A Mandalorian, a secret agent, an 80s metalhead, and a chef are our new Fantastic 4. Also, H.E.R.B.I.E. seems to be a part of the team.

Previously, on X-Men.

There is a brewing controversy over Wolverine and who should be credited for his creation!

I found a 24 movie MCU set up to Black Widow.

So at some point I need to watch

Avengers 3 and 4
Hulk

I also own all 11 X movies so I need to watch them before
X Men joins MCU.

X-Men 97 was dope.

Is there a weird legal issue surrounding Crystar?

Despite the fact that Crystar is getting a much-anticipated Marvel Legends figure, Marvel doesn't have any articles on their official website and their comics database doesn't register The Saga of Crystar.

This seems odd, cause Marvel created Crystar and had Remco make the toys back in the ol' days.

If a Crystar figure is what brought the house down, why wouldn't Marvel advertise and digitally upload his story? There has to be a good reason.

Probably just forgot? I mean, he's quite obscure within Marvel, though the action figure release could be a nice introduction to those who haven't heard of him. Thankfully I don't think it's a legal issue as it seems that Marvel has full rights. And while we're on the subject, I kind of want a live action adaptation. :lolol
He doesn't need to be the star right away, just a cameo would be fine for starters. Something along the lines of Howard the Duck in the MCU.

Did Disney+ remove Marvel's 616 Documentary Series?

I searched and searched and couldn't find it anymore!

It seems like Marvel's 616 has indeed been removed from Disney+. I couldn’t find it on my end either.

Went to a local arcade the other day, and my friend noticed something.

The Konami X-Men machine had what was definitely a classic arcade roster, but instead of Jubilee or Jean it had...Dazzler!!! And she looked more like Jubilee than classic Dazzler to begin with.

I'm certain there's a reason for this, but I don't have a corresponding photo to verify what I saw.

The characters are from the pilot that was rejected called Pryde of the X-Men. It came out a few years before the X-Men:TAS and Dazzler was part of the crew. This was also the pilot that gave Wolverine an Australian accent and Frank Welker was Toad.

But why was Dazzler wearing a headband and a Jubilee-style jacket? None of this fits with the popstar-style renditions of classic Dazzler.

Disco came and went so they gave her something more 80s appropriate? :lolol

The headband is from the first version of Dazzler's blue costume. I assumed the jacket was, too, but I double-checked and it seems that's exclusive to the cartoon and video game. Not sure where that came from, especially since a) Jubilee didn't exist when this cartoon was in production and b) even if she did, everything else was based on the early 80s X-Men line up. Honestly, I'm just happy it wasn't that damn silver disco suit again. I don't know why artists keep insisting on bringing that back.

Watched Avengers 3 Infinity War and Avengers 4 End Game recently.

This could, technically, also fit within the confines of the "Power Rangers General Questions" thread, but it fits more in line with Marvel.

Just how many of the Mighty Morphin'/V.R. Troopers Flip Book issues were released? I have issues 1 & 4.

Was the Masked Rider comic spinoff that was teased in one of the issues even released?

Most hardcore "True Believers" know that each dimension/universe/Earth has its own unique numerical designation, even if said designation is little more than apocrypha on a good day. Even Battle Fever J has a designation! Does the aforementioned "Flip Book-verse" have such a designation?

Wow, did not know these were a thing by Marvel. How does the flipbook work? Do they have a short animation at the corner of the comic book?

It's a double-sided cover. One side is Power Rangers and the other is V.R. Troopers. Regardless of which cover you look at, the alternate side is advertised at the top (so you won't get overly fooled if you're at a shop or convention and find a bagged and carded issue that doesn't show the back, or in this case, the flip side).

I find them interesting and they have unique villains. Seeing a Power Rangers comic centering on Basketball game gambling and Loan Shark creations of Lord Zedd that look like shark men in striped gangster suits with cigars is.... surreal! There's even a letters page in which fans of the time would question the powers that be about inconsistencies between the series and the issues (Professor Hart looks like he's in a lab or control room and delivering orders via communication systems in one issue before it's refined to series standards in subsequent issues).
