Indeed, Ms. Marvel was the one drained by Rogue in the comics. I was thinking that after she got her white streak from Magneto, she'd have a bit of magnetic powers in the movies, like she did in Age of Apocalypse.
That would have been fun.
[tangent]I read X-Men for a few months, and for the longest time I thought Rogue's mutations were flight and super-strength. (Marvel Strenght?) Of course, I also thought Wolverine's mutation was having metal claws come out of his hands, and that the Beast's mutation was being blue and furry. Didn't Stan Lee create mutants so he wouldn't have to explain their orgian? [/tangent]

I never understood why the don't just bury the Phoenix hatchet in the comics and let Jean become Marvel Woman. I mean, it worked for Sue Storm/Richards, right?
You got me, I don't know why either.
I enjoyed the movie. Of course I'm a big fan of Beast, Shadowcat, and Iceman.
That said, I have the same problem with this movie that I did with the X2. In X2, I kept thinking, "there's a big thing of water comming at the plane, I know
let's have the guy who's power is to freeze water stop it!" Logic lost out to mayrterism.
With X3, I thought: "Jean's out of control? I know,
let's get the guy who's power it is to nullify other mutant powers!" Logic lost out agin.
Neither one of these things was enough to keep from enjoying the film overall.
Of course, I'm a fanboy. What did you expect?
