It would take a real x-pert to know who these characters are. whatculture.com/comics/10-mos.... For more awesome content, check out: whatculture.com/ Follow us on Facebook at: / whatculture Catch us on Twitter: / wc_comics
Marrow was made in the 80s I thought or early 90s. The original X Team was 60s though. X Men is great, they ran out of ideas so “they born with super powers” and made the mutants represent all social screw ups in our world to the super hero genre. Good work Stan, awesome legacy for sure.
spikes big arc in x-man evolution was pretty much marrow's big story line. I liked spike but I don't know why they changed marrow as a character so much, like marrow is a way cooler moniker if they wanted they could have kept the character as a female and it would have made more sense since females put more value on their looks than males not sure why they chose to change both the character's race and gender. Marrow was actually in a video game too, I think it was called X-men Vs Capcom, one of the early fighting games before Marvel Vs Capcom I think.
@@heinousrat9019 they change characters race all the time ; rogue was supposed to be black but they changed her look . 🥴 i don’t think it was that large of a deal to speak about the change of race when they do it all the time in tv adaptations . jinx from dc comics for example is a black woman but on tv , she was an emo looking , non colored individual
Anyone who read the original Exiles run got to see Blink properly showcased, or at least an older alternate universe version of her in the form of a veteran resistance fighter from an Age of Apocalypse timeline who really highlighted the incredible versatility of her odd teleportation powers. In particular those pink shards of hers which were essentially forced teleporting energy blasts allowing her to dump her opponents all over the battlefield into containment cells, or right in front of incoming fire, and in one case just teleporting the Hulk a few miles straight up into the stratosphere to give the team time to come up with a plan to deal with him before he hit the ground.
What I like about the X-men is how vulnerable the characters are towards becoming good or bad. They are very human in that regard, and depending on who they end up forming a strong enough relationship with, dictates which side they end up fighting for. So there’s really no inherently bad characters. Just ones who were led astray.
@@Pharaonixx To be honest I know jack about sage. Dawn of X really brought me back into X Men comics after a long while. It helps that Dawn of X isn't weighed down by to much back story where I feel lost. Btw when did Krakoa come back to life? That is the only thing I'm not clear on. Everyone else who was dead and returned is explained by the whole Krakoa pod people resurrection thing.
Given that I read X-men mostly from Jim Lee's to 2010, I really love those characters whom each have had their small time to shine. Marrow was one of my favorite because she had some development for morlock to x-woman (more interesting than, say, Maggot). I like Stacy X and Monica Reyes but nobody knew how to write them and utilize their powers. I guess American readers were put off by sex and pheromones manipulation in the case of Stacy X.
I don't think M gets enough credit. They're 5 of the most powerful and intelligent mutants in Marvel when they're all combined and their/her power is basically to be the perfect hero.
I know you addressed it in the intro, but I reserve the right to state that I knew about all of these characters. 10 *Sage* (like a good amount of mutants) has become more important since the HoX/PoX mini-series. She helps run the gateways to and from Krakoa, and is the all around information gatherer for Krakoa. She's also part of the newest iteration of X-Force. 5 *Quentin Quire* is currently "starring" in the newest X-Force title, alongside Wolverine, Domino, Beast. Marvel Girl, and Sage.
She was a great fighter and very fast. The way she said 'see ya' and grunts when she attacks made her seem like a cool character and so fitting as a morlock. The morlocks are cool.
@@sexymommakat For Real,right!!!Remember Cable and Warpath were doing security at a Lila Cheny concert??Boom..Marrow shows up and tries to dismember Cable,wild stuff!!!
@@davidjones3165 Yeah, but that was Blink from Age of Apocalypse, the 616 universe Blink mentioned in the video seemingly died during the Phalanx Covenant story line, and was brought back by Selene in the same story Warpath was brought back.
