Spoilers:

7) I thought Beast was not a mutant because he was originally not blue and furry. That came later, as a result of one of his science experiments I believe. Forgot Juggernaut is Xavier\'s bro but NOT a mutant.

I agree! Some of those questions had absolutely nothing to do with the comics or movies or cartoons. I got most of those wrong. Got all but one comic related one right.

The thing with beast is that his experiments were the cause of his mutations, as opposed to being born that way... Where as Juggernauts powers were magical in nature.

Thats just sour grapes:D - I got it rightlol
I got it right too - still doesn\'t make it an X-men question :D

From Wikipedia:
Some years later, in Amazing Adventures (volume 2) #11, McCoy [Beast] left the X-Men after completing a doctorate in biophysics at the Xavier Institute and became a research scientist at Brand Corporation, a genetics research facility. He isolated a chemical catalyst in hope of reducing the freakish aspects of his appearance, but it instead mutated him further, as he grew gray fur all over his body, which later turned blue and acquired sharp ears, elongated canine teeth, claws, enhanced senses and an accelerated healing factor.
He gave up his humanity for science. Most scientists just give up their sanity, about 2/3 of the way through their PhD...

And technically, Wolverine is not a muntant - he\'s a mutate - if you\'re going to say he predates the X-men, then you have to admit to his being part of the Canadian super soldier program to find ways to stop the HULK!!

HULK SMASH!!!!

77% thanks to the actually non x-men questions. How do questions about the actors come across as being questions about the x-men?

Er... 100% correct!:duh:

One of the peevs having worked ina comicbook store...


Actually Wolverine is a Mutant. He had the healing abilities from himself. The super soldier program just uhm, improved him?!

@Steelcult: wasn\'t it The Incredible Hulk issue189 (could be a few issues off!) where Wolverine first appeared?

Right, off to more dorkyness to do the other quizzes...lol

Beast was always a mutant - he just wasn\'t hairy. The quote you used actually says this!

As has already been said Wolverine\'s power was the healing ability which stopped the experiments that replaced his skeleton with adamantium from killing him.

The sad part is I remember all this from reading the original comics - which are now long gone:(

Wish I still had them they are worth quite a bit now I think!
