But Hope has also been suggested to have some sort of ability to tweak other people's mutations, which suggests that she could ensure that, if, say, Paralyzer (the Mutant Force / Resistants member who shoots electricity, but also has crab pincers for hands and feet, and can't wear shoes or wipe his butt or play with his peen) resurrected with his standard electrical powers, but also *hands!* Grabbers, for grabbing stuff! Pointers, for pointing at stuff! Thumbs, for gouging people's eyes! Wait... Isn't that what thumbs are for?
(Or perhaps a mutation that lets electricity play over his body and turn parts of him crabby and carapaced and pincer-y, when he wants to be, and zark, a different energy charge and he transforms back to a completely human-looking third-rate Electro.)
