Secrets of the WEAPON PLUS PROGRAM!! || Comic Misconceptions || NerdSync

Weapon X might be the most well-known installation of the Weapon Plus program, but there is a ton of history behind this secretive organization. From Captain America to Wolverine to Fantomex and beyond, Weapon Plus has made many dangerous living weapons!

Every Wednesday, Comic Misconceptions explores fascinating trivia, crazy stories, and mind-blowing theories about the comic book universe from Marvel, DC, and beyond!

—————————————————————

To everyone wondering about Deadpool or X-23:

Yes, you are right. They were indeed a part of the Weapon X program. But, I didn't want to focus too much on Weapon X because there were so many other installments to get to. So I consciously made the decision to leave them out of this episode since the main focus was all the other installments of the Weapon Plus program. I figured a lot of you would ask about Deadpool, but I wasn't expecting this much of an uproar in the comments about X-23. Apparently you all love her as much as I do!

*To everyone wondering about X-23 and Deadpool*

Yes, you are right. They were indeed a part of the Weapon X program. But, I didn't want to focus too much on Weapon X because there were so many other installments to get to. So I consciously made the decision to leave them out of this episode.

I figured a lot of you would ask about Deadpool, but I wasn't expecting this much of an uproar in the comments about X-23. Apparently you all love her as much as I do!

In fact, fun story. My friend Ricky Anderson II from Stewdippin : Fun Nerdy Videos Every Week — allow me to pick up that name I just dropped (I wonder if he'll recognize _that_ reference) — sent me some X-23 comics in response to this video. Super awesome and nice! So, yes. I am very aware of this character, and it seems I have to do an episode on her soon!

Hope that clears this all up. Though, I doubt I'll ever stop getting comments about it. Haha!

I know what kind of weapon I'd create to get rid of the "mutant threat", a retrovirus that gave everyone the X-gene.  Because it's kind of hard to hate mutants when you are one.

*17 Living Weapons Created by the Weapon Plus Program!*

Wolverine is the best at what he does, and what he does isn't very nice. But he wasn't the first living weapon created by the nefarious Weapon Plus program. And each one was created to kill mutants, even Captain America! Take a look in this week's Comic Misconceptions.

How would you (theoretically) kill mutantkind? Let us know in the comments!

hey man this is an awsome show I just subscribed and commented on your previously comic misconseption great show about comic books! hope good luck on your move :D

[MidnaNightengale]

What kind of weapon would I deploy? FREE PIZZA FOR EVERYONE.

[PJ-jbbm]

Wasn't Bruce some branch of the weapon X program. Maybe that could be a theory. Omg general Ros's is the head of weapon X.

[johnchapman]

Nuke actually shows up in daredevil first. Created by Frank Miller for Born Again.

[blakebarner]

So, DC basically ripped off the Deathlok story arc for their Future's End series. Great.

[raynclark]

In the young avengers comic it says that Isaiah Bradley was the original capt. America which leads me to believe that Isaiah Bradley had the super soldier serum before captain America.

[chrisschurke]

In a miniseries called "Wolverine:The End" Wolverine meets his older brother, John Howlett. Wolverine asks him if he's a new improved version of Weapon X, and John responds "Actually I'm your predecessor." He also says that he indirectly helped design the big water tank that Wolverine was submerged in when he became Weapon X. He's possibly refering to helping perfect it during earlier experiments. So that would make Wolverines brother Weapon IX, right?

[xenostrike]

I really enjoyed the video, but i do hope you do another one going through the 3 different weapon X programs.

[GrimSqueaker]

The comic We3 allegedly follows weapon 2's animal tests

[PhazonOmega]

I didn't get the opening joke, though I loved the artful rapid-fire delivery. So I looked up Weapon Plus Program, and discovered the meaning of Weapon XI. Well played, NerdSync. Beautifully done.

[JFlip]

If weapon II is animal test subjects would it be possible that rocket raccoon be a member of weapon II two program either escaped or the program was never stopped and continued??? Or am I just over thinking it

[LeonidasBr]

Big fan for a year and a half now, very-very good research for each episode! You are a Pro.
