The untreatable disease also makes Ashlyn incapable of sensing extreme temperatures -- hot or cold -- disabling her body's ability to cool itself by sweating. Otherwise, her senses are normal.
Sounds like a Mutant cover-up to me. Someone call Professor Charles Xavier quickly!


"That doesn't hurt me!"

Many things they couldn't anticipate. Ashlyn's baby teeth posed big problems. She would chew her lips bloody in her sleep, bite through her tongue while eating, and once even stuck a finger in her mouth and stripped flesh from it.
AAAAAAAAAAAaaaah that poor girl!! Thinking about it hurts me... :(

Hmmm....sounds like its not a cover-up at all. They admited it, either its not a cover-up, or they really suck at doing so.

That's really interesting, I think I found the topic for my report for school now :sneaky:

"..I'd give anything for her to feel pain."

lmao that sounds funny..

Yes, I would say somethin about how that is cool and how she could fight crime except for one thing. She couldn't. She has as much a chance as fighting crime as us, maybe worse. Her body can still get hurt, she just can't feel it. Imagine if she was shot, we would immediately try to do something about it, she on the other hand would not know unless she saw it.

Thats why she would make an awesome crime fighter.

Sure, she can get shot in the face, lose half of her face, we would panic and scream, she wouldnt even notice. Imagine how scared you would be if you blew off half a little girls face and she kept chasing you.

That's both sad and cool at the same time. Too bad its not a world where it wouldn't matter if you couldn't feel pain, you'd be nearly invincible.

If you couldn't feel pain, and you were in the Matrix, then you would be invincible.

Just because she can't feel it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt her. She wouldn't be chasing anyone with her face blown off, 'cause she'd be dead.

Just because you can't feel the bullet doesn't mean it hasn't ripped apart your heart.
