X-MEN: Which power would you choose?

[Broseph]

Certain issues have far too long been overlooked in American politics. This is probably the most obvious one.

The new movie comes out May 1, and I am pumped. So, which X-man's power would you want the most?

[CID_0687]

Wolverine

[Alaric]

Wolverine
+1
Borderlining on immortal - what more could you ask for.

The preview for the new movie made me laugh when it showed him fighting in the civil war, WWI and WWII.

That's one downside. You get drafted every time there's a war.

[James Juno]

The fact that Magneto has to wear a "dorky looking hat" to protect himself from Xavier puts Xavier at top-dog, IMHO. :D

Nevermind that. How are you suppose to get into any airport with your bones laced with adamantium...the strongest metal known to man.

Wolverine was my favorite when I was still collecting.

Hahaha, true. He has the X-Men aircraft to transport him around though. And just think of how many purple hearts he must have... if they're given out on a basis of eyewitness account and not physical wounds.

Well, here's the thing: there are better powers out there, but Wolverine (especially as played by Hugh Jackman) is sooooooo cool, that I think I have no choice. :neutral:

[brouski]

You left out Jean Grey/Marvel Girl/Phoenix: Telekinesis. Got my vote.

[Oddball]

My superpower would be that I could choose whichever superpower I wanted, whenever I want it. :mrgreen:

Well Xavier and Jean Grey have pretty much the same powers. And I only had 10 spots for polling, so I just put Xavier up since people are probably more familiar with him.

I'm probably a minority but I'll take the Iceman's powers any day.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceman_(comics)


Iceman possesses the power to radically decrease the temperature of ambient water vapor in his immediate environment, thereby freezing it into ice. In this manner he is able to quickly form a great variety of ice structures, including projectiles, shields, ladders, baseball bats, etc. He often makes ice slides which form rapidly beneath and behind his feet, pushing him along the slick surface at high speeds. Originally, Iceman's own body temperature would lower dramatically when his powers were active, reaching −105 °F (−76.1 °C) within a few tenths of a second (now his body usually converts to organic ice; see below). Iceman is immune to sub-zero temperatures; he is also able to perceive the thermal energy level of objects around him. Because cold is the absence of heat, Iceman does not actually 'emanate' cold; rather, he decreases thermal energy. As mentioned by writer Mike Carey, Iceman is an "an Omega level mutant...[and] has powers that can influence the ecosystem of the entire world."

In his early appearances, Iceman generally covered his body in a thick layer of what appeared to be snow; hence he looked more like a traditional snowman than an ice-man. Upon further training in the use of his powers, he was able to fashion an armor of solid ice around his body when using his powers, which afforded him some degree of protection against concussive force and projectiles; he apparently became slightly transparent when doing this, as Cyclops jokingly compared him to Susan Storm. Later on, he manifested the ability to convert the tissue of his body into organic ice. He sometimes augments his organic ice form with razor sharp adornments to his shoulders, elbows, knees, and fists. Iceman has also been able to move rapidly to another distant location while in his organic ice form, being able to deposit his bodily mass into a river and reconstitute his entire mass a great distance away in a matter of minutes (by temporarily merging his molecules with those of the river). On one occasion, Iceman suffered a severe chest injury while in his ice form and was able to heal himself by converting back into his normal human form.

Iceman is also able to reconstitute his organic ice form if any part of it is damaged, or even if it is completely ****tered, without permanently harming himself. He can temporarily add the mass of a body of water to his own, increasing his mass, size, and strength. He can survive not only as ice, but as liquid water and water vapor. He can also transform his body from a gaseous state back to a solid, although it is physically and mentally taxing. Iceman can also freeze sea water, as seen during the "Operation Zero Tolerance" story arc.

Really, though, if it's ultimate power you seek, switch to DC. :D

[Spaceman Spiff]

Wolverine was my favorite when I was still collecting.

Actually, in one issue Wolverine ran into that problem. He had fake medical papers attesting that he had metal pins inserted into both arms.

Apparently the handheld detector didn't pick up the adamantium in his bones.

[gwhughes]

Wolverine. Can't beat ~imortality. Wanna fly? Jump out of a plane, don't worry with the chute, you'll live.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Could I have Nightcrawler's power without having to look like him?

[Samm]

Mind control... so I could make Storm do what ever I wanted her to to do. :shifty:

[Cav Scout]

I want a new power. The power to make a pigeon poop on all politicians at the very same time...

True, though the upside is that you're really not risking too much!

That was "Evan Almighty". :D

[CaptainPike]

I'd have to go with Xavier.

[Nevarwinter]

Sabertooth heals faster than Wolverine and is much stronger. When I was big into the books, Sabertooth was the first in the Weapon X program. I want to say that his accelerated healing was what prevented him from getting the adamantium skeleton. They couldn't suppress his healing with drugs so they went to the "leftovers" a mutant that had healing but not as fast... wolverine.

Aside from that, I would love Magneto's ability over all.

[Claymore]

You go, Wheels.

Wasn't it said of Wolverine that he was the best at what he did, but that what he did wasn't very nice, or something to that effect?

[Nevarwinter]

I don't remember that but it could be true. Sabertooth was far more animalistic though. He used to hunt Wolverine down every year on his birthday and kick his butt.

I guess I like Sabertooth more than Wolvie because he's more of a mystery.

[Dr. Funkenstein]

I get hurt all the time...instant healing wins.

[super cool ski instructor]

Never seen X-Men...can't stand comic book movies.

But I went with Nightcrawler...because that is a kick ass name!!!

[neoINDIE]

Shapeshifter.

I'd shift to Obama, hold a press conference, and resign.

Then I'd do the same with the leadership of both parties.

Then I'd shift into Brad Pitt and go have some fun...

[badkarma]

Colossus and Night Crawler are the 2 best X-men. But given a choice of what X-men power I could have, I would take Dark Phoenix over any of'em.

If I had Mystique's "default" body I'd never leave the bedroom. :drool:

Emma Frost. She is crazy powerful!

Yes...his first mini-series when Kitty Pride got possessed.

Curious - where are you banned from?

You want powerful, go with nate grey.

[notluzn]

lasers Rock. what? bam

[CaptainPike]

You go, Wheels.

Just imagine it. The blank stare of Captain Pike coupled with Xaviers mind control.
