I fell in love with Nekra when I first saw her in Spider-Woman’s book as a child! (There were so few Black super villainesses in the 70’s) I even designed a figure for her when I interviewed to join the action figure team at Hasbro in 2006!
So awesome you have the same love for the less known characters like me! Now if ya love Spiral and Exodus enough to do or would eventually do a video on... we are besties lol
I love it when you cover the obscure characters. Those characters have always appealed to me more than the heavy hitters. Thank you for the great video!
If they ever do an All Black X-Men team, Nekra would make a great wildcard addition given her negativity vampire powers IMO. The character differently deserves a bigger and consistent push in the X-Men Comics. There can only be so many stories about the usual characters , i.e Wolverine(s) and Deadpool...
Right people don’t know she’s an albino black woman; the artist should do a better job of portraying that as well; instead of just making her a vampire looking white woman
@@TheRealArrendondoShe isn’t albino. If she was, her hair would be white as well. Whilst that definition does get put, her skin colour is due to radiation from the place her mum worked. That’s also the origin of Mandrill’s powers but… we will not talk about him. The thing with Nekra is that her calling herself albino got the white supremacist, the grim reaper, to fetishise her. It wasn’t a healthy relationship.
This channel is so unique, there's always something here that you cannot find anywhere else! You've definitely created your very own corner in the World Of X, I'm already looking forward to the next video!
I had no idea Oya was banished and I'm kind of peeved off about that she's always been a very innocent level-headed character almost like a mini storm so they best bring her back like so many characters to throw away and they threw her away the f***?
I'm starting to suspect that you would kick a whole lot of ass with a non-X-men, Marvel/Avengers comic focused sister channel. I'm loving the focus on the pit exiles! I read some interview with Victor LaValle where he mentioned asking the art team to emphasize Nekra's African features, with a (recently deceased singer) Betty Davis as a visual reference.
Personally? Think Xavier is a Hypocrite. Sabretooth, Nekra, to punish them for being who they are and clearly always will be? When Xavier w out bothering to explain terribly well abandoned the bull co existence speech that inured most of the x men to him...plus she's not wrong. Humans seeing huge mutant island of the deathless mutants arent going to just let that be....
This mera girls is like a copy of selene! Everything about her is to munch like selene! Omg selene is just a better fill and. Nekra looks so munch like a vampire she should just been a vampire.
In reality, Nekra appeared before Selene. Nekra appeared in the 70’s in Shanna the She Devil’s last issue. Meanwhile, Selene first debuted in the 80’s in New Mutants
Your Arianna Grande comment is fabulous (... and I rarely use the word "fabulous").

Respect. Legitimately impressed with your deep cuts.
I adored Nekra when I was wee.
So awesome you have the same love for the less known characters like me! Now if ya love Spiral and Exodus enough to do or would eventually do a video on... we are besties lol
I LOVE Exodus 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Nekra is definitely an example of a character being way better than her origins.
Just… never have the mandrill appear ever again.

So happy you're doing this!!!

Put some respect on Nekra's name! Thanks for giving us her back story!

Nekra should join Selene's cult.

Love your videos. This was dope and super informative. Looking forward to bios on the other mutants down w Sabretooth

Do the story how he used Reny Lebeau Gambit to lead him to Slaughter the Morlocks under Sinisters direction
Nekra should have been demon or a vampire. Just saying
Thank you for the edumacation 😁👌
Necra probably killed some human who were attacking a defenseless mutant.
Longer more frequent videos we want
I remember her.
The Priestess of HATE!!!!
High pony
They shoulda put Mustyque down there she irritating
She should be made more powerful
