Top 10 Superhero Animated Shows

Superheroes are everywhere, and who has not ever dreamt or wanted to become one? 
So come with me and get your capes on and mask's down, as it is time to fly around and list my top 10 fave Superhero Animated shows!
10: Ben 10
"Ben 10" is an animated television series created by the group "Man of Action" and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. The original series premiered in 2005, and since then, the franchise has expanded with various sequels and spin-offs. The "Ben 10" franchise has evolved over the years, with multiple sequels and spin-offs, including "Ben 10: Alien Force," "Ben 10: Ultimate Alien," "Ben 10: Omniverse," and "Ben 10 (2016)." Ben 10 has had some tv movies/crossovers and live action movies too! The series explores themes of heroism, responsibility, and the consequences of wielding great power. Ben's journey involves not only battling villains, but also learning to use the Omnitrix responsibly. "Ben 10" has resonated with audiences for its engaging storytelling, diverse set of characters, and the imaginative concept of a young hero with the ability to transform into powerful aliens. The franchise's continued success reflects its lasting appeal to viewers of all ages.

9: Invincible
The most recent series on my list will be the more adult themed superhero show Invincible. "Invincible" is an animated superhero television series based on the comic book of the same name by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Cory Walker. The show was produced by Simon Racioppa for Amazon Prime Video and premiered in 2021. "Invincible" addresses mature themes, including morality, identity, and the consequences of power. The series delves into darker and more complex aspects of superhero storytelling. "Invincible" stands out for its gripping narrative, well-developed characters, and a willingness to explore the darker aspects of superhero lore. It has been praised for its mature and nuanced approach to the genre, making it a notable addition to the superhero television landscape.

8: Powerpuff Girls
    When I was a child other boys would usually look at you weirdly if you watched "a girly" show like Powerpuff Girls, however it was actually excellent and IF those people who looked down on the show bothered to watch an episode they would get a lot more out of it than what they thought. "The Powerpuff Girls" is an animated television series created by animator Craig McCracken. The show premiered on Cartoon Network in 1998 and quickly became a popular and iconic animated series. Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup help inspire a generation of children with their strong, independent female characters. "The Powerpuff Girls" is celebrated for its humour, unique characters, and its positive representation of strong female protagonists. It remains a cultural touchstone in the world of animated television and has retained its popularity over the years.

7: Teen Titans
T-E-EN T-I-T-ANS TEEN TITANS LETS GO! The show that made me love the young group of superheroes is the Cartoon Network first run of the show. Mature story line and good laughs and memorable moments made this show so good and really put TEEN TITANS ON THE MAP! "Teen Titans" is an animated television series that premiered on Cartoon Network in 2003 and ran for five seasons until 2006. The show was created by Glen Murakami and Sam Register, and it is based on the DC Comics superhero team, the Teen Titans. The series features a memorable soundtrack, including the opening theme "Teen Titans Theme" performed by Puffy AmiYumi. While "Teen Titans" concluded its original run in 2006, it has remained popular through reruns, home media releases, and streaming services. The series is praised for its engaging storytelling, well-developed characters, and unique approach to animated superhero content.

6: X-Men Animated
Without this show, I probably would not have known or heard or cared about the X-men. Awesome metal theme song that was so catchy with its screeching guitar. Memorable characters and moments. The show introduced me to Wolverine, Rogue, Gambit, Cyclops, Jubilee, Magneto, Gambit, Cable, Sentinels, Mutants, Professor X, Jean Gray and so many more! "X-Men: The Animated Series" is an animated television series that originally aired from 1992 to 1997. The show is based on the Marvel Comics superhero team, the X-Men, and it became one of the most beloved and influential animated adaptations of the X-Men franchise. The iconic and memorable opening theme, composed by Ron Wasserman, is one of the most recognized and beloved theme songs in animated television. The show's success led to the creation of various X-Men merchandise, including action figures, comic book adaptations, and video games. "X-Men: The Animated Series" is celebrated for its faithful adaptation of the X-Men comics, its engaging storytelling, and its contribution to the cultural prominence of superhero animation in the 1990s.

