*Possible Spoilers for X3*







A little history according to the real source, Marvel comics (not the friggin cartoon)...

1) Pyro was a memeber of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants along with Magneto and Mystique, who later dropped Magneto and became Freedom Force, a government sponsored mutant special ops squad. I'm waiting for The Blob to come in the story, as he is one of the original villians.

2) Yes, Jean Grey did die in the comics, but on the Blue Area of the moon, where she was killed by an ancient lazer type weapon. She was later resurrected as Pheonix and was also cloned as Madeline and then.. well... it just goes on and on.

3) Hank McCoy, who was briefly in X2, is also known as Beast, and was one of the original 4 X-Men (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Angel and Beast). He later turned blue during some botched experiment, and then got lots of chicks.

Question to comic book heads... was Jason Stryker also known as Legion?

Much of the stories of the 2 movies were developed by Chris Claremont, who is one of the best comic writers, hands down. He and penciller Mark Silvestri are the best team to ever draw and write an X-Men comic. Very dark and bleak at times. Fantastic stuff. Highly recommended.

Some of you might remember Jim Lee, but he blows. He spent all his time drawing hot chicks without moving the stories along.

My hope for X3? One word... Apocalypse... ohhhhhhhh yeah...
