Who's Your Favorite X-Man?

[MDniteStryKR]

I don't read the X-Men comic but i used to watch the animated series on TV and I just watched X2 today n the movie rox! So I was wondering who's the people's favorite..

I love Wolverine..Hugh Jackman's so hot in the movie...Iceman ain't that bad but he's kinda not matured enough..i didn't include Proffesor X,Sabre Tooth,Toad and Deathstrike since I can only enter a maximum of 10 characters..i would've added Gambit too since he's another cool guy but there's no space..:damn:

U can vote based on the characters from the movie or the comic as long as u vote 4 ur fav!

[willowandme]

storm is really cool and halle berry is nice looking as well

[HondaBot]

I pick Mystique just for the fact that she can shape shift into other humans. That would be really cool to be able to do that.

[MDniteStryKR]

sweet..wolverine's still in the lead though :thumbsup:

[Pol]

That new bird Deathstrike looks cool

[huntera]

i liked the way Nightcrawler fights.

it was awesome

[MDniteStryKR]

yeah..he's so quick

but i still prefer wolverine

deathstrike..hhmm..let me just say that i don't like Kelly Hu thus dislike Deathstrike..too similar 2 Wolverine

[solid_ace]

yeah, Lady Deathstrike is awesome! I'd say more, but I don't want to give anything away to those who haven't seen X2 yet. :\

need to see the movie... want to go... too bad school sucks sooo much that i got finals.

[xj911]

Gambit!!! He'll be in the next movie.

[xj911]

what about outta these?

[jeaniesing]

I saw X2 this afternoon with hubby...... and my new fave is nightcrawler..... His character is interesting, and he has the best 'power' of the lot! Wolverine is hot, yeah.... but not enough depth there to count, but yeah, he's hot ;)..... and Mystique is cool too..... I suppose I should start reading the comic to get some background? I'm told that in the comic Mystique is Nightcrawler's mom...... and in X3 Jean Grey will come back as The Pheonix, her character's name from older comics.....

[M.O.T.E.]

Pyro realy lites me up............he he he...

[Elven]

Wolverine!!! I also like Rogue. I'm thinking about getting a blond forelock. I think it would compliment my red brown mane and I could die it diff colours to match my clothes.

[Illusion]

Storm, hot..Rogue, Hot... Wolverine is cool too ;)

[MDniteStryKR]

no one has voted 4 Iceman,Jean Grey or Magneto yet..
they're cool but probably not cool enough to beat the rest..

Wolverine's still leading ;)

Jean Grey as The Phoenix..sounds interesting..i've never heard of that name although i've watched and even joined my cousin in a Marvel vs. Capcom title on his PS

[kamain]

what about colussus?? I always liked him he's cool!!! I always played as him in all the arcade games

[jeaniesing]

Oooohh..sounds interesting..no wonder i see Cyclops smiling...i hope i don't hafta wait another 3 years 4 X3..

::my observation of Cyclops' characteristics while watching X2:Cyclops seems to like :barf:'N Sync! ::

[Buggz]

i like rogue because shes sooo hot! i cant touch her though....

[Angelus]

wolverine!!!!

[biscuitje]

No definately STORM. She has the coolest powers!!!!

Too bad Halle is playing her. Not really a mach in my opinion.

[MDniteStryKR]

Sorry,dude..never heard of him...anyway there's no more space left

btw,what r his powers? maybe i might've come across him on a video game

[MDniteStryKR]

::BAMF!::

I'm back after altogether 38 hours of exam in 10 days!!!And i'm still alive!!

::Get's a grip on myself::

i read the X-Men movie mistakes and sumone mentioned that there was Colussus' name at the credits..who's that?

::BAMF!::

I eant 2 post this earlier but it just slipped off my already-bombarded-with-so-many-things mind..hehe

[Peachy Peach]

I wish i could have the power of Mystique.

[Flame]

I like Wolverine and Storm!!

[Pusskyfly]

Its gotta be Cyclops for me

[Despair]

I've been a fan of Nightcrawler since he was introduced to me way back then. I just love the way his character looks and I think his powers are awesome. ^^

[MDniteStryKR]

cool...does anyone know when X3 will be released?

[eM_eSS_Kay]

Wolverine is the daddy :p

[whain]

No one has mentioned The Beast who does not appear in the movie despite being one of the original X-men. He is pretty cool. I think however that Gambit would be an all time fav as he has the coolest power and his background is more of a mystery that Wolverine.

