Maggot never once had slugs sticking out of his mouth. They were two large mechanical looking slugs that entered his stomach. He was also BLACK.

Of course, but it's a little different to go from a south african, bald man (with a strand of white hair) in his late teens (at LEAST) who used two large slugs as a digestive system to a young white kid with brown hair and a forked tongue.

Yeah, but Angel was white prior to being turned blue. I don't think the same is true for Maggott. Though it may be. I was just teasing anyhow.

Actually, Maggot only turns blue when he powers up. Otherwise, he's black.

Just got to see the film this afternoon.....a WHOLE LOT OF FUN! I really liked how they cameoed Colossus. I would have liked to have seen more of him, but you know what? It made sense to use his character the way that they did. They were able to use him nicely, and he had a nice bit of interaction with ...... well, at the risk of this being a "tiny spoiler".... I won't say it. Nothing really that spoils, but just to be on the safe side, I won't. I also loved what they did with Pyro.

Essex

05-05-2003, 08:04 PM

Colossus's cameo WAS very well thought out. His exit, though, was equally intelligent. It's obvious that his effects are expensive, but it's also obvious that he'd be a lot of help to Wolverine. I'm glad they threw in a couple lines that made his exit NOT seem like it was forced so they didnt have to keep up his effects http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/wink.gif

Hey Essex!
Excellent point. The filmmaker's, I believe, make a great exit for him, and at the same time, set him up for the next X film. They had just enough of him in the film that you wanted to see more of him, but when he exited, you also got to see good banter between he and Logan; and it was an intelligent choice of how they did it. With the sort of money that this flick is going to make (and has ALREADY made), you can bet that they are going to have a whole lot more for him to do in X-3.

Well, I caught the cameo of Colossus, but who were shadowcat, maggot, jubilee? And what I saw with beast......... well, I don't want to give it away here, but was his cameo the one with the T.V. interview? I think you know to what I'm reffering to.... I just thought that that was supposed to be a "sly way" of using a character's real name to get him into the storyline, you know, much the same way that they used Father Everett in DAREDEVIL (Father Everett was supposed to be a Marvel refference to BILL Everett, who co-created DAREDEVIL with Stan Lee).

Essex

05-06-2003, 12:33 PM

As we've said earlier, there is definitely no Maggott cameo. However, I don't see how you could miss Jubilee or Shadowcat...Kitty was involved in the long scene where she fell through her bedroom floor then escaped from the invaders by phasing through everything in sight. Jubilee was one of the captured mutants and was mentioned by name when Storm called for her.

just to let you guys know the kingpin was originally black but he was changed to be white in the spider-man cartoon.

by the way maggot was not in the movie, but gambit, beast, syrin, colossus, jubilee, artie, psylocke, and many more were in it. THough many were just names on a computer they still made an appearrance. Angel was supposed to be in it but his scene was cut.

LOL, how could you miss shadowcat? The girl running through walls and soldiers, that was her. I didn't see maggot either. I only noticed jubilee near the end when all the students sat down in Xavier's office. Yes, Dr. Henry McCoy is Beast, no creator cameo, that was the actual character.

Have you read the original comics... like his first appearance in ASM #50... He was most defenitely not black! Where do you get this from? He was black only in Daredevil because MCD was the best actor for the role...

I'm surprised no one else has responded to this... this is a comics2film site (most of us are farely knowledgeable concerning comics) and where did you get this piece of fiction from? I'd like to know who misinformed you.

And I never saw anything of Psylocke. Care to point out where she was?

The thing is, I knew that Dr. Henry McCoy was The Beast, I just was amazed that they didn't have something a little bit more about him. And, the thing about missing Shadowcat: I'm more familiar with the ORIGINAL X-Men characters then I am with the newer one's. SHE may not be as new as I'm thinking, but I never heard of her. But thanks for clearing up who she was for me. Now, Jubilee, I forget again, what is her/his ability again? And who was Jubilee in t he Professor's office?

Jubilee is able to create small explosions of light and sound like firecrackers that shoot out of her hands much like a sparkler. Thats about it. She's a pretty much useless character IMO. Also her background story is a lot like Rogue's from the movie in that she ran into Wolverine and helped him out of a tight spot and then he in turn brought her to Proffessor X's school.

Hello Mr. Trades!
To be honest, I'm talking about the X-Men from the days when it was just the original 4 or 5. Once the seventies and eighties came along, I think that's when they started expanding the ranks, right? At one point, and correct me if I'm wrong about this, there were mutants being introduced every month or so. So I'm familiar with guys like Colossus, Gambit (even though I need a refresher on THAT one as well), but once we start getting into the nineties, I'm sort of lost.

