  • Love the music choice. Really add to the sad story and i am not a Glee fan. To bad they killed him so early in the movie. I think he would have made the movie better =)

  • they should have gave hiom the credit he deserves he not only can adapt to survive but he can teleport and he fights the hulk also

  • ...So Darwin is Marvel's version of Doomsday?

  • The one who is torn apart, or June Mermaid would both be good replacement songs.

  • Comment removed

  • This song.... :| Why?... Could you not have found something else? Hell I could have dealt with any of the overused songs... Linkin Park, Evanesence, Distrubed.... ANYTHING but Glee....

  • Question...I noticed the ending captions said this story's from an X-Men issue from Feb. 2006? If that's when Darwin 1st appeared, when is he in X-Men first class? Shouldn't he have not been born yet? Iol I know its a comic, just trying to make sense of it. Never knew of him until the movie and this. Thanks.

  • Very good character synopsis of one of the more enigmatic X-MEN. Hope he wasn't actually killed in 'First Class' and that we'll be seeing him again.

  • too long didnt watch

  • Thank you very much for this video, I had no clue about Darwins story

  • does he ever get along with his mother in the future?

  • so in the end, whose the strange lady that helped Darwin?

  • @robbbyyy25 Moira MacTaggert i believe

  • Darwin: the Evolving Boy! Really a boy and why not just call him a man?

  • This guy is fucking BOSS.

  • A Glee song to a video dedicated to Darwin?....A GLEE SONG? Jeeeezus 

  • Wtf is this music. Did you think this was fitting music?

  • why not evolve in a guy with hair not getting bullied

  • @basioh1818 his body evolves in what it needs to survive, not what he want.

  • Sarwin really is interesting.

    Very nice video but awful music, as others commented already.

    Thanks anyway, I never read this episode in the comics.

  • why is the black dude the only one with a lame name??

  • omg X'C darwin had a really hard time in his life! first his mom i hate her she should be proud of her son for having such high IQ and getting straight A's, and then his stupid school mates bulling him darwin is such an interesting person, i want to know him more! and more about his powers! i want to be his little sister i would have been very pround and i will cheer him the whole day until he gets embaressed of me! XDDDD

  • Besides the obvious injustice that Hollywood does to Blacks by always killing a Black person first in a movie, Hollywood just don't know how to follow guidelines about certain characters when it comes to making a movie off of Comic Book Characters. Darwin is. in a sense, IMMORTAL! Maybe the next movie they make is about the Inhumans, and they'll have Black Bolt as the protagonist, and give him tons of VOCAL dialogue. SMH.

  • Of course feel free to ignore this suggestion, but consider "My Way" by Limp Bizkit? I'm not sure how well it will fit, but just putting the idea out there.

  • As many people have already commented: Darwin is way more powerful in the comic book, he's not suppossed to die so easily. Deadly Genesis is the first saga in which he appears, he is "killed" by Krakoa, but he just evolves into a beign of pure energy and rests within Vulcan, resurrecting years later. During World War Hulk his power makes him teleport away so he can survive, which proves he does not have control over his power.

  • @ironcolossus4 Also, he's able to stop Hela (Godess of Death) once, he simple touches her and becomes a GOD in order to survive her death touch. he developes a death touch of his own.

    THANKS 4 ALL YOUR COMMENTS!

    MUSIC SUGGESTIONS??

  • @ironcolossus4 but why the hell did he died in the movie couldn't he have evolved so that guy with the absorbsion power wouldn't have any effect on him?

  • @NEGATIVEPLANET In the comic book in that situation he would have gained the power to absorb energy, or he would have became like Dr. Manhattan from Watch Men, either way he would have became god tier that's what Darwin does he cannot be killed...

  • A good video, but the music made me want to kill myself. no offense, i just hate glee. but if you like it, thats your opinion. nice vid.

  • @Trecobezor any suggestions???

