	true... and she was a model before she took up superheroing....
	but cyke's reaction was a bit more than jsut checking out a girl in a 
  skimpy outfit... i usually don't completely lose my mind when i look at a 
  woman.. dunno about the rest of the males tho...    8)

	bwwwaaaahhhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhaha
   did i hear the lines finish and plotline together while talking of the x-men
   one of the basic things that used to pop up from time to time was the 
   canonical list of dangling plot line for the x-men... 
	the hellfire storyline will occupy writers for a really long time...

	true it has been used to excess... but the way marvel runs things is 
  this (and i agree with it)... whatever happened to a character happened...
  whether it happened in the future or the past... going into the past can 
  only change the course of the "main stream" of the timeline.. all other 
  timelines and realities are jsut different versions of the "main stream"
  case in point... guardians of the galaxy.. vance astro while in the present
  (a few years ago) visited himself to make himself never do the things he did
  and he even awakened his powers in his younger self (which is why vance is a
  member of the New Warriors, but that is something wholly different)... what
  happened in his past was still his past while the future as far as the 
  "main stream" is still maleable....
	hence racheal's and bishop's time line's will never come to pass.. but
  they are as real as the present that they are in right now...

	true.. but we have the plot device of an alien lover who is the head of
  a star faring race (L'lilandra of the Shi'ar).. most of thier technology is
  given to them from the Shi'ar.. the rest is just because they happen to know 
  a few super-genius's and have forge to come up with any gizmo they so desire.