I will agree that Thunderbird 3 is fairly obscure (though not unheard of), but the rest are all a lot more common. My list of obscure (though admittedly not unheard of X-Men) 10. Slipstream 9. Lifeguard 8. Box 7. ForgetMeNot 6. Omerta 5. Choir 4. Bird-Brain 3. Wiz Kid 2. Freakshow 1. Wallflower
Blink actually first appeared in the X-Men Age of Apocalypse storyline, she also survives it's collapse. She ends up in her own series called the Exiles where she travels to alternate marvel universes
As a proud X-Nerd, I knew them all. LOL. But I only like a few of them. Now HERE'S some vague X-characters: Maggott, Random, Wraith (Hector Rendoza), and Paulie Provenzano
All of these are pretty well-known. Should have gone for characters like Feral, Hollow, Mercury, Honey Badger, Oya, Surge, Armor, Catseye, M, Husk, Rictor,
Blink was also in Days of Future Past. She made the fight scene at the beginning amazing to watch. Also you saying X-Man and Dr. Nemeses made me giggle
@@davidclark2540 I was commenting on the fact that the video was called X-Men "you have never heard of" and X-Man has an entire story arc named after him, which you don't have to 'read every comic' to know about. There are X-Men which are very much less known than X-Man. Him being a title character kind of belies the clickbaitiness of the title. I am just wondering if ones premise was actually to find X-Men others might not be aware of, then avoiding characters that have entire story arcs named after them would be a good start. Perhaps a better premise for the video would be "X-Men you have never heard of if you haven't read the comics." Or even "Popular X-Men you might not know" I like the video fine for what it is, and don't mean to be padantic but it's like listing a greatest hit in the deep cuts section. Anyway love you, and have a good day.
Sage is not "good at computer", she IS a computer... or her memory functions like a computer with endless memory space and extreme processing speed... she remembers everything she's ever lived, experiences, seen, heard, smelled, tasted, touched, done, etc... which means that she can read books or see martial arts movies and replicate the moves (she's extremely fit too)....
Maybe someone else already noticed this and commented, but did anyone else find it curious that they went out of their way to mention the events of Necrosha when talking about Warpath, but didn't mention that Blink was brought back in that same event? They're talking about her like she is still dead. Also feels like a miss not mentioning her AoA counterpart, who was much longer written about and more popular.
Also, she's effectively a living, biological computer as a good portion of her power. The unlocking other mutant powers felt tacked on and I keep forgetting the psionic ability myself.
I knew about the Mutant [BLINK] from the XBOX GAME (X-MEN Day of APOCALYPSE) And I knew about the Mutant [Marrow] from the XBOX GAME (MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2)
How could you not include my favorite X-Men member of all time. Xorn!!! He gets no love and his back story is legit. His brother is also next level. Xorn is ahead of his time. He needs to be fighting cosmic threats being he has a star for a head.
I accidentally drew a character from my own imagination named marrow with exactly the same power executed he was a dude before I even knew about x-men's version.....
jesterzkourt marrow is just a ripoff os kimmimaro plain and simple it’s the exact same story. Abandoned child found by crazy master (brainwashed) uses bones as special ability I understand this is about Xman I am just pointing out the obvious theft of a character from a Japanese manga 😜😜😜😜😜
Blink and Warpath? Really? Why would you put two of the first people you see in the Xmen Days of Future Past on this list? Put Beak or Glob Herman ovet these two better known members.
i know both of them and Glob as become more well known after the last few years being a mainstay when the xmen was in limbo and bk when they was in new york and in the old man logan series as he and old man logan bonded a friendship.
Quentin quire did appear afterwards, he joined west coast avengers: hawkeye(cling), hawkeye(kate), gwenpool, quentin, america chavez, and two other ppl.
Now that you think about it,as I could remember a scene in Deadpool 1 where Wade Wilson enters the place he gets transformed(I can't remember the name) it shows a shot of somebody with spikes on his/her back.To make it shorter the one that I'm talking about here is marrow maybe we already saw her existence at Deadpool without even noticing it