  • @ironcolossus4 Metronomy - this could be beautiful

  • @ironcolossus4 maybe some smooth jazz

  • bastards killed him off in the movie like he was just another mutant when he was right up there with wolverine, mystique, and beast

  • @hot1cold0 I don't know much about Darwin, but I hear that he didn't die even after that. His mutant power supposedly made him adapt to where he actually turned into (living) pure energy. I guess its relatable to Dr. Manhattans cellular composition from the Watchmen.

  • he rocks... so does nightcrawler : )

  • I would have so loved to link this video to my brother on Facebook to show him what Darwin was all about, but y'know...the song. No thanks.

  • @ChocoboDreams just give me a suggestion & i'll change the song...

  • @ironcolossus4 Oh wow, that was 3 weeks ago? Felt longer. Anyway, the song is fine. Really. It fits the video. YOUR video. I just don't think my brother would last long with the song there. I was more so disappointed that there wasn't a decent video aside from your own for Darwin's origin. So, really. The song is just fine how it is. :3

  • @ironcolossus4 Pharoah Monch ft Common and Talib Kweli - The Truth.....instrumental works better or go with Outkast - E.T. The latter song works better.

  • @ironcolossus4 something instrumental, and stoic?

  • wait who was waiting in the lobby? WHO WAS WAITING IN THE LOBBYYYYYY?!

  • @fieldninjai Moira MacTaggert...

  • @ironcolossus4 How about "Our battles" by Maria Mena for the second half -instead of repeating the song, or choose Evanescence, lacuna coil, flyleaf (Again, Okay, are good decisions) for the first part. But yeah, this was amazing and I never would've been able to find out the story without this video. So thank you! :) Don't be worried about all the comments telling you about the song. This video isn't about the music

  • @ironcolossus4 I think that June Mermaid would be a perfect replacement song, you would probably have to re-upload the video though.

  • This song sux azz...

  • in the movie he has hair ???

  • not really he dies reall early on in the movie

  • darwin is awesome but unfortunally die in the movie :( but i think is not really dead because is a badass xD

  • I love the dude that played him in the movie

  • why is Darwin not considered an Omega level mutant? is it because he can only manipulate himself and not the world around him?

  • @luleymoon Probably because he is black? Racism?

  • @luleymoon

    Darwin can't really manipulate himself. He has no control over how his abilities manifest themselves, and his powers are usually directly related to his own survival, and not necessarily winning a battle. When he fought the Hulk, originally, his body adapted to absorb Gamma radiation. Hulk put off way too much to absorb, so Darwin's body decided the best way to survive was to teleport himself across three states, essentially taking himself out of the fight...

  • @Billcasey hey how did you know that, do you read comics? i always wanted to but i dont know where to get any...

  • @cjironcjiron

    A good place to find comics is a book store like Borders or Barnes & Noble. They also put out collections of several comics in book form. "World War Hulk" would be the one where Darwin encounters Hulk, and "Deadly Genesis" would be the one with Darwin's origin. You can also try Amazon.

  • @Billcasey awesome! thanks

  • i want a power! :(

  • Thanks for uploading this video about Darwin's history. I became really interested in him after seeing the movie recently and like many others was disappointed when he died. There's a debate about whether he died or not, but either way, I think he should have had a bigger role in the movie. His powers were way cooler than the guy who had powerful hands for feet and the girl who had wings (Zoe Kravitz's) character too.

  • @iPursueHappiness you don't watch or read xmen alot do you? lol

  • @myghtyt No, I don't. My opinion was solely based off of the X-Men First Class movie.

  • I dont think he can die that easy

  • Darwin will come back. This is the mutant who when taking punishment from the Hulk mutated so that he teleported away. He can exist in a gaseous form after exploding - far to interesting a character to kill off completely.

  • Darwin is totally awesome, thanks for uploading this

  • YA RIght. Bullshit hes coming back. If hes coming back how come you never see him in any other xmen movies?

