| The mice are indistinguishable form other mice, except for their black Ray-bans and their colorful crime- and disease-fighting outfits. The project has not been without its problems, though. "Teaching mice to kick-box is hard enough, but training them to use their mutant powers for good instead of evil was a real chore," said Doctor Xavier. Many of the X-Mice had experienced rejection and shunning at the paws of the so-called normal mouse community. As hard as it has been, the mice have learned to work together to use thir abilities to fight super-villains such as Ian McKellan and cancer cells. Still, says Doctor Xavier, "I just wish they?d stop robbing cheese shops and freezing the neighborhood cats into solid blocks of ice." Melinda Ferguson, 18, who lives down the road from the X-Mice, agrees. "It was bad enough when they'd just ride around on their atomic scooters all night, but then they decided to practice their Ninja skills on Binkles, my cat, and now he's afraid to come out from under the bed." |
