Description
As revealed on Marvel.com: marvel.com/images/gallery/seri…'90s X-Men insanity continues in our series of X-MEN '92 variant covers, where we're playing "What If?" a bit, imaging what it might've looked like if the classic X-Men vs. Arcade storyline from the comics had been adapted for the Animated Series. Add in the American Gladitor vibe, murderbots, and sharks-with-laser-beams-on-their-heads, and you've got the perfect (most egregious?!) concoction of '90s nostalgia possible!!
Marvel's Secret Wars is rad. This is part of it. Buy a copy!

Now THIS is Arcade as he should be: loud, tacky, over-the-top, and always entertaining. None of that nihilistic whining nonsense from Avengers Arena, just a assassin who loves his job even if he knows he's gonna lose.

This reminds me of that time Wolverine told Gambit about life-saving:
NEXT TIME I TRY TO SAVE YOUR LIFE, HAVE THE SENSE TO LET ME DO IT!
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK DERE GON' BE A NEX' TIME?
... well that next time has come.

Arcade: "I want Wolverine and Gambit to fight each other on wobbly podiums with padded sticks over a tank of sharks with lasers attached to their heads. Hahahahahahaahah this is going to be good"
And on the monitors in Arcade's lair Battelbots, Gladiators and Austin Powers are playing

Question: Why does this have a "breast expansion" tag? Was it supposed to be "beast"? Otherwise, nice job.

Wolverine: "Remy, are we fighting with jousting sticks over a tank full of sharks with laser attached to their frickin' foreheads?"
Gambit: "Wi, mon ami."
Wolverine: "Sometimes it's just great to be us, you know?"

Ha ha. Yup, that's pretty much the feeling, isn't it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They were the only characters to have that kind of attitude, too. Everybody else got into philosophy or depression... Every so often, Gambit or Wolverine would go "You know, sometimes we have pretty awesome lives."
