- This video explores the abilities and origin of the Valiant Comics character named Aric of Dacia aka X-O Manowar. From being the an adept warrior who was the heir to the Visigoth throne in 402 A.D. and bravely leading his army into battle against the superior Roman Empire, mounting a small rescue party to retrieve his wife and other captives after their defeat, mistakenly infiltrating a spacecraft of The Vine alien race and being taken into deep space as laborers, successfully rising up against his captives after being deemed worthy by their revered sentient battle armor known as Shanhara, coming back to Earth and realizing that about 1,600 years had elapsed and The Vine had further entrenched themselves into positions of leadership like the British MI-6 agency, using the vast powers of his symbiotic armored suit to fend off strike teams that were sent to retrieve the armor, several run-ins with the world's most capable ninja mercenary named Ninjak, joining forces with this perceived foe to combat their common alien enemy, to allying with the Unity superhero team as they repel various villainous threats in the Valiant Universe; Let's take a look at this honorable warrior known as a popular Valiant Comics superhero, and the one deemed worthy to wield the most powerful weapon within the Valiant Universe. This includes a short, canon character biography and my own opinionated "Sage Rating," which I use to give ratings of comic book and science fiction characters.

I'm really liking this recent exploration into Valiant Comics. Good characters who deserve some spotlight. Thumbs up.
😎👍🏼 Glad to hear it, bro! I appreciate you!
XO manowar had a great story that unfortunately the rest of the label couldn’t keep up with
@@billhasadeathwish2470 Yeah, a friend of mine collects X-O Manowar and was really disappointed when they stopped putting out more issues.
I agree completely I have really enjoyed this vid looking forward to the more
👍
Not gonna lie it took some time to fully appreciate X-O’s armor. At first, it looked silly but seeing it in action changed that. X-O Manowar is such a badass idea: giving an ancient warrior super advanced space armor.
Iron Man with the focused rage of Thor, plus he's a walking history book. Excellent coverage on one of the powerhouses!
No no. If you take Conan + Iron-Man + The Guyver = XO. 🤣🤣
Underneath the metal pieces the body covering has an interesting and unique look. Makes X-O Manowar instantly recognizable in a field of multiple superheroes. Giving an ancient person instant access to modern knowledge is a thoughtful touch. I’m surprised Ninjak held his own. Incredible breakdown Sage & you’re doing an amazing job with this Valiant series.
🤓👍🏼 Yeah! XO is a very unique concept! I appreciate you, my dude! 😎👊🏽
@@NewSage Same bro 🌟
He's a monster. One of my favorites.
🏆🎉 4th to the party today! 🥳 Good to have you here, bro! And yes... He IS a "monster!" 💪🏽😎
@@NewSage always a pleasure watching your videos
Just a beast bruuuh 😆
I had a strong feeling you would be posting a video of this guy after your previous videos. Iron Man and Thor are perfect companions to this guy.
😅👊🏽 Great predictive skills, bro! Glad to have you here early, too!
@@NewSage 😎👊🏾 keep these videos coming
Jim Shooter described XO Manowar as ‘What if Conan wore Iron Man’s Armor’? About 5 years later, Iron Man & XO Manowar teamed up in a very forgettable video game! 🤣😂
That game was PAINFUL
😁👊🏽 Heavy Metal out here!
Mad respect to you mister new sage 👏 this guy deserve a rating of 10/10
I always felt Aric gave off Conan vibes, but I wouldn't have thought of Thor until you pointed out his character's "Gentleman" aspect. Even Thor had principles despite how Viking-like he came across. Also, I got that Issue #0 Metallic cover on the right at 0:40 at a county fair for a dollar in my youth and it's one hell of a read.
🤓👍🏼 Yeah man! I believe the creator compared him to Conan in an Iron Man armor, too. I just noticed that, like Thor, he's also a prince, is "worthy" of an ultimate weapon, and is a physically imposing figure, too! Have a good one, my dude! 😎👊🏽
Old Valiant was so awesome
X-O Manowar needs its own show.
I remember this guy. And I have read a couple of These comic books in the comic bookstore without buying them as you do at the comic bookstore. But, yeah, you didn't really piqued my interest. But I do like variant comics and that comic book company. Holds a special spot in my heart.
😅👊🏽 Yeah! I remember doing that back in the day!
Looking forward to that Peter Stanchek/Sting profile. I know you'll nail it, man.
Glad to see more Love with Valiant comics Sage❤🎉😁
Have a donut with the exploration🍩🍩🍩
Great Vid! I learned a lot about X-O. Now about that Rachel Summers vid... 😏
Squad up!!! I have the first issue of his series. He definitely has an interesting background. And he’s a premiere standout of Valiant.
