> -Doesn't Rogue absorb not only a mutants powers but also some of their psyche? I seem to recall that from comic books and how she hated to use her powers to stop a "bad guy" because she became like that person. If this is so, then she would also take on some of Magneto's personality.

Of course she does! That's why Jean Grey says at the end, talking to Wolverine, "She took on a few of your more charming personality traits for a while, but she's back to normal now." (BTW, what exactly could qualify as Wolverine's "more charming" personality traits? He's silent, grumpy, and mysterious. Maybe Jean was being sarcastic.)

> -How come no mention of Jean Grey as Phoenix? Does that occur later?

Yeah, I hear that's saved for a sequel.

> -What are Sabretooth's powers other than being huge and strong cuz he took a couple of impalements from Wolverine and seemed none the worse for wear?

Check out some of the websites (People, EW, etc.) I read "superhealing ability," but I don't know where they got it from. Basically that would mean that there's not much difference between him and Wolverine. Incidentally, EVERYONE says that Wolverine's powers are "Retractible claws, metal endo-skeleton, and superhealing ability." This totally bugs me since it's quite clear from the movie that his only true power is the superhealing.

> -Obviously Mystique lives, but do you think Sabretooth and Toad survive?

I have no clue. It would make it very interesting. I hope Toad shows up because I thought the character was amusing and interesting. I'm not so bothered about Sabretooth. Also, how the heck did Wolverine not realize that Mystique was alive? You'd think he'd at least know when he'd killed someone or not.
