"Adam X the X-Treme"
Either the creator was taking the piss at the 90's, or he lacked all self awareness. Or maybe both?

I don't know, he seems kind of lame here. Maybe it's because I don't care about the Shi'Ar.

Didn't Brevoort make him? For some reason people mention the character to him a lot and he doesn't like it.

For those of you new to Nicieza, his Genis-Vell loved his Sci-Fi 90's Slang.
Yet, I don't believe he said "flark".

Yeah but people bring Rich up because they want him back, Adam gets brought up to tease Brevoort or as a joke from what I've seen because no one really wants that charcter back.

Besides Brevoort doesn’t hate Rich (he just doesn’t see a use for him coming back especially with Sam being a Nova not to mention he is a jerk about things) especially since he pushed for Rich to have his own series. After Annihilation and before Conquest a GotG comic was planned but Brevoort and another editor felt that they hadn't formally set up a team yet so they pitched a Nova series with Rich.

I think the scene where you can see the sticker on Genis' butt during a monologue of what a god is without worshipers kind of encapsulates this series.

Yon-Rogg's still his archenemy. Nigga killed his GF and is basically responsible for him becoming Captain Marvel and Carol becoming Ms Marvel.
Strongest enemy =/= Archenemy, it's who personally fucks with you the most. Otherwise Spidey's would be Morlun, Thor's would be Mangog... and Superman's sure as SHIT wouldn't be Lex.

This series was 90's as fuck, and was basically a series of one-shots. Other notable issues include Titania and Absorbing Man's wedding. But that doesn't involve Genis, so I don't care about it right now.

Well after this, in the Genis-Vell timeline, is Avengers Forever, which I'm unsure on if I should do. Then there's PAD, and finally there's New Avengers, which I'm not storytiming because somebody else is currently doing Thunderbolts, and she'll get to that eventually.

Also, if you aren't, start keeping up with the JSA Storytimes. They usually get posted at around 8 PM Eastern Standard time.

He's vain, sarcastic, and kind of a dick. These are stories far better suited for the Silver Surfer Mar-Vell, or even Adam Warlock.
Of course, that may just be something in retrospect, maybe he could've BECOME a character to fit that view, but instead PAD made him a more humorous character.

I love how aliens can just immediately tell which human-looking race you are by looking at you, even when you're a hybrid. I say this as someone who can't tell a Britbong from a Swede until I hear a super recognizable accent.

>>79124438
Avengers Forever is a neat-ass story in its own right (I think, I skim-read), but might be a bit much for a Genis-exclusive storytime. Considering he's only one of like 8 characters and, even then, technically not even canon.
Do the last issue. That sets up the new status quo. Maybe cherry pick some pages that focus on Genis (like his internal monologue on the balcony) or scenes that follow what he specifically is doing (like the bit with Nixon). I once did a Miracleman "storytime" that was just the first 2 issues, the last 2 issues, and every page with Kid Miracleman in between, since somebody was interested in that specific character.

I'll probably have to read through to find any Songbird interactions, since him and Songbird gets brought up a few times, despite it never actually occuring. Maybe I'll go from when Genis and the rest are summoned, and skip the pages when he's not around.

>>79124640
There's three reasons I bothered to do his time before PAD.
1) Most people never read it.
2) There's a single issue that basically is a recap for issues that were never made. Like that Ed, Edd, n' Eddy issue that was a clip show for scenes that never happened before.
3) There's a scene where Genis is insane, and he makes two other versions of himself to talk to. The "Mad God" version of him at the time, the one that takes up most of his run, where he's bound to Rick Jones, and this one.
In that story, this version of Genis is basically set up to look like a drunken fool. Do you happen to remember that issue?

Okay, so now comes Avengers Forever. The end DOES set up Genis's status quo for the PAD run, but mostly in this single page.
But, as >>79124605 said, it is a neat story in its own right, even if Busiek does swing his continuity boner around for, well, the entire 12 issues. Does anybody else have any opinions on if the whole thing should be storytimed, skip to PAD's run, or anything else?

>>79124955

For those of you who only got into Marvel from the MCU, around this time, Drax was in his second incarnation, and was basically Space Hulk. He's super strong, but has brain damage as a result of the process that brought him back to life.
Also, his entire family didn't die, his daughter survived, was taken to Titan (where Thanos, Eros, and Genis were born and raised), and learned telepathy and all that. Drax's backstory is too long to explain in a Genis story.