💪🏽😤 Brock is in the chat! SQUAD UP!!! 😎👊🏽
Always bringing fire ... auto thumb up you already know
The recent reboot where it ends with those beings giving him knowledge is such a perfect way to end a series. 👌i didn't read anything after that
I'm going to go read this book now... I have a growing appreciation for those old valiant comics as I've gotten older
I’ve always been aware of XO Manowar but never got into Valiant comics. I never knew that he was this interesting. He’s like Captain America (because he’s time displaced) meets Iron Man meets Witchblade mixed with Conan.
Man 90’s comics were wild good Shout out my guy Ninjax
He is dope. I remember his video game as a kid.
Damn i haven't seen X O Manofwar in a minute. They should make a movie about this. Its actually interesting story.
On god his comic is what started me reading comics in the early 90
Glad to bring you some nostalgia! 😁👊🏽
Keep it going with the Valiant comics rundown. I’m such a big fan of this universe
😎👍🏼 There will be more to come!
'THIS CHANNEL GETS A LEGENDARY RATING' ..
😁🙌🏽
I would consider him being a REALLY OLD captain america meets Iron Man...
Thor would be the Immortal dude in Vailiant😂
This new run is epic!
Who is old enough to remember the XO Manowar/Iron Man game from back in the day😂😂😂😂? Had the Valiant trading cards as well as a few comics. They have some awesome characters in that universe.
This was dope 😎✊
😎👊🏽 My dude!
Awesome! Thanks bro. keep them coming
😁👊🏽 Still got you, bro!
I just can't wait for your next video your narration is great so I may ask can you make your next video about robot from the invisible universe
Thanks a lot, bro! I appreciate you. And yeah... He's on the to-do list. That vid will come around before too long. 🤓👍🏼
Big salute for finally going back into the Valiant universe. Can't wait for the extensive playlist of all the major players from this universe.
I appreciate the love, bro! 😎👊🏽
I remember playing a game with this guy year back called Ironman/xo manowar for PS1.
Finally more comic books outside of the big 2 (even though valiant got assimilated into DC. You get it)
🤓👍🏼 I'll keeo on looking for those rare ones, bro! 😎👊🏽
@@NewSage GOAT status
I just read some issues of X-O yesterday. Love this character and that armor is bad ass!
Awesome video of X-O Manowar keep on doing more videos of Valiant comics can you also do characters from Dynamite comics and can you also do comic book characters from this old company from the 90s called Malibu comics.
🤓👍🏼 Thanks bro! And I've taken note of all your recommendations.
XO Manowar and Ninjak are my favorite Valiant Comic characters.
Yooooo I love the XO story this would be a fire movie!!!!!!!!
Thor and iron man put together that's one hell of a combo
Been a while since I read Valiant. 2020 actually. I tried to get caught up on Rai. I need to go back and read. I love Modern Valiant. Nothing wrong with it at all.
Imagine the disappointment of knowing about X-O manowar since you were a kid and still to this day not having a live action movie about him, but yet BLOODSHOT, gets greenlit …
If Iron mans armor was donned by a depowered Thor you would get X-O Man of War..hes definitely got influences from both characters with a Light Saber for good measure just in case. Good one little bro Sage this is character is worthy of a movie I have always said Valiant is sitting on this one he could be one of the best if done right.
Great video bro💙
Much appreciated, my dude! 😎👊🏽
@@NewSage same to you bro
WOW! Iron Man combined with Thor. That definitely looks & sounds super powerful enough to defeat all members of Marvel's the Avengers and perhaps, DC's the Justice League.
We need a live-action X-O Manowar film, even though Bloodshot w/ VinDiesel bombed at the box office, I & many others love to see Valiant characters in live-action.
😎👍🏼 Yeah! I'd, definitely, go see a Manowar film. 🎬🍿
Hey New Sage, been a subscriber and watching your stuff for the past few years now. Really dug your Invincible Videos.
You should check out the short run of DCs Impact Comics from the early 90s sometime.
It’s chalk full of a lot of cool and unique Super-Hero and Super-Villain characters.
I have yet to find any other channels covering it.
I don’t think anyone knows that it exists, really lol
😎👊🏽 Thanks for the support, bro! I'll, definitely, take note of that run. 🤓👍🏼
@@NewSage no problem, man!
Main heroes/books of the line are Legend of the Shield, the Comet, Jaguar, the Fly, The WEB, and Black Hood.
Together, they all form the super-team ‘The Mighty Crusaders.’
Can you do comic book origin of DC Fatal Five?
Do metamorpho next please
X-O Man-o-war the reboot was SOOOO good
This is my favorite superhero!!!
Know this was coming. I want x o man of war movie.
I can picture him fighting along side of He-Man on Eternia
That would be cool.
We can leave Marvel out of for once.