[MDniteStryKR]

true...

i don't read the comic..i've just watched the animated series on tv and of course i saw both movie productions...so i was wondering if sumone could list down the mutants and their superpowers..i know Gambit..he's cool..but i have no idea what exactly his superpowers is..i only know he's got sumthing 2 do with play cards..

[DesTrUcTiOn]

SEE i voted mdnite!
finally right??
after bugging me for 1001 times right after i told you i finished watching... guess who i voted for~

Aoto!

[Nookie 3:16®]

gambit is the coolest. he kicks ass...

[Felida]

I like Rogue, but it has to be Storm for me !

[Angel of Sin]

I think that nightcrawler and gambit are tied for me.

[Angel of Sin]

although wolverine i think is a cool character.

[DarkAmoeba]

Like many people do, my favorite is wolverine

[Nookie 3:16®]

Gambit: good lookin, unique powers, has killer sex appeal with the chicks... nuff said.

[xput]

i like pyro

[renthead]

Does anyone know when X-2 is comming out on DVD?

[Phoenix M.]

here here! for the gambit stuff. Why isnt he up on that poll?

[MDniteStryKR]

i actually made the poll based on the movie and unfortunately Gambit wasn't in the movie so he ain't there in the poll..sorry!
I don't know much bout him since i've only seen him on the animated series which i watch only occasionally and on video games..

hmm..maybe i can ask a mod's favor to edit the poll..replace Jean Grey with Gambit if it's possible

[MDniteStryKR]

p/s: U should've voted 4 Pyro since ur palms are always so

[nmcc666]

Bishop's my favourite.... but he's not on the list!

[AceOfSpair]

Nightcrawler has the coolest powers...
No doubt

[Schmarall]

it looks just too cool with his claws

[J_iceman]

i GUESS iceman is ok (hint, hint, lok at my name :-P) but i think i like magnito, and or morph, and apocolips guy, he is tight ass !!!!

[MDniteStryKR]

since you are so bwad... i won't tell you who i voted for till later...

what makes you think its iceman???
would I do somthing so obvious?

[eastcoast]

woot! nightcrawler is in at a close 2nd

[Kuba]

I watched X-men 2 for at least 10 times and I have to say that Wolverine rulezzz... But Nightcrawler's best with his teleportation...

that incident was unintentional...how was i supposed 2 know he was there at ur place...btw, I told u where that code was from..i've already made it up 2 u and we're even now

i don't know why Iceman..u like him,don't u...ahhh..i'm getting sick of this

[DesTrUcTiOn]

i'm also sick of this mdnite! so lets STOP this! you STOP asking, and we're done with it~ hahahahha

[neomotion]

Indeed, Colosus was the coolest of all the X-men.

For the ones that don't know him, he was actually in X-men 2 the movie. His power is that he is able to change his body in living metal. In the comics and the videogames he is my all-time favorite. And i didn't like Rogue in both movies. She is supposed to be a sexy, strong and beautiful woman. And common, although i like her, anna is not really a sexy woman, but a really cute girl.

Other than that, the x-men movies are great.

[Rankinfile]

I always thought Professor X was really cool.

[SeNNe]

Wolverine and Wolverine-Girl ( i do not know her name ^^)

[PaPoNe]

Wolwerine's Klaw so kool

[thoughts]

wolverine!!

[Rogue_LeBeau]

Oh, thank God this thread was made! I just have to say that this thread rules!
Anyway, I'm torn between Rogue and Gambit mainly. They're both my favorites, but categorized as 'female' and 'male' favorites, respectively. And then there's Wolverine...you know what? I love all three!
I don't read the comic all that much, but I've looked up hella lots of info on the characters (Rogue and Gambit, mainly) and I watch the movies, X-Men The Animated Series, and the newest addition, X-Men: Evolution. I even write fanfiction about Remy/Rogue (Romy) relationships for Evo.

[MDniteStryKR]

Thanks ;)
Neither do i read the comics but i love the characters...:thumbsup:
I wanted to make this a multiple vote poll but i thought deep in everyone there has to be that ONE favorite X-Man ;)

Big thanx out to Jeanie for adding Gambit to the poll and editing Dr.Jean Grey's entry...
Now people go ahead and vote for sexy Gambit..

