[Exploding Boy]

Ok i was reading x-men:the end book 3 and it mentioned gambit bieng Mr. sinisters clone. Was this ever mentioned in his own series?

No. The End is not cannon meaning it doesn't effect the main stories. He is only Sinisters son in that book, no others.

Ok so how in the Hell is Franklin Richards a Mutant? Seriously does he have an X Factor Gene I mean I always though he just became superpowered because of his parents.

Considering there are arguments over just what causes the X-Gene to develop, it is possible because of the cosmic radiation, any off spring of Reed and Sue would have the X-gene and therefore be a mutant.

Why would Weapon X have laced Logan's bones with adamantium? the guy already heals so anything an opponent throws at him is no problem and doesn't an entire body of metal have some disadvantages? I can see giving him the claws (or sheathing his natural claws depends on what the story is) for weapons but does he really need his big toe laced with adam.? Also, at least in X2, if Logan feels threatened in any way, his claws come out whether he wants them to or not. That seems to me to be a bug in the system.

They basically wanted to be able to do it and Wolverine's healing factor was the only one (aside from Sabretooth, depending on the writer) who could survive the process. Also, unbreakable bones become far more useful than a healing factor. Isn't it better to not have to heal the broken bone?

And comic Logan has far more self control than movie Logan, I can't see him popping his claws for no reason.

Have they ever addressed how long Storm can sustain control over the weather? If it is unlimited, then she ought to be out ending droughts and putting out huge forest fires rather than sitting around the mansion. The more logical storyline would be that she can only sustain it for short periods of time but I don't think I have ever seen that addressed.

Like most other mutants, I believe her control affects her physical well being. Plus I'm pretty sure it takes a lot more for her to create weather rather than manipulate already existing conditions.

Ie, she can made a snow storm in the desert but it will take a lot more out of her than it would to create a snow storm in the arctic north.

Can iceman freeze even the saltiest waters? I tried freezing this really really salty liquid called fish sauce in an ice cube maker but it didn't freeze at all!

Iceman is an Omega level mutant. He has the potential to cryogenically freeze the entire Earth, so I'm sure he could freeze salt water.

Okay - 2 not-so-stupid questions:

Why would Weapon X have laced Logan's bones with adamantium? the guy already heals so anything an opponent throws at him is no problem and doesn't an entire body of metal have some disadvantages? I can see giving him the claws (or sheathing his natural claws depends on what the story is) for weapons but does he really need his big toe laced with adam.? Also, at least in X2, if Logan feels threatened in any way, his claws come out whether he wants them to or not. That seems to me to be a bug in the system.

Aside from the fact that it will eliminate the risk of broken bones, it has other reasons. If wolverine punches someone with his claws sheathed, it's like being hit in the face with a ball of Adamantium. That will wreck your face. Also, as seen in X2, If someone tries to shoot wolverine in the head, it won't work cause his skull is coated in adamantium. His skull is essentially bulletproof except for maybe if it was an adamantium bullet.

What comic did juggernaut fight collosus? (or atleast i thought they did)

 

[Colossal Spoons]

There's an issue of Uncanny where they fight at a bar. It wasn't very "superheroey"

 

[bengan]

Wait. Bryan Singer is gay...right? Cuz they wrote that he was straight..wierd.

 

[The Comedian]

1) Why is Iceman now all spikey? Is that just how the artist chose to draw him or was an explanation given? in Adjectiveless X-Men recently he's been spikey, but I noticed in the preview art for Civil War X-Men he isn't
X-Men

Civil War X-Men

2} It was shown on the cover of X-Men with Sunfire, but if he stayed in his metal form, could Colossus actually be melted by someone like Sunfire or Pyro?

 

[masterj]

If Domino fought Longshot who would win?

 

[jim_root_rules]

when and why did rogue get them tattoos?

 

[Darthphere]

She got them sometime before or during the Xtreme X-Men run called Intifada, because she and Gambit had lost their powers. Therefore she was able to wear sleeveless clothing.

 

[jim_root_rules]

ah ok thnx

Can anyone clear this up for me?

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Civil War X-Men

^^ Nice ass, Kitty Pryde. lol

Okay... I was thinking about Telekensis and "force" powers...I think they're quite similiar ...because both user can levitate, move, push, choke people with it... except, with Jean, as an example, she doesn't have a lightsaber what do u think? when I think of Jean's powers and what she can do, makes me think that her powers are similiar to Jedi "force" powers.

Can anyone clear this up for me?

After M-Day, Iceman lost his powers due to a subconcious fear of losing his powers. He forced himself to lose his powers. Emma than turned back on his powers using telepathy but they were unstable. The spikes i thought were to show that he couldnt create a perfect mold of himself. It could have just been the artist at the time, but everyone since then has pretty much followed suit except for Civil War

I cant answer your second question. Even though his whole body turneds into metal they always refer to it as organic metal. I do not know. if it would follow the same properties as other metals. Of course, if he gets hot enough he will probably get hurt either way

If the X-men preach co-existance between humans and mutants why was Danielle Moonstar kicked outta the school.

Uncanny 183, and its a very good comic where juggernaut gets an entire bar thrown on top of him...