5: Superman animated
"Superman: The Animated Series" is an animated television series that aired from 1996 to 2000. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, the series is part of the DC Animated Universe (DCAU) and serves as a companion to "Batman: The Animated Series." and also the next entry on my list. Tim Daly provides the voice for Superman/Clark Kent, Dana Delany voices Lois Lane, and Clancy Brown voices Lex Luthor. The strong voice cast contributes to the series' quality. The show has the same distinctive look and feel as JLU and Batman Animated Series. The series introduces new characters, including the sympathetic villain Mercy Graves and the superhero Steel (John Henry Irons). The musical score by composer Shirley Walker adds to the epic and emotional tone of the series. "Superman: The Animated Series" is considered a successful and well-received adaptation of the Superman character. It contributed to the enduring popularity of animated superhero shows in the late 20th century.
The series has continued to be appreciated by fans for its faithful representation of Superman, its engaging storytelling, and its contributions to the broader DC Animated Universe.

4: Justice League
Not to be confused with it's sequel JL Unlimited, The series explores the dynamics within the Justice League as these iconic heroes come together to face powerful threats that no single hero could handle alone. The series features a notable voice cast, with Kevin Conroy as Batman, George Newbern as Superman, and Susan Eisenberg as Wonder Woman, among others. Compared to previous animated adaptations, "Justice League" adopts a darker and more mature tone, reflecting the tone of DC Comics in the early 2000s. "Justice League" is considered a landmark animated series that brought together DC's most iconic superheroes. It paved the way for the expansion of the DC Animated Universe with the sequel series "Justice League Unlimited."  After two seasons, the series was rebranded as Justice League Unlimited, a successor series which aired for three seasons. It is the first series in the DC Animated Universe to fully use digital ink and paint, also the first to be produced in widescreen starting in Season 2.

3: Batman Beyond
I was a big fan of this growing up, and I need to rewatch it Terry was such a breath of fresh air to Batman and I need more badly of this show or a live action film or something more to continue or reboot it please. "Batman Beyond" is an animated television series that aired from 1999 to 2001, and it serves as a continuation of the Batman animated series franchise. Created by Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, and Alan Burnett, "Batman Beyond" explores a futuristic Gotham City and introduces a new character taking on the mantle of Batman. The series is set in a future Gotham City, approximately 40 years after the events of "Batman: The Animated Series." Technology has advanced, and the original Batman, Bruce Wayne, is now an elderly man. "Batman Beyond" introduces new villains alongside some familiar faces from Batman's rogues' gallery. The series explores the impact of futuristic technology on crime and vigilantism. Will Friedle voices Terry McGinnis/Batman, and Kevin Conroy reprises his role as the voice of Bruce Wayne/Batman. The continuity in voice casting helps bridge the connection to the previous animated series. "Batman Beyond" received acclaim for its fresh approach to the Batman mythology, blending noir aesthetics with a futuristic setting. The series has maintained its popularity over the years and is considered a standout in the realm of animated superhero storytelling. Happy 25 Years To Batman Beyond!

2: Spider-Man (90s animated series)
Growing up, I was a big fan of Spider-man and the number 1 spot on my list. It's a shame we never had more of this amazing show. The "Spider-Man" animated series from the 1990s is a classic-animated television show based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. It originally aired from 1994 to 1998 and is widely regarded as one of the most beloved and iconic adaptations of Spider-Man in animated form. Unlike some animated series of its time, "Spider-Man" embraced long-form storytelling, with overarching plot lines that extended over multiple episodes. This allowed for more in-depth exploration of characters and story arcs. The series had crossovers with other Marvel characters and storylines, introducing viewers to characters like the X-Men, Iron Man, and The Fantastic Four. The series is well-known for its catchy theme song, composed by Joe Perry of Aerosmith. The theme song is often considered one of the most recognizable and beloved animated series themes. "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" is celebrated for its engaging storytelling, memorable characters, and its ability to capture the essence of Spider-Man's comic book adventures. It remains a nostalgic favourite for fans of both Spider-Man and animated superhero television.
 
