Why didn't we see Omega Red in any of the Wolverine movies? He's by far his best villain

Fpbp
Casual
They put him in Iron Man 2 for some odd reason
they did?
lol no that is Whiplash. Omega Red would be firmly under the X-Men umbrella of characters (even though his backstory references Captain America) and was owned by 20th C. Fox until the acquisition.
I'm gonna guess and say they never used Omega Red because you either change him or spend a massive amount on FX to bring him to the screen and risk having it look silly (see what happened with Apocalypse). Also his superpower is a fart joke. He's just a hard character to do seriously.
>Also his superpower is a fart joke.
No it's not? His tentacles are pretty cool and allow for some spectacular action.
>Also his superpower is a fart joke.
>literal death aura
>fart joke
Are you serious? We've gone from any story or character involving poison gas being "fart jokes" to a life-draining death aura being one too?
There are too many five year olds here, and you had an actual point about needing to spend a lot of money on making him work on screen, as well as needing a really tall jacked guy who can actually act.
listen nobody cares about your poo gas super villain. Why don't you stan for a decent one like Lady Deathstrike or Sabretooth?
His power isn't even gas, you moron. It's a thematic contrast with Wolverine. Logan has a healing factor that heals himself, Omega Red has a death factor that kills everyone around him. Not everyone in the Wolverine rogues gallery has to be bad guys with claws.
Badass hand tentacles >>> gay tiny claws like Sabrecuck has
Remember when they became friends in Greg Pak's Weapon X?
It would be really easy to make Omega Red a terrifying villain, him sucking the life out of his victims with sharp metal tendrils can be done without a fart joke about him expelling pheromones
It would be really cool to see him sink his tendrils into his victims veins and drain the life out of them that way.
He's doc oct from spider-man 2. Only dumber and with poison that fricks up wolverine. Not too hard to do.
Omega Red is a 1991 X-Men/Wolverine villain. Ivan Vanko from Iron Man 2 is an OC inspired by mixing elements of two 1960s Iron Man villains, Whiplash and Crimson Dynamo. A new comic version of Whiplash has since been introduced that's based on him.
The Soviet Union doesn’t exist anymore that’s why
Omega Red isn't a Soviet communist, he's the the product of Russia's own version of Weapon X, their own attempt to create a mutant super soldier, but they guy they experimented on was an insane serial killer, so naturally they lost control of him. He's normally a villain who happens to be Russian, rather than an agent of the Russian state.
just like Putin he puts on a tough facade but crumbles with any pushback.
I mean Laura could probably beat him.
Rent free
Because the would have pulled a Sabretooth and mad him look like just a guy.
In fairness, Sabertooth is just a guy...with long fingernails
Sabertooth is Wolverines beastial Shadow in a Jungian context
I'm pretty sure Wolverine is Wolverine's bestial Shadow.
Wolverine doesn't ever give in to it in the way Sabertooth does. Wolverine always still tries to be a hero and protect the weak. Sabertooth is the classic mentality of "the weak are meat and the strong do eat". Wolverine fighting Sabertooth is symbolic of his own inner battle with the shadow aspect of himself that is a monster like him
Or it's Romulus and all his "I am what you will become" talk.
Frick man I almost forgot about Romulus
He showed up earlier this year in that Wolverine event, during flashbacks to Logan's time in Japan.
Define 'best'? Because I'm not seeing it
