutants must embrace their mutations, even when they're incredibly inconvenient or downright humiliating! In a way I suppose it's a bold narrative choice to have it so ambiguous as to whether the Krakoans are really "the good guys", but it certainly makes it hard to relate to when their society has this authoritarian, kind of racist determination to treat mutants as a monolith

Hi, I've been picking up some key issues, good covers, firsts of characters, good little runs of story...

I got God Loves Man Kills, the crucified Wolverine cover, some good annuals with a stand-alone story, some good artists that I like (Sienkiewicz, JoeMad, Pollina), a lot of limited serieses...

I'm curious to hear any recommendations of what I should pick up.

Should I get into Dazzler? Are there any great writers that I might not know? What are standouts that you have?

I started reading the X-Men Novel Trilogy Chaos engine. Going to be making notes for each chapter just to catch things or remember info. X-Men Chaos Engine Summaries:

When Cerebro identifies a new mutant's powers, how much information about them is revealed? Just location? What their powers are? Who they are?

Also, if a mutant has a visible mutation, such as wings, does Cerebro pick them up all the time?

I'm primarily a fan of the cartoons, working on an X-Men fanfiction, and realized that I had never really though about this or looked into it, and I'm having a hard time finding answers from other sites.

Is he the only x-man who doesn't wear an x as part of his costume? Any reason for this?