1: Batman The Animated Adventures
OK growing up to no surprises I loved and binged these top 3 but the most I watched and had action figures of was from Batman. "Batman: The Animated Series" is an animated television series that originally aired from 1992 to 1995. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest animated series and one of the best adaptations of the Batman character. Created by Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski, the series is known for its unique visual style, mature storytelling, and iconic voice cast. The series is renowned for its distinctive Art Deco-inspired animation and design, giving Gotham City a timeless and atmospheric look. We had all of Batman's rouge gallery appear, but also we had a brand-new star arrive and breakout from the series one we all know and love named Harley Quinn. This show had a star-studded cast, the iconic Kevin Conroy, the legendary Mark Hamil and Arleen Sorkin. The show won many emmy's. Shirley Walker provided the Danny Elfman inspired soundtrack from the Batman 1989 film. The influence of "Batman: The Animated Series" extends beyond its initial run, with its legacy evident in subsequent Batman adaptations, animated series, and the broader landscape of superhero storytelling. It remains a beloved and influential cornerstone of animated television.

Logan - A Slashing Review

Well that was Logan. The story of the animal outcast to the last warrior. 

Hello i'm Scott aka 1stmetalgod the owner of this blog page (1stmetalBLOG) welcome to the blog and welcome to reading my review and thoughts on Logan! 

For the record i rarely do reviews but i felt like this one deserved it.

So i went to see Logan 10/3/2017 at 9:15pm in my local cinema there was no fuss with ques and surprisingly when i got in the screening there was no trailers or adverts shown as the film quite simply booted up, which was weird but awesome at the same time.

Below are my full thoughts and they do contain spoilers so be warned to read with care and to bookmark this page and return to it after you have seen the movie.  

****************************THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS!************************

Logan was all about family which I felt the Xmen films have been lacking overall but you know I have still enjoyed them for the most part. Xmen 1 was good. X2 was really good. Xmen Last Stand was ok. Origins Wolverine was bad. First class was great. The wolverine was bad i thought. Day's of future past was great. Deadpool was excellent. Apocalypse was good. Logan finally was great. That's been all the Xmen films to this point in time of posting and my thoughts on them anyway. 

The first class films will continue as it's been confirmed.


Hugh has done a steller performance for the past 17 years. The only disappointment of him being Wolvie has been the missing classic outfit everyone wanted to see.

Is this the last of Patrick's portrayal of Xavier? Maybe but we still have Mcavoy. 
Do not think this will be the last we see of the wolverine as fox makes a lot of its money off him so expect a return from him in the future but don't expect to see Hugh in the claws. Obviously it's also not the last of Xavier either and i do wish to see Laura come back. 

First half of Logan was spoiled a lot of the time from footage being paraded around in tv spots and trailers. 

Second half was touching and where the whole family stuff really played on which was nice but it was really slow.

Final half was the last stand. Sad but everyone knew it was coming i thought the payoff could have been better but i teared up but no tears fell so suck it. 


X24 oh no i mean Lieve as Sabertooth in Xmen origins
When X-24 came i immedatly thought "Well I guess they could not get Liev Schriber back to play Sabertooth so they got Jackman to play him?" 

The villains were disappointing. The Wolverine trilogy has always had underwhelming big bad guys, but this one really feels uninspired. I also don't think it should have been so bleak either.

I also don't like how vague it was. I was there like "WHERE ARE THE XMEN AND BROTHERHOOD WHAT HAPPENED? HOW DID THEY DIE? TELL ME! WHERE ARE THEY!?" Yes i turn into Nolan's Batman trying to be a detective just asking instead of looking for answers. 

When the kids showed up in the third act i could not help but to think "Is this the Goonies now?" but my god those kids have some badass powers and kills.

Since Laura/X23 came to the scene i was waiting on edge for her to open up and speak heck a part of me was like "what if she's mute in this?" i was dying to hear her talk.
Should Laura X23 return in wolvie costume or the classic all black costume? Should she return at all?
It was a shame and waste of time waiting for a after credits....THERE WAS NONE!

Thank god the violence and language was allowed also and we have one Canadian mouthy merc to thank for that. Oh and the Deadpool 2 teaser did not play before the movie started for me but i did see the teaser online.

