Does Beast have super speed?!
What Nationality is Emma Frost?
Who the hell is Angel and Darwin?
Why is Angel called Angel and not dragonfly lady, when Angel, to me, is Warren??
Who was Tornado Boy? He was pretty. (Apart from the lower part of his face.)
The Erik/Shaw stuff was exactly the same as the Stryker/Wolvie stuff. Perp, is it like that in the comics?
Shaw= anti climax or what! He was all nuked up, then Xavier just freezes him?! Also, the German doctor at the start, was that the same actor?! Cos I didn't even get it was supposed to be the same character right away.
Anyway, despite all that, I did really enjoy it. (Could've done with some Gambit. )
Right just a few questions eh Mouse?
Got to keep me on my toes.
Beast - Nah, no superspeed, but he is super-agile and faster than a normal man, so using mobility and stuff he might appear really fast.
Emma is meant to be Boston New England, Blue blood, the daughter of a really really snooty business man, who grew his children hard. She rebelled, walked out and made a fortune all on her own. (So American)
Darwin - In comics continuity, in a nice bit of retro-fitting, Xavier created a second band of X-Men between the originals and what came to be the Uncanny. One of the members was Darwin. He was apparently killed in his first mission, but continually adapted until he came back. Is now an active member of X-Factor.
Angel - bit of a weird one this, she is a fairly recent creation, sometime member of the X-Men. Her real name is Angel Salvadore, and she has wings in her back. She literally took her name and was Angel (fourth one to use the name, Warren is the second). She lost her powers and is no longer really an active character.
Riptide is Tornado Boy... a really nasty piece of work, a member of the Marauders.
Shaw is nothing like the character in the film (well he is, but not...) they tweaked his powers slightly, made him semi-immortal, but he has nothing to do with Magneto. Whatsoever. At least in the early days.
We'll be meeting him soon in my X-Men thread...
And why they chose the X-Men they did, just for something different I expect.
