Paladins are trained to develop a sixth sense that allows them to anticipate where a Jumper will appear next.

So for example, a Jumper teleports, a Paladin immediately senses "right" and nails him just as he re-appears.

If that was the case, Griffin and David wouldn't have walked all up and down their asses.

And Chomper, a Paladin was like a samurai or a knight, if you were their kid, and you did something that made the feudal lord/regent/etc... want you dead, chances are either they'd kill you, or send you away. Their dedication to the cause is greater than their dedication to family.

As for the Paladins, Roland showed extremely slight super strength, and he had a fair bit of durability shown when Griffin multipled his mass and strength then punched him through that wall.

QFT.

Yeah, but if they see their son committed a murder or something, it would be against everything they stood for to not turn him in.

Let me put it like this....imagine the Paladins as modern day Crusaders, in medieval times, the Crusaders were on a quest to convert everyone they came across, and they'd kill those who wouldn't convert.

The Paladins see Jumpers as abominations in the eyes of God, because they can go wherever they want, and essentially do everything they want. The Paladins know nothing is gained without consequences, which is why they hunt the Jumpers....no one should have that much power but God.

but thats wrong accusing all of em as abominations everyone is different. its like in the mutant world almost all the human race wants mutants extinct. sure there are some bad ones but you cant accuse all of them of being a threat and dangerous to be around.

I never said it was right, I said that's what the Paladins believe. Roland himself states that several times through the movie.

Very well. This is what it states:

"Over the years, the Paladins have cultivated a special skill – the ability to sense when a Jumper is about to Jump in the vicinity. This heightened awareness gives the Paladins a much needed tool to use when battling the Jumpers. Today, Paladins are so good at killing Jumpers that few make it to adulthood."

Stated in the movie?

Sorry Monkey, extra content doesn't count. Like X3 Juggernaut was vunerable to lightning in the deleted scenes of the movie. Since it wasn't in the main movie, he's not vulnerable to lightning.

i didnt even bother watching the deleted scenes.

i think movie jumper has better skills at teleporting than movie nightcrawler. nightcrawler admitted he has to see where he is going to teleport. jumper can jump from vegas to jamaica if he wanted to.

also nightcrawler makes a big BAMF sound when teleporting. jumper is more quite how he ports.

I said the Jumpers could port farther, but NC and Wraith teleport better during fights. NC took out an entire detail of Secret Service agents within 2 minutes. Wraith took on Sabretooth and didn't die for a few seconds.

I'll take Griffins abilities over NC or Wraith.

If you can port around Sabretooth, then you're good.

Plus he has guns.
