Plot LOOPHOLE I tell you!!!

That actually makes perfect sense. You restored my possible enjoyment of X3 now, it was wavering there for an hour of so.

As for this Leech problem, I’m prepared to accept the rationale that for whatever reason, his power doesn’t effect his own power.

After all, it’s best not to think too deeply about the whole mutant thing. I mean really, why would humanity’s next stage of evolution need to involve shooting useless beams of laser out of your eyes constantly unless you wear a specially crafted visor. Bet Darwin never predicted something like that would happen!

What the fuck was the point with Angel? He didn’t even need to be in the story!

X4: Rise of the Sentinels is coming!!!! [Laughs]

I’m guessing you missed my response to Grave, here:

And regarding Grave’s comment, Beast does originally get his blue fur from a lab mistake, but the experiment was with a mutgenic serum, specifically used to give regular human short term mutant powers. When he uses it on himself, he not only gets blue fur, but gets other mutant powers like the ability to run on walls and ceilings like a spider, enhanced senses, an accelerated healing factor, and a feral side he struggles to control. And later on, when he gains a secondary mutation, his features develop even more feline and animal features, which indicates that his physical mutation is related to his powers.

So, if the blue fur is a genetic alteration, it shouldn’t vanish when he goes near Leach.

Also, do they not clearly state that he has the mutant X gene? That just rebutes everything you all say about him not being a mutant.

To hit upon Graves and Xanthers thoughts: The human body is very much composed of water. Our skin has a layer of oil which has a component of water. We have aquaporins that regulate water movement in our body. We have water in our digestive tracts, stomach, etc. Its a component of saliva and therefore, lubricates our entire body. Its a component of our red blood cells, although RBCs are mostly a heme portion it has a component of water. HOWEVER, I clearly remember Gordon being like “why haven’t we felt the effects”, and to this Fox replies along the lines of “it has to be inhaled” therefore, it has to be a vapour. Now, call me stupid but the water that composes the things I just mentioned are so tiny that it would hardly make a difference that would result in death. So to really ease your mind: although we have small components of water, the MW emitter would vapourize the water, but it would have inconsequential effects. So its not like we would vapourize, but instead we will no doubt feel very dehydrated and that would probably lead to our death. If we were the senator from the first X-men, then we might as well start writing our goodbye notes

Although taking into account John’s query, why would this chemical not be absorbed by Leech and negate his powers, rendering the ability useless.

Maybe the chemical needs to enter the blood stream to take effect, and it is his glands producing this chemical in a proximity around his body. His bloody stream may have antibodies that are breaking down the chemical as his own body absorbs it, thus removing it from his system.

Or potentially the chemical must enter the blood stream and it effects the brain, which a chemical in the brain breaking it down before it creates the negating effect.

A theory would be that maybe Leech originally had two powers, one that gave him an immunity to poisons and toxins (like Wolverines healing power), and another that he secreted, such as a toxin, maybe established from when he was young. As he aged, the combination of the two (the broken down toxin he was secreting, and his immunity to particular, or this toxins) mutated into a new, single ability, which was the suppression of the mutant X gene, therefore he was uneffected due to his body breaking down the suppression ability, and using the remains of this broken down suppression toxin for his body to generate more that his glands secrete.

Just a theory…

I have an answer for your quarries in Batman Begins. The thing is mis-information. Many people say that the human body is made up of mostly water. However anytime I cut myself water doesnt come out. Honestly the human body is made up of “moisture” not excatly water. The idea is that H2o can be a solid,gas or liquid. Of course it takes diffrent criteria to change one form to another. Not the machine was designed to change liquid to gas, however it wasnt designed to change solid to gas. There in turn is your answer. The machine was only powerful enough to change the molecules from liquid to gas and if you figure the human body as a solid with moisture then humans are safe however the machine would result in humans sweating alot and our sweat could be vaporized to gas but since there so much moisture to begin with it would take quite awhile b4 we lose our moisture dramaticly enough to kill us in the 20 mins of the films ending. Hope this eases your mind.

@SEB-I like the light switch idea, but once the mutant power, negates the mutant gene, I have a hard time seeing how the gene would mysteriously start back up again

@Kevin C- I think he’s got the answer. Where he may be a mutant, this does not mean that he is the same type of mutant. The term mutant is very broad IMHO. It may be possible that there are more than (ant the proper term eludes me) “places” on the specific chromosome that are mutated. Thereore, while one sezuence of genes causes the power, another sequence on the same X chormosome actually prevent it from functioning on that being. OR, the mutation may affect a specific part of the chormosome on other mutants, but leech himself has a mutation at a different segment of the chomosome, which means it can’t be affected.

@Chip CHief-actually they do show how peter parker can climb walls, there is a close up of the small hook projections that grow on the tips of peter’s fingers and hands. Microscopic they may be, but very adhesive at the same time. That is how most insects can clim on even what appers to be “slippery” surfaces such as glass

Finaly- on a personal note-the most dissapointing, and I mean DISSAPOINTING flaw in comic book movies in the past few years for me is in batman begins. They utilise a microwave machine to vaporise water. My quarell with this is that humans, along with all other animals contain water. In our case about 75-80%. Therefore, once this machine was activated, all the humans should have vaporised as well. I like the entire Batman Begins movie up to that point, I thought it was very “real” but for my satisfaction, I disregard the 10 or so minutes in which that machine is functioning and so on.

If someone could give me an answer to the microwave machine, I would be GREATlY appritiative. Beacause it ruins the end of batman begins for me
