greetings nerdy list aficionados and
welcome back to top 10 nerd today we're
going to look at alternate versions
from the future the past forget it
we want heroes from the time of hovercar
utopias or dystopian hellscapes
because that's usually the two options
we have boring futures need not apply
i'm sasha and these are the top 10
alternate versions from
the future
[Music]
number 10 old man deadpool the old man
or rather old character because there
was an old lady harley mini series as
well
really had a bit of a revival after
logan after some fans learned that some
elements from it were akin to old man
logan the comic and so flocked over
there in a rare display of horizontal
marketing without having to try too hard
so we had some other older versions
including old man deadpool
this occurred in spider-man and
deadpool's team-up book during the
period
of time when it was a versus deadpool
instead of a slash book because of their
friendship was on the fritz
i said it was a slash book and some
people who are into shipping will take
that another way and that's fine you do
you
although let's be honest even for the
most spidey pooliest out there amongst
you even when their friendship was on
the ups in that book series it was still
on the down and could use a bit of work
still that's what phantom and fanfics
are for so in this arc deadpool and
spiderman are at the same old folks home
and deadpool takes peter out for another
adventure as he has been ridiculed guilt
over being the person who cost him the
use of his legs and he actually gave him
a secret blood transfusion to keep him
alive
which has resulted in peter outliving a
lot of his friends and family
this accident was also where he learned
peter's secret identity this was
actually a cute romp and they ended up
traveling back in time and meeting their
younger selves but
based on how this comic ended at issue
50 with arresting the author thanks to
gwenpool
it doesn't really feel that anything
that happened in it will have too big of
a lasting impact
rip old man deadpool and peter number
nine nightwing
new order this nightwing comes from a
dark future where he has become a tyrant
a meta-human hunter
this is after the metropolis wars of
2028 so we've only got a few good years
left also if you're from the future
tell me how it was dick snapped after
bruce died during this conflict and so
he activated a device that nullified
meta-human abilities
and he became the leader of a group
known as the crusaders who dedicated
themselves to hunting down meta-humans
by 2040 he had been doing this
openly but he was met with a personal
dilemma on his son jake
jake jake grayson okay started to
develop meta abilities
there was a fight with batwoman who was
bitter because dick had become the
leader of the crusaders not her this arc
was actually pretty cool
r.i.p dick grayson your replacement rick
isn't cut again
i miss you every day booty memes on
twitter aren't the same number eight
young cable kills old cable this
happened in the arc extermination or
new extermination because you know
x-puns and extreme so both versions of
cable
are from the future but how far in the
future is what varies so part of getting
the young x-men
back in time and then back again we'll
explain that because that was what we
were doing for a time it was part of the
oh our main timeline has gotten
too convoluted people miss the classic
x-men so let's bring them forward in
time because that won't confuse anybody
then we'll just have them do great
things like
gene telling bobby that he's gay and
well did anything else really monumental
happen except for confusion that still
lingers with casual fans but then they
realized that that wasn't working so
they had to send them back
and hence extermination came in house of
acts is here to save us all from all of
this
may all of this canon matter yes but
never needs to be referenced again
so why did young cable kill old cable
well because his older version was soft
and weak and hadn't done his job
protecting the timeline which had
allowed the mess of the young x-men
going back in time to happen in the
first place which seems like a bit too
much to blame on cable but okay wibbly
wobbly time you want me they went back
to the past
young hot cable question mark is still
around
old cable was hotter but that's just me
we're moving on cable is always just
having different things happen to him
i'm sure he'll be old again
maybe he's old again already speaking of
old in at number seven
old man logan so we need to talk about
the classic logan story that started it
all off and also gave us a really creepy
hulk
this is actually a really depressing
tale about old man logan and his
mcguffin family
murdered so he can grotesquely kill the
hulk all of his family too
except for one little baby seriously
though this story is cool america
divided up into factions heroes all but
extinct people living in fear venom
t-rex
so the one issue i have with this story
is the idea
spoiler for a story that's over a decade
old that logan could kill
all the x-men and that they wouldn't
have even been able to subdue him or
knock him out yes he is a wolverine and
wolverines are fierce creatures
but like storm gene everybody
really i don't know it's a cool story
though and him battling the red skull
totally worth it
the fights in this comic are all amazing
number six
deathwing ah deathwing the dick grayson
from the future who'd be retconned to
not being dick and then just be an
entirely different character in rebirth