[SolarGuard]

cyclops is good

[grickey]

cyclops best :P

[J_iceman]

MDniteStryKR
yeah..he's so quick but i still prefer wolverine
deathstrike..hhmm..let me just say that i don't like Kelly Hu thus dislike Deathstrike..too similar 2 Wolverine in the movie she isnt suppose to have the ability to heal. only wolverine is able to heal. that is HIS mutant power, and thats what makes him uniqueHondaBot
I pick Mystique just for the fact that she can shape shift into other humans. That would be really cool to be able to do that. so if you are mystique then you can transform to wolverine.....pwn l337 !%$@#%$!

[MDniteStryKR]

lmao!

any idea whos' gonna play Gambit in X3?

even the animated Gambit's so hot i wonder who's hot enough 2 play his role...

[MDniteStryKR]

Originally posted by J_iceman

Oh..i see..
whatever,i still don't like Kelly Hu..i used to watch her on Martial Law and on..ugh..Scorpion King...so there's no way for me to like Deathstrike..she's dead anyway..woo hoo!!

[flushmonkii]

Wolverine is badass. Iceman....worst hero ever. Gambit is badass too.

[ivanb06]

Wolverine #1

[ash828]

I've been a fan of storm ever since Halle Berry played her in the movie

[J_iceman]

she's ok i guess

[polyhymnia]

When I used to watch the cartoons it was Storm, but at the risk of being unoriginal, it'd have to be Wolverine in the movies. Though I like Nightcrawler too.

[slickvic]

Nightcrawler is my favorite. I remember when i was a kid i had a comic book when Nightcrawler battled Spiderman. It was pretty cool!

-vic

[J_iceman]

who won??

[-=Garbage=-]

Man nightcrawler, is just too kick ass to be ignored. I mean granted good ol' wolvy is all fine and stuff, but, HE can't teleport, and have cool blue skin. Atleast when X2 came out they gave Nightcrawler the props he always needed

[romolus]

Wolverine is so cool. I love his claws :)

[J_iceman]

if only we can teleport huh :-P

[MDniteStryKR]

Originally posted by J_iceman

no no..i just don't like her,not the movie she makes.i love X2..even if i hadn't seen her on martial law or scorpion king i wouldnt've liked her either..it's just me and my taste..that's all..no grudge/hard feelings whatsoever towards her..

[chop_suey666]

uhm...I'd have to say Wolverinee..not because he's the strongest or most powerful....just because he's the coolest (In my fragile and easily persuaded mind anyway)

[MDniteStryKR]

and another vote for Wolverine..

:thumbsup:

[atimatrix]

Wolvie!

[J_iceman]

he DOES have a "badass" aditude :-P

[X-Factor]

Wolverine cuz he's a bad@$$

::wondering why Gambit has no votes...::

[f4ipnoy]

wolverine all the way!!! who woundnt want regen powers?

[MDniteStryKR]

hehe...true,buddy!
packed with charm and bad@$$ attitude ;)

[juanratv]

storm it's OK, but i prefer wolverine.

[ghost26]

Wolverine has got to be the most famous XMan...
He's got his own comic series!
Even the movie that were released - his story seems to tie everything!

[juanratv]

storm it's OK, but i prefer wolverine.

[MDniteStryKR]

looks like Wolverine's still in the lead....
:boink:

[J_iceman]

guess what , i didn't even vote yet :-P

[Tripple5Soul]

Nightcrawler, i like the attitude of him his fightin blow everyone out of the water. I also like Colloseum (he was shown in x-men 2 where the big guy turned into a metal human during the invasion into the school)

[squaregamer]

nightcrawler:thumbsup:

[vbrio]

i've been reading the comic when i was in college.

one of the stories i remember was where the x-men was not formed by xavier and so wolverine and storm was a couple.

the history is kinda confusing since the past, present and future can get mixed up when the time travelling mutants are on the scene. not to mention when x-factor (not sure, but these are the canadian mutants whom wolverine new) and the avengers get mixed in the storyline too. i remember spidermanbeing on the cartoon show too.

i just love nightcrawler!

[vbrio]

by the way, i love the way the drawing of the characters improved thru the years in the comic.

between the old x-men cartoon and the new generation one which one do you guys like better?

:thumbsup:

[J_iceman]

the original x-men (well not when wolverine is wearing brown) the ones when he wears yellor and morph was there and the centinals and the red phenix saga was cool as well

[vbrio]

yup i agree with you. the old one was much better story wise. though the graphics of the next generation one is ok.

however, the comics is still the best

[conceptual]

Storm is able to control the elements..

man has always dreamed of being able to control the weather but can't...

