Victim
First Post
I've stepped into an insane world of clones, superhero wannabes, and ray guns... Okay, I knew some this stuff was out there, or in development, but I didn't expect to be involved so personally. Maybe I shouldn't have come to that school. But I can deal with worse than this. I wish I had my guns though.
Temper steps foward towards Magneto, "What kind of assurance can we have that you're the original? How were you separated from your followers long enough for the copy to win their loyalty?" Of course, both could be fakes, and Miranda discerned that this Nightcrawler wasn't involved in the earlier attacks if she's still reliable. The death of her friend hit her hard.
"It seems likely that the success of Stryker's programs would impact more than some supposed homo superior race. The military could find plenty of uses for a gene scanning combat and surveillance robot. I already know white supremacists groups have tried to steal and modify a mutant detector so they could search for 'impure' mixed race people. It's myoptic not to look beyond your own circle."
"Well, he's not working alone, so there'd be someone else on the kill switch. And there's been a lot of research done on behavior modification by the government for decades. Not to mention the more mundane forms of manipulation and indoctrination which would be unusually effective in this case."
"And I think that hating is less important than power and control - especially to the groups backing and funding Stryker's operations. Hatred is how normal people are tricked into backing plans that only help to maintain or promote the power of a small elite." Of course, mutants shouldn't become that elite either...

"But seriously, why would someone who hates mutants as much as he does want to build an army of them? That doesn't really make any sense unless he has a kill switch, but even he's opening himself to the possibility of being assassinated by one of his minions while he sleeps."
