Senator Kelly in Xmen 1
I recently saw this movie again and was wondering, just what does exactly happen to senator kelly's body after magneto mutated him? He obviously did mutate, but what did he mutate into? It looked like for the briefest of moments he had the power to stretch his body like rubber, but obviously that didn't last too long. Anyone have any idea what he was before he died?
yeah i think because it was an early mutation his body manifested into what ever possible cuz the mutation didnt know what else to do, so it made him stretch, then he turned to water, i mean u can see him heal himself as he walks up onto the beach(when naked) so his body seems to adapt to its surroundings(possible??)

What confused me even more was when Storm tells Magneto that she saw Senator Kelly die, he mentions something like "Are you sure you saw what you saw?" I wonder what that was to suppose to imply.
Maybe something is wrong with me but I almost feel sorry for the guy. True his convictions were absolutely wrong, but imo the movie made it clear that he thought that way because it was wholeheartedly for the good of the public. I almost feel for the guy when he's strapped in magneto's chair, watching as the machine powers up, having no idea of the horrible death he'll have. He deserved something, but not that. If anything General Stryker deserved that type of ironic death, not Kelly.
Ofcourse Kelly deserved to die like that. Do you know what it means to have one person hate you so much and turn almost a whole country against you. Trust me he deserved to die. And Stryker got his fair share of pain. Wolvie's claws through his ribs. Magneto slamming him (offscreen) against a wall and then chaining him up. after taht dragged through the trees bla bla bla you get the point

i always thought that that line was made to create a doubt in the x-men: Is Professor really that good? (im not sure if hes able to create a scene on someone's head, but he's sure a loot powerful)
in x2 you have the thing of "this tough helmet is what protects me from the real bad guys" and all
i hope to see if x3 continues my theory...
The real bad guy was definitely Stryker, then second is Kelly. Magneto can be considered an anti-hero, a guy who seeks to do the right thing in his mind but through unorthodox methods.
btw did anybody else notice the reference of what happened to Kelly's late assistant, Guyritch. It seems he was "mauled by a bear" is how the newscast described it.