..even with all the technological advancements and cutting down lots of trees and digging out the earth man still can't do it... man is lame...

that's why Storm is a woman!!;)

[J_iceman]

i am guessing you were in the womans rights movment :-P j/k

[G-man]

I like Wolverine I can most relate to him personally.

Also, like Rogue she's a hottie!
Fammke Jansen isn't bad either...

[sckotche]

Storm is my Gyrl 4-life

[DesertEagle]

Wolverine. Definately Wolverine

[J_iceman]

rogue had the best bod in the cartoon series ^_^

[diskonekted]

wolverine is kool.. gotta luv the attitude.

[Tripple5Soul]

Storm and Rogue ain't too bad in the movie... Halle Berry :smart:

[saxmidiman]

I remember the X-Men from back in the early 80's. Wolverine was my favourite then and still is now. Check out the old Wolverine stories. They were way before their time.

[Cogency]

Rogue is my favorite character, but Wolverine is a close second when it comes to both the movie series and the comic book. I am glad to see some people who are into MIDI are also into Comics. I have been into electronic music (both as a listener and an artist) and reading comic books ever since I can remember. In fact, I learned how to read through an old Bugs Bunny comic. Maybe that's why I can't shake the peach inspediment. SIWWY WABBIT!

James

My Smilies have to have a nose.

:O|

[J_iceman]

i second that a :-P

[MidiRock]

you got nothing on wolverine!

[Tripple5Soul]

They need to show more on colosseum, he is one of the most underrated character in the movie.

[Dream_Fox]

I like Rouge...she is soooooo cool.

Both movies r great..can't wait for Gambit though

[MDniteStryKR]

now i had heard a couple of people mention Colossus..can someone shine some light on this guy..i don't read the comic..the only X-Men knowledge i have are from video games, Fox cartoon series and of course the movie itself.

the last time i was here this thread had barely 50 votes...now it's up 2 99..
keep it up, guys!

[gstar]

Wolverine

[PIMPNaintEZ4]

WOLVERINE. Thats my homie right there. Hes been the best ever since they introduced him into the X-Men. He doesn't exactly have the coolest or the flashiest powers but he can take a bullet to the head and still live people. How badd azz is that?

[tokyny]

wolverine has the gangsta loner image. plus he's the underdog when it comes to conquering jane. who doesnt support the underdog?

[J_iceman]

Apparently in the comics Wolverine gets his adamantium skeleton taken out and his claws come back as bone instead.

[tien71700]

Colossus is a really big guy from Russia. He can turn metal or something. But he has horizontal lines going across his body. He was also in that x men video game. He was in the 2nd xmen movie for a short minute, where he took the kids when professor x's school was being attacked.

But I like wolvy anyways.:)

[J_iceman]

[Rogue_LeBeau]

Ack, well, I don't know if anyone ever answered this for you, MDniteStryKR, but I'm pretty sure James Bamford will be playing the oh-so-sexy Gambit if and when he shows up in the movies. X3 is scheduled to come out in May of 2006, I believe. James isn't so bad-looking; he's actually pretty hot. I think he's a stunt man. In the book for X2 I read Gambit was mentioned...they should've had him in the movie! They'll get so many more fangirls if they'd include him. But did you see his name mentioned in X2 when Mystique got on Stryker's computer? I was ecstatic!

[Black_Kat]

Nightcrawler! oooh oooh ooh! NIGHTCRAWLER!...I like nightnousness... <<< Hence my name!...

Nightcrawler obviously has the most power out of all of them and seems to have the most control over what he does...I love that kind of character!...Wolverine is quite cute, but there isn't much under that...Cyclops is just haughty......and what happened to all of the bad guys! List some of them!

Prodigal Child...

Ohh..yeah,i remember that guy.thanks a lot ;)

Thanks Rogue_LeBeau..no, no one had answered my question till now..James Bamford heh? i should go check him out..May 2006? that's like 2 and a half years to go..oh man..that's bad 4 me being an impatient person :(
Hmm,no i didn't notice his name being mentioned in X2..i'll go chack that out as well
Thanks for the info..i really appreciate it ;)

Black_Kat, i didn't include Toad and Sabre Tooth cuz i could only enter 10entries when i made the poll..Jeanie added Gambit for me..state ur suggestion and i'll see if i can get her to add em as well ;)

nightcrawler is my favorite

[JCQns]

I think everybody liked wolverine but he's the rebel so thats understandable that more people would like him and the movie did help influence more people to like him.

