Comic Trivia Of The Day- Professor X

So here is today's issue of Comic Trivia Of The Day. Enjoy!

Many people know who Charles Xavier aka Professor X is. A man who is a figurehead for the mutant community, setting up a school for the gifted for those young pupils to hone and craft their powers in order to use them for good whilst also protecting them from the prejudice outside world.

Along with being a father figure at the school, for both students and teachers (who consist of Cyclops, Storm and even Wolverine) he is also probably the worlds most powerful telepathic. He can access the minds of anyone (excluding Magneto when he wears his custom-made helmet) he can cage dark personalities within someone (the Phoenix in Jean Gray for example) whilst he can pick out your darkest secrets if he wanted to.

Since he is all so powerful, many people wonder why he is in a wheelchair since he wasn't born that way and he doesn't suffer from any debilitating illnesses. Most people, who have either read the comics or seen the film, know that Professor X was unfortunately paralysed by another. Many people believe that it was either at the hands of Magneto ( was is depicted in X-Men First Class) or by the mammoth Juggernaut. But this is not the case.

According to the main continuity line that Marvel uses, Professor Charles Xavier was actually paralysed by an alien scout named Lucifer who dropped a giant stone onto the Professor which caused Charles' legs to be crippled. Seems a bit odd that one it wasn't one of the main characters we here of when reading a comic with any involvement of the X-Men but hey-ho.

Thank you for reading guys and girls, come back tomorrow for another issue of Comic Trivia Of The Day

Comic Trivia Of The Day-X-men Origins: Wolverine

So today's little piece of trivia is something that I have just realised. Literally moments before I began writing this post for you.

X-men Origins: Wolverine was probably the best of all the X-men films that have been made so far. The casting was surprisingly good and even Will.I.Am did an all right job. But the supporting character I am most interested in was Ryan Reynolds He portrays a. character known as Wade Wilson. More well known in the comic books as our favourite mercenary Deadpool.

Unfortunately for us fans he didn't turn into the character we all now and love but he turned into a super-mutant with the powers of many of the other X-men including Scott Summers, Cyclops. Although he turns into a grotesque monster which many fans feel cheated out of, there were still some subtle references to the insane character.

One is that when Wade turns into the 'The Deadpool' you see that his mouth is sewn up (see below) and Stryker says how Wade always talked to much. Obviously this is a reference to the 'Merc with a Mouth '


Another little fact is that Ryan Reynolds, like a lot of us, wanted a Deadpool film but he insisted it had to be Rated-R so that it can capture all of the magic. According to the wiki-page for X-Men Origins:Wolverine, Reynolds never wanted it to be family friendly like Captain America. So we can sit-and-wait for people to forget he was in Origins and hopefully, with probable success with the new game coming out, a film will be put into production.

Comic Trivia Of The Day- Deapool's Face

So today Ladies and Gents we will once again be looking at Marvels favourite lunatic Deadpool.

As mentioned before, Deadpool was part of the weapon x programme ( the same programme that gave Wolverine his adamantium skeleton). Obviously poor Wade's body couldn't handle the stress and he turned a lot crazy, talking to himself all of the time (read any Deadpool comic) But as you can see in the picture above, Wade Wilson does not have the prettiest face in the world.

This is actually a result of being part of the weapon x program. Because of the healing factor that was added to Deadpool, the tumours he was trying to cure also kept healing themselves thus causing a huge internal battle within the body of Deadpool, hence the patchy face.

Comic Trivia Of The Day- Deadpool

Today we will be looking at Deadpool, Yayyy!

Probably one of Marvels most popular characters, this anti-hero is probably the most psychotic person ever to grace the pages of comics and yet we all love him! The fact that he is getting his own game, which looks awesome and should be out this Summer!!!

Anywho, Did you know that Deadpool was part of Department K (in Canada) which was secretly working on the Weapon II-X project (where Wolverine was upgraded). By going rouge, Wade Wilson was sent to The Hospice were rogue superheroes were sent for rehabillitation. This was just a place where the people in charge Doctor Killebrew and Ajax tortured Wade, putting a 'dead pool' on him where people bet to see how long it would take him to die and thus this is how he turned into a nutcase and how Wade Wilson will always be better known as Deadpool

Avengers VS X-Men Movie

Okay so if you read this and became a little bit too excited I apologise now. :P

With the new comic book series becoming such a success, I was thinking how awesome it would be if they made a movie(s) later down the line. With the avengers movie success as well as the older X-men films, it would seem right to make this movie. The Avengers wad classed as a sort of super movie due to the fact that it bought together a number of individuals, all with successful films of  their own, and put them into one epic movie.

Although there maybe new X-men origins films coming out, they could place the Avengers VS X-men film(s) in between. The problem with adding the X-men to the mix is that in 'X-men Last Stand' three of the main characters died (Cyclops, Professor X and Jean Grey/Phoenix) How this could be sorted in a film I'm not really sure  because it is very unlikely that they'll be the fallen X-men back from the dead. Maybe they would put more of the lime-light on different members of the X-men, like Colossus or Archangel whilst still keeping the big names like Storm and Wolverine in the mix.

Another problem is who would win. Obviously the comic book series is still going on which means none of us fans know who is going to win the war. This could mean  that it would take years before the movie went into production which would really suck.

So, who do you want to win the massive Marvel war which could change the whole of the Marvel universe forever.
