You see, way back in the day \u2013 on a warm, summer day in 1993, <em>X-Men #23<\/em> came out. What could possibly be significant about <em>X-Men #23<\/em> \u2013 it\u2019s not a #1, or even a land mark 25th, 50th, or 75th issue!

Now, in 1993, Marvel was doing a thing where they were introducing new characters in the Annuals (in the event you\u2019re interested, the list is provided at the very end of this article). Now, Fabian was also writing the <em>X-Force<\/em> books, including <em>X-Force Annual #2,<\/em> where Adam-X was introduced.

They\u2019re abducted by the alien race, the Shi\u2019ar. Katherine is kept as a concubine, while Christopher is thrown into the slave mines.

That adult turns out to be Gabriel Summers, who manages to break free of Erik the Red, a Shi\u2019ar agent on Earth, and is found by Moira MacTaggert.

So, there\u2019s more inconsistency, if you try to accept <em>X-Men: Deadly Genesis<\/em> as cannon.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s just too many reasons for me to dislike Vulcan; the fact that they retconned <em>Giant Size X-Men #1<\/em> (this is my biggest beef), the fact that to make his origin even remotely believable, it makes a few characters appear out of character, and is also inconsistent with what we have already seen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1706 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/comicreliefpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/ax-300x186.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/comicreliefpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/ax-300x186.png 300w, http:\/\/comicreliefpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/ax.png 490w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" \/>Adam was intended to be the son of D\u2019Ken and Katherine Summers.

I would have cut down on the blades on the shoulder and the side of the legs. But most people probably have not read a single appearance to know anything more about him, then to use him as a joke. (Yes, believe it or not, Adam-X still comes up). He did appear not too long ago in <em>Uncanny X-Men #513<\/em> and <em>Dark Avengers #7<\/em>, but he was written so poorly, that the writers were intentionally using him to parody himself (his dialogue is way, way, <em>way<\/em> over the top and written like a \u201ctypical surfer\u201d \u2013 which, of course, is supposed to be a reference to the 90s). On the flip side, I will give it to Yost, who took over the X-Men books after Brubaker left and wrote <em>Emperor Vulcan, <\/em><em>Kingbreaker<\/em> and <em>War of Kings,<\/em> all of which featured Vulcan, and was, at least an interesting story (though the death of Corsair was completely uncalled for).<\/p>\n<p>I will probably never change anyone\u2019s mind about Adam, or even Vulcan; but every once in awhile, I am inspired to ramble about it.<\/p>\n<p>=============================<\/p>\n<p>Footnotes:<\/p>\n<p>The 1993 Annual characters and where they appeared:<\/p>\n<p>Annex \u2013 Amazing Spider-Man Annual #27<br \/>\nBantam \u2013 Captain America Annual #12<br \/>\nDarkling \u2013 New Warriors Annual #3<br \/>\nBloodwraith \u2013 Avengers Annual #22<br \/>\nCadre \u2013 Web of Spider-Man Annual #9<br \/>\nCharon \u2013 X-Factor Annual #8<br \/>\nX-Cutioner \u2013 Uncanny X-Men Annual #17<br \/>\nWildstreak \u2013 Fantastic Four Annual #26<br \/>\nKyllian \u2013 Dr. Strange Annual #3<br \/>\nDreamkiller \u2013 Darkhawk Annual #2<br \/>\nHit Maker \u2013 Wonder Man Annual #2<br \/>\nThe Assassin \u2013 Namor Annual #3<br \/>\nLazarus \u2013 The Incredible Hulk Annual #19<br \/>\nDevourer \u2013 Daredevil Annual #9<br \/>\nThe Flame \u2013 The Mighty Thor Annual #18<br \/>\nFace Thief \u2013 Iron Man Annual #14<br \/>\nPhalanx \u2013 Punisher War Zone Annual #1<br \/>\nIrish Wolfhound \u2013 Guardians of the Galaxy Annual #3<br \/>\nKhaos \u2013 Excalibur Annual #1<br \/>\nNocturne \u2013 Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #13<br \/>\nRaptor \u2013 Avengers West Coast Annual #8<br \/>\nNight Terror \u2013 Ghost Rider Annual #1<br \/>\nLegacy \u2013 Silver Surfer Annual #6<br \/>\nEmpyrean \u2013 X-Men Annual #2<br \/>\nEradikator \u2013 Punisher Annual #6<br \/>\nTracer \u2013 Deathlok Annual #2<br \/>\nX-Treme \u2013 X-Force Annual #2<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally written and posted by me, on my Comic Relief Podcast page here.