But to me, its nightcrawler. He's quick.

Exactly..he's the sexy macho man :love: and the story line was pretty focused on him..however,Gambit's appearance in the next movie would give him some competition..
aww wish i could see those too take it out in a wrestling ring

[wizard1331]

magneto all the way...not only can he control metal...but in real life, if he had that power, he would also be able to control electricity...since thats how magnets work

[MDniteStryKR]

Aha! physics..too bad i forgot which law that one applies to..he'd make a great extra large solenoid hehe ;)

[G-man]

Physics huh? :laugh2: ummm...let's see...
Magnetic fields are produced by moving charges. For example when electricity flows through a wire there are electrons, which have a negative charge, moving through the wire. This moving charge produces a magnetic field around the wire.

did you know that there is a lot about magnets at the atomic level that isn't known yet? Just like with most of the other basic forces we are familiar with, such as gravity, electricity, mechanics and heat, scientists start by trying to understand how they work, what they do, are there any formulas that can be made to describe (and thus predict) their behavior so we can begin to control them, and so on.

The work always starts by simple observation (that's the fancy word for playing around with the stuff!). That's why it's so important to have some "hands-on" experience with magnets. Have you taken two magnets and tried to push like poles together? How far away do you start to feel the repulsion? How does the force vary with the distance between them? When the magnets are moved off-axis to each other (moving them to the side and not head on) what does it feel like? Could you describe it like trying to push two tennis balls together? When you flip one around, what changes? What about moving one around the other in a circle? Try these things! That's how you learn! Only when you play with (observe) them will you begin to understand how they work. This is the stuff great scientific pioneers did, like Faraday, Lenz, Gilbert, Henry and Fleming.

What we can find out this way, is some of the basics of magnetism, like:

the north pole of the magnet points to the geomagnetic north pole (a south magnetic pole) located in Canada above the Artic Circle.
north poles repel north poles
south poles repel south poles
north poles attract south poles
south poles attract north poles
the force of attraction or repulsion varies inversely with the distance squared
the strength of a magnet varies at different locations on the magnet
magnets are strongest at their poles
magnets strongly attract steel, iron, nickel, cobalt, gadolinium
magnets slightly attract liquid oxygen and other materials
magnets slightly repel water, carbon and boron
and so on
Now, the fun begins. We start to ask the question, "Why?" This is what scientists continually do - try to figure out why things behave the way they do. Once we figure that out, we have a better handle on how to apply them to make useful tools for us, right?

Let me share with you some of what is known about how magnets work. All of the questions have NOT been answered, perhaps you will help answer some of them. So, some of what is known are simply observations, some are guesses, but a lot has been figured out.

Atomic Magnetism
There are only a few elements in the periodic table that are attracted to magnets. None of the elements, by themselves, make good permanent magnets, but can become temporary magnets (when close to another magnet). When alloys of various metals are made, some of these alloys make very good magnets. Why? We don't really know, but we can observe some consistent rules.

As you know, we have seen that when current flows in a wire, a magnetic field is created around the wire. Current is simply a bunch of moving electrons, and moving electrons make a magnetic field. This is how electromagnets are made to work. This will be important to keep in mind as we zoom into the structure of atoms.

Around the nucleus of the atom, where the protons and neutrons live, there are electrons whizzing around. We used to think that they had certain circular orbits like the planets have around the sun, but have discovered that it is much more complicated, and much more exciting! Instead, the patterns of where we would likely find the electron within one of these orbitals takes into account Schroedinger's wave equations. Pictures of each of these orbitals can be found at http://www.shef.ac.uk/chemistry/orbitron/index.html. (These also take into account Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and probability theory.)

First, electrons can be thought of as occupying certain shells that surround the nucleus of the atom. These shells have been given letter names like K,L,M,N,O,P,Q. They have also been given number names, such as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. (This is what quantum mechanics is all about).

Within the shell, there may exist subshells or orbitals, with letter names such as s,p,d,f. Some of these orbitals look like spheres, some look like an hourglass, others look like beads on a bracelet.