Quote of the film: "Eff Off Logan!" (Only because it was a funny unexpected scene)

Scene of the film: Any action scene...so much gore!

To sum Logan up in a word I'd say Gruesome.

To sum Logan up in a sentence i'd say "Logan is gruesome, slow and touching."

Logan has flaws but is also a really good film overall for which i'd rank it an 8/10.

ALL PICTURES USED COPYRIGHT OF MARVEL AND FOX!

Thank your for reading :)

Top 10 X-Men Characters

Hey yo, so i seen the fantastic Xmen: Apocalypse this weekend and like i said it was fantastic,i was gripped and hilariously fueled by it's brilliant acting,cgi and story that it just sucked me in. I honestly loved the movie. The first class Xmen films have been just phenomenal!

There are critics of course that hate the movie for these reasons and yes these are the legit key words "messy,boring,lack of fun and emotion and colourless." Once again just like Batman vs Superman we must have seen a different film! Those critics don't know shit honesty judge a film yourself! Yet these same critics who hated Bats V Supes and Xmen Apoc they liked Civil War which if you ask me, i am going to be brutally honest the story i could not give a crap about i was bored with it despite that the fight scenes and humor made Civil War great! 

Ok i know, i'm getting heated up like Cyclops optic blasts but hey enough of the chit chat bub and let's get down to ranking my top 10 Xmen characters. Oh and i will say all characters on this list are open to characters of the xmen series and not strictly limited to the actual X team it's self but rather the characters or rather mutants that exist in their universe! 

The X-Men is a team of comic book superheroes in the Marvel Comics universe. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, they debuted in The X-Men #1, published in September 1963.

The X-Men franchise has grown to become one of America's most popular comic books, producing dozens of spin-off series over the years and turning some of its writers and artists into industry stars. 

Since it's birth its worth mentioning that the X-Men comics were steeped in deep political and social themes, particularly the civil rights movement. It’s no coincidence that, ironically, Professor X is modeled after Martin Luther King Jr., while the series’ chief antagonist, Magneto, has much in common with the controversial Malcolm X.

As the franchise progressed, X-Men stretched past the geopolitical climate of mid-century America and morphed (or mutated) into something much larger. The series came to represent an overarching allegory for discrimination as a whole and specifically, anti-antisemitism, racism, and gay rights. 

X-Men has always been in the spotlight media of pop culture by it tackling these issues and for bringing new things to the table. It is why it's one of Marvel's and the comic industry's biggest successful comic franchises of all time.


THIS LIST CONTAINS A LOT OF INFO AND MAY CONTAIN POTENTIAL SPOILERS OF SOME KIND TO THE COMIC AND FILM SERIES, ALTHOUGH I WILL BE TRYING TO AVOID SPOILING THEM. 


10: Havok
Alex Summers aka Havok is Scott Summers aka Cyclops older brother and is one of the first to bring into the comic series the concept of relative mutants can not hurt each other with their powers.

A bit about Havok now - Alexander Summers was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is the second of the three known sons of Christopher Summers, a United States Air Force Major and test pilot and his wife Katherine Anne. 

Havok's powers -  Havok is a mutant possessing the power to absorb ambient cosmic energy, process it and emanate it from his body as waves of energy that heat the air in the path, turning it into plasma in the form of a blast or discharge, with a tell-tale concentric circle pattern. These waves will emanate from his body in all directions unless he purposefully tries to channel them in a single direction, usually along the length of his arms. This results in control over an extremely powerful sort of destructive force. He is immune to the adverse effects of most forms of radiation and heat. In the past, he was not entirely able to control this ability, which made him a danger to those around him unless he wore a special containment suit equipped with special sensors for measuring and controlling his power output. Havok is immune to his own powers and to those of his brother Scott. He is resistant but not immune to Vulcan's powers. The energy that Havok releases is not truly a concussive force. Should Havok direct his energy at the lowest level, he can project it towards a human being and his target will suffer a severe headache, but will not burn up. He can absorb cosmic energy from his environment (such as starlight, x-rays, and gamma radiation) and store them in his cells, metabolizing the energy to generate plasma wave discharges that super-heat and disintegrate objects. His absorption is normally passive, but he has shown that he can actively drain and absorb energy as well.

