What X- Men's power would you have?

[rddj623]

But that only worked because Mystique injected the guard with extra metal

But in the comics Magnus kills an entire army at once by forcing the normal amounts of iron in their blood to a central point in their bodies. Effectively killing them by an internal shrapnel implosion that turns all organs and tissue in the way into mush. An ENTIRE army. Plus his ability is mastery of Electro-Magnetism. Which means he can manipulate the earths electro-magnetic field into a nigh indestructible force field.

Oooh... tough call. I'd pick either Jean Grey, the Scarlet Witch, or Mystique.

I was waiting for someone to say Scarlet Witch, reality bending at it's craziest!

OT: Magneto, Forge, or Wolverine. All have amazing real world helpful attributes.

I'm torn between Magneto and Nightcrawler.

Pyro, for fun. i like fire.

But i would also like to show storm some of the stuff she could do with her powers. I mean does she have no imagination? sucking the air out of people's lungs? removing liquid from there body's? her powers are near god-like and she never uses them to full power.

 

[Voodoomancer]

Rogues? Then I'd have ALL of them. (the kind where it's "touch you once then I have your powers for good")
^,^

Ah, I was talking about the comics rather than the movies. It's taken her many, many years to get to the point she has in the comics, and some pretty life changing events, but I guess from a certain point of view she did show some development in the second X-Men movie. She was able to deliberately grab Pyro by the ankle and use his powers to put out the fires during the confrontation with the police at Bobby's house.

Yeah, I heard she's pretty badass in the comics...she was in the cartoon series as well, right?
In the second movie though...she KNEW she could drain someone's life force and powers. So it's not like this was a major turning point for her. She wasn't really able to hone her powers (obviously the third film left a bit of a cliff hanger with the "I didn't want this", "But I did", hand ungloved moment, so we may see another film in which she DOES train herself a bit better), but each of the X-Men get a little stronger or a little more refined during their training sessions. Rogue...kinda stood around, being a normal teenager.
I know this isn't the actress' fault, but I can see why people didn't particularly enjoy her screen time. There just wasn't enough development!

You mean nightcrawlers ability to stand in front of Wolverine naked?

 

[evlbaMbee]

Professor Xavier's Wheelchair.

 

[Shoqiyqa]

I'll just go with vanilla Jean Grey.

Hey, who wouldn't? Given that power-nullifying kid's power, though, I'd be going with Rogue if she was at all interested!

 

[Cazza]

Phasing. Simple, effective and easy to hide from the public. I think that would be the best power.

 

[Zach Steadman]

like everyone else and their dog, I choose Nightcrawler,I don't care if I have appearance change or not.

 

[steevee]

Gotta be Storm.

All the funnes of the power, plus I'd set up a business, giving goo weather for weddings and whatnot, should make a nice wedge.

I imagine the people at Glastonbury would pay a good deal

 

[Woodsey]

Wolverine's power set.

Improved senses, claws, healing.

 

[Tim Coombs]

Fuzzy elf's teleportation

 

[Mjolnir36]

Magneto(Not technically an X-Men but sue me).

 

[fullbleed]

Hrmm, it would either be Nightcrawler or Shadowcat. Walk through a wall or just *BAMF* my way to the other side? I think teleportation.

 

[Disaster Button]

For all the people that say Shadowcat, how would you stop yourself falling through the planet when you turn your ability on?

My choice would be Jean Grey. With or without the Phoenix boost, I don't mind.

 

[Robyrt]

For real world utility? Gotta go with Forge. (Hopefully without the crippling personality issues.) A super inventor would be fabulously wealthy and help a lot of people at the same time - a win/win scenario.

In an environment where other people had superpowers? Emma Frost. (I would say Professor X or Magneto, but I don't count either of those as X-Men proper.) Telepathy plus built-in defenses is good.

Fun fact: Psylocke didn't start with the psychic knife; as Betsy Braddock she was basically a mediocre telepath in a pink outfit.

 

[Robyrt]

In Magneto's defense, he was headmaster of the School for Gifted Youngsters for a while in the '80s. He never actually went on X-Men missions though.
