Yeah I'd like a third Havok video.

@KGBookkeeping 2 years ago

Being born in ‘87, the ‘90s for Marvel comics was one hell of time!!!

@CHARLESJOHNSON-gv7zy 2 years ago (edited)

NOBODY CONNECTS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE TOGETHER LIKE 'MERRY MARVELITE' .. WHICH IS WHY THIS CHANNEL IS .. 'EXCELSIOR' ..

@Brobarian69 1 year ago

Shout out to all the other little brothers who overcome endless set backs!!
We are Havok

@christopherulichney 2 years ago

I just noticed that you have been covering a lot of the Peter David X-Factor members lately. Havoc, Polaris, & Multiple Man. How about doing a video on WOLFSBANE to come closer to finishing off that team.

Im still going to ask for a video on RAVAGE 2099, too, though.

As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

@christiancampagna2229 2 years ago

I'm glad you mentioned the Meltdown mini series. It seems to be a forgotten story.

@Stone_D_Ministry 2 years ago

Even when you think you've read everything to know everything about XYZ character, there's MM to always remind you you didn't do your research thoroughly

Great video as always

@MrMetro-mt5qv 2 years ago

Alex Summers is obsessed with the multiverse.

@legoking6165 2 years ago

I've never been THIS early for one of Merry Marvelite's videos.

@colossalruin1990 1 year ago

I still have the entire run of mutant x, loved those comics in the 90s

@amanzeihedioha 2 years ago

Poor Alex...I just wanted him and Lorna to be happy :(

@jalenikezeue4114 1 year ago

Oh yes please do more stories about havoc

@DemianHutsell-rp3lp 2 years ago

Alright, ya sold me, let's run that third alex episode. Thanks merry

@DominusNox106 2 years ago (edited)

Havoc has always been one of my favorite characters in the X books. His power is awesomely destructive and he has always held it back. To truly be targeted by his power would turn anyone into ash.
I also cgased down a toy of "the Fallen" and I really wish we would have gotten the whole Mutant X team.

@kbar4462 2 years ago

I loved this era of Alex, back when he was a competent and functional human who learned from his experiences and mistakes. Not the butt of the joke person he's been for the last few years

@travismiddleton8218 2 years ago

Thanks for covering the Summer Brothers. It's easy to forget how complicated their backstories are 😂

@Firebrand128 2 years ago

I'm impressed that you managed to follow this twisted tapestry of nonsence. You're really good at telling these stories and making the more twisted ones somewhat coherent.

@robertfalcone3025 2 years ago

WOW Alex Summers has a HUGELY CONVULTED history!!
Also YES we need a 3rd Havok video
Anyways great video brother... looking forward to more of your Marvel Comics videos 👑
