I would like Marvel to create the first Biological book on its mutants and the breakdown of the technology used ascertain the information contained therein.

Seriously, I would like to know the anatomy, physiology, and bioelectrical chemistry, and neurological activity of mutants regarding their different "gifts".

I mean, how can the simple manipulation of genes turn ordinary eyes into inter-dimensional openings between this universe and a non-Einsteinian universe - (not to mention the psionic field generated by Cyclops's mind which allows Cyclops's eyes [hee hee] to contain the photon-like particles [you know... the ones that create a concussive blast when interacting with matter from our universe] - this same field also accounts for his immunity to his own blasts)?

Or how does same "accident" of genes create a biochemical and biophysical reaction that allows the individual (Nightcrawler) to instantaneously jump from one dimension to the next and back again resulting in line of sight teleportation?

On top of that, how they heck do you figure out that it is an opening between universes or a biochemical/physical reaction? What kind of equipment exists that can tell you that?

But fiction is fiction. I really should not get so wrapped up with the nuances of a universe that can change on a whim of a new writer or editor...

I wonder if the attention to detail is what keeps trekkies so enthralled [read: obsessed] with that whole universe...

In any case, I can understand healing factors and psionics - telekinetics, telepathy, astral projection - because theoretically that is just a matter of energy conversion/manipulation.

If you would like to see evidence on this, please refer to the "Of course, I do not have evidence to support this conclusion but it sounds good, does it not?" book.

But come on, genius one minute, supersmart-stretchy-I-do-not-have-to-follow-the-rules-of-conservation-of-mass man (a la Reed Richards) after a dose of gamma radiation? Usually gamma rays cause death and cancer... not invisibile shield generation or a flame boy... (the Fantastic 4 and Spider-man would have had to go through some painful gene therapy to get what they have, not to mention re-writing human biology)

but that is not the mutation to which I am referring anyways.

I am talking about Bobby Drake turning into living ice. I am talking about Kitty Pryde phasing through walls. I am talking about Remy LeBeau changing potential energy into "explosive" kinetic energy.

Those types of powers would be cool. Except, I would probably not be very responsible with them (well, just at the beginning)...

but really...

if it is all just energy conversion of some sort, then it would break it down into mind over matter...

unfortunately, that means since I do not have a mind, it really does not matter...
