What is the potential for abuse of this?

I read the entire site about Oxygent and everywhere it keeps saying how it delivers oxygen to the cells much much more efficiently and quickly than normal blood cells. The first adverse effects occur 2 hours after infusion and that's just elevated body temperature. Oxygent will also thin out your blood due to its small overall size thus allowing for easier blood flow.
My question is, just prior to an athletic event (or even an exam for that matter) you dose up on this stuff. It won't necessarily help with energy delivery but the extra oxygen that hits your muscles and brain cells will help extremely. Muscle fatigue occurs mostly because of lack of oxygen to the muscles after all.
Remember that X-Files episode about people drilling holes in their skulls to allow better oxygen access to the brain and how that would enhance brain functions? Well, this stuff will do it for you with a big shot.
If it can live up to what it claims, it could be really really interesting.
No, Cannonball runs, not flies. And yes, Cannonball used to wear goggles in his costume.
Someone said that Colossus was the kid running on the water. What??!!! Gigantic Russian man capable of turning his body to steel running on water? What comic book has that person been reading?
We were never supposed to hate Magneto at all. Did he kill anybody? Well, besides the Senator, no (and that was on accident). We're supposed to understand how Magneto is thinking. You forget he was around during the Holocaust when all Jews had to pretty much be registered and wear a big prominent star. Magneto thought that if legislation passed to have every mutant registered, it would only be the beginning of another holocaust, a holocaust that he now has the powers to prevent.
Katz is just an idiot. Is he 9 years old or something? I've never bothered reading his other posts before.
That's the theater doing it, dummy. If it truly was the movie, then go to another theater chain and see if they show the same commercials. If you're right they will show the exact same commercials and trailers. Gee, between the commercials and trailers they usually show the "consession stand" commercial. Are you saying that this is the same in every theater as well?
That and couldn't everybody tell that he was just moving fast??? You know the blurred trailing image? I can't believe how many people here are saying the kid was teleporting. He was just running fast! And Nightcrawler was born blue and all.
Most likely Cannonball since Quicksilver is a much older guy and Cannonball is still a kid (although not that young). Didn't Cannonball wear glasses as well? I remember him doing so.
You forget Gambit just sort of came along as well. He never really joind the school until after joining the X-Men. Having Prof X try to get Wolverine and Rogue into the school was enough of a plot without having to try to get Gamibt in as well. Gambit's power is going to be kind of hard to explain as well.
Yeah, Bobby Drake is his name and Kathryn Pride is Kitty, aka Shadowcat. Wasn't it great how the girl that played Kitty kinda looked like the comic book Kitty? Same spunk and everything. The person with the flame was Pyro.
One of the things I love best about the X-men/mutant series is that everybody has very obvious weaknesses. It's great that way.
I need to see this movie at least another 5 times just so I can spot more characters!! I bet every student they show is somehow one comic book character. It's just damn hard spotting them when they don't use their powers. I loved that basketball scene where a kid's like "Hey, no powers!"
Good eye with the Colossus spot, whoever posted it.

Right! I forgot all about that. Although they may not have Rogue fight Ms Marvel, the writers may have her fight someone with equal powers to gain the same results. Maybe Ms Evil or something. What's also funny is that in the comic books, Mystique was Rogue's real mom. Wonder if they'll ever bring that up. I guess that would make Mystique a MILF. If you don't know, watch American Pie.
Yeah, it was easy to emphasize with Magneto. What was great was when Wolverine brought up how if Magneto was a real humanitarian, he'd strap himself into the machine instead of Rogue. Magneto's face displayed a little thought at that moment. He's just a man with many conflicts and doing what he thinks is right. There were many times in the comic book where he did what everybody would deem good. It's just that he's been extremely scarred from youth.
True. If peta.org wanted to sell advetisement banner space, they'd pull out their stats on how many hits they've gotten and everything. Now, how many of those hits were legitimate and how many were from people that really wanted to go to peta.com? The fact is he would be gaining financially because of the Peta name. Why didn't Peta register peta.org? I always thought it was a non-profit organization. It would have suited them better.
How many of us have tried to visit whitehouse.gov and accidentally went to whitehouse.com? If you don't know by now, it's a porn site. I've always thought it was pretty ingenious of them to take that domain name. Gee, think they get audited by the IRS much?
I don't think it's going to be any sport that utilizes this the most. What other organization in the world would love this technology and have the money to back it up? The US military. If you can spot your enemy first, you have the advantage. It's surprising the military isn't jumping all over this already.
I did the very same thing and there it was, advert.dll. I even went so far as to download OptOut and it found advert.ocx as well. It's a crying shame. I think I got it from CuteFTP. Not sure though.

Yeah, her power is that of disguise. You use what you have the best you can and spying is the best use of her powers.

One other thing -- Copper is not a magnetic metal. That entire final fight sequence was bunk.
Well, bullets are made of lead and they are far from magnetic but I didn't care. Movie still kicked major ass.

What, in the name of creation, do we have sharp teeth if not to eat anything that moves? Top o' the food chain, bay-bee!
Seems these days a lot of people want to cap those canines for some reason. Maybe not eat "anything" that moves please. No grubs and no rats for me.

Yup. That movie was the first thing I thought about. I loved it so much I made it one of my first DVDs!
