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).

 

NO. An Hope.

 

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

 

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

 

Cyke,

Moderate yourself.

You should appreciate such genius post.

 

An intelligent and brilliant person, provided with wit an humour.

 

Ehm, no. Wine.

 

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.

 

What's wrong with this thread? It's fun.
