You may have read X-men Forever but you dont seem to have grasped the story very well. The characters consciousnesses were transported by Prosh into their bodies at points in time important to human evolution. It was this experience that allowed body to gain greater control over his powers. The fact that during the story he came back to the present and pulled off what he did against Prosh and Stranger should tell you all you need to know. Either way theres no need to debate this it is a part of current continuity. Heres a mention of its events in Bobbys last bio:
At the end of the day theres absolutely nothing IW can do to Bobby. Her powers are completely ineffective against this type of foe. Bobby can and has used his powers in mist form. Whether or not Bobby manages to get her from the offset before she can protect herself with a shield is irrelevant. She needs to breathe he would get her eventually.
When you read that post, you defeat yourself completely. The third to last paragraph of that bio clearly states, "Two subsequent events served to shed further light on Iceman's untapped potential."
UNTAPPED POTENTIAL. Those powers he manifested in the future against the Sentinels are not his present powers and are as of present continuity, untapped. The only reason he could use them in X-Men Forever is because he existed in his future self and reatined it throughout X-Men Forever. Once they were finished however, those powers went back to being untapped. They are powers he can eventually obtain and master. The events in "The Twelve" and "X-Men Forever" are clear indicators of how far Bobby has to go in present continuity.
Now, I'm not saying he isn't powerful in his current state (or rather right before HoM, no spoilers for those who don't know!), but by looking at Bobby's performance in the last year or two of X-Men (whether it's Austen's or Milligan's run) and this own bio of yours that you yourself posted, Bobby does not have full access to the abilities that you guys are espousing will totally r0x0rz Invisible Woman.
Untapped potential....as in HE HAS MORE POTENTIAL THAN WHAT HE HAS ALREADY LEARNED IN X-MEN FOREVER... wow what a concept to grasp....and yet he HAS used those powers that he gained in X-men Forever... so Im not following your logic on that one...
