			remember in the street fighter movie how there was a "dr. dhalsim" but he didn't stretch and wasn't really indian or anything? that sucked.


Well, at least it was internally consistent.

 Yup thats the one Morrison is writing. I have to agree with the comment on Queseda and company. Great editors do seem to make a world of difference. I started following X-Men around X-Tinction Agenda. And my interest has come and gone. However, over the past couple years, stories have greatly improved. 



I would love to see them make Transmet into a movie. Warren Ellis is a great story teller.



And Gallstaff, no Nightcrawler was never evil. He started as a circus freek. His mother is Mystique. And in the comics books, he is an ordained minister.


He's a minister? I never knew that. Hmm. That also reminds me, why did they write him out of the newer comics. And I mean not like really new but if I remembwer they wrote him out in the eighties of pretty much all the comics at the time. Why was that?

I agree with whoever liked the start of the moive best with Nightcrawler, def. my favorite part....

Can anyone explain what the spots were on nightcrawlers jacket, and where was beast?

I saw X2 the other night and really enjoyed it.

I noticed all those things people mentioned (well I only noticed Remy LeBeau on that screen, but it flashed so quick that I culdn't see any other names), except for the Phoenix at the end. But I saw what was coming at the end there with Jean, and I kinda figured that it would lead into the Phoenix storyline.

Jammie Maddrox is actually the name of a character from the old X-Factor comics. His code-name was Multiple Man I believe.

I used to be a big XMen fan between the X-Cutioner storyline up until the Onslaught thing. Towards the end, the stories just got bad, so I stopped collecting.

 VertigoXX May 4, 2003
Long before Twistid was around, hell, long before the Insane Clown Posse, Jamie Madrox was the name of Multiple Man, a member of X-Factor.

There's a scene where there is a TV in the background. On the TV, they are interviewing a Dr. Hank McCoy, aka the Beast.

As for Nightcrawler in the 80's and 90's, he spent most of the time as a member of eXcalibur, the team of X-Men based out of Muir Island, England.

Schi0249, is Colossus still dead? I stopped reading the X books before the Legacy Virus deal was wrapped up, but I did scan through the issue at the store.

 schi0249 May 4, 2003
He sure is. One of the few to remain dead. For now that is. Late last year they went through a rash of killings. Pslocke, Magneto, and everyone else on Genosha. The current writing teams seem intent on not constantly bringing back the dead. They returned a few old members, most of the X-Factor team. Colossus was always one of my favorites. And I was very disappointed when they killed him. But the story for it was good.

Here... is the very first x-men comic. Pretty shitty, but I thought it might interest some of you.

For God's sake, look at the beast! He's a gorilla!

 schi0249 May 5, 2003
You should see what happened to him a few years later. The current Beast is blue, furry, and has sharp claws in place of hands. Ah how times they change. If you think the old X-Men books are bad, then check some of the truly old Superman and Batman comics. Man I'm feeling way nostalgic. I guess its time for me to read some old school comics.

Just saw it. Great movie.

Can't wait for 28 days to come out! Looks to be a George Romero type zombie movie!!!!

Iceman looks like a snowman, throwing snowballs at his opponents.

Also, check out Angel with the bazooka.

 Gallstaff May 5, 2003
Dude I was just noticing... SLIM Summers? What the hell? When was that changed?

 Cloud121 May 6, 2003
I saw it on Sunday, I stopped checking out X-Men YEARS ago (around 1996 I think), however, from I remember, it made the movie enjoyable. I liked seeing Collosus (correct spelling?) and Pyro. However, was Pyro a good guy then became a bad guy in the original story as well? Because from what I saw Pyro was ALWAYS a bad guy. I stopped watching partway through the Phoenix saga. In fact, I remember very little. Also, wasn't Mystique, Rouge's mother in the series?

 schi0249 May 6, 2003
Pyro was always evil. Mystique is Rogues adopted mother. However, she is Sabertooth and Nightcrawler's biological mother.

Whaa? I was just checking out X-men comic history the other night.. Its cool, but at the same time real baad. It is like a soap opera where the story has s many parralel dimensions, alternate universes and bastard children that it makes "the says of our lives" look like ozzy and hariet

 Gear May 14, 2003
I wasn't able to see stan lee in this movie (in most movies he plays as an extra actor who appears a couple of seconds). Is he in x2? Or this time he didn't show up?

 Jeffrey May 19, 2003
MTV said the last 6 movies based on Marvel comics started at #1 in the box office. So, I can only think of 4 of them: X men, x2, daredevil, spiderman. What are the other two films based on marvel comics that hit #1 ?

 schi0249 May 19, 2003
Both Blade movies. Though I had to think real hard for those.

 Nadius May 19, 2003
probably the two "Blade" movies

edit :eh, a little late there

 Jeffrey May 20, 2003
I didn't realize Blade was a Marvel comic! I am too old? I read Avengers and Fantastic Four. I never read "Blade".

 MasterAkumaMatata May 20, 2003
Blade was created during the Midnight Sons saga with Ghost Rider taking on Lilith and her horde of vampires, IIRC.
