Mutant powers:

(DUMB LUCK) Big Trouble can uncounsciously generate a special energetic aura able to "warp" the probability lines trepassing the fabric of the reality surrounding him, to the point each minimum negative effort he does can instantly translate into the maximum positive result. The chance warping also acts as a kind of protection, since through simple acts as to run or to be steady on a place it activates itself and works as an "answer" to either any type of external attack (bullets; weapons; lightening bolts) and incidental factor of menace.
It's not known the extent of this power, since it was never tested.

(REFLEXES) Neuronal impulses enhance his physical reactions and allow them to be perfectly tuned with the optical perception.


Acquired powers: state of self-confidence induced by the Six-Demon Bag serum (a miscela of wind and fire condensed).

Wow, this confused the hell out of me for a second. I never saw Big Trouble in Little China (just wikipedia'd it now), so my initial reaction to the thread title was that some guy named Jack Burton was announced as playing "X-Man" (Nate Grey, son of Cyclops and Jean) and I was all kinds of confused. Now I get what you mean...

also, terrible thread.

TERRIBLE because you don't even read UNCANNY X-MEN. Everyone loves Big Trouble/Jack Burton. This thread is pure gold, man.:spidey:

No, this means nothing, Peter Mayhew is signed on for an Ep. VII, VIII, & VIIII, will that ever happen? no

I hope they will find the right actor, because KURT RUSSELL is too old to play this character.:daredevil

What's the problem, 'Cyclops'? Are you trying to act as a true American bad-as*? Pick up a new character, then. Cyclops is an intelligent being... despite the portrait they give of him in the movies.

Jack Burton is a character from a John Carpenter movie and has absolutely nothing to do with the X-Men whatsoever.

I can't believe this thread is still open.

The only man that comes even remotely close to Jack Burton (as far as coolness is concerned) is Snake Plissken.

I love Big Trouble in Little China. That said, it has nothing to do with the X-Men, so it makes no sense to talk about it here.

Too bad they didn't cast him in the previous X-Men films.

Muahah I have an idea they should cast Mathew Perry for a mutant, just kidding. But imagine...He'd probaly add the humor or some thing, it would be like a cross over between Friends/X-Men LOL. Any who I thought I read some where X-Men 4 was confirmed, some one gave me the link for it in another topic. If not Yahoo LOL.