9: Apocalypse
In the harsh, unforgiving desert of ancient Egypt, ruled by Rama-Tut, a band of nomadic raiders found an infant, gray-skinned and freakish in appearance, abandoned by the settlers of Akkaba. The nomads took the child for their own, giving him the name En Sabah Nur, “The First One,” and teaching him to be "strong" in order to survive the desert as a child. This idea, that "the strong will survive," would shape Apocalypse's actions throughout time. Apocalypse came upon some alien tech and infused himself with the tech to give him his near cybernetic appearance. Apocalypse almost always recruits mutants to serve as his personal guards, known as the Four Horsemen.

His powers: Apocalypse's full extent of powers remain to be revealed, especially to the extent of which powers have since been augmented by alien technology. Apocalypse claims to have control of his body on the molecular level-- allowing him to shape change and elongate with virtually unlimited range, to increase density and allow his body to mimic metals and armors, to teleport, and to be virtually immune to the effects of age. Apocalypse can also increase his strength to levels surpassing that of the Hulk, grow to giant sizes, and gain the power of flight, sometimes through turning his arms into wings or jets. Apocalypse can also transform himself into a variety of human disguises. He has exhibited energy absorbing and projecting abilities in the past. Apocalypse has been termed an "External," due to his mutant ability of immortality. Briefly, Apocalypse has shown potential to be a powerful psionic. It has further been hinted that Apocalypse's body is ravaged by a techno-organic disease. Many of his regenerated bodies must use an exoskeleton body armor to prevent his energies from consuming him. Apocalypse can apparently merge/switch host bodies to continually revive his self-consuming body.


8: Nightcrawler

My fave variation of Nightcrawler has been his swashbucklin form, he is so badass with his trusty sword that's fo sure!

Faith should have a prominent role in Xavier's Dream. However, almost all of the faith-based concerns fall on the shoulders of Nightcrawler. Deeply religious, Nightcrawler is feared and hated for his devilish appearance (and German accent). Oddly enough, he seems to receive more venom from religious zealots than most X-Men simply because of the way he looks. Religion is one of the few commonalities that could bring mutants and humans together and it is through his faith that Nightcrawler has stayed true to the X-Men for so long. In Nightcrawler's earlier comic book appearances he is depicted as being a happy-go-lucky practical joker and teaser, and a fan of swashbuckling fiction. Nightcrawler is a Catholic, and while this is not emphasized as much in his earlier comic book appearances, in later depictions Nightcrawler is more vocal about his faith. Oh and spoiler but Nightcrawler is the son of Mystique. 

Powers: Nightcrawler possesses superhuman agility, the ability to teleport, and adhesive hands and feet. His physical mutations include indigo-colored skin which allows him to become nearly invisible in shadows, two-toed feet and three-fingered hands, yellow eyes, pointed ears and a prehensile tail. 

7: Mystique 
Throughout most of her history, Mystique has been a supervillain, founding her own Brotherhood of Mutants and assassinating several important people involved in mutant affairs. At one point, she mentions that she is over 100 years old. Mystique is the mother of the villain Graydon Creed, the X-Men hero Nightcrawler, andadoptive mother of the heroine Rogue. She is forced to abandon Nightcrawler, but raises Rogue for a number of years, and the two women have mixed feelings towards one another. She has been on both sides of the fence of the Xmen team over the years and has been portrayed brilliantly in Xmen first class era of films.

Powers; Mystique is a shapeshifter who can mimic the appearance and voice of any person with exquisite precision, and her natural appearance includes blue skin and yellow eyes.

6: Rogue 
Hailing from the fictional Caldecott County, Mississippi, Rogue is the X-Men's self-described southern belle. A runaway, she was adopted by Mystique of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and grew up as a villain. After Rogue permanently absorbs Ms. Marvel's psyche and Kree powers, she reforms and turns to the X-Men, fearing for her sanity. Rogue's real name and early history were not revealed until nearly 20 years after her introduction. Until the back story provided by Robert Rodiin the ongoing Rogue series, which began in September 2004, Rogue's background was only hinted at. Her name was revealed as Anna Marie, although her surname is still unknown. She has sometimes adopted the name Raven, which is the first name of her foster mother Mystique.

