What mutant powers did we learn about this time?

[Johnny Unusual]

Glad to see you guys were stumped by that character's name as well, we spent a good 20 minutes trying to sort out what the hell he was called during the writing process. (seems the filmmakers just pulled a name at random from the X-Men wiki) Fortunately I promptly forgot everything we learned, so I have nothing helpful to contribute.

Putting on my X-Men Geek hat for a minute here:

The credits call him Kid Omega, who was sort of a psychic drug addict gang leader in the comic books.  The powers he exhibits most resemble a comic book continuity mutant named Quill.  Basically, they lifted a character from continuity and gave him the wrong name.  It's kind of confusing, as if they'd included an adamantium skeleton/healing factor mutant and then called him Cyclops.

Taking off my X-Men Geek hat now.  Hopefully I won't need it again for a while.

The Grant Morrison run really got the bums rush by Marvel, which is sad since it's my favourite X-Men run.  Also, in the comics Kid Omega's real name was Quentin Quire, which is a rare instance where the characters real name is cooler than his nom-de-plure.

The hat is made of tin foil, isn't it?

that when your boss tells you to keep someone out of the building, the first thing you do is throw that guy through the window into the building.

Oh lord, this one really bugged the hell out of me.

"Douche Cushion" is already an invaluable contribution.

Please.  The hat is pleasantly round, and made of grape-colored psychic-proof steel.

You know, tin foil gets a bad wrap.

I heard his name was Quill..

I guess my joke went right over your head, eh?

I learned that the residents of San Fransisco routinely drive around during the day with their headlights on. Hey, you never know when it will suddenly become night.

Also helps provide dramatic back lighting.

I just figured that was the sinister work of the mutant Headlighto, who has the uncanny ability to turn on headlights with his mind and drain people's car batteries.

Driving around with your headlights on, Daytime Running Lights, has been standard on all GM cars for over 10 years now and is determined to be safer for other drivers and for pedestrians.  More compelling is how quickly night sets in in San Francisco.

Yup, you also described the drivng habits of my dad.

I didn't know about the GM thing, but I am aware of Daytime Running Lights. I can't stand them. I happen to know that they're required by law in Canada in all new cars.

Even still, all those people not only had DRL, but left their keys in the car with the engine running when they fled?

[Trekker4747]

You're in your car on a bridge when it's suddenly, magically, lifted up by an unseen force and moved to a different location, you decide to flee.  Do you take the time to shut off your car and turn off the lights?

I learned that beer drinking will not result in superpowers. Sorry, RVR.

[Darth Geek]

I learned that Charles Xavier, one of the smartest men on the planet, would think it was a good idea to leave Storm in charge, as played by Halle @*#&%$ Barry!

I learned that a guy who can lift an entire suspension bridge on his own, needs the help of a guy with quills.
