It seems REALLY unlikely that Forge's gun will do more than ROM's could, in light of what Forge says about it. Therefore, the "suppress all super powers" is either VERY temporary or Forge was lying, or Clairmont is jerking off again. Recall that even though Chris seems competent enough at doing extremely ornate and too-twisted plotting, and is semi-competent (it. . .HURTS!:-) as a writer, his scientific background seems to be thoroughly based in ozone. Marvel Comics has NEVER paid even the lip-service to real scientific knowledge that DC pays. They never let a little thing like credibility (or POSSIBILITY) get in the way of their plot twists. Gotta give 'em credit though. The soaps are looking more and more like a Marvel comic. Hutch