  • @Watermymelons I absolutely agree! Darwin is not in the first three X-Men movies and they are based after X-Men First Class.

  • @JonnEarl actually no theyre not.

  • HES GUNNA COME BACK YOU IDIOTS

  • Last two X-Men movies have a black actor playing a mutant getting killed half way thru the film. I don't understand the point of even placing black actors in comic movies just to kill them off. Just use all white actors! If I was the black actor, I woundn't play the part. Why no Static Shock movie? We all know the answer to that! If Static Shock was a white character the movie would have been out by now. It's not all that serious but, that is the main reason most blacks don't watch comic movies.

  • @JonnEarl static shock, i put a shock to your system. amazing!

  • More!! More!! I WANT TO READ MORE OF HIM!!!

  • he's suppose to be a genius, why did they make him a taxi driver in the film..that's so wrong.

  • @PublicICON Probably because he is black? Racism?

  • Thank you for posting this. I'm more convinced that ever they wasted this character on X-Men First Class.

  • Thanks for the history of this character.

  • i did like x men first class but there were a few things in th movie that bothered me.they had 2 black people in the whole film.not even the army men had at least one.im not sur some caught on when they said some will be slaves.and it focused on darwin.then they said or u can be gods..and the camera focus on the white person.the most obvious is the black person dying first. second. the black girl found in a stripper bar and also didnt hesitate to turn her bac on others. hollywood brainwashing

  • @beckstar2010 Exactly! The only two mutants to die were Sebastian and Darwin. They gave Sebastian, the murderer, a grand theatrical death but darwin was an early casualty, despite being the early hero( tries to rescue Angel). If they didn't want a black man in the movie, then why did they cast one?

  • @beckstar2010 well it was set in the 1960's, so yes, it would fit with the prejudices of it's time. So while today we can pick up on that, in that era that would be commonplace, so fits with the time period.

  • darwin didnt die in the movie "first class", he just evolved, he still exists as a being of energy, he'll get his corporeal body back sometime

  • This song made no sense with the story Darwin what's so ever plus I hate this this song a girl comes out with a song about a guy cheating it's a great song the girl is strong but a guy comes out with a song about a girl cheating he's an ass hole or there has too be a remix about the girls side of the story

  • how did she get access to online comics? does anyone have any idea?

  • @DaCh3z Don't  trivialize these movies ongoing agenda to devalue non-whites.

  • SPOILER ALERT: darwin dies it was obvious all white cast with one black guy who do think is gonna die first?

  • @eman198 I dont think he dies though, because i read somewere that in the comics he can turn himself into pure energy. I think he did that.

    Oh and on that black guy white cast note, i laughed when that guy said "are we to be enslaved or.." (something like that) and it zoomed in on him when it said enslaved.

  • @TJLXLR8 i think it was supposed to be emotional but no one cared it was just annoying even the white people felt there was no need to kill him

    as for the pure energy thing it could be true but i doubt that he is coming back

  • spoiler black guy dies and one of the only mutants to die and at one point in the movie the main antagonists mentions slaves and the camera gives a full headshot of him lmfao shit was too funny

  • @yinrjekyllyanghyde thank god i thought i was the only one that noticed that my brother who saw the movie with me said i was crazy.

    

  • @MellowJelloJiggler naw it wasnt a dream it really happened

  • SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

    it was really sad so i was at least happy it was emotional. but its kinda bullshit cuz he was the only leader in that scene and im pretty sure in the comics worse things have happened to him and he never dies. i hope he is still alive somehow cuz the actor was really good too...

  • Yep they killed off the only black guy in XMen First Class. In Transformers, Jazz was killed the same way.

    White Male Supremacy is what the comic book films are about.

  • @Stablemable2: I agree nut then why keep Storm around?

  • @sugarzman Then ask yourself this, why cant you see an all black superhero team?

    Hollywood only show 1 black male or 1 black female, at best, in most films (big budget action).

    In the 21st century?