The K shell contains an s orbital. Called a 1s orbital.
The L shell contains an s and p orbital. Called a 2s and 2p orbital.
The M shell contains an s, p and d orbital. Called a 3s, 3p and 3d orbital.
The N, O, P and Q shells each contain an s, p, d and f orbital. Called a 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f, 5s, 5p, 5d, 5f, 6s, 6p, 6d, 6f, 7s, 7p, 7d and 7f orbital.

These orbitals also have various sub-orbitals.

The s orbital can contain only 2 electrons and has no sub-orbitals.
The p orbital can contain 6 electrons, 2 in each of its 3 sub-orbitals, like px, py and pz.
The d orbital can contain 10 electrons, 2 in each of its 5 sub-orbitals, like dxy, dxz, dyz, dz2, dx2-y2.
The f orbital can contain 14 electrons, 2 in each of its 7 sub-orbitals.
(And there is a g orbital that can contain 18 electrons, 2 in each of its 9 sub-orbitals, for highly excited electrons.)

A maximum of 2 electrons can occupy a sub-orbital where one has a spin of UP, the other has a spin of DOWN. There can not be two electrons with spin UP in the same sub-orbital. (Pauli exclusion principal.) Also, when you have a pair of electrons in a sub-orbital, their combined magnetic fields will cancel each other out.

In order to show how many electrons are in each orbital, the following convention is sometimes used:
Chlorine has 1s22s22p63s23p5 for a total of 17 electrons. This tells us that there are 2 in 1s, 2 in 2s, 6 in 2p, 2 in 3s, and 5 in 3p.

As you can see, the general order for filling the electron orbitals follows a sequence since the energy level for each orbital increases in this sequence:
1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p

After each orbital is full, it starts to fill the next one in this sequence. There are a few odd jumps in the sequence when you get to filling the 4f, 5d and 6p orbitals, but that's how it goes.

If we were to examine Iron (atomic number 26), Cobalt (27), Nickel (28) and Gadolinium (64), all of which are considered ferromagnetic since they are strongly attracted to a magnet, it is difficult to see what makes them so different from the other elements next to them or below them in the periodic table. In other words, if Iron is so strongly magnetic, why isn't Manganese? Perhaps there are other factors we need to take into account such as the crystalline structure. But it is generally accepted that these ferromagnetic elements have large magnetic moments due to un-paired electrons in their outer orbitals. This is like having current flowing in a coil of wire, creating a magnetic field. Even the spin of the electron is thought to create a minute magnetic field. When you get a bunch of these fields together, they add up to bigger fields.


Iron (Fe)
Atomic Number 26
Electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p63d64s2
This shows the electron orbits as circular rings around the nucleus. It really isn't like this, but it makes a good diagram.
The green dot in the center is the nucleus with the 26 protons and 26 neutrons.
The orange dots in the 3d orbital are the 4 unpaired electrons.
The unpaired electrons in 3d create a magnetic moment, or force. It is thought that D/r must be 3 or more to create ferromagnetism. This condition occurs in Iron, Cobalt, Nickel and rare-earth groups.

We can go one level deeper into quantum mechanics. This is where we ask, "What is the magnetic field made of?"

Today, there are four basic forces that are known: gravity, electromagnetism, weak, strong. What creates these forces? There is speculation among particle physicists that these forces are the result of photons that are exchanged between particles. This exchange is what creates a repulsion or attraction between various particles, giving us the forces we call gravity, magnetism, and others that hold the protons together in the center of the atom. For a more in-depth understanding, you will want to read about the Standard Model of the atom at

[MDniteStryKR]

Ohh no...not again..u sound so like my Physics and Chemistry Sirs back at high school :p

north poles repel north poles
south poles repel south poles
north poles attract south poles
south poles attract north poles

that was basic science i learned at Grade 5..the rest's pretty much in my high school syllabus but not as deep as subshells...
hmm,i'll check back when college starts lol

[G-man]

Maybe there could be a new X-man who controlled all the laws of physics...? Maybe he could be called... G-man!!! or would the "G" just stand for "gravity"...? still that would still be pretty cool! That would be fun just turning gravity on and off over and over turning it off and everyone starts floating then turn it on really fast and watch everyone fall on their arses!!! :laugh2: Perhaps "geophysics" or is that Storm?...OH! Geomagnetic! :damn: that's the other dude! Hmmmnnn... gentrification :laugh2: , gentile-man, gentility-man, gesticulation-man :laugh: , ghettoize-man, goad-man :stick: :laugh2: , ... genius, gateway... *nothing here... * :rolleyes2 :laugh2:

[ZelRiptha]

I rather like Gesticulation Man... :laugh:

[fixaren9]

Wolverine!

