Practically the only woman-villain from superhero/villain comic books with the capability to be a powerhouse against a whole team of superpowered individuals, and WITHOUT needing to be possessed by some other force hijacking her consciousness, and she's sooooo underutilized! I want her to be the villain after the next X-Men movie.
Probably has something to do with what made those bigwigs behind movie studios think that superheroine movies aren't profitable (because Catwoman & Elektra) or that one writer guy who thought a female Venom is a ridiculous idea because a super-powered female character ISN'T a believable villain for Spider-Man. 😐 I forgot the word, what's it called ...
Finally someone did a video on her. I’ve been asking ComicsExplained to do a video on her for a while. She’s such an amazing character and she has so much potential. She actually became a Goddess during Necrosha. I want Marvel to do more with her, show us how powerful she can become when she devours the souls of an entire planet!
this is a woman so powerful that when Kulan gath was casting spells that rewrote ALL OF REALITY in NYC to revert back to the hyborean age.. Selene stayed EXACTLY the same because she was THERE the first time...and Kulan gath recognized her as his most significant threat. (actually it was Warlock, who being a technoorganic alien was completely outside Gath's understanding and immune to the "revision" spell he was casting. but still.) WHy the xmen not only leave her alive, but keep RESURRECTING her is beyond sane understanding and is one of the biggest arguments i have for all mutants being manipulated by the Celestials that are responsible for thier mutations in the first place. (its true, look it up)
Gotta give mad props to Marvelous Videos giving such detailed attention to an underappreciated, underrated, underutilized powerhouse femme fatale villain in #Selene! ✳️🔥🌒🌑🌘🔥✳️ Just bowing now! 🙌🏼🙇🏻♂️🙌🏿🙇🏽🙌🏻 All hail Marvelous Videos! ☝🏻👊🏼🤘🏽 #BlackQueen
Selene is actually born 17 thousand years ago. She was the oldest mutant until now since Marvel introduced mutants who lived billions of years ago. She is literally among the most powerful mutants, easily taking on both Magneto and Doom and and defeating them, she wasn't even trying to fight them. She is a psionic of the highest order. She is however not a telekinetic but can manipulate inanimate objects but since she is a sorceress she might be, who knows since she hasn't displayed much of her powers. With her intelligence and knowledge of magic, and her life force absorption. I would definitely put Selene above any magical being on earth. If displayed correctly, she would be more powerful than Doctor Strange, Wanda and even Madelyne Pryor
i used to be so scared of her when i read the comics (pictured above). I remember when she attacked Sabastian Shaw. being able to just absorb your life force is so unfair lol
@16:14 Laundry List of Powers I love how the writers put too much limitations on each of the power sets . . . I wonder if this is "also" done on powerhouse male villains/heroes. 😐
The one thing I don't like about this character is her history or origin specifically.... I know the writers at marvel during the time her character was created don't have degrees in sociology or anything or know about mankind's history but by her being born 17,000 years they should have made her either Ethiopian or Sumerian.
Rumor had it that Selene was supposed to show up in X-MEN:APOCALYPSE in the beginning set in ancient Egypt. She was supposed to be the one that instigated the coup against Apocalypse.
When Apocalypse was born Selene was already 12 thousand years old she was even older than the Eternals when they first came to Earth thousands of years ago
I hated Selene since the inception. Even down to her name. Plus, I concede she's powerful, her powers suck. She had telekinetic control of inorganic matter, telepathy, super strength, super speed. She has a vast array of powers, and isn't particularly strong with any of them. And as for the rest of her powers, I assume they're sorcery rather than mutant. None of her abilities are sufficiently developed to be a world-level threat.
They (Marvel) can't make up their minds about it... but in a Nutshell... Namor is recognized as the "first Mutant" in universe by public exposure, Dr. Nemesis was retconned as being public before him, but with a secret identity, Apocalypse and the Externals, and other mutants such as Exodus, wolverine, sabertooth, etc.are chronologically older in universe. That about covers it. Sorry for spreading the confusion/headache.
As it stands now...Groove / Krakoa is the oldest the last survivor of a pre-historic mutant society Threshold..Selene,Garba Hsein,Genesis,Apocalypse, Isca,White Sword, Xilo the First Horsemen the other Externals,are all between 15 & 6000 yrs old..Exodus is almost a millenia old , then it's Dr Nemesis& Namor at a century & change ..

