Deadpool
Deadpool is the movie we watched this week. Listen in to learn more about these characters from the comics as well as what we thought of the movie. This one’s a bit of a controversy!

Show Notes
In the movie, it is suggested that Deadpool has latent mutant powers. There is no where from the comics. In the comics, Deadpool gets his abilities from Wolverine.

Vanessa is also from the comics, as the mutant Copycat.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Vanessa_Carlysle_(Earth-616)
And, yes, Blind Al is from the comics too.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Blind_Al_(Althea)_(Earth-616)
Apparently, Deadpool is “inspired” from Spider-man, even though he has a lot of similarities with DC’s Deathstroke.

Ajax is from the comics, but no one cares.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Francis_Fanny_(Earth-616)
The same with Angel Dust.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Angel_Dust_(Christine)_(Earth-616)
There is some confusion about which timeline this movie takes place in. I think it’s an alternative version of the Singer X-Men. But, maybe not.

It’s not how the “Fatal Attractions” story ended in the comics, but it was sort of close.

As for the ending, yeah, that was Apocalypse.

X-Men ’97! Tolerance is Extinction - Part 2 (S1E9) Wolverine, Magneto, Professor X
Whelp, we figured the showdown between Professor X and Magneto would be bad, but not THIS BAD! The penultimate episode of X-Men ’97 was the craziest one yet. Will the show be able to stick the landing next week? Find out what we think on this episode of the Super Sideshow podcast!

Show Notes
Magneto rips out Wolverine’s adamantium, and it was almost exactly like it happened in the comics.
https://screenrant.com/x-men-97-wolverine-adamantium-stripped/
All this takes place in the Fatal Attractions story line, back in 1993.

We’re sort of over Mr. Sinister.
https://x-men.fandom.com/wiki/Mr._Sinister
The Jean Grey/Cable relationship is one that needs to be explored more.

X-Men ’97! Tolerance is Extinction - Part 1 (S1E8) Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Prime Sentinels
Do you want to see Wolverine and Nightcrawler slash up a bunch of Prime Sentinels? How about Cable, Jean Grey, and Cyclops jump out a plane in a Porsche and then plow through a mountain? What about social commentary about immigration and birth rates? We got that all here and more in this episode of the Super Sideshow podcast! Plus Jay uses the wrong microphone for recording!

Show Notes
Yes, Nightcrawler fights with three swords. It’s awesome.
https://www.cbr.com/x-men-nightcrawler-sword-swashbuckler-debut/
The relationship between Cable, Jean and Scott is complicated in the comics and in this episode as well.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Nathan_Summers_(Earth-616)
I can’t tell you all the cameos I saw in this episode. Dr. Doom. Baron Zemo. Omega Red. Spider-man. There was a lot.

The show is very smartly written, discussing modern issues that we are dealing with in real life.

X-Men ’97! Bright Eyes (S1E7) Captain America, Cable, Bastion
We’re coming closer and closer to the season finale. We finally know who the Big Bad is. Captain America shows up? Rogue shows off? And Cable shows up. Just another day with our dysfunctional mutant family on this episode of Super Sideshow podcast.
Follow. Subscribe. Rate. Review. Thumbs up. Give us all the Stars!
Show Notes
Bastion is complicated. Basically, he’s the merging of Nimrod, a super sentinel from the future, and Mother Mold, a sentinel that gives birth to other sentinels. Hey, you asked!
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Sebastion_Gilberti_(Earth-616)
Rogue got her powers from Carol Danvers, by the way.
https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/the-tragic-history-between-carol-danvers-and-rogue
And Rogue and Nightcrawler are brother and sister. Kind of. And Mystique is their mother. Sort of.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Anna_Marie_Raven_(Earth-161)
Is this all setting up for Avengers vs. X-men? I hope so!

X-Men ’97! Lifedeath 2. (S1E6) Shi’ar, Storm & Forge, Professor X
After the amazing X-Men '97 episode last week, this one wasn’t as insane, but we get great character development for Storm and the re-introduction of Professor X! What will his return mean for the X-Men? Find out in this episode of the Super SideShow podcast!

Show Notes
Yes, Storm is claustrophobic, which this episode did a good job of highlighting.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Ororo_Munroe_(Earth-616)
The Adversary is from the comics!
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Adversary_(Earth-616)
Looks like we are going to get Charles Xavier back!
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Charles_Xavier_(Earth-616)
The Shi’ar and the Kree were a big part of this episode, and contributed more to the history of the Marvel universe. Nice that this show is showing all angles from the comics, especially the Cosmic ones.
https://www.cbr.com/marvel-comics-largest-empires/
From the title montage, we got some hints that Nimrod could be coming, which will be real bad for the X-men.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Nimrod_(Earth-811)
The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is Sagittarius A*. It deserves a better name.
