| An interesting thing about Proteus, the supposed "reality warper." Re-read his first appearance, thinking of him only as a mental mutant. A mutant with only telepathic powers. Still works, doesn't it? In fact, it makes much MORE sense that way. Nothing he does as far as re-shaping reality is ever seen by someone far away. All he ever does is re-shape it in the minds of the people he's dealing with. That's his style. They may have changed in this is later appearances, since I know the post-Claremont hacks brought him back somehow, but the original story admits of the other interpretation - whatever the characters in the comics thought. After all, they only had their own experience to go on. |