Very true
She did had an appearance in the Dark Phoenix but, mygod, what the hell was that?
I put her on the same level as Hela
Wanda as well, she is a Nexus being in her reality.

She deserves more attention she's always so fun when used well
Selene is one of those underutilized characters that do not get much time to shine.
I always felt she should have been Rogue's true birth mother.
right it’d make sense
That would be interesting…

Selene should’ve been the main villain in x men dark phoenix
no not in a story arc like this, the phénix take to much place for other main vilains,
she ned to have her on main movie focus
not with the way they casted her i say nar
Selene is my absolute favorite mutant of all! Thank you for making this informative video!

Ik 😂
I LOVE THAT YOU DID THIS! I literally was just watching the UNDERWORLD movie analysis talk about Selene
What movie ?
Gotta give mad props to Marvelous Videos giving such detailed attention to an underappreciated, underrated, underutilized powerhouse femme fatale villain

I like her interpretation during her Hellfire Club days in the 90's.
Megan Fox and Lucy Liu would be a perfect cast to play Selene in Live Action
Of course a white woman and Asian lady would be the perfect actors to play a black woman 😂😂😂😂😂
Megan Fox indeed but even better would be Eva Green or, back in the days, Asia Argento.
I was so upset with what they did with Selene in the X-men movie…soooo under utilized…if she ever hits the screen again MCU better do right by her.
Like jean was nerfed but I didn't expect that from SELENE GALLIO
Selene is so top tier and a baddie, Necrosha was a great storyline,she is soo woefully underutilized.
Selene is actually born 17 thousand years ago. She was the oldest mutant until now since Marvel introduced mutants who lived billions of years ago.
She is literally among the most powerful mutants, easily taking on both Magneto and Doom and and defeating them, she wasn't even trying to fight them.

You are absolutely right. I did a double take when they mentioned she was born 15,000 years, until they said "before Christ" and then I did the math.
When did she fight doom?
@@insighttheformula in Doctor Doom and the Masters of Evil issue 4..
@@astraeos yeah, true. I was just making it sure that the time is actually 17 thousand yrs ago
Selene has separate telekinetic powers from her matter animation powers. She’s a full range psionic, telepathy and telekinesis.
Female powerhouse villians: Nemesis, The goddess, The Sphinx (Karim Meryet), Nebula (with IFG), Phoenix.
i used to be so scared of her when i read the comics (pictured above). I remember when she attacked Sabastian Shaw. being able to just absorb your life force is so unfair lol
She caused him to be brain-de.d. (everything is sendored now so hopefully you know what I meant)
Finally she gets recognition 😭
AUBREY PLAZAA? HELL YES! SHE IS GETTING BETTER ROLES AND IS LOOKING GORGEOUS DAY AFTER DAY!
Selene & Garba Hsein are the eldest Eternals...she would have made the perfect New Mutants villain.
Black Queen (Selene) vs White Queen (Emma Frost) both became villain and superhero from time to time.
Necrosha is such a good series make me look at her totally different
@16:14 Laundry List of Powers
I love how the writers put too much limitations on each of the power sets . . . I wonder if this is "also" done on powerhouse male villains/heroes. 😐
Recent writers don’t put those limitations on her power sets. This is Claremont era descriptions, basically almost 40 years ago.
17,000 years and she still hasn’t taken over the world?
I hope she gets featured in MCU and not that ghastly Selene in Dark Phoenix
Hopefully the MCU would empower her as they empower Wanda
@@joshmarvel5327they need to bring the entire X-Men verse to the MCU the fox verse is nerfed badly and we can atleast see more from jean
Finelly! She one of my favorite x-men vilain! I hope to see her again in movie/série!
Me too. Hopefully they do a Sebastian Shaw video next .
@@matthewschwartz6607 yep

