My first apartment on my own had this super thick shag and the static electricity was scary. I could see lightning bolts from my fingertips to the light switch, before I even touched it! The apartment was also very slanted. Living there was like this strange dream of shocking and rolling....

Final interview notes list for the C-team applicants

Mourning Wood: He says he can make people get erections when they're depressed. Everyone who failed the JV team is currently walking and sitting awkwardly. It seems to be working.

Alanis: Her power is to give people ironic accidents, but they're not really ironic accidents at all, they're just amusingly tragic coincidences. So, in tandem with M. Wood, she caused the some of the failures to just drop out. Less work for us, right?

Personally, I don't think either of these people should be at this school given they're in their 40s, but what the hell do I know.

Monkey's Paw is my name. I'll grant you a wish, but it will have an unseen side effect.

Wolverine? I can give you back your lost memories, but the downside it'll be just the traumatic bullying you went through.

Rogue? I can make it so you can touch people without your power affecting them, but only if they disgust you.

Professor X? I can give you the ability to walk, but sitting or laying down will cause you extreme pain.

He could if he wanted to.

A lot more, as well. Magnetism as a power tends to be used as basically 'move and shape magnetic metal', ie throw cars at someone, stop bullets in mid air, crush skyscrapers, etc. But you could shoot Magneto with a wooden gun! Well, no, because he can manipulate electromagnetism. Which means he can technically control electrons. And in theory, manipulate, push/pull, break apart, crush, etc etc anything with electrons in it. You know what has electrons in it? Everything.

They basically just have different preferences. Static likes to zap, Magneto likes to magnet. But Static also uses his powers to electromagnetically ride around on trash can lids, so, yeah. In conclusion, barring other outside factors, Magneto can shoot lightning out of his hands or any other body part.

Isn't it considered bad to double wrap? Like, makes it more likely for stuff to slip off?

It's just pure skin to skin, right? One condom, surgical gloves, maybe those rubber lips from Batman and Robin if such a thing exists? You'd have to be very careful despite such things. I think most of Rogue's issues are less 'cannot do the physical nasty' and more 'cannot be intimate with anyone in the way normal people can'. It wears on you if all your friends can't just give you a hug without having to do calculations.

I'll note that in that alternate timeline where Apocalypse took over and Rogue and Magneto were married and had a kid, Rogue had stolen Polaris (ie Magneto's daughter with the same power set) powers instead of Carol Danvers', which allowed some sort of cancelling effect between the two. I wonder more about the 'Battleworld What If' one shot, where Rogue had a kid with Captain America. Somehow.

It won't cause insomnia or anything unless you just let me unload on ya for a few solid minutes uninterrupted, but I can't imagine magneto has great sleep anyway so I can probably ruin his mornings a little?

Sperm donation is a thing. And maybe Cap's durable enough to withstand the effects, who knows.

Funny thing is Polaris is generally shown to be weaker than Magneto because of her inexperience with the power, and also that Magneto actually studied electromagnetism and tested the limits of his powers to understand them better.

My name is X-Advice. My power gives me enhanced insight into mutant sexual relationships.

You know, the thing with Scott Summers and Emma Frost? It's really a daddy issue he has. Emma's got qualities of both Scott's lovely father figures: Professor X and Jack O'Diamonds, as well as their dominating personalities.

Rogue? Rogue's just using her powers as an excuse to hide her shame of sexual intimacy. She's totally able to have a physical, albeit non-traditional, relationship. Really, she's not that much different than some loser geek who lusts after girls, but is completely terrified of having one touch him through even 3 layers of clothes.

Cypher? He's totally able to get women who are way out of his league by using his powers to manipulate them by observing their body language and reaction to his overtures.

Nightcrawler. You're the most sexually secure member of this team. You need to become less religious, though. Even Daredevil is super Catholic, but he has zero problem sleeping around and just going to confession and he and priest just grin and smile about his sinning and he gets a slap on the wrist.

My codename is Repressor X.

I use my telepathy to make everyone very sex-negative and chaste and modest in dress.

It's rare, but sometimes the power hits a strange next-level where it accidentally results in everyone just walking around almost completely naked because they lack any sense of sexual interest or arousal in one another and just comment rather clinically on muscle tone and fitness training suggestions.
