Powers of X: Apocaplypse VS Nimrod (Issues 1-3) 

The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse in this reality is original Wolverine as War, original Xorn as Death, a hybrid clone of Polaris and Emma Frost as Pestilence and Cypher who created a symbiotic bond with Krakoa as Famine. Just to clarify some things.

X-men is so complex Jumping back and forth between times

Can you do Nimrod explain or the history of Nimrod

I love it! I love how Hickman has created a form of time travel that requires a person/mutant instead of a machine. Also showing what many of us knew that if Magneto and Professor X worked together, the mutant race stood a much better chance of surviving.

The one time Im rooting for Apocalypse he gets his ass whooped. Lol

As a lifelong fan of the X-men, 44 years, I think this is an amazing story and have a lot of hope for the future of X titles!

'You are no Closer than the Babylonians, with their swords and fire sticks, HaHa" That quote matters more now that ever.

That’s not groot.... krakoa and the guy that was helping Learn his language merged

These two stories sound awsome, can't wait for the series to be completed so i can buy the paperback.

Should I be afraid that I don't see any ad's?

"we'll call him 'groot'?" That was Krakoa. Didn't you read the things you told us to read?

Who else likes rasputin and cardinal's design and personality.

I actually haven't heard of such a good X-men story in a long time. I'm beyond impressed and I hope that this trend continues

This RU-vid channel is highly underrated

*HIS NAME IS NOT GROOT* It's Krakoa. It said so in the book.

Dude, you have talent for bringing all this to life, thanks Bro!!!!!!! I always liked this chanel and always will!!!!

Damn, man... this sounds *dope!* Yeah, I'm going to have to cop these when the series is completed.

You guys keep your explanations really simple! Will you do a video on the data pages?

That thing you keep calling groot it's actually Cipher

Great vid as always

Dude this new X-men run is exciting

Is it just me, or does it seem like the new Charles Xavier is like Reed Richards when he became The Maker?

Dude I got all of the books and I read the details in-between the stories twice because there is so much info and lore that updates you on what's going on and what's the state of the world during set time frame

Great video my homie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the deep dives in the issues. Hickman sounds like he is really bring something new to these titles. I am going to start checking these out now.

One of the biggest things that Hickman’s House of X and Powers of X has brought to the table is that any X-Men story that has ever been written by Marvel could have taken place in any of the ten lifetimes that Moira lived in. That any interaction where it was strictly mutants interacting with mutants in an X-related title could have happened in any of those timelines. Thus freeing creators from the need of continuity for Marvel’s 80 years to tell an excellent X-Men story. Stories that don’t quite fit the Earth 616 narrative can just be played off as alternate timelines from Moira’s lives. This both breaks and fixes continuity in multiple ways and makes way for some very creative storytelling by anyone who is on a mutant related title. This could explain away how Hickman says only two years have passed since the Morrison told story lines occurred.

Thanks for the breakdown. I find power's tough to follow. This cleared up a lot

So a mutant with adaptive powers, incalculable strength, shape shifting, telekinesis, size manipulation, telepathy, self molecular manipulation, super speed, teleportation, insane levels of energy manipulation, high speed regenerative powers, flight, a vast intellect, thousands of years of experience, Celestial knowledge, tech and upgrades got mollywhopped by Nimrod? It's normal for Apocalypse to lose fights. It's what he's always been written to do despite his power set one of the most insane of any Marvel character. However, that's just crazy how strong Nimrod is. Short of abstracts and reality manipulators, Nimrod would have to be one of the strongest beings in existence at that point. But who's to say that Nimrod wouldn't just adapt to them as well. Nimrod's adaptive abilities aren't limited to just mutant powers. Nimrod out power adapted a power adapter. That's just crazy Just once though, can Apocalypse be written like Thanos? He was stopped or "killed" (how do you truly kill an immortal who can change his molecular structure at will) in AoA and every other story that I can think of right now. Yeah Thanos was always stopped too but people at least worry when he shows up. Apocalypse shows up and people just seem to act like he's fodder. Might as well change Apocalypse's name to Worf.

Why no one is asking how the hell charles xavier walking, 😂

The green Magneto look alike is a chimera based on Polaris X gene and the groot look alike is a merger between Cypher and Krakoa.

I looooove them! But, it so much damn craziness and information!

Unbelievably Great! Been reading X-men since Uncanny #200 and this is so refreshingly new and original

This is a great story!

2:54 "so he just uses his power to take the drive" - Yeah am i missing something here cus HOW did he take that drive exactly? Charles is a telepath and not a telekinetic right so how did that drive just fly towards him?

I just started to get these book looking forward to reading them all at once

You can tell me whatever you want but evil Reed aka The Maker was the Inspo for Charles new look

This is great

2:34 that close up of Magneto super looks like David Bowie.. Just me?!

I really like your videos man🙊🙏

Hey Varient Comics, can you guys do an episode about what inspired creaters to create their comic characters?

