I use to be a fan of this series back when I was playing the old X-Men games on the Sega Genesis. Since the movies have come out I've only seen X-Men: Origins. I need to round up most of the movies in the franchise and kinda watch them in order to get a feel of it and the characters and get back into the story.

(SPOILER)In my head, I stick with Shadowcat x Colossus, but the movies messed up all the romances.
(SPOILER)Except Jean & Logan/Scott.
Yeah, but that one goes without saying. Mostly I am just mad that there was a distinct lack of Shadowcat x Colossus.Quote:

(SPOILER)It was hinted towards in X-Men: The Last Stand and pretty blatantly obvious in Days of Future Past considering they were holding hands when they met with Xavier. Also, Rogue's still alive in DoFP though all of her scenes (Aside from the little cameo at the end) were cut.Quote:

They were good enough for the trailer, but not the movie. Interesting how that works out.
(SPOILER)Oh I thought Rogue died in the future and that's how the sentinels were able to use mutant powers because they had her dna while they were able to shift and adapt because of Mystique.
(SPOILER)Actually, it was a supposed to be from Mystique. I think Mystique is able to "mime" another mutants powers when she is in the form of that mutant. (SPOILER)In the Days of Future Past episodes of the cartoon she was able to use Gambit's powers as him.Quote:

Mystique's powers, even in the movies, are pretty unique and extraordinary. She can change the size and structure structure of virtually every part of her body, from bones to muscle, teeth to skin, even mimicking fingerprints, retina and voices perfectly. She also has conscious control over this ability. The sheer extent and variety of changes offered by her mutation go beyond what most other mutants can do: while others may have remarkable powers of mind or body, they're generally in a fixed state.Quote:

(SPOILER)As we saw from the future Sentinels, the ability to change size, shape, texture and physical properties at will was an enormous, almost unbeatable advantage through sheer adaptability. Nothing to do with Mystique actually being able to mimic other mutants' powers or abilities.
I agree with Big D.
I also want Mystique's abilities. I would celebrity prank call so many people.
