Mutant from Manila?
Friday, May 9th, 2003[spoiler, somewhat]
Saw X-Men 2 yesterday. In the Cerebro scene where Prof. X shows Wolverine where all the mutants in the world are, the Philippines is projected right behind Wolverine’s head and a mutant is shown hailing from Luzon. Wow, I wonder what kind of super-powers this pinoy mutant has. Maybe the guys from Komikero know.
