Being able to copy powers from humans with the x-gene?

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.

She can copy looks, not powers. It was Trask's tech that allowed sentinels to utilize her ability to alter her looks to let them adapt new powers. And then it was only powers from proper mutants like myself and Silent pointed out.
Sentinels didn't seem to be able to copy every power either. E.g Never copied Magneto, or Storm's. IMO, they couldn't replicate things like Telekinesis, Telepathy, time travel etc.
The sentinels didn't seem to "copy" as much as "adapt" to what they needed. I really think they used Mystique's(amplified by Trask) power to change their exterior to whatever they chose to kill the mutants. That's why there was a diamond plated one and one with Deathstrike-like claws in the final battle even tho there were no mutants present with those powers.
hey look it Grimes, I wonder if you're tired after running from the other thread for so long. It's hilarious that you challenge me to post proof, when you ran away because you couldn't post proof to back up your claim. The irony is rich here.
The Future Sentinels had the powers of every mutant they killed in combat; they demonstrated this during the movie when they utilized Emma's Diamond Form and Lady Deathstrikes Claws...
This is demonstrated during the movies intial scene with them; the Sentinel that killed Sunspot uses his power to melt through the wall that Shadowcat and Bishop where hiding behind...
Just because they didnt use her power didnt mean they werent able to; PIS moments occur in movies just as they occur in comics...
Fact #1, we saw them successfully utilize the power of a mutant that had fallen to them after the mutant was dead and gone...Sunspot.
Fact #2, we saw them use mutant powers of mutants that we never saw on screen...Lady Deathstrike and Emma.
Add those two facts up and there is zero reason why they couldnt utilize Blinks power; especially considering that we saw them interact directly with her powers as well as the fact that she fell to them...
Plot was the only limiting factor as far as I can see...

There is no reason to believe they had to first encounter Sunspot to use fire, or encounter Iceman to use ice. Mystique is able to alter he outward appearance so there is no reason to think these Sentinels weren't doing the exact same thing(upgraded of course). None of their powers were more than an exterior change. None did anything more like shooting lightning after encountering Storm, or phasing after encountering Kitty, or energy absorption/Bishop or magnetism, TP, ect.
Simply put they didn't "steal" powers. They also didn't adapt a la Darwin either. They changed their outer makeup to combat specific threats.
What they were doing was more than just changing the way their exterior looked...
They changed the way their bodies performed (which constitues more than just a cosmetic change)...
The Sentinel at the beginning of the movie that copied Colossus's power grew considerably stronger (their strength appeared comparable prior to the power copying) and crushed him very rapidly once it assimilated his power set into its being...
Now you're confusing what I said. I said they changed their exterior, I should've added that their interior would change to as Mystique is able to change height and weight and thus interior changes would have to be made as well, but I am not saying it was only cosmetic at all. And again it is upgraded from what Mystique can do
Can you point to one instance where the Sentinels used a power that was not "just" a change in their body? When they "used Sunspot's power" were they able to shoot flames like him? When they "used Iceman's power" were they able to spam ice? Never once was any change anything more than an alteration of their own bodies. Just like Mystique. Yes they are superior to Mystique but the concept is the same. "Can change body" is their ability plain and simple
Never thought DOFP movie Sentinels would gain an irrational fanboy....
