Jean Grey is one of the most overpowered characters in Marvel’s pantheon. She regularly carries out cosmic level feats and goes up against god-like beings.
And yet, she’s one the most endearingly human characters in all of superhero comics.
In a genre full of overpowered characters, Jean Grey stands out for all the right reasons. And in this video, I explore what makes her work so well. Enjoy!

It’s a recurring theme throughout contemporary X-Men comics.
Magneto was right.
For years, it was just a cynical observation. But lately, Magneto being right hits a bit harder. It’s no longer just a popular meme or a dramatic moment in X-Men 97. It offers powerful insights into the real world. And those insights are worth heeding.

This video is another entry in my “Jack’s Comic Gems” series. This time, I highlight a brief, but memorable mini-series that reimagines the classic House of X/Powers of X story, but in the world of X-Men 92. It’s a unique, but uncanny combination that proves to be a quality gem for all the right reasons.

This video is a bit of a rant on the Avengers, the X-Men, and how they’re depicted in popular media. One is a celebrated team of heroes. The other is hated and feared, even as they try to be heroes, as well. There are many reasons for this that go beyond the general narrative. And with mutants poised to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I believe the time is right to highlight and scrutinize those differences. Enjoy!

This video is my review of Jean Grey #3, the third issue of Jean’s mini-series by Louise Simonson and Bernard Chang. In this issue, Jean continues navigating the past in hopes of fixing the present. This time, she returns to the events of Inferno and her confrontation with her clone, Madelyne Pyror. It was a fiery conflict that became a defining moment for her and Cyclops.
But even as she battles the Goblin Queen, the present is finally starting to catch up to her. And it sets the stage for a truly uncanny finale to this series.

The following is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video is my first attempt at a fan theory. For this theory, I attempt to surmise a way for Marvel Studios to integrate mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We already know they’re coming. Kevin Feige has announced it. A variant of Charles Xavier showed up in Multiverse of Madness. And mutation was directly referenced in the finale of Ms. Marvel.
But even though we know mutants are set to enter the MCU, there remains a number of pressing questions.
Where have they been all this time?
Why did mutants never show up during major events like Infinity War?
This theory, which I call the Onslaught Theory, attempts to answer that with a hypothetical scenario that builds directly on recent events. Please note this is just my personal theory. It may or may not get debunked in the near future.
The following is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. It’s a quick reaction video I made after the latest trailer to “Dr. Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness.” Please note I do discuss potential spoilers and rumors/leaks that have not been verified. I also do my own share of speculation and theorizing. Enjoy!
