The Green Lantern looks freakin' awesome!!! Can't wait to see it. Looks like they're going to stay pretty close to the comic book....thank goodness! The other two I'm looking forward to are Captain America, which also looks pretty close, and Cowboys and Aliens.

They went off on all kinds of tangents, depending on which comic you read, but I don't remember any radioactive accidents with the X's.

As for the X-Men, there's so many of them in the comics (30?) and they've had different histories that it's difficult to say. The first set were so called because they had eXtra powers and there was something about it being caused by radiation exposure; then it was that they had a X gene and were natural mutations. Some of the later characters had different origins, but generally it was the mutant gene that because the default reason.]]> PAW The Movie Phorum Fri, 03 Jun 2011 06:41:18 +0100 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25618#msg-25618 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25618#msg-25618 Janaru The Movie Phorum Sun, 29 May 2011 12:37:03 +0100 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25515#msg-25515 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25515#msg-25515 PAW The Movie Phorum Fri, 27 May 2011 14:49:24 +0100 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25504#msg-25504 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25504#msg-25504 yellow Sun of Earth that gives Superman his powers.

Most of the comic book knowledge I got was from my older brother who looooved comic books, so naturally I read a lot of his when I was a kid. I also have boys who loved comic books, so that's were I got most of my edjumication. :)


I would say Superman would be able to withstand a nuclear melt-down. He gets his powers here on Earth from the Sun and he's like uber-powered. As far as I know, and I double checked this with my youngest, the only things that can get to Superman are Kryptonite (pieces of his home planet, Krypton) or magic (i.e. via Zatanna Zatara). I may be wrong and I'm sure if there are Superman fans out there, they can set me straight on that.]]> Janaru The Movie Phorum Fri, 27 May 2011 03:45:27 +0100 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25494#msg-25494 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25494#msg-25494 lifeonmarsfan The Movie Phorum Fri, 27 May 2011 03:28:26 +0100 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25492#msg-25492 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25492#msg-25492

Having the webs come out of his wrist also changes a lot of the stories and jams Peter gets in when his web fluid runs out. It's a pretty integral part of the original character and shouldn't have been changed, imo.

But it has to maintain its internal logic - if Peter Parker was able to build devices to spin webs he would have been a different person - having it be part of the changes due to the radiation fits better.]]> PAW The Movie Phorum Fri, 27 May 2011 01:44:23 +0100 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25434#msg-25434 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25434#msg-25434 PAW The Movie Phorum Fri, 27 May 2011 01:41:57 +0100 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25427#msg-25427 http://beebotron.org/phorum/read.php?26,25144,25427#msg-25427 The webs out of the wrist, along with all the other changes, made more sense than him being able to develop the technology to do it.

Hopefully they will just take a "what if" sort of take on X-Men, instead of the out and out sacrilege they did with Spider-Man. I mean really? Webs coming out of the wrist? My boys and I almost walked straight out of the theater after that reveal. 8-)