Wow. That was great

I hear chimera & I think of the Full Metal Alchemist

I’ve been watching a ton of these videos on the new X series! Damn it’s good

Love em!

whoa! This is interesting. Good story.

I'm loving it.!

Variant Comics can you do a History of The Powerpuff Girls.

Did you ever finish this series? I was looking for the others videos and i have had no luck finding it..... 😔😔

And I am so glad they gave Scott or Scott clone a sweet costume/uniform. It’s a nice mix of old and new.

Arris please do the history of Mr Sinister!

Wow that storyline is crazy

@11:02 reminds me more of Proxy Midnight to me...

I have been a X-men fan since the 1980's as X-Men was the first comic EVER to show a possible timeline where heroes didn't win always and popular & famous mutants were killed...this brought me to the dark side of comics...and I've been there ever since.This storyline has the chance to rival one of the greatest storylines "Days of Futures Past" dare i say even surpass it.I intend to follow this story to it's hopefully dark conclusion...as a long time X-Men fan it's my duty to...

He aint groot, hes krakoa in cypher body. Awesome video!

This would have been an amazing film adaptation

lol I love this story but let's be honest, this is dayz of future past with extra steps XD

Seems really cool

I love Jonathan Hickman's Marvel universe. It's just so incredible. Probably my favorite Marvel writer since Claremont...

They should make a movie on this ASAP .... That would be awesome

History of Crossbones History of Captain Cold History of Poison Ivy

Where are the reviews for the rest of HoX/PoX?

what happen to recap of issue 4-6?

The storyline for both titles is sheer genius

I also want a quick overview of Doomsday Clock if issue 12 comes out

versus video: elektra(black sky)vs nyssa al ghul.

love this run of the xmen i would love to see it adapted into a 4 part live action movie

when are you going to the podcast

Could you please do an origin or history of the comic book Preacher?

We need a movie for this story arc.

Wow Hickman is telling a huge epic story damn so excited. Can't wait to see what happens

You’re then man Arris Quinones

So Moira (if i am spelling that righr) Goes back in time so to speao when she dies back to her birth, then whenever she dies she enters a new timeline: and her working through several lives to help the mutants is not so much a to save them (from previous lives lived) but rather to eventually lead to a victory in the long run. Wich the other mutants know as well. So when wolverine kills her he knows that it probably wont end well for him, but eventually there will come a timeline when things will work out.

Pls give us a full summary of the comics when the series end

just read the whole hardcover, hope you could summarize the 4 up to 6.

Where and how can I read these comic books?

Are you going to do issues 4-6?

I retain nothing from those data sheets, read them 10 minutes later I've completely forgotten them

Nice vidd. I don't understand how people threw some thumbs down on it? Tru haters

Just a quick info, the wolverine-like mutant is the horseman of war and is actually the real wolverine (James howlett), Xorn is Xorn (these two, along with apocalypse, mother or Moira, and the late Percival, are the only pureblood mutants on Krakoa), The Magneto like man is Pestilence and is a 2nd gen chimera of Lorna Dane and Emma Frost called North, the tree guy is Cypher and Krakoa symbiosis. Cylobel, Percival, Cardinal (Priest), and Rasputin, are sort of henchmen. Cylobel is a deviated Hound and a black brain (meaning her mind is unreadable, perfect for undetectable recon and infiltration) telepath. Both Cardinal and Rasputin are 3rd gen chimeras but Cardinal is the failure one. Then if you continue to read the info panel, you'll see Mother or Akkaba, this is most likely Moira.

If he opened a gateway I’m pretty sure that’s Man-Thing and not Groot😅

it's not Groot it's Cypher+Krakoa, like Cypher merged with Warlock

Waiting Xmen, but always hard to wait

Please correct the typo "apocalypse"

If I all can just be made into a series of movies!!

Liking the Phalanx design!

I'm new to X-Men comics anyone got any suggestions on issues I should read?

Charles with telekinesis woah

Damn i was hoping the Apocalypse fight scene would have been better

Got damn this and House of X sure are brain twisters...just all the timeline jumping. Not too confusing to follow; one jus realllly has to pay attention and, possibly, re-read a little bit to avoid getting lost. Really loved it all tho, great stories!

13:33 she can choose which time period she comes back in?

Sounds totally epic.

Anyone gonna mention the typo in the title?

big brain

Thanks for saving my pocket money every damn month 😍💚🔥

I've only managed to get ahold of Powers #1. Every comic shop within two hours of where I live has sold out. Even the second prints.

I asked this in the other video but no one responded so I'll try again here; are the characters in this story powerful enough to destroy the planet with the flick of their wrist or are they as strong as they are normally portrayed in the shows and movies?

4 to 6 of Power of X?

Is that thing on charles' head cerebro?

It’s now obvious that the Groot creature is Krakoa the island itself.

Make an episode about the origin of kid kaiju