    But if your tolerant of the message showing blacks as pawns in movies then your brainwashed.

  • @Stablemable2 :I agree but then why keep Storm around?

  • @Stablemable2 or they just needed to kill of a character, why not darwin

    not like he was that good of a mutant anyway. no big deal

  • @AJ4Prez2008 Really? The ability to adapt to ANY situation and survive it isn't as that good? Come on dude.

  • @Stablemable2 It may not be true, but thats exactly how it appears.

  • song?

  • he seems like an interesting character

  • in the First Class was the first mutant to die and he was black....

    he was getting cool

  • I'm ready to see this movie! It will not be out in Japan until the 11th...Ughhhhhh!

  • I'm ready to see this movie! It will not be out in Japan until the 11th...Ughhhhhh!

  • What could kill him I wonder, how would he adapt to stop being blown up. Maybe become amorphous and pull back together, turn into something like taffy or putty that could work.

  • Very odd story since it is full of cliches (bullies, parent stuff) and yet also wildly original.

    Great job editing ironcollossus btw.

  • Darwin is now my favorite mutant

  • haha suicide fail

  • New favorite Superhero, Besides Gambit of course.

  • It will be hard to have a character like darwin in a movie. Since he's black, he's gonna be put on the back burner storyline wise, however with someone as powerful as he; it doesnt make sense that he doesnt play a heavy role. I mean on paper he is the most powerful mutant in the movie

  • @PsyPstorm damn soooo true... which sucks cause he seams pretty damn sweet. if hes barely in this movie ima b pissed

  • @PsyPstorm actually he become a paler coulor

  • @megatron45ful

    in the movie hes black

  • who was the lady?

  • @DeepBlueSkyy you mean the lady who goes to see him at the end of the video??? it was Moira MacTaggert

  • This sounds like a great character. But I hate the fact that First class does not have Cyclops and Jean. They are the first two students. How can you have the first class without them?

  • @Teatime7771 because the point of first class is to deal with segragation and the cuban missle crisis, and if cyclops and jean were in it, then they would be 50-60 in x men 1, and scott would not be in highschool in origins

  • @GameCreatorJJ Than why have Havok.  He is suppose to be younger than Scott. Now he is older? Makes no sense. Niether does having Emma Frost in it. She was in hthe Wolverine movie so how does that match up with this film. AGAIN CRAP!! Scott could have been a teenager in this film. That would have worked. THIS FILM SUCKS!!

  • @Teatime7771 emma is a powerful telepath, so it could go 1 of 3 ways, she is from 60s and using her mind powers to make people think shes younger, she is forced a youth serum, she is a differant character, Havok probably wont have relation to scott, maybe older bro, or dad? if scott was a teen in the film, like fox wanted, then it would have taken away the vision set by mathew , and he wouldnt have put any effort into it, it would have been a crappy film with crap versions of characters you lke

  • @Teatime7771 This movie takes place in the 60s. Meaning in order for Scott to be a teen in THIS film...he'd had to of been born in the 40s or 50s. Which would make him around 50 in the 2000 X-Men movie. That would throw his entire timeline off and would make no sense. Especially since they already established him as a teenager in the Wolverine movie (which took place in the 80s). Now...as far as Emma Frost. No clue why the decided to mess with her timeline and I too don't like it.

  • @Nemle22 They shouldn't have attached this to the orginal franchise. They should have just rebooted the comic. Why make Havok older than Cyc now? That is not true to the comic. Havok is suppose to be Cyc's younger brother not older or his father. This whole movie sucks. I am waiting til it comes out on dvd. Then I will rent it.

  • @Teatime7771 None of the movies have been true to the comics. Why would they start now? o.O

  • @Nemle22 At least Thor, Green Lantern and Captian America look good.

  • @Teatime7771 I can't wait for all of them. Even this one. ^.^

  • @Teatime7771 They wouldn't be able to with this film taking place in the 60s.

  • the day he realized he could breathe underwater if he wanted to.