[CMBBone]

ummm...yeah. I think I need super-powers or a mutation just to handle that physics post.

[tommytop]

iceman easily hes so slick and he can make bridges and contain people and stuff

[DeathAngel]

hehe .. it's funny, I used to watch that X-men cartoon when I was a kid every Saturday morning. I even had that video game on Super Nintendo. :D Anyways, I remembered my favorite character was Gambit. :blush:

[J_iceman]

yeah i remember i had a dream that i had Gambits power, dude that was so dm cool....i think i can make my OWN movie ^_^

[MDniteStryKR]

speaking of which, what exactly is his power eh? :confused:
i've always wondered..care to fill me in, anyone?

[J_iceman]

yeah gambit has the power to put kinetic energy to any object in his hands, usually he would use playing cards (which i think is pretty cool. i want to learn how to throw cards my self) and some times rocks, nuts and bolts. anything accesable :-)
anyways his character is mainly questionable, like a joker, who would be in different sides...

[Scottt]

I LOVE WOLVERINE

[jespac]

Wolverine

Ahh i see, thanks...yea i remember watching him fling play cards all over the place but never actually knew what exactly he was doing..
heh heh a joker only by character and not by appearance ;)

[J_iceman]

yeah, he has black eyes also, did you see that??...the white part of the eye is black....thats the reason i thought he was the bad guy...

[desperado]

i like Cyclops i think he`s cute :D

[J_iceman]

i STILL think wolverine should of gotten Jean Grey

[MDniteStryKR]

Oooohh..black eyes?? geez,i never noticed..that's hot! :love:
hey, bad guys are cool ;)

i STILL think wolverine should of gotten Jean Grey

Nah, he's better off alone..fits his mysterious badboy character
.....and leaves some space for ME!

[J_iceman]

heh heh i think all women are selfish when it comes to men...nah, he's the macho man..he'll get over it sooner than u think ;)
wonder if they'll give him a gurl in X3....
i am YOURS? yikes..gosh, i never knew that neither!! :p

[G-man]

Black eyes? weird! :laugh2:

So you like a "badboy" huh MD?
Is it a badboy trait to quote yourself? (or just crazy? :ah: ) ^ :laugh:

Hmmm speaking of which..i just realised that there's someone i know who's got black eyes...and to come to think of it, he reminds me lots of Gambit..he's got the right face frame with the sharp jaw...hmmmm :smart:

Heh heh yeah..only badboys are compatible with badgirls, am i right? ;)

lmao i seriously think it just a plain wacko jacko stunt :crazy:
definitely not badboy :nono: hahahaha!!! :laugh2:

[G-man]

Gambit? I don't remember what he looked like... probably wouldn't matter as I would be a bad judge myself anyway!

Bad boys with bad girls? I like to think that opposites attract as well... wouldn't you? One to tame the other?

[ping]

Pheonix can destroy all!

[alcozma]

Hugh Jackman as Wolverine all the way :thumbsup: anyone seen him in Van Helsing yet??? It looks quite good!!!

[J_iceman]

interesting, i didnt know he was there??

Oh hell yeah do opposites attract ;)
heh heh one to tame the other eh? but then it's more fun when both add up...either one of the extremes

[G-man]

Sounds good! :laugh2:

[MDniteStryKR]

;)
so u agree with me eh?

i think it gets boring when things are neutral

:rock:

[G-man]

Absolutely! Hey looks like a tight race up there...

[MDniteStryKR]

mmm yeah...i think we can deduce from the poll that guys seem to prefer Rogue whereas gals just love Wolverine

and since we have more male MB members, Rogue holds the lead :p

[J_iceman]

adub235
#3. He doesn't take **** from anyone, and makes cyclops look like a moron. i will pick gambit over cyclops anytime!!
MDniteStryKR

who wouldn't pick Gambit over cyclops? heh, we just heard it from a guy! ;)

lol yea she's hot but i think i prefer my straight self :p

[J_iceman]

Originally posted by MDniteStryKR
lol yea she's hot but i think i prefer my straight self :p well, i guess that's a GOOD thing....in a girl's point of view :-P j/k i'm actually glade you are straight, so i know that you wouldn't pick another girl over me :-P:smart: :kiss:

glad i got that over to ya ;) :kiss:

[ShyBoi]

Wolverine's my fav

[pianoguy1140]

Wolverine ROX!

