  • Marvel spoils us with so many characters to love and hate. Our heroes are superlative with quirky pasts, turbulent presents. They are endearing and unnerving. With every single character beckoning us to enter their world. Hello to all our comic book fans, especially the Marvel ones. Welcome back to another epic informative session with Marvelous Videos. For today’s video, we have for you the origin of the most lethal superhero that appears in the American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
    Now that we have your attention, let me also tell you that this character is usually associated with the X-Men titles. Although even considering the X-Men team, this character has his own coolness and charm. He first appeared in New X-Men issue #128 in 2002. Created by Grant Morrison and Igor Kordey, Fantomex is a character somewhat based on the central character from the Italian comic book Diabolik and its film adaptation Danger: Diabolik. He is also quite similar to Fantomas, which is the character that Diabolik was partly based on.

    I honestly didnt think anybody would be able to write him as well as his creator, Grant Morrison. He was hysterical during those first few X-Men issues where he was introduced.
    Rick Remender surprised me during his X-Force run. He not only kept the sense of irreverence for the character but added a lot of depth. For a character whose main power is basically "misdirection" you got a well drawn out character whose motivations were never out of character.

    Helluva character to tell stories with or about, but i do like the fact that their is no other character like him in any of the other worlds/dimensions. Or he's in 616 or he doesnt exist but he can transcend. if he can travel through different dimensions then he's a sort of Prodigalist Symbol hard to place, but look at it and ponder who would be the main & same figures that the Marvel Universe revolves about? Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, Red Skull, Dr. Doom, KingPin, Dr. Strange, etc. If not shouldn't their be something like that?