💯😎👍🏼 Good one, Brew!
Since you did the comic book origin of Marvel's Korvac, Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's Unicorn, Blizzard and the Controller?
Speaking of Iron Man and Thor, Are you going to do comic book origin of Marvel's Thor Buster Armor?
I still have his comics
🏆🎉 5th to the party! 🥳 Kick back and enjoy yourself, bro! 😎👊🏽
Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's Inhumans Crystal and Inferno along with Firebird?
Sweet 😊
🥈🎉 2nd to the party today! 🥳 Have a good one, bro! 😎👊🏽
If you're doing Valiant you gotta do my boy first
Assassin Creed before the Creed
Had guts before Berserk
On the wall long before Jon or Talion
More bad ass than Davion or a Belmont
He taught the Dunedain Rangers
He's a Barbarian king
A witch hunter
A witcher
The Eternal Warrior
😁👊🏽 I got you, bro!
Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's West Coast Avengers?
I really hope X-0 catches on again.
Too bad we won't ever get a movie.
😎👍🏼Yeah. If it was done right, that could boost the Valiant Cinematic Universe!
I actually know who this is. But learned some new things too 😌
🤓👍🏼 Mission accomplished! Have a good one, bro! 😎👊🏽
399 A.D. is late Antiquity, not Middle Ages. Just a quick correction!
Ninjak next please!🙏
That was the video, immediately, prior to this one! You know I got you, bro! 🎬😁👍🏼
This dude is a HAUSS! He's very powerful!
💯😎👊🏽 Fully agreed on that one!
Wooohooo!
🥇🎉🎊 1st to the party, Sir Shadow! 🥳 You already know what time it is! Kick back and enjoy the show, my dude! 😎👊🏽
You beat me to it...
U know I feel if spider man was infected with the same techno virus that cable has that would fused with the remaining Venom cells inside him would be the marvel version of the X-O armor like in the fanfiction I read
Since you did the comic book origin of DC Dr_Light(Arthur_Light), Can you do comic book origin of DC Dr_Light(Kimiyo_Hoshi)?
What do you think is the best thing about X-O Manowar in the comics? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?
Speaking of Iron Man, Are you going to do comic book origin of Marvel's War Machine, Arno_Stark Iron Man, Whiplash, Cobalt Man, Firepower, Iron Monger, Titanium Man and Crimson Dynamo?
Some of those are in his older videos.
Thing I love about armored heroes is that it allows normal human to stand up to or with the extraordinary hehe even though most of the mofo with armor already got top physique lol not the norm :)
@IStevenSeagal but that photographic reflex 😁
@IStevenSeagal yes but when it is at that level of his I think you could argue it's at superhuman levels like my above peak human level heh
bro please chakra the invincible origin story please please please😭😭🙏🙏🙏
MY BOY
Is X-O Manowar suit similar to DC Blue_Beetle? Who do you think is his DC counterpart?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What would happen if X-O Manowar fought against both Thor and Iron Man? Is he similar to the fusion hero Iron Hammer?
The suit reminds me of the ninja in metal gear.
Raiden. He's that dude, too! 🥷🏽 💪🏽😎
@@NewSage no not Raiden the other guy the one from the ps1 game. I forgot his name as the Ninja but when he was human. I believe his name was Gray Fox. The one liquid snake killed with the Metal Gear.
@@argentiquenoborentino6780 🤔 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah! I got you! 😁👊🏽
😮
You can call the stats as superhuman,hyperhuman and ultrahuman
First 🥇
🥉🎉 3rd to the party today, bro! 🥳 Just by mere seconds, though! Glad you made it here super early, regardless! 😎👊🏽
@@NewSage Damn 😳😊🤣🤣🤣
Dark Horse Comics should've purchased Valiant Comics.
I have two questions if the armor is so smart shouldn’t it have told him about the whole space travel thing and is he’s warrior friend dead?
😅👍🏼 Yeah. I guess it didn't give him a Physics class. Kinda sucks for Aric though. And although they took a lot of casualties in their final revolt, (kind of a spoiler)..... we learn much later that his buddy is alive, and ends up with his own armor as well. 💪🏽🤓
@@NewSage oh, OK that’s cool I hope that if I ever get bonded with alien technology that it would teach me things I need to know instead of assuming my host probably knows this right?
Do hope from valiant comics hhh😅
😁👊🏽 Got you.
👍
Sounds alot like blue beetle
I wonder if he's stronger than Thor?
is this blue beetle?
😁👊🏽
Naw Aric is Op as FUCK
How about Archie sonic?
🤓👍🏼 I'll, definitely, keep him in mind when I revisit video game characters.
Iron man x-o man o war on PS1. If you know you know.
Can you do comic book origin of DC Metamorpho and Element Girl?
