It's all about priorities

Ah Quicksilver - that's the name of the fast guy I was thinking of. In the cartoons he turns out to be Magneto's son - does that happen in the comics? [/QUOTE]Yes...he and the Scarlet Witch are both children of Magneto (IIRC - happened before I started collecting X-Men).

Magneto has ALWAYS been a bad guy and has ALWAYS felt that homo-sapians were inferior to homo-superior (ie mutants). He has always viewed humans as something to be barely tolerated (remember, his parents died in a Nazi war camp - he has seen homo-sapians "monstrous" side and will never allow that to happen to mutants). This is his "driving force" throughout the books. Most of the time, he is battling the X-Men and humans. For awhile, he did "convert" and actually led the X-Men (starting around Issue 200). Still later, he decided to just leave it all behind and set up a base on an asteroid - where he offered sanctuary to any mutants who wished to come there.

The one character I would really like to see make an appearance is Arch-Angel...the darker, more sinister version of the original Angel. That would be a cool character.

And for those who haven't seen the movie OR read the comics - the most powerful mutant on the planet is ........

PROFESSOR X

The only limits to his powers are those he imposes on himself. Why do you think Magneto wears that "dorky" helmet all the time? Because Charles Xavier could turn his mind to mush, if the mood struck him. Same thing with Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, or Shadow King. Professor X could beat them all if he decided to play by thier rules.

BTW, Apocalypse didn't really have a "highlander" complex against Magneto (that I remember anyway). Apocalypse was the embodiement of the "Survival of the Fittest" ideology. He always attacked mutants in order to weed out the weak and make the strong ones stronger. He didn't necessarily have to be top-dog. Then again, I'm like Magik..I stopped reading the comic back in the early 90's. A lot could have changed since then.

Mutant villains I want to see: Juggernaut (of course) and the Blob, and The Hellfire Club!!!

Where did Gambit appear in X2???? He didn't - but his name DID. When Mystique hacked into Stryker's computer system and found the list of known mutants...the name Remy Lebeau popped up and stayed "on camera" for just about 2 seconds. A good indicator that the Rajun Cajun may show up in person next time around!!!
