“It’s the weekend, let’s have a hot sunny day.”
“I wanna go skiing today and I know it’s July.”
“Sorry boss, can’t come in today, massive tonado storms have downed trees all over the place. There’s a state of emergency.”
Yeah, Storm.
I’ve always identified with Hank McCoy. Both geeks in various ways, both corporally larger than the average person, excelled academically and in sports (Hank played football, I played hockey), loners in many ways despite being surrounded by people like ourselves.
I grew up with this show and comic book being my favorite. My all time favorite X-Men was always Colossus. How cool would it be to have a guy that turns into indestructible steel?
Although Nightcrawler might be the more useful one. It would be nice to just teleport anywhere.
I’d want to be buds with Nightcrawler. Can you imagine the convenience of teleportation? I could hit up daily sessions all over the world!
(although to be completely fair to the geek inside me, Nightcrawler could only teleport as far as he could see. It wasn’t really possible for him to go from Alabama to Dublin, for example, in one quick jump.)
Then again, it would be really cool to have Cyclops as a best friend and when someone said, “If looks could kill…” and I could hurry up and say, “Do it Scott Summers.” That would be so funny that pop would squirt out their noses.
