We've all been overlooking one PERFECT person to be part of the movie:

 Michael Dorn (Worf of STTNG) as Bishop!

Although having 2 STTNG cast members is too much (P. Stewart/Prof X of course)
what can you do? they're both naturals for those roles.

OTHER PICKS:

Madonna sounds like a good White Queen IMHO
J.C. VanDamme might make a good gambit
Dolph Lundgren (sp?) as Colossus
Nicole Kidmann as Jean Grey!!!!!!!!!!!! hubba hubba hubba!!!
King Kong Bundy (wrestler) as the blob (hell why not?)
Patrick Swayze as Archangel
Charlie sheen as Cyclops
Hmm, this is actually harder than I thought...

Please don't flame me!!

	Actually, that is an easy one.  If my memory serves me, she actually
bends the light around her, making her appear "invisible."  Therefore,
she subconsciously allows light being bent to reflect other objects' light,
which gives any human the ability to perceive it.  Remember, even though she
doesn't do it much anymore, she has made certain articles of clothing disappear,such as a mask on someone..how I don't know, I'll leave THAT up to the

Last time I checked she got (yet another) 14th Birthday party from 
Saturyn (disguised as Courtney Ross). Or was it a 15th? Either way, the
girl is a long way from 18. She's also Jewish, so we'd want to keep
that in mind when selecting an actress (NO to Kathy Ireland).

What's the bottom line on her age - 14 or 15?

Something that nobody seems to have picked up on but which I thought was
pretty strongly hinted at both on the trading cards and during Stryfe's 
confrontation with Apocalypse was that Nathan-as-Stryfe seems to have 
been sent forward in time into Apocalypse's arms. This would explain
Stryfe's comments to and hatred for Apocalypse, and also the fact that
Cable (Nathan/Stryfe from another era or timeline?) possesses Apocalypse's
technology.

Well, it makes sense to me, anyway...

I think this sort of thing is exactly what Peter David has been trying
to play with in X-Factor.  It seems that the reason Pietro can
communicate with people is that he waits for them, and has worked to
talk slow enough.  For him, it's horribly boring, and stupid people
can be really irritating.  (Imagine you can already figure out what
stupid thing someone is going to say, and then you have to stand
there for a looooong time waiting for them to say it.  That's
Quicksilver.)

Of all the characters in X-factor, this characterization of Quicksilver
most attracts me to the book.  Imagine being so fast that your whole
perception of the world is fundamentally different than everyone
around you.  What a lonely time.

Howdy.  Just wanted to point out a boo-boo i noticed while i was looking

they list his first cover appearance as X-Men #254 and show that cover.
Unfortunately, the large, strong bald guy on that cover is Sunder, the
Morlock, not Guido.  Just a brain cramp, i suppose...

Hey! I have to admit that Hama made a lot of mistakes this issue, but I think
that the most important thing about this issue is character developpement.

This kind of stuff is usually seen only in independent comics, and is lacking
in Marvel.

The problem with Marvel is that if they start a new character and it fails to 
sell, they either drop it or forget it. On the other hand, if a character sells
well, it is in their interest not to change him, since they would only risk to
loose customers.

There are, of course, exceptions. Peter David took losers and turned them into
the best mutant team. Alan Davis "kills" Rachel at the top of her popularity.
But they are only isolated incidents.

Of course, issue #65 is not a major change in Wolverine's way of life, but still it explores his way of thinking that is something apart from: "I am the best
at what I do." Waddaya think?

For those who haven't read it, here's a summary of issue #65:
(God, I hope this thing works!)




































(Just in case...)

This issue starts with Wolvie fighting an holographic projection of Sabertooth,
where he can feel the pain. As Jubilee puts it, it's like punching a brick wall: you have to feel it for it to work.

Next, he is in a bar, he upsets a tough guy by winning at a game of pool.
Wolverine challenges him to a game of fist-fighting, where the guy hits him in
the face with a brass knuckle in the face; after that, it's Wolvie's turn.

Wolverine gets hit real hard (his jaw is dislocated, and his eyeball is out);
 before he hits back, Jean Grey arrives.

They talk. Wolverine tells him that the hardest part about suffering is that he
can't remember good things, because he doesn't know what is real and what isn't. Others, he says, can at least have scars, but his body keeps healing them up,
so he don't even have this.

His body keeps healing up outside, but it doesn't do nothing for the pain inside his soul. (Isn't it great?!)
Wolverine is then brought by SHIELD to... the cabin!

He finally makes peace with himself, knowing that the happiest moments of his 
life are indeed real.

Well, the fact that Nightcrawler did it without much hesitation was a bit
of a hint.  Since he's not an idiot, I doubt he's try anything truly chancey

I don't think so.  I think it was her 15th.  Her 14th B'day was
spent with the X-men, and they've made a point of mentioning the
fact she wasn't old enough to drive (legally) on the pages of
Excalibur.
