True, but in any 'fantasy' type setting (including SF and superhero) there
is such a thing as suspension of disbelief. If you are able to suspend
your desbelief about something which is fantastic, then you enjoy the
story, if you are not then it detracts from the story. Obviously you
are able to suspend yours more than some people, who may require at least
some sort of pseudoscientific logic behind the fantasy. I probably fall
within the latter category to some extent - I must admit I had never
thought about Cyclops' recoil but now that it has been brought up I'll
probably never be able to see it without it irritating me (but probably
not as much as Lobdell's Excalibur fill-ins irritate me...:-) ).

   According to the Handbook to the Marvel Universe, the location of the

Eyes can appear to be different colors.  My eyes are hazel, but can 
have either a green or blue tint, depending on what I'm wearing or 
the lighting in which they're viewed.  I thought everyone with 
hazel eyes had this "affliction".  :)

Well, it's a neat theory, but I don't think it's going to work.  Stryfe is just
filled with too much hate.  I *don't* see him suddenly becoming rational and 
reasonable just because the two people he hates most *tell* him to, do you?

Stryfe is prolly going to try to kill everyone out of sheer spite, now.

And speaking of Cable and Stryfe, WHEN THE HELL IS CABLE #2 GOING TO COME OUT?

OK People.. let's get realistic here.

	3: everybody is listing well-known actors (or models) to

		we will ever see an all-star cast (heaven help us!)
		besides, Patrick Stewart along side ______ (name a 
		model/actress) shheeesh!!
	   an all-star cast would turn the X-men into --> Dick Tracy!!!
	ugh, awfull.  I would rather see unknowns play these roles.

Though it was definitely bad writing, I think Wolverine was looking
for more of a mental work out than a physical one.  The VR set up 
is better for this than the regular Danger Room because it reads 
personality into the constructs based on Wolverines thoughts and
memories of the person, not just some pre-programmed jabber to make
the fight entertaining.

Kitty wanted to attend Oxford but was not considered mature enough by the
school. They suggested that she attend a finishing school for a few months
before attempting Oxford.

*sigh*

Look, Cable has the technovirus.  That is the explanation for his "bionics".  I
know everybody's going to jump on me and say, "but what about Mindwipe - why
did his powers wipe it out... blah, blah, blah."  Well, I don't know!  Blame
it on inept writers!  That whole X-stink-tion Agenda was so discontinuous and
poorly written I won't discuss it any further!  

If we can assume that Stryfe is the same as Nathan, then dammit, Stryfe has
the technovirus!  He can control it like he did when he created that construct
of himself as an infant!

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he's wired to his whole complex, and in the 
last issue he makes it come alive to attack everybody.

Not to mention one small other spoilerish thing - that force field that Cable
and Alex fit through?  If it is genetically related (and you all know it is!)
then Cable and Stryfe have the same genetic structure.

At this point, my mind screams CLONE only because Stryfe calls Cable

"My failed brother"

God only knows how they'll explain all this...

This has _nothing_, absolutely _nothing_ to do with the x-books! the last
thing we need is a thread along the lines of "how do
Quicksilver's/Cyclops'/Rogue's/Impossible Man's power work?" dealing with
a character whose connection to the books in question is tenuous at best...

(I know, I know, wishful thinking...)

According to Fabian Nicieza, when Liefeld created Cable, he had no idea of
what his origin would be. Even the part about him being from the future was
added later. As for the end of NM 100, Fabian said he came up with the idea
of having Stryfe take off his mask and looking like Cable. When Harras heard
this, he said something along the lines of "Cool. So who is he?" But neither
Nicieza nor Liefeld had any idea at that point, they just thought it was a
cool idea.
