U make assumptions constantly. Im not sure If u do it on accident because u sincerely dont know what ur talking about or if ur just trying to manipulate information for the sake of ur argument.

Except that same idea was re-visited in the regular FF series where it was stated that the generation of the FF powers wasn't really an accident. That's why SHIELD was preparing a mission to re-create the FF's powers under the same conditions. So if the idea is explored in both X4 and FF's own book, it's obviously something that's becoming part of canon now.
Here's a good example of what Im talking about. Yes Shield wanted to replicate the exact conditions of the F4's flight. However they didnt know if the flight would yield identical powers to the F4. And it was revieled that it wasnt an accident AFTER Shield wanted to duplicate it....u've got your chronology mixed up there...They just wanted super powered soldiers. U should also read the commentary in the back of those issues; a lot of fans had trouble with this idea because it was inconsistent in light of the previous examples I made i.e. the U-Foes and Red Ghost. But like I said, This doesnt support ur argument because its never implied that the same "pseudo-elemental" powers described in X4 were going to be granted to the soldiers....so no, its nothing like X-4 in fact, I have no idea where u were going with this...either u did a bad job of reading the comic book or ur just trying to lie to make ur argument look better.

Something similar even happened during the last part of Waid's run, where random people were being hit with the cosmic powers of the FF and developing identical powers to the FF. So those are three separate references in a year that gives information contrary to your statements. While what you're saying USED to be true, it's clearly not the case anymore.
There u go again. WTF are u talking about? Their powers were jumping around after the fight with Galactus that removed the F4's powers and Galactus' powers. It wasnt that people were being mutated....its that the specific team member's powers were jumping from person to person in New York; each member of the F4 had to get in contact with someone who was temporarily containing their powers. Again this has nothing to do with your argument...I think u misinterpreted the comics again.
So where u tried to say there were three separate references that proved me wrong...there were actually zero...and two that u badly misinterpreted.

Well, there's your evidence right there. She-Thing is pretty specific, isn't it?
Yes, She Thing remains the only person in 616 continuity to gain a power identical to a member of the F4 from cosmic rays.
U might want to go check out the old F4 vs X-Men cross over. Remember what the whole story was about? About Doom planting an entry in Reed's journal describing how he had previous knowledge of the F4's genotypes that suggested they would acquire powers from exposure to cosmic rays? And that he subjected them to the rays on purpose?

the point you're missing is that there are different types of cosmic rays. Remember, gamma rays are considered cosmic rays. The rays that hit the spider that gave Spider-Man his powers were also considered cosmic rays. So "cosmic rays" by themselves don't say much. I don't know if you read anything but back issues of FF, but a relationship between those specific cosmic rays and the FF's specific powers has been established several times over the past year. So X4 has done a good job in keeping with current events.
Im not missing out on this at all. In fact, ur setting urself up for failure. Why bring up other radiation beings? The Hulk, Leader, Wonderman, Doc Samson, Abomination, Madman, Dr Octopus, Spiderman, Rhino, Sasquatch, U-Foes, The entire inhabitants of Middletown, etc. All of these people exposed to different kinds of radiation were each effected differently and its been explained many times over that their unique powers are due to their unique genotype.
I will reiterate, X-4 did not do a good job at staying consistent with what is cannon.

Sue didn't beat Emma to the draw. I completely believe that Sue's thought processes are as fast as Emma's. Therefore if Emma has no intention of hurting Sue and Sue wants to take out Emma, by the time Emma is alerted to Sue's intention, Sue could take Emma out. I don't dispute that at all. However, that's not really quickdraw, is it?
...Emma lost to Sue.
I dont care cuz i dont even think X4 is in conitnuity anyway.
Its sad how u have to make this over drawn rationalization to convince urself that Emma didnt lose though.

It would pretty much be:Emma: blah blah blah, we should take a hard line against blah blah
Sue's thoughts: I don't like her tone, I'm gonna put her down now
Emma's telepathy: *alert* Sue is planning to attack
Emma: Are you kidding m...*WHAM*
I dont know what this is or what is has to do with what ACTUALLY happned in the comic book. I guess its one way the fight could possibly go in ur head...but thats not very comforting considering Wolverine 8888 could make an argument (that would seem feasable enough to him) for wolverine to beat Sentry.

That's absolutely feasible and likely what happened. Emma isn't immune to sneak attacks, but that proves absolutely nothing about Sue's ability to take down a prepared Emma.
Prepared as in prep? so u realize in this fight Emma wouldnt be able to sneak attack Sue with TP either? Then it would still be a short fight where Sue would utterly destroy her.

Oh, so now IW is the Green Lantern? I don't buy it. I've been reading FF since the Heroes Reborn reboot and she's shown no such ability. I've seen her create fields of different shapes and sizes. She's made swords out of it, and bo staffs out of it, and slides out of it, and she's floated them gently or expelled them with incredible force. But I've never seen a single instance where she's made it soft, or she's blocked light, and she's damn sure never blocked telepathy with it.
So that leaves out perhaps the most important run for IW which was probably the Defalco period...Reed was presummed dead during a good chunk of his run and Sue was the leader. Thing once tried to catch a falling construction worker, Sue pointed out that landing in his rock hard arms would probably be worse than hitting the ground and made a pillow like field. Once in a confrontation with Galactus at ground zero, IW shielded the F4 with a field that blocked out every frequency of the EM spectrum, including light. DeFalco even described how her powers are PSIONIC manipulations of Hyperspace before she shattered the armor of Exitar the Celestial (another issue u probably missed). If u've been reading the F4 since heroes reborn that means u've seen very little...it means u've missed out on most of the better F4 writers like Byrne who also showed IW's powers very dynamically.

No, I don't need scans. But I require more information to provide context. You kept bringing up how she blocked Psi-Lord, and whenever I asked for more information, I never got anything until someone else posted it. And, as I expected, it's a pretty clear case of PIS given that she displayed a whole array of powers she doesn't have. Or are you saying she now has the ability to invade people's minds with a "special" forcefield?
Like Nathaniel Richards determined, Sue's powers are fundamentally PSIONIC but her fields are a demonstration of Sue's ability to tap into the dimension of hyperspace. If u had read that comic book, or others concerning Malice, u would know that malice is a type of psionic/psychological issue of IW's that was caused by Psychoman. If her psionic abilities dont resemble those of the mutant telepaths ur so familiar with, it doesnt mean its PIS, its just different from what ur used to in the pages of X-Men. It wasnt a forcefield, but it was a manifestation of her psionic powers which are not limited to forcefields.
