Warpath Dylan, an expert on the X-Men character Warpath, joins the conversation. Warpath is a Native American superhero who first appeared in X-Force #3 in 1991.

While there hasn't been an indigenous writer specifically for Warpath, there have been indigenous writers involved in the X-Men comics.

The conversation covers various topics related to the character Warpath, including his appearance, powers, relationships, and the Uncanny Experience event. The hosts discuss Warpath's physical attributes, such as his height and muscular build, and the possibility of cosplaying as him.
