How about they introduce forge...

[CB Fan]

I was thinking what if they introduced forge in x-4(if they do it)and have him be someone working undercover for the government. They send him to the x-mansion to secretly investigate what is going on there(cause they get a leak/hunch that Xavier's school for gifted yougsters is holding a big threatning secret)he than meets and begans a thing(fake at first then he actually falls for her) with storm(despite logan's feeling that forge might be there for other reasons)while still investigating. He begans to start neutrilizing some of the stronger more threatning mutants powers,even storm's. After a while forge begans to feel a sense of belonging even uping some of the technology at the school(all of this while still under logan's eye). later some of the mutants began to not be able to use their powers and it causes a stir around the school, logan comes out it says its probably all forge's doing and storm(who we know doesn't have a lot of romance in these movies)doesn't want to hear it. In the end while fighting a vilain(the main plot line) storm can't use her powers and forge feeling guilty confesses. In the end forge restores storm's and the other mutant's powers and leaves,leaving storm feeling betrayed,upset and resentful...entering a more defensive and combative mood(kind of like her mohawk days in the comics).
All of this I figured would be a sub-plot and maybe take over the course of two more movies. I don't know I was just thinking and needed to write it out. So give me some feedback change it up if you wanna and make it even better.

I think this is perfect! What would have been even better though, is that in X3, Storm could have battled Phoenix, and to mock her attempt(spectacular and formidable, but inevitably futile against the Phoenix), Jean telekinetically launches a cure needle through the maelstrom and takes away her powers. She falls from the sky, maybe beast or angel catches her, and ends up taking out Callisto without her powers. Cyke and Charles and Jean are all dead by movie's end, so Storm, without her powers, takes over the school. Then do pretty much what you said should happen. Also, Gambit could be introduced as well(with thieving pasts connected to Storm) and have a love triangle of Gambit, Storm, Forge. Gambit and/or Forge could be working for either shadow government, Hellfire Club, or Sinister/Apocalypse, initially, one or both redeem themselves and come over to the X-men, one of them dying to save Storm/the X-men/World at some dramatic point. Thats a three movie arc, with the other characters having their own sub plots, but having Storm step up to the role she has had in the books, especially under Claremont's pen. This is a role Halle could really shine in and presents possibilities for characters like Emma Frost, Sinister, Apocalypse, Hellfire Club/Hellions to fight the (young) X-men under Storm and Wolverine's tutelage. Austrailian Outback Danger room Scene to pay homage to that classic era. Colossus, Kitty, Iceman, Rogue, Psylocke(Maybe that was just Kwannon who died in X3), Nightcrawler(?), Jubilee, Havok(?), Angel(!important for Apocalypse) others, comprise the main team, copious cameos by new mutants/gen x'ers around the mansion, not just random nameless muties.

hey yeah, introducing forge definately gives Storm a love interest, and therefore something for her to do (in the plot)

I've had people laugh at me for even suggesting Forge in an X-Men film. I think that it's a great idea and the one guy who reminds me of the character is:

ADAM BEACH




Slap a porn mustache on him and there you go...

I'd have him, like beast, be another X-Men alumni. The guy that built the Danger Room. Now, he's working under Trask to build Sentinels (you can say that DR sequence in X3 hinted at it) as a task force to take down destructive mutant criminals. Little does he know Trask has his own intentions. I suggest that because it seems the only way to make giant robots plausible is if they were built by a dude whose power it is to build anything.

Here my stance on the matter. Forge is a brilliant character but i see him very much like his cartoon self of the 90's animated series.

The way i see it, X-Men 1 to 3 was an introductory to the mutant world so X-men 4 to 6 is the grand revealing of some top mutant players.

Forge being one of them.

I am half and half wanting to see Forge in the movie but not as a main character. Why? because if there ever was a Spin off tv series i would say X-factor would be the safest bet to have him lead it. Only because of the animated series and the team he controlled during that time.

In the movies i feel he would be an alie to the x-men at first. Its all about Generations!

You have Professor X, Magneto, Beast and Moria's Generation. Then you have Cyclops, Storm, and Jean and also Wolverine even thought he is way older he maintains the age of this chataergory and then there is the elder students and the younger students.

Forge is up there with the Professor X, Magneto and Beast age range. And as a figure of leadership.

Like professor X - Forge needs to have some form of authority and power yet like how his character is portrayed needs to be involved with goverment issues.

In x4 i believe Forge should be a securatry to mutant something.

Because of Beast's premotion, he appoints a new fraction within the goverment called the Mutant Rights Act! and standing in the more forward roles to discuss these matters would be Hank McCoy, Emma Frost, Forge, Sebastian Shaw, Jean-Paul Beaubier - for alpha flight... not hudson cos hes really not that interesting.
