X2 Character References *slightly spoilerish*

[Animalor]

I saw 2 references to 2 other x-men comic characters in the movie that I thought I'd share for people that may have missed them.

1-When Mystique is going through Striker's files looking for information, there's a list of mutants that he's compiled there and the name after the one she stops on is Remy Lebeau - Gambit

2 - The scene shortly after in the bar with one of Magneto's security guards, there's a brief pan to a news program with one Hank McCoy(Beast) being interviewed. Didn't catch if he was speaking an anti-mutant point of view or not however it seemed like he was still hiding his mutation.

I posted some in the other thread. Everyone seemed to have missed the Archangel X-ray in the lab. I'd like to see more names on that government computer.

I noticed an Indian girl that I'm guessing was Mirage (Danielle Morningstar)

Colossus (guy who's skin turned into metal) also made an appearance.

[Animalor]

They also mention Jubilee at Akili(?) Lake facility as one of the jailed mutants.

I could have sworn that there was a girl in the first movie that was Jubilee. It's been a while so I may just be imagining it. I keep thinking it was in the classroom scene with Iceman. Watching the movie has made me really miss my old comic collections

Jubilee made an appearance (albeit very minor) in the first one. But they mention her as one of the kids in the cell in the 2nd one. Near the very end, when Prof. X is talking to Cyclops and Wolverine, when they leave, Jubilee is one of the kids who enters and gets Xavier's attention when he spaces out.

On the deleted scenes on the first movie DVD, Jubilee has a line or two in Storm's classroom, hence she is credited at the end of the movie.

I imagine that is why Remy Lebeau (James Bamford) has a credit on the X2 listing on IMDB, he will probably be in the deleted scenes when the DVD comes out.

Kitty Pryde (aka Sprite, Shadowcat) also had a role in the movie. She's the one who was running through the walls during the invasion of the mansion.

Professor X also mentions that "someone who can walk through walls" got the information they showed the president near the end of the movie.

Kitty Pryde made the X-men stories entertaining as you follwed her introduction into the Mutant School and the danger room tests.

Before there was The New Mutants and a focus on younger mutants, there was Kitty Pryde!

One of my Favorite X-Men issues:

[Keverian FireCry]

Ive heard that when Cerebro 2 is starting to kill all the mutants and Mystique starts randomly flashing as different ppl that there are some obvious other characters that flash thru. Id love to slow it down and look at which ones she morphs to, if its true.