Bigkid

Shadowcat, aka Sprite, aka Kitty Pryde, was introduced around the time of the Phoenix saga. As you saw, she can pass through walls or anyother solid object. She was very young when she first joined (13-ish) and more than often got left behind on missions. Later, she grew into her own (really, when people saw what she was capable of in Days of Future Past) and even became romantically involved with Colossus. She later joined Excalibur.

Psylocke...well that's a little more complicated. Around the time of the Mutant Massacre, a purple-haired British woman named Elizabeth Braddock (sister of Captain Britain) joined the X-Men. She was a very powerful telepath and was even able to fight off Sabretooth (kinda...). Years later, the entire X-Men team at the time went through what was called the Siege Perilous, after they were seemingly all killed. The Siege Perilous was a type of gateway, that would essentially give rebirth and a new beginning to anyone who passed through it. Later, Psylocke returned...but as an asian ninja (also known as Lady Mandarin). It was later revealed (in a VERY confusing 1990's story) that after going through the Siege Perilous, Psylocke's mind was switched with a woman named Kwannon (an asian ninja http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/wink.gif). Kwannon later returned to the X-Men, claiming to be the true Elizabeth Braddock (retaining some residue from Psylocke's mind). She stayed with the X-Men for a while under the name Revanche (though I have NO clue why an asian/brittish woman took a French name...), however, she was a victim of the Legacy Virus, and was dying quickly. She basically committed suicide by fighting a man (Matsu'o, i think) she knew she couldn't beat. After that, Psylocke remained an X-Man for some time(the one in the Japanese body), but she was recently killed in action.

And if you thought THAT was confusing, I didn't even get into anything about the "Crimson Dawn." http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/biggrin.gif

Okay guys, the 25,000 dollar question is;
Who is Forge, what are his powers, and what other name (or name's) has he been called?

Just a note, I think he'd make a good character for a future X-film.

MarvelKid18

05-10-2003, 05:31 PM

Forge was in X-Factor, and I know his first appearance was in Uncanny #184... I never figured out his name, and all I know about his powers is that he can invent things, but I couldn't go into detail about it...

Essex

05-10-2003, 05:53 PM

Haha, what is this, a trivia game?? I'll keep it brief this time.

Anyway, as MarvelKid said, Forge's power is that he is able to build and create anything he can think of, including his mechanical leg and hand (to replace the ones he lost in 'Nam). In his past, he was a mystical shaman and was once known as "The Maker." He was once a member of the X-Men and was romantically involved with Storm, but after she refused to leave the X-Men for him, he left her and the team and ended up shackin' up with Mystique. He soon became the new goverment liaison to X-Factor, replacing Val Cooper, and eventually became team leader.

Forge is rumoured to be alive far in the future (at the very least, 80 years from now), going by the name of Genesis, and may have been the founder of the X.S.E., the team Bishop worked for.

Thanks Essex, for those explanations. However (and hopefully I'm not being TOO much of a pain in the ass, here), I'm still unsure as to what psylocke's powers were. You mentioned that she was a powerful telepath. Same powers as Jean Gray I imagine?

Essex

05-10-2003, 06:08 PM

Psylocke isn't quite as powerful as Jean Grey. However, she can focus her telepathy into a "psychic knife." Basically, it's an energy knife that comes out of her hand that seriously messes up a person's mind if they are "stabbed" with it.

Also Colossus is in the last scene as he comes into the room with the rest of the class. He is the big guy. So he is still very young.

No offense, but this just makes NO sense at all. Ignoring the fact that the filmmakers stated it was her, why would they make a cameo of Banshee and inexplicably alter him to the point where he's not recognizable. Furthermore, while there has been some messing with the ages of characters, Singer has always remained as faithful as possible and de-aging Banshee by 30 years and changing his SEX isn't something he'd do.

Artie was the boy with the forked tongue.

That kid isn't supposed to be an adaptation of any existing character. He's new.

Bigkid, originally, Artie was a pink-skinned child, very alien-looking in appearance. He became mute after his mutation manifested, but was able to communicate by projecting telepathic/holographic images of whatever he was thinking. He was found by X-Factor early on, and later forged a long friendship with Leech, a Morlock who looked remarkably like him, only green. Both of them later joined Generetion X (kinda...).