just because why not
if you can make something confusing in
comic book continuity that's
always the choice to go with well i mean
the rebirth one thinks he's dick grayson
but initially the first death wing was
dick from the future from an edgy
timeline where he was fighting lord
chaos
this would be retconned to him just
being some guy who had been implanted
with memories from dick grayson
why because he became a rapist that's
why we can't have that that dystopian
titan's future had some grunge fashion
choices and that's honestly what i
remember the most about it
because if you stare at deathwing too
long he has nipple piercings these are
the things i spend my time thinking
about
some people think about stats or power
levels i think about how high 80's
nightwing's collar was and how he
probably always hit the back of his head
against it how starched was it to stay
up like that
inquiring minds need to know all these
details together
flesh out the universe number five
spider-man rain ah
spider-man rain the peter who killed mj
with his radioactive semen but so much
more happened than that
this mini was four issues and also
featured an old spider-man so in this
world it's 30 years in the future and
most crime is gone but only because of a
super aggressive police force called
rain
peter is in his early 70s and he's a
florist and he is lured back to action
by memories of his past and the
brutality of reign who upon his return
released some of his greatest and also
geriatric villains to take him on
it's a really depressing comic and every
time i read it i'm sad
number four batman earth 12 batman
beyond or batman
of the future that's what the show is
called in europe so terry mcginnis was
the batman of the future of the dcau a
teen who took up the mantle after
meeting bruce wayne while being chased
by some members of the jokers a gang who
idolized the original joker after the
death of his father he would steal the
bat suit and take action with bruce
taking him on as batman and acting as
his mentor
people really enjoyed this series but in
comics it takes place on
alternate earth because there's way too
much existing continuity for that to be
the natural progression of the future
plus you know damien terry is still
around in his own comics so i mean not
at this exact instance that's timeless
recording but they're worth a read if
you love that universe and want to see
more action within it
number three future flash or blue flash
so this is the flash from the future
who's not
impulse so this version of the flash was
barry allen from 20 years in the future
who was racked with guilt or feeling
responsible for the death of wally west
so what did he do he started killing his
rogues so that he could gain enough
speed to go back in time to prevent
wally's death obviously he would
ultimately end up in a battle with his
past
self and end up trapped there always a
risk when you time travel
you may not be going back so hopefully
you like the past and everyone there
likes your slick blue costume
are you menaced by the dark blue costume
will you sleep again
i shouldn't joke like that not with some
of the scary lists we've done at home
we'll like to stand on number 2
spider-man 2099 it's that 1299 comic
that most people remember
spider-man miguel o'hara the head of the
genetics program at alcomax he was
trying to create
super soldiers called corporate raiders
i was trying to make
them like spider-man a historical figure
who inspired him however after a human
test subject dies
miguel wants to quit but his boss tyler
stone
what a name won't let him and instead
gets him addicted to drugs that the
company will supply him with or he can
go get them on the street and get
arrested so miguel tries to rewrite his
dna because the drug has bonded to it
and bingo bongo spider-man because one
of his subordinates sabotaged the
machine
you know part of what made miguel stand
out is that his origin was so
interesting it has a very
cyber punky feel to it especially with
all the corporacy stuff and his costume
looked amazing the black the red it's
striking
miguel felt complete and his story had
stakes it's no wonder he's the one most
people think of when they think of 2099
heroes
marvel's planning a huge 2099 blitz
designed to make you have to go collect
them all like pokemon so get ready to
see miguel again along with a bunch of
other 2099 characters old and new that
you may or may not care about number one
superman of earth 2 slash all the earth
2 heroes really classic earth 2.
earth 2 heroes appeared at the dawn of
earth 2 and the future by default
this started when the silver and golden
aids flashes met earth 2 became a refuge
for dc's heroes from the golden age so
that they could publish both types of
comics at the same time
so on earth 2 the timeline had still
been in motion from the start
so you had an older superman and batman
in circulation
along with all the other characters also
just being older which allowed those
stories to continue on alongside the
adventures of their younger counterparts
these versions would meet often and
eventually would have plots so
convoluted that dc would feel the need
to collapse earth 2 and the multiverse
in general
only to bring it back years later this
was actually a really chill and clever
way to have a concurrent future back in
the day
so those were 10 alternate versions from
the future
future me has so many two-faced shirts i
can feel it who's your favorite
alternate from the future let me know
