Hey geeks! Which of these X-Men would you rather be and why?

Wolverine: Foot-long adamantium claws and amazing healing capabilities

Storm: Ability to control the weather

Jean Grey: Telekinesis and also some telepathic ability

Pyro: Ability to manipulate and direct fire

Magneto: Ability to control and manipulate any metals

Dr. Charles Xavier: Amazing telepathic ability and the capability to control others' minds

Cyclops: Can shoot frickin' laser beams from his eyes

Rogue: Can copy others' powers by touching them, but also hurts the one she copies

Mystique: Shape-shifting

Sabretooth: Great strength and the abilities (and features) of a saber-toothed tiger

Nightcrawler: Teleportation! Unfortunately, you also look like a blue devil, with pointy ears and a long tail and all.

Shadowkat: The ability to clip--or walk through walls

Avalanche: Can control the earth's tectonic plates--and you know what that means...

Quicksilver: Super speed


Yes, I am a mega-geek--why do you ask? :P

Edit: Added Nightcrawler and some of the others from X-Men: Evolution

so i can throw sparkLes that temporariLy bLind my opponents.

and blow up stars.

Now *that* would be cool.

david

Plus, she's hot.

No getting up to get a beer.

Then I could put an end to this Social Security privatization nonsense once and for all. Of course, that's just for starters.

Of course there are some others that were cool too, but Xavier was always so cool and level-headed. :)

So I could speak in a cheesy "New Orleans" accent.

Big strong man with metal skin beat stuff up good!

Except without the psychosis.
IIRC, he could "control reality" within a limited area around himself.

Or the alternative Phoenix... the one with the spikes and the dog collar, Rachel Summers.

Nothing beats friggin laser eyes!

If I could not dodge a bullet... take a round in the head!


... and push the damned thing out of my head w/o even needing to be conscious!

... oh, and that's just in the friggin' movie :)


:bounce:

The only scene I hated in the entire second movie. Because of his adamatium skeleton, it should have bounced off his skull plate. I'm such a total geek.
:freak:

I sorta knew my post would snarl some with the inherent "flaw."


That said... awesome healing, aint bad!! :bounce:

I thought it smoshed up agaisnt his skull, then fell off when the skin healed. I thought he fell just because it stunned him.

There is just too much mischief that I could get into with that shape shifting ability

She's my choice too.

better learn to sing in a hurry too.

If so I'll take some lessons.

I might go ahead and get a Michael Douglas thing going on for CZJ as well.

have you ever watched him perform? He embodies sex appeal. Oh my gosh! You wouldn't know it just looking at a picture of him, but the guy is hot when he sings. You just know he's got to be great in .....
this is getting into forbidden territory so I'll stop here.

Magneto. You can do so much with metal these days-think of the possibilities.

Crush SUVs like tin cans, for starters.

Beast, Iceman, Angel come to mind.
I like the beast, he is one of the smartest, and he bounces. Also, he went solo and did a stint with the Avengers as a hairy beast.

Thanks for the reminder. :)

being able to shape shift would just be too cool

:hi: :hug:

fairly normal appearance- no bank vault can stop me, and no (non-plastic) jail can hold me.

otherwise- Mystique.

Cool, I love New Orleans.

Is that a real superhero?

I have red hair and grey eyes and I enjoy mouthing people.
I'll ask my brother later if that is the right one (he loves comics).

You've always wanted to be a little blue demon who can teleport, right?

Turns out I was just on drugs (whoops!).

Before your time, I dare say. Shazam!

I think he's fantastic!

thought of being a pet.... hrmnmm

Now that would be cool. Some of them are lame. Who wants claws like wolverine?

no question, for me

Charles Xavier because of his telepathic abilities

I could be stroked by Shadowcat all day.

I like the idea of merely looking at someone and blowing them into oblivion. :evilgrin:

Or Professor X. Reading minds just sounds very cool. You'd know who to avoid, hit on, etc. :evilgrin:

not anti as is in the guy who created the Sentinels. Rather, I wanted my "power" to be immunity to OTHER mutant's power. Prof X couldn't read my mind or move me, Cyclops' eye-beams would be like a red flashlight, Kitty could not phase through me, etc. (Of course, then I could touch Rogue and visa-versa. :evilgrin: )

Her (known)attribites are:
metamorphic shape-shifter with a perfect cell memory able to rearrange the formation of her cellular structure in order to:
- take on any human appearance she wishes
- adapt specific genetic traits such as night vision, finger talons, or body armor
- heal surface tissue damage
- suppress her natural aging process
- reboot her genetic template to withstand all pathogens and poisons.

But I might choose a New mutant - Illyana...


Can we choose from other Marvel Universe characters? I wanna be a Beyonder...although Galactus would also be kind of cool, as would the Silver Surfer...

They just kicked so much ass. :) Or maybe Lady Deathstrike. Decisions, decisions...
