Nathan said:Psylocke. It was a slap with the dick to the face of all fans.
GhostPoet said:Not really. I heard she'd be in it...just not in what form. The movies are alternative versions of storylines...
Yurka said:Juggernaut, they completely screwed him over
Nathan said:I didn't want her to have a big part in the Movie, I knew she'd be likely just a cameo, but they couldn't even do that properly.
She was there, she did nothing, Ratner gave her the wrong powers, and then she got blown to bits.

How did you pick the mutants though, particularly the new characters with new powers?
Ratner: I just went through the comics and the materials and thought "this is cool"..they're what I thought was cool. Callisto and the sidekicks of Magneto, whoever I thought was a cool sidekick and I just wanted to go in and put some color into it. It's a multi-racial comic and I wanted to put some color to it. Halle Berry was the only person of color in the last few movies, so I wanted to bring some flavor, as they say.
But it seemed like a lot of them were actually created like the spikey guy, the Asian character..
Ratner: They were inspired by the comics. I took... for instance, Spike started as Kid Omega, but there was another character. I found one character that I liked and then I took the powers. For instance, Callisto has the power of another character who moves fast and has the telepathy thing. The girl from the wall looks like Psylocke but she has the power of one of the other characters. So I mixed and matched powers to service the story. Instead of having ten more actors in the movie, I just said, "You're going to have these three powers."

Powers:
psychic mind altered to produce telekinetic energies, allowing her to levitate and manipulate matter with her mind, propel herself through the air, project protective force screens, and generate focused energy blades that can sever the bonds between molecules and disrupt neural relays; immunity to all forms of telepathy
formerly: a connection to the Crimson Dawn that gave her a mysteriously altered astral form and enabled her to utilize shadows to teleport herself and others over great distances, telepathy and a psychic knife that disabled her opponents physically and mentally, wore a Captain Britain uniform that increased her strength and allowed her to fly, precognition
If I recall correctly, she gained these powers in the mid-to-late 90's and had them until she died.
