Avengers vs. x-men
[Music]
the crossover event that led up to the
Marvel now relaunch Avengers vs. x-men
significantly shook up the Marvel
Universe with the Phoenix force
returning to Earth Cyclops and Captain
America disagree on how best to protect
its most likely host hope summers when
hope escapes protective custody
both teams try to search for her each
with their own intentions on what to do
with her once she’s been found or if the
Phoenix force gets to it first
this pits the two pillars of the x-men
universe up against each other
ultimately reshaping these teams as the
result of the conflict and leading to
creation of the mutant Avengers unity
force the uncanny Avengers by the way if
you’re Logan I’m your backup I’m Captain
America really I never would have
guessed number 9 Messiah Complex
[Music]
after the events of house of M many
believed the mutants and the x-gene were
coming to an end in the Marvel Universe
when the child is born containing the X
gene that debt was laid to rest as the
x-men raced to secure the child from
other mutants and Aunty mutant groups a
number of moons are killed in the
conflict the baby would turn out to be
Hope Summers who is sent to the future
with table to ensure her safety of
course it’s never quite that simple the
event is a turning point in the x-men
mythology and determine the events of
many future storylines and a number of
x-men titles freaks I’ll show you how to
stand up nothing
number eight siege the governmental
defense agency known as shield has been
disbanded
and Norman Osborn has been given control
of its replacement hammer meanwhile the
city of Asgard home to the Norse gods
has been transported to earth and Osborn
being manipulated by Loki sees its
present there as a threat to his power
under the guise of national security
Osborn alongside his Dark Avengers calls
Byrne invasion of Asgard and resulting
battle is one of the most intense and
epic in Marvel history you know what’s
coming I do not wish to fight you Loki
once we were brothers we were friends
this prompts the return of Captain
America and the real Avengers who defeat
Osborn and expose his madness to the
world the events of siege set up with
now known as Marvel’s heroic age come
you have much to number seven onslaught
when Professor X shuts down Magneto’s
mind after one of their more savage
battles little did he know that part of
Magneto’s consciousness had seeded
within his own this led to the creation
of one of Marvel’s lesser known get more
interesting villain onslaught combining
Xavier desire for peace with Magneto’s
willingness to use violence to achieve
his goal onslaught took on the form of
an enormous suit of armor resembling
Magneto and took down those who opposed
him with relative ease onslaught was so
powerful it took the combined efforts of
the Fantastic Four the x-men and the
Avengers to defeat him making him a
memorable and formidable villain for the
Marvel Universe number 6 Secret Invasion
it won’t be long man can you feel it I
know you do
the Illuminati consisting of such euros
is Iron Man mr. fantastic and Professor
X assembled to face the Skrulls head-on
to prevent any further attacks on earth
just wait we can figure this out
everyone just defend Wakanda
their plan failed miserably resulting in
their capture
having been studied during their time as
scroll prisoners the aliens are able to
pose as heroes when they return to earth
combining elements of classic sci-fi
alien invasion with the superhero genre
this crossover has the paranoia of an
alien body snatchers though with the
action-packed storytelling of a
superhero comic Ross is right this is
crazy I’ve saved this team more times
than I could count I’ve helped save the
world I’m not some alien Hawkeye Clint I
need you to come with me it’s also
definitely unique and could only have
come from the mind of writer Brian
Michael Bendis this is a world it was
promised to us as it is written in the
scroll prophecies we were only taking
what’s ours who else who else is a
scroll and where are they we are
everywhere you will see number five
secret Wars one you have been chosen
chosen for what for the ultimate test of
good against evil a cosmic being known
as the Beyonder creates the planets
battle world and teleports Earth’s
Mightiest Heroes as well as some of its
mightiest villains to square off for the
prize of wealth whatever they want
hold on hothead
gosh basically the Beyonder promises the
victors some wishes which considering he
can create planets at will is kind of a
good deal while it was technically
conceived as a way to sell toys the
events of secret Wars continued to shape
the events of Marvel’s universe to this
day most notably the first appearance of
spider-man’s black suit and you know how
that turns out the events later got a
sequel in 2015 but Secret Wars – failed
to live up to the original story
gentlemen can I use the term loosely
stop right there
number four Infinity Gauntlet
you’re not even born is walking cap like
it or not time to pull the trigger on
our contingency plan Thanos managed to
collect all six infinity gems granting
him control over time-space mind soul
reality and power with the snap of his
fingers
Thanos eliminates half of all living
things in the universe the surviving
heroes of Earth attempt to take on the
all-powerful Titan but they’re easily
defeated luckily for our heroes nebula
is able to remove the gauntlet from
Thanos and use it to reverse all the
damage he’d inflicted on the universe
Thanos is a formidable foe unlike any
other in Marvel Comics and this
crossover demonstrates what he’s capable
of when he’s handed control over every
aspect of the multiverse
number three civil war whose putting
coffee grounds in the disposal my rendom
bed and breakfast for the biker gang
after a group of young heroes known as
the new warriors accidentally caused the
death of six hundred innocent people
while filming a TV reality show the US
government introduces the superhuman
Registration Act the Act would force
super-powered individuals to register
their identities with the government
Ironman thinks this is a pretty good
idea Captain America does not I don’t
mean to make things difficult I know
because you’re a third select versus the
Marvel Universe is split down the middle
as cap leads the rebellious heroes
against Iron Man’s pro-government squad
heroes fighting heroes is nothing new in
the world of comics but civil war played
on pre-existing ideological differences
between these characters making for a
unique take on an overused genre trope
[Music]

himself from existence creating a new
timeline in which apocalypse has brought
about well the apocalypse
this timelines version of the x-men led
by magneto rebel against apocalypse to

of Apocalypse is as memorable as its
maniacal villain before we unveil our
topic here a few honorable mentions

Bendis is eight part masterpiece
