Woohoo. Yeah I remember Leech now. But, I still don't remember about Artie or what he could do if anything. I don't even know if I have any of those old comics around here. I sold off alot of them a dozen years ago. The whole start the X-Men over thing really ticked me off. Especially when you ended up having to buy 25 to 30 comics a month just to stay with the story lines. It just got too expensive.
By the way all but 2 of the Comic stores in Lincoln have gone out of business
in the last 5 years.

<font color="white">Same here. I too stopped reading comic books ages ago. Plus, my mom threw out my old comic book stash while I was away in college. They had basically no re-sale value left anyway...All dog-eared, with missing and yellowed pages/covers...Pretty beat up already, I guess. :(

I still occasionally walk past and browse at my local comic store display just to see whats new these days. Now, I mostly read graphic novels. At least the stories all start and end in the same book. [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Regarding Artie, his mutant power is the mental ability to conjure visual images. Kinda like mid-air holograms. This is his only means of communication with other people as he is mute. Try the link again for further details if you haven't already done so. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Saw the preview for the Hulk today, it looks like Banner's father did something chemicaly to him when he was young. And the Hulk is bigger than I thought (tank sized green monster).

In the movie, from what I hear, Hulk is about 13 feet tall. That's a bit of an exaggeration. IIRC, in the comic he was 9 feet tall.
Either way, he's freaking big.