Powers: Rogue has the involuntary ability to absorb and sometimes also remove the memories, physical strength, and superpowers of anyone she touches. Therefore, Rogue considers her powers a curse. For most of her life, she limited her physical contact with others, including her on-off love interest, Gambit; but, after many years, Rogue finally gained full control over her mutant ability.

5: Xavier
He has always been portrayed brilliantly if you ask me in all the media forms he has appeared in be it, video games, tv series to live action films.

Xavier is a paraplegic variously confined to either a wheelchair or a form of personal hovercraft. One of the world's most powerful telepathic mutant minds, Xavier is also something of a scientific genius, having earned Ph.Ds in genetics, biophysics, psychology, and anthropology, as well as an M.D. in psychiatry. He's put his combined talents to use by serving as a leading authority on genetics, mutations, and psionic powers. Furthermore, he has shown noteworthy talents in devising equipment to greatly enhance psionic powers. Xavier is perhaps best known in this regard for the creation of a device called Cerebro, a technology that serves to detect and track those individuals possessing the mutant gene, at the same time greatly expanding the gifts of those with existing psionic abilities.

Although quite at odds with his consistent use of the X-Men to fight threats of evil by engaging in purely physical battle, from a social policy and philosophical perspective Xavier has been shown to deeply resent the violent methods of those like his former close friend and occasional arch enemy, the supervillain Magneto. Instead, he's presented his platform as espousing uncompromising pacifism in order to see his dream to fruition - one that seeks to live harmoniously alongside humanity, just the same as it desires full-fledged civil rights and equality for all of mutantkind. Xavier's actions and goals in life have therefore quite often been compared to those of Martin Luther King, Jr. for his involvement with the American civil rights struggle, whereas Magneto is often compared with the more militant civil rights activist Malcolm X.

Powers: The founder of the X-Men, he himself is an exceptionally powerful telepath who can read and control minds of others. While running a private school in upstate New York in order to both shelter and train mutants from around the globe, Xavier also fights to serve the greater good by promoting peaceful coexistence and equality between humans and mutants in a world where often zealous anti-mutant bigotry is widespread.

4: Magneto
Magneto is a badass! One of the if not the best Xmen villain but he has not always been on the wrong side of course he has been the X-men's greatest ally aswell!

Magneto is not only the most famous X-Men villain by far, but one of the most complex in comic book history. A Holocaust survivor, Magneto has seen first-hand what hatred and fear of those who are different can cause, and has determined that he won't let it happen. So in that regard, Magneto really isn't a black-and-white "villain" like many of the characters on this list. His motivations are understandable; even sympathetic. Of course, doing things like ripping out Wolverine's adamantium skeleton or frequently attacking humanity on a massive scale is less sympathetic.

His powers consist of control over magnetism and the manipulation of ferrous and nonferrous metal. While the maximum amount of mass he can manipulate at one time is unknown, he has moved large asteroids several times and effortlessly levitated a 30,000 ton nuclear submarine. His powers extend into the atomic level (insofar as the electromagnetic force is responsible for chemical bonding), allowing him to manipulate chemical structures and rearrange matter, although this is often a strenuous task.

3: Deadpool

Now what can i say about this guy? He is just insanely brilliantly awesome? Yeah sounds good! 
Ryan Reynolds portrays him perfectly in the deadpool movie. STILL CURRENTLY MY FAVE SUPERHERO FLICK OF 2016.

