Alright somebody, I forgot who, asked for the powers of the X-Men that are gonna
be in the X-Men cartoon.  I'll do my best to explain the powers each X-Man has.

Wolverine- Healing Factor: Wolvie regenerates what ever damage he takes
                           in a matter of minutes.
                 Increased Senses: Wolvie can track/recoginize people by their
                                   smell.
                 Adamantium Skeleton: Wolvie's bones can't be broken.

Jubilee- Fireworks: Jub creates energy "sparks" that confuse/blind who
                    ever she aims them at.

Storm- Weather Control: Storm has complete control over the weather.  She can
                        even cause lightning to strike where ever she wants it.

Cyclops- Optic Blasts: Cyclops shoots "Force beams" from his eyes. Varying
                       affects.

Gambit- Charging items with an explosive energy: Gambit can charge any
                       inanimate object (usually playing cards) with his hands.
                       When thrown these objects hit with an incredible force
		       or they just explode.

Rogue- Absorption Power: Rogue can absorb the powers and the memories of
                         another person giving Rogue that person's powers and
                         memories and knocking that person unconscience.  If
                         Rogue is in physical contact with that person for too 
                         long she will gain that person's powers and memories
                         permanently.  The person is put in a coma forever.
       Increased Strength: Rogue's strength has been increased to I'd say near
                           Thing level because she completely absorbed Carol
                           Danver's powers, memories, and psyche.
       Resistance to Physical Harm: Rogue cannot be hurt by physical means.
       Flight: I think this is self-explanatory.

Professor X.- Telepathy: Chuck is the world's strongest telepath.  He can
                         read/transmit thoughts, and augment someone's control
			 over their power.

Beast- Increased Strength: self explanatory, I don't know his upper limit.
       Increased Dexterity: self explanatory.
       Prehensile Feet: The Beast can use his feet like hands.

Archangel- Increased Strength: self explanatory, I don't know his upper limit.
           Metal Wings: Very fast flight. Max speed unknown (to me at least)
                        Can shoot a large number of sharp metal blades.

Jean Gray- Telekenitcs: Perhaps the worlds strongest Tker.  her upper limits I
                        don't know.  She has a very fine control over her
                        power.
           Telepathy: I don't know if the show is going to use this, but Jean
                      is a VERY strong telepath.  Almost equal to Professor X.

These are the powers that each member of the team has. (at least as much as I
can figure out for the latest issues of X-Men and Uncanny X-Men)  Again these
are as close as I can get, but are at least the characters basic powers.  I did
not include Cable because I don't know if the show will have him, and I hope
the show doesn't.  I hope this help you people that haven't collected X-Men in
a while, and those of you who never collected X-men at all.