Unimaginable stories of Selene told by the MCU. So much potential
See that's what I thought! I thought possibly, Aubrey plaza would be playing character of Selene... Or Morgan Le Fay.
she has always been my favorite female marvel villian.
She looked beautiful in live-action Phoenix movie but they could have made it better but they made her too weak
And Amara's Grandmother!
I like this channel
With her being so old I'm surprised she wasn't recruited by Apocolypse.
I'm surprised she didn't recruit Apocalypse, she is that powerful.
Rumor had it that Selene was supposed to show up in X-MEN:APOCALYPSE in the beginning set in ancient Egypt. She was supposed to be the one that instigated the coup against Apocalypse.
I love anyone associated with the New Mutants comic !!
When Apocalypse was born
Selene was already 12 thousand years old she was even older than the Eternals when they first came to Earth thousands of years ago
Anybody else also watch these before a new card in marvel snap comes out to check out who some of these characters are?
I'm confused, what about Apocalypse being the first and oldest mutant?
no Selene and some other mutants are older than him. Also she apparaid before him in the comics too
She's older than apocalypse
He loves to brag about that but En Sabah Nur knows Selene has got him by a few millenia..
I thought she was a powerful ancient vampire….???? Now you guys are saying she’s a sorceress
She's like Rogue. But a witch.
Who's here from new journey-
way too big of a storyarc to make into one video, this needs to be made into like a 4 part series.
I though that apocalypse is the oldest mutant in marvel comics 😅 now i read black queen story and i'm so shock
selene wrote the big bang theory
One of my favorite comics is the new mutants with Celine
She ain't no joke
Basically no one dies
Can you do a video on arcade
She reminds me Raven.
She also a few years ago was a handful for Captain America
Two handfuls actually.

Why doesn't selene just clone someone to drain them and never go hungry.
Why not she drains just the poverty?
@@robertoquintero5200 maybe
Apocalypse is the oldest mutant but then again....
Wasn’t it retconned that DR. NEMESIS was the first mutant?
They (Marvel) can't make up their minds about it... but in a Nutshell...

@@kingcharles4134 thank you for the expansion of that info. I myself was finding it difficult to summarize the "timeline"... if you will
Sooooooo when they threw her out of the train she lived then?
does that mean she's like scarlet witch and storm?
Dear Marvel. I would much rather see a Wesley Snipes, and Kate Beckinsale Blade movie.
Apocalypse, Namor, Selene who is the first?
Selene is older than both.
Wanda
The Black Queen
Danu
Hecate
The Morrigan
Selene
She’s older than apocalypse ???
Over three times his age
Umar.
Selene vs Christa Goddess winner CG
I am unfamiliar with the latter individual...please elaborate.
The portrayal of her character in Dark Phoenix is a waste.
The movies ruined her
Origin of dark horse comics ghost and Sakura kasaungano
selene is bad news
how can she be a black queen if she's not black 🤔
Named after a chess piece.
@@alexfilma16 I don't think that's right 💯
@@DOGGAMMA It is. Learn about the Hellfire Club in Marvel.
Apocalypse??
She's older
Fake battle
I never liked Empath he was a piece of garbage when he was in the hellions didn't like him then don't like him now.
If you're going to share about a character please check where you're getting your information from. Smh
Celine Emma Frost and that enchantress😊 and battle X-Men and avengers and the Justice League
Wow, mispronounced 3 easssy words. Sad. Read a real book once in a while.
My ?
Selene should’ve been the main villain in x men dark phoenix
That movie was total sh*t.