[crewalaska]

X-men is awesome, I think that cyslops is the best.

[snapcer]

I voted for Wolverine, but Pyro was cute in X2...

[GizmoTheGree]

the cutest and sexyest one of course

[z0mbie]

Nightcrawler forevaR!

[MDniteStryKR]

Wolvie, he seems to be the female favorite...

[G-man]

Ahhh... hehe well I can certainly see why that would be from that pic! :smart: :laugh2:

[Pol]

I think i voted for Deathstrike earlier in the thread...i've changed my mind...i like Storm (is that her name ?) now :-p

Ps..You know...the one with the white hair and thunderbolts and Halle Berry and...well...:eekout:

[dz66]

Wolvie

[Northern]

Cyclops Rocksss!!!

[MDniteStryKR]

Yes Pol, u got it right...still i wonder how come she hasn't gathered many votes yet..Halle Berry's surely beautiful and hot!

Top female seems to be Rogue, maybe it's her hair and her powers...

it would be nice if u guys mentioned what stands out in ur fav character and why u picked him/her...

[d3fy_one]

ooh yeah! gambit rocks...

[FranzFD]

Gambit. I also really like Jubilee. They kinda have similar powers now that I think about it. Her method is just more colorful. :D

[MDniteStryKR]

Hmm wonder if they'll have Jubilee in X3?

Any idea when's the movie coming out?

[G-man]

Should be comin' out pretty soon...

http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hp&cf=prev&id=1808490829

[MDniteStryKR]

thanks..2006?!!
sheesh..that's sooo long to go :damn:

[fragmare]

Storm... how can you argue with some flying lady that can call down lightning, hail, and tornadoes?

[G-man]

Sheesh... you'd think George Lucas was directing it or something ?!?!
:laugh2:

[MDniteStryKR]

this is worse than George Lucas!!
i had forgotten all bout Episode 3 till i saw the trailer..
hope it's better..it will be as long as Hugh Jackman's still Wolvie :)

[G-man]

Maybe the next Star Wars director will pick up the pace... it'll probably be rubbish though... I wonder why this is taking so long though?

[vbrio]

..i hope it's because they have a better story line ;)

[G-man]

I can't even remember that last story line to be quite honest... :shifty:

[vbrio]

if i'm not mistaken it showed how anakin and the senator (the girl) finally fell in love, and how anakin has begun to be corrupted...well this is what i can remember though ;)

[G-man]

Oh, I rembember Star Wars... just not the X-men sequal...
I shoulda' clarified that...

[vbrio]

Oh, I rembember Star Wars... just not the X-men sequal...
I shoulda' clarified that...


oopppps so sorry

hmmm x-men - i can only remember jean gray turning into pheonix at the end of the movie and wolverine finally finding out what happend to him

[MDniteStryKR]

yup that's pretty much it..but with the introduction of new characters such as Nightcrawler whom i think is one of the coolest, Pyro, Iceman etc. the show was pretty interesting...and I'm anxious to see which new characters they're gonna add to their team of mutants in X3

i've lost hope in Star Wars though..i remember more from the older one than I do from Episode 1 & 2 :(

[vbrio]

i've lost hope in Star Wars though..i remember more from the older one than I do from Episode 1 & 2 :(

same here...episode 4 - 6 was way better, story line perse

there are so many characters in the x-men series, i can't wait to see whom they added to the movie :p

[MDniteStryKR]

yup i guess the suspense drives us to anticipate something interesting in the movie

as for Star Wars i'll let May 19 do the talking

[G-man]

Yup looks like that's all we've got for awhile... :p

[MDniteStryKR]

ok enough of Star Wars over here, i'm afraid i might get disapponted, i shall thrust my hopes way below at the moment

back to X-Men....

[vbrio]

speaking of the x-men..i miss reading the comics...a friend used to lend me his collection...but after college i haven't read anymore

[yoda365]

I like Iceman. Seems like a cool guy. Doh, pardon the pun.

[MDniteStryKR]

well i can't deny that Iceman is also hot! :-p

[dirty v]

Gambit they need 2 make an x men 4 and put him n it

[MDniteStryKR]

yes, totally! i thought they were going to add Gambit in X3 but they didn't :(

i hope there's an X4..that would be so cool!
