Didn't you see him smile in that scene? He was having fun...

Do they say that he is "Phat" in that clip??

No, but did they have a reason to?

They probably won't even say "Arclight" or "Quills" anytime in the movie..

Well people are saying that it is Phat. It didint seem likely that they would say Phat, but why is it Phat? Why cant it be Blob or any fat man?

No one else really has powers like that..

And um, the writers have said that he's in and isn't he on some casting sheet?

[Exploding Boy]

Alright, I've never read any casting sheets or stuff like that. Sorry for the confusion.

In the 7min clip, he reduces his size from the fatness to regular proportions as he sits down. Blob is unable to do this.

Once again, I havent seen the clip, so I wouldnt know that he did that.

 

[TNC9852002]

Oh!...Ok...That makes sense now..

The fact that there are all these C-list characters makes me think there will be pretty heavy casualties on the Brotherhood side.

Phat: Why not Blob?
Spike & Quill: Why Not Marrow?
Callisto's Speed and tracking abilites: Why not Caliban and Quicksilver?
Arclight: Why Not Avalanche?

 

[Moriarte]

This 'Phat' character also seems to be able to alter his clothing to fit

Oh, and the artwork of X-Statix (formerly X-Force, I think utnil sued by the original team) reminded me of Beavis and Butthead comics.

Though I did kinda like mister sensitive (so sensitive he could kinda read your mind by touching your head)...anywho.

how hard is it to understand...he goes from fat to thin in the scene hence phat.

 

[TNC9852002]

These movies need to be more about the popular characters, IMO...

It says something about the true number of characters that exist in the X-Men universe outside of the few dozens that have been popularized in the old issues...

That's why they depowered so many in the comics. It was getting to be too much.

I don't understand why they didn't use Caliban, I mean that would have been sweet a big monster looking guy. Was Callisto super fast in the comics? It said her powers were enhanced speed and strength but what she that fast?

 

[Exploding Boy]

Callisto just has super senses in the comics(sight,smell,hearing ect.) No super-speed.

People complain about the amount of characters...They take a liberty in order to neutralize or minimize the situation, and people still aren't happy...

Callisto is to X3 as what Toad was to X1...

-TNC

 

[Moriarte]

Caliban used to be a squeaky little thing until Apocalypse got a hold of him and enhanced his abilities as well as his stature.

Callisto's mutant ability(ies) enhanced her five senses, quicker reaction time, stronger, quicker-basically a very peaked human (as far as I understand). As to her speed in the movies, no, she was never, ever that fast.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

I like what they did with Callisto... they hightened all human abilities with her. Amonge her hightened sense, I'm pretty sure her agility, strength, endurance and of course her speed were heightened too. Just an extension of her powers. Not totally comic-literal, but not bad

 

[TNC9852002]

Yeah, that's how I was feeling, TOB...Her mutant tracking and her super speed are just like, amplified extensions of what her powers already were..

Pretty much the same with Toad and his tongue and stuff.. They both became more visually entertaining and intimidating..

-TNC

 

[The Original Bamfer]

(Man, I totally butchered Callisto's name in my post above... Ick, its late )

I want ugly Callisto, at least at the end

Enhanced speed yes, but withing reasonable levels. Likely speed of greater than that of an Olympian, but not nearly to the extent of a speed based mutant like Quicksilver or Northstar.

I can deal with the mutant tracking ability, but the Super-speed is a bit much IMO. I think it would've been really cool to have had Quicksilver in this movie. but maybe Marvel is saving him and Scarlet witch for the Avengers movie.

Hey they have some guy credited as playing Omega Red on IMDB


What's that all about?

A guy named Vincent Murdocco was mistakenly credited as playing Omega Red months ago,he really meant that he was playing one of the Omega Mutants. This rumor was further cemented by a picture of two men that the poster claimed to be Omega Red and Gauntlet. This poster was later revealed to be lying about his role in X3 and the picture's description was deemed fake.
He has appeared on cast lists on unrealiable sites ever since. Both Zak and Simon have outright said that Omega Red is not in X3. Maybe we'll see him in the Wolverine movie though

 

[Balthus Dire]

Ah okay. Thanks for clearing that up.
