I have some concept I would like to try, but I don't know if you will like the first one, so here in order what are the ones I am thinking of playing one day or another:
Asimovian Robot: A genius (like forge, or maybe forge himself), have build a droid, and have based his model on a book of Asimov, so the robot have the quirk: follow the 3 robotitian laws. The first law tell you cannot harm a human or by his inaction, let harm done to a human, which is pretty restrictive at first sight, but at the same time, in a world of mutant, it can be less restrictive... I love that concpet and want to try it once, but I dunno if it would fit well in that game.
Other concept would be a gadgeteer or a energy control:light or maybe a martial artist, but those are a bit more classic...

I do not have the M and M book yet, but with my tax return coming in soon, it shouldn't be a problem to pick it up if my idea seems like it would work.
Would someone who was not born a mutant but gained powers be acceptable into the game? He would still be coping with his gaining them, and would be in many ways just like someone who found out he was "different" from the rest of the world, but don't worry, it wouldn't be Spider-Man..

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I really really really don't need to be in any more games. I'm a little lax in posting in some of them as is, but I've never dropped out of a game unless the DM stopped posting for over thirty days.
On a whim I scanned through the forum and I'm intrigued.
I'd be interested in playing Havoc or Thunderbird primarily, but anyone of them would be great. Let me break out that issue and give it a re-read. (Why, yes, I have a complete run of X-men.
)
(Oooooooh, would Mimic or Morph be available? As their powers have been 'clarified' in Exiles they'd potentially fantastically fun.)
-edit- I'm guessing after a re-read of the original post that you would accept any non-Marvel character as long as it was in the right genre and right motif for an X-man, and not just an established character?

no, it's a mutant game. X-Men was allways more about hate against mutants than coping with your powers and they have a very clear distinction between mutants and other superheroes in the Marvel Universe. With very few notable exceptions all characters in any X-Series where mutants and those that wheren't never joined the main team.

I think you misunderstood the introduction. I will not accept established characters at all, regardless from which universe. The reason the game is called "What If" is that in this game other people will become the new X-Men.
Roger on the mutant only game...should have realized that, but had a dummy moment...
Will look through my old Handbooks and see if there is a pretty blank char that would make a cool What If? X-Man. I would love to play Ursa Major as a char, but afraid that his powers may be a little "light" to be an X-Men hitter.
My other choices were some more obscure chars and pending thoughts from Radiant, I will get back to going through my archives.

I'd be really interested in making a concept up this weekend. My knowledge of X-Men comics is really limited though. I know a few of the story lines, but I don't buy or avidly read them. If that's not a problem though, I can definitely get into this.
Now to go peek at this mutant high...

Ok.
By "non-Marvel" I meant "any mutant that isn't a trademarked character of Marvel or by extension any other comic company." Heh. That would've taken too long.
I'll sleep on it, and see if I have a decent character concept for you to look at by tomorrow. If you like it, maybe I can get a spot.
