Which of the X-mens powers would you like to have?

[Xin Rong]

"It'd be cool to have Jean's powers. Telekinesis rocks! But what about X-men villains? It'd be awesome to have Mystique's powers."

I wanted to put mystique but she was a villain which is why i put morph i mean he basically has the same ability, as far as i know

 

[slayerpower]

Well, I never heard of Morph. But cool power.

 

[Xin Rong]

I dont know if he's in comics but hes in cartoons, was an x men who was presumed dead but returned after it was discovered he wasnt dead but was under the control of mr sinister i think

Yeah, Wolverine's healing factor slows his ageing, but doesn't stop it. In the comic, he looks like he's in his early forties, but he's well over a hundred, probably born in the late 1800's. I dunno, I quite fancy hanging on to my youthful fabulousness for a while. 😀

Jill is right on here. In the comics there have been a few references to Logan fighting with the Canadian troops at Monte Cassino in Italy during WWII, and running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain with Ernest Hemingway in the 1920's (most of these references are from Alpha Flight I think). He was drawn in a way that made him look virtually the same age as the "present day" of the comic he was appearing in. Also, in Uncanny X-Men [HASHTAG]#141[/HASHTAG] and [HASHTAG]#142[/HASHTAG], he is shown as having grey in his hair for the first time, but he still appears younger than a 40+ Kitty (Kate) Pryde.


Wolvie or Storm. I'd take either's power.

 

[MentPatient]

Yeah, I remember something about Logan being in a special team during WWII. He and Captain America, or something.
Logan ended up helping Magneto escape from one of the camps.

Mystique has a shitty power. It's just glamours, not an actual active power.

I'm pretty addicted to X-Men Legends right now, so I'll answer this one. Even though my favourite X-Man is Rogue since back in the day, I don't think I'd want her powers. I'd probably like to have Storm's. How about Forge?..His powers could make a better mp3 player than the ipod, I bet.

 

[Soulgasm]

hmmm....how bout banshee...

cause then....i could....create the greatest metal band ever....i'd make people's ear drums bleed....judas priest and chris cornell would have nothing on me...lol...

 

[Xin Rong]

I often wonder if it ever occurred to anybody at Marvel to look up the literal meaning of the word Banshee. It's an anglicisation of Bean Sidhe. Which means "Fairy Woman." Poor old Sean must have been beaten up so much in the Uperhero playground...

 

[KittyFantastico]

I'd take either Jean and Rouge's powers. I've never watched this show (it is a show?) but out of all the awesome powers mentioned, I could definatley have the most fun with these two powers!

 

[SpikedBuffy]

I agree with the lazies..... Jean Grey... moving things with my mind. Working for things is so overrated! 🙂

 

[Jill_Valentine]

I'll say this for Jean Grey: she had one moment of blinding, total kickass coolness when she kicked Sabretooth's ass. That was... that was Buffy-mashing-Glory levels of cool.

I've always liked Jean because of her level of power. A lot of people complain about how they've given her too much power, but I find it fascinating. She was originally a powerful telepath/telekinetic; however, after her encounter with the Phoenix force, she was one of the most powerful creatures alive. And there's already been mentioned that her telepathy surpassed Xavier.

I would be a fan of Rogue's power if she was able to permanetly absorb powers (like she did with Ms. Marvel) and not have to drain their life force out and put them in to a coma.

 

[Jacklyn]

Oooh! I did a thread YEARS back on this. It was, like, on of my very first threads!

I think I would love Jean Grey's powers. I'm big on the telepathic stuff. I like the idea of getting into people's heads 😉

 

[Willow Rosenberg]

Definitely Mystique....

I would so love to be able to look like whoever I want. Plus I can have a different guy for each of my alter egos... 🙂

 

[Emily]

being a telepath would be...COOL BEANS!!!!!!!!!

i would soooooo love that!! i would never carry my bag it would float beside me !!

 

[Xander]

Still havn't seen X2, been meaning to. Might see if I can borrow it from someone. Plus I want to play X-Men Legends.

Anyway probably Jean Gray as well, just cause telekenisis would come in so useful. Unless someone can teleport (long distances, Nightwolf can only do short distances can't he? Im not sure) then perhaps them. See im even lazier 😉

 

[SlayersDestiny]

I have to agree with OM. I would have to choose Storm, particularly if I didnt want to go to work, poof... instant snow storm or on a hot day perhaps a little wind to cool it down. To control the elements would be awesome.. kind of like mother nature.

Is my ageing brain failing me, or wasn't Nightwolf a Mortal Kombat character?:: teeth :

But yeah, Nightcrawler can only do short distances, and leaves behind the smell of Brimstone. Given that Sulphur smells not unlike a dead pig's digestive tract, that can't make him very popular.

X2 isn't nearly as good as X1. Doesn't have the heart, somehow. Also, as I may have mentioned, I find Jean Grey mind-numbingly boring, despite Famke Janssen and I think I may have had my fill of Wolverine too. Somehow Rogue/ Wolverine isn't quite as sad and endearing as Jubilee/ Wolverine.

 

[Xander]

Im getting my mythos confused obviously, yeah I meant Nightcrawler. Although if I were him I'd just keep teleporting near my brother, just to annoy him.

My re-interst in X2 is cause of Famke, as I've just watched Nip/Tuck. Ah well, will still see it at some point im sure.
