#R:decwrl:-1700:uok:11900017:000:804 uok!crigney May 18 01:58:00 1984 I thought maybe Forge was covering himself when he claimed he was a mutant. I.E. he's *not* a mutant, but didn't want to let Raven Darkholme know that he now knows she's a mutant. What with Forge, the Hellfire Club, Raven, Project:Wunderkind (Gyrich), the X-Men, the New Mutants, Magneto (remember him), and possibly the Defenders; the number of mutant factions is getting a little extreme - it's no wonder Senator Kelly is getting worried. And let's not forget Rachel, Selene, Black Tom(well, he did raise Siryn, and when do we get to see *her* again?), Moira's research institute, and did I forget any other group? I'd like to see Anne (from the X-Men graphic novel) return, on the side of her fellow muties. Good help is *so* hard to find. Carl ..!ctvax!uokvax!uok!crigney ..!duke!uok!crigney

Incidentally, about the "non-normal" detector [quote not extracted] I thought
the whole thing was REAL unlikely. How could such a thing work? Genetic
scanning from a distance? Passively? Nondestructively? Must be magic!
/* ---------- */
It probably detects mutants the same way Cerebro or the Sentinels
do. Mutants have always been identifiable as such in the Marvel
universe. But if Mutant-detectors become widespread, Mystique,
Sebastian Shaw, and their ilk are going to get caught in their
own net. Note already that Shaw has designed his Sentinels to
ignore him (not that they aren't useless anyway - let's see
Stark's new business produce some First-Rate sentinels; they used
to be feared, now they're just giant metal marshmallows).
But then, I'm very fond of the mutant menace storyline - it's one
of the mainstays of my Champion campaign, and a major issue in
the 1982 New York Governor's race in my campaign (which, by the
way, I'm settling by letting the net vote for the candidates.
