Different mutant powers in the movies

[Mutant 77]

thats a cool explanation.

you deserve a no-prize.

Thank you so much. I always thought that, since 2006...

On a side note, the powers of DOFP Sunspot were way more similar to Sunfire than his comic book counterpart.

Also, Apocalypse, whose power are really vague and not much like the comics.

I think apocalypse and thanos both suffer from strange and forgotten powers...it makes them hard to adpt.

Why did not one mention Magneto becoming just a metal bender which then changed his powers and polaris's power showings in the comics for a long ass time.

What do you mean?

True. If memory serves me well, I created a thread for Apocalypse's movie powers long time ago.

Now that I think about it:

Is XCM Storm channeling lightnings coming from the atmosphere, and not actually GENERATING the lightnings from her body like her comic book counterpart? It's different.

During the "Charging Bishop" sequence in DOFP, it appears so, as well as in "Apocalypse".

I would like to complete the original post with the New Mutants from the 2020 movie.

Is Illyana's power reality-warping or some sort of "mutant sorcery"?
Are Sunspot's powers different from DOFP?
How would you define Cannonball's powers in the movie?

Thanks.

I saw it as:
Illyana can teleport (as when she disappears) but also has her mystic armor and sword
Sunspot had super-strength to some degree and yes some fire/on fire ability until he learned to control it and go all black. I do not think he flew/flew much, unlike the DoFP which really looked like Sunfire not Sunspot
Cannonball seemed to be some sort of kinetic motion power that flung him around.

Illyana could be truly related to sorcery, tapping into the Limbo dimension. Mystical energies, of course.

That's great. We can assume that the "fire form" in DOFP was a secondary mutation for Roberto.

Oh yes. Illyana has the Limbo connection and goes there to get away from the smileys. She also mentions that she is Magik. I love her light-up eyes and when they made Lockheed "real".

What puzzles me is the fact that they mention the X-Men, but Illyana doesn't know that her brother is Colossus. In my scenario, TNM is set in 2002, around a time of the altered timeline where Piotr must be already an X-Man.

Question:

Havok at extremely low power level can release "concussive" blasts of some sort as Movie Havok did in DOFP? And how?

I know Havok can release his power omni-directionally (from the center of his body) and also through his arms. One of them is the lower-level one where it is concussive without all of the power that the other one gives.

Yeah. Since it's technically plasma, I guess that - even in DOFP - it was a "concussive heat wave" released by his arms, accomplished at the lowest level of his power.

[Mutant 77]

OH, and speaking about Havok, I can totally see why in First Class Darwin exploded. I guess that Shaw truly channeled a large amont of power from Havok, and there's no real "reactive evolution" to concentrated and ultra-dense plasma. The criticism is beyond me.