Deadpool is aware that he is a fictional comic book character. He commonly breaks the fourth wall, which is done by few other characters in the Marvel Universe, and this is used to humorous effect. He often has conversations with his two internal monologues, which are shown as caption boxes in his panels; in Deadpool #28 it is revealed that the villain Doctor Bong, a foe of Howard the Duck, is the logical voice appearing in yellow captions,and in Deadpool Annual #1 (2014) it is revealed that Madcap, a foe of Captain America, is the psychotic voice appearing in white captions with a typewriter serif. Wade Wilson's early life is mostly unknown. His mother died of cancer while he was young and his father (who was in the military) was physically abusive. Learning that he had contracted cancer, Wilson broke up with Vanessa rather than force her to remain with a terminally ill man. In Canada, he was offered hope in the form of Department K, a special weapons development branch of the Canadian government. Wilson became a test subject in Department K’s branch of the joint U.S./Canadian superhuman enhancement project, the Weapon X Program; his cancer was temporarily arrested via the implantation of a healing factor derived from another Department K agent, the mutant adventurer Wolverine. During one mission, Wilson killed his teammate Slayback. As a result, he was rejected from the Weapon X Program and sent to the Hospice, allegedly a government facility where failed superhuman operatives were treated. However, unknown to the Canadian government, the Hospice’s patients served as experimental subjects for Doctor Killebrew and his sadistic assistant Ajax, with the patients placing bets in a "deadpool" as to how long each subject would live. Killebrew subjected Wilson to various torturous experiments for his own deranged satisfaction. In due course, Wilson formed a semi-romantic relationship with the cosmic entity Death, who regarded him as a kindred spirit. Wilson’s emotional strength during his trials earned him the respect of his fellow Hospice patients. Then Ajax, angered by Wilson’s taunts, lobotomized one of Wilson’s friends. At Death’s prompting, Wilson killed his friend to end his suffering. However, under Killebrew’s rules any patient who killed another was to be executed; Ajax subsequently tore out Wilson’s heart and left him for dead, but Wilson’s thirst for vengeance was so strong that it jumpstarted his healing factor, regenerating his heart, although not curing his scarred body. Wilson then attacked Ajax, leaving him for dead in turn, and, taking the name Deadpool, escaped from the Hospice with his fellow patients.

Powers: Deadpool is depicted as having an accelerated healing factor, which not only prevents him from being permanently injured through enhanced cell regeneration throughout his body, but also causes psychosis and mental instability, as his neurons are also affected by the accelerated regeneration. It is thought that while his psychoses are a handicap, they are also one of his assets as they make him an extremely unpredictable opponent. Taskmaster, who has photo-reflexive memory which allows him to copy anyone's fighting skills by observation, was unable to defeat Deadpool due to his chaotic and improvised fighting style.Taskmaster has also stated that Deadpool is an expert at distracting his opponents. The character is known for his talkative nature, has been nicknamed the "Merc with a Mouth".

2: Cyclops 
As a kid i loved Scott Summers because he lead the Xmen and was pretty cool and not so dramatic like in the 2000's xmen films. 

The student has become greater than the master. That's the nature of the world and so to is it with the X-Men Universe as Scott Summers has surpassed Xavier to become the greatest X-Man. A heavy burden was placed on his shoulders as a young man. He was chosen to lead a team of mutants on a crusade that would likely determine Homo Superior's place in the world. He's lost two wives, reunited with his space pirate father, discovered two lost brothers, fought beside both a son and daughter from alternate futures, and defended The Dream as a knight might protect the Holy Grail. Through all of this, he's still standing. 

Powers: High-intensity, continuous optic blasts.

1: Wolverine
SNIKT* No surprised here but by far the most popular and one of my faves is of course the kick ass Wolverine!

Though he may have become oversaturated, Wolverine is no less one of the greatest of all X-Men. Logan is a loner by nature and a man fighting to keep his animal instincts from controlling his actions. He argues regularly with his fellow X-Men and leaves the team often to pursue his own personal agenda. Yet his support of the X-Men rarely, if ever, wavers. He may not be a team player, but Logan has the best interests of the X-Men at heart. Despite his wandering ways, Wolverine has been one of the most reliable X-Men over the years.

We all know Wolvie well by now from the many media sources that he has appeared in shape and forms over the many years so i won't go too much into him.

Powers: Healing factor, six adamantium claws capable of cutting through almost any material, heightened senses.


Alright and that's a wrap,if you enjoyed it let me know.

Got a list you want me to take on? LET ME KNOW!

Alright bub listen up now, i hope you did enjoy this list but for now i must get back to the future, (he means browsing the web ;) ) Ok yeah sure i do Wade.
