365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

Supporting Character Supplemental - Doop

Little is actually known about the origins of the being called Doop. Different tales have been told about his background, tales that counteract one another and are impossible to verify. It was intimated that Doop was the creation of a secret military project; yet it has also been suggested that he comes from a fantastical world between worlds called Marginalia. He speaks in an unknown alien language yet likely possesses telepathic abilities in that most everyone is able to decipher his meaning.

Whatever the case of his mysterious origins, Doop has proved tremendously capable, often manifesting new powers whenever the specific need arises. Among other activities, he was the videographer for the corporate version of X-Force (the team that ultimately became X-Statix). He was a highly popular member of the squad and his merchandise always had the best sales.

Doop first appeared in X-Force Vol. 1#116 (2001).

Dead Girl can reanimate her teammates as undead versions of themselves.

An #MCOC Champ design solution might be to let her Revive her teammates mid-quest with a set of cross-fight passive effects (positive and negative) that reflect their undead status. @MarvelChampions

It's time for Beginnings, the podcast where writer and performer Andy Beckerman talks to the comedians, writers, filmmakers and musicians he admires about their earliest creative experiences and the numerous ways in which a creative life can unfold.

On today's episode, I talk to Eisner and Harvey Award-winning comics creator Mike "Spike" Allred. Originally from Oregon, Mike began his career in comics while working as a journalist. He created his well-known character Madman in the early '90s, and since then has drawn on books like Sandman, Fables, Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four and numerous others. He co-created two wonderful series: iZombie and X-Statix, and is currently drawing Superman: Space Age and a new X-Statix series.

I'm on Twitter here and you can get the show with:

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

Team Supplemental - The X-Statix

When the original iteration of X-Force was believed to have perished in action, millionaire television producer, Spike Freeman, coopted the team name for his own squad of Mutant heroes whose antics would be televised. The venture ended up quite successful generating huge amounts of money through product placement and merchandising.

The team was led by the Mutant known as Zeitgeist who plotted with Freeman to have most of the original team killed in order to spice things up and augment ratings. The scheme went awry, and Zeitgeist, a group of civilian hostages and most of X-Force were all killed. In the aftermath, Freeman created a new team led by the enigmatic Mutant hero called The Orphan.

The Orphan defied many of the suggestions Freeman had for the squad and operated X-Force more like an actual team of heroes. As such, Freeman and his operative, The Coach, attempted to do away with The Orphan. They tried to blackmail team teleport, U-Go-Girl into killing The Orphan.

U-Go-Girl could not go through with it. She ended up sacrificing herself to save The Orphan. With her dying breaths, she asked The Orphan to make something real of the team and suggested they start calling themselves ‘X-Statix.’ The Orphan and his teammate, The Anarchist, chose to honor U-Go-Girl’s dying wish and they changed the team’s name. Freeman was later killed, finally freeing the team of his influence.

Following further misadventures, the entire team was apparently killed in a final adventure. Years later, Zeitgeist reemerged and attempted to kidnap U-Go-Girl’s daughter. The Orphan was resurrected through magic and he led a new team of X-Statix (composed of members of the original squad and the children of those who had fallen) to take down Zeitgeist and rescue U-Go-Girl’s daughter.

The team first appeared in the pages of X-Force Vol. 1 #116 (2001).

⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ graphic violence ⚠️Trigger Warning ⚠️

Comics Fangirl n°3 - Rated X

This review is about "X-force volume 1-issue 116/2001"

Plot by Peter Milligan

Art by Mike and Laura Allred

What's up my muties?

I remember it like it was yesterday. I read this article in the french version of Wizard magazine, deep in my first fangirl phase. It was centered on the events of X-force issue 116, and my prepubescent teen mind took note of the sex and violence seemingly center stage in this soft relaunch.

Years went by, and I stopped reading comics for a time, up until recently, when nostalgia brought me back. After catching up on most of the main X-titles, I recalled this Wizard article. Mind you, I'm less of a angsty edgelord, but I was still curious.

The story starts from the point of view of Axel Cluney, also known as "Zeitgeist" as he recalls his recurring nightmare. In it, he remembers the first time his mutant powers manifested, which resulted in his girlfriend at the time getting disfigured.

Axel is a celebrity now, the leader of a brand new X-force, whose name was decided on because the original team was too busy saving the world to actually copyright their title, the silly gooses!

They're a highly sponsored, televised, and commercialy driven team, packed with angsty, vain, and egotistical mutant celebrities. Edith Sawyer, also known as "U-go girl", the team's teleporter, is on performance enhancing drugs, there's frequent infighting, and the team just lost a team-mate. The replacement, Tike Alicar, the "Anarchist", does nothing to ease the already existing tension in the team.

Not only that, but it seems the polls are saying the public interest for the team is declining. But the team's publicist has just the thing to boost their public image. Classic "good guys against bad guys" action.

He sends them to take care of a ongoing hostage situation involving "Boys R us", a famous boysband. At first, all is well, the team even seems like it's getting along okay. But in his mind, Axel is still that traumatized kid, angry at the world. As he looks down at his admirers, he feels nothing but contempt.

He doesn't see the attack chopper coming.

Trigger Warning ⚠️ the following two images depict very graphic violence ⚠️Trigger Warning

As the dust settles, Axel realizes he finally remembers the girl from his dream's name. Perhaps now, he'll stop dreaming about her every night...

This issue ends on this gruesome note, with the hostages, the terrorists, along with most of the team, in pieces.

⚠️ End of Trigger Warning ⚠️

So that's volume 116 of X-force (soon to be X-statix). Needless to say, if you can't handle graphic violence, you're not going to have a very good time. The world depicted by the series seems a little darker than the rest of the Marvel universe, but also sometimes very human and down to earth. The serie's main topic is fame in general, and most specifically in regards to minorities. It pulls no punches, but it also takes time to humanize his characters. It tackles issues like race, sexuality, and later on even gender identity with a bluntness that sometimes hits hard. It faces head on diverse "superhero tropes" and sometimes subverts them, always in thought-provoking ways.

When it came out, the series struggled to sell much, and was canceled. It gathered quite the cult following since, mostly because it sticks out, with it's strong themes and amazing writting, along with Mike and Laura's GORGEOUS art.

Doop, the team's camera"man" has since made cameos in other X-titles, along with a miniseries in the early 2010s. There was also a Dead Girl miniseries before the team's relaunch in 2019. So if this seems enticing, you have a bunch of issues to look forward to. Remember to pirate this if you can, so your money doesn't help fund a genocide.

I give this issue a Doop/10

That's it for today's review. Talk to you soon, true believers.

Fangirl out.
