Forget creating mutants. Some of them are canon in X-men. God, there's this one poor boy in a (somewhat) recent comic (read: just a couple years ago) who was killing everyone around him unintentionally, he gave off some kind of acid. Wolvie had to *kill* him. Some of the morlocks really just *look* weird. A lot of them don't have powers and have just *made* themselves, batmanlike. And actually, same universe as the deathkid there was a scene with Angel whining to Storm because yeah, wings, pretty, but he sorta lacked useful/hardass powers.(grandted, the flight does come in handy in their fights but he didn't know that yet).
And there's always maggott. Has huge maggotts in his stomache. They come out and *eat* things for him. Useful, possibly but ewwwww gross.

Yeah. It's actually one of the reasons I like Stargate Atlantis. Rodney is *cushy*, and though some of the ficcers make him all hardass it's less so than in Buffy. Mostly they just make John love him for it. (Cause- pillow-esque!)Actually, unlike Giles (and Grissom, come to think of it) Rodney's not that understandably handsome, and that gets considered a lot. it's cool.
There is actually some movie out there like that. (I don't remember/haven't seen it. It's on a list...and it took me *way* to long to find for it being the first movie on the list: http://www.skeeter63.org/~k9kennel/Alive_And_Kicking.htm Hm. well, ok. is one out of two. Here: this? Is my favorite list ever: (ok so not favorite *ever* but I found it useful, especially back when I was starting in on movies) http://www.skeeter63.org/~k9kennel/Recs_page.htm )
