Ok, PR1983, and Shadow King, I will say that after reading your exchange that i could go back and forth disagreeing and agreeing with each of you, but i will venture out onto the branch saying that I think that you can have a "name" in a movie and that its up to the actor to give you what you want or need out of the character. My example once again is Matt Damon... Look at him in Oceans' eleven... his character was s'pose to be a "shadow" in the movie, and he pulled it off. And in case someone says anything.. he can play the "over the top" character as well, ex: Dogma, Good Will Hunting. 😉
Oh, and since we are talking about characters that have been disappointing to this point... Since Rogue has been discussed already, lets talk about Iceman. Ice roses??? In the comic he is one of the original X-men. When are they going to make some of those cool ice slides that he is famous for? And when is my man going to go all "ice" in appearance?💃
because remeber stan lee was lazy when he did the x-men i saw him in an interview once and said he wanted to create a new team of superhero's without going into too much detail on how they got their powers so he said they were mutants and that explained how these people had poweres because they were mutants.
taken from another researched site.... here's your run down.
X2 - Comic Characters and Places Revealed
When Mystique slips into Lady Deathstryke's office and accesses the computer, a listing of names is shown. When this movie first came out, I downloaded a bootleg copy of the movie, and freeze framed it during this scene, wrote down the names and such, and sent the list to several major movie news sites, namely Ain't It Cool News, Cinescape, etc. Only Cinescape had an article about it, which was copied by IMDB and later published in Wizard Magazine.
But if you are lazy, here's the rundown of all the names, places, etc on the two computer screens and their comic book relevance/code names:
Guthrie, Paige (Husk)
Guthrie, Samuel (Cannonball)
Harada, Keniucho (Silver Samurai)
Kane, Garrison (Weapon X)
LeBeau, Remy (Gambit)
Lensherr, Eric M (Magneto)
Maddicks, Artie (Artie)
Madrox, Jamie (Multiple Man)
Mahn, Xi'an Coy (Karma)
Maximoff (2) (Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver. Names weren't specified)
McTaggart, Kevin (Proteus)
Moonstar, Danielle (Moonstar)
Munroe, Ororo (Storm)
--Other Computer Screen--
Omega Red (Russian mutant super soldier)
Muir Island (Scottish mutant research facility, home of X-Team known as Excalibur)
Project Wideawake (Codename for Sentinel project)
Franklin Richards (Son of Fantastic Four's Reed Richards and Sue Storm, born a mutant)
Cerebro (Mutant tracking device created by Professor Xavier and Magneto)
There you have it. Most fans of the comics might have seen it all, but only remember just a few names, well fellow geeks, that's all f-f-f-folks!
