Be that as it may, I agree with that there are ob- viously some heroes/villains that it simply won't work on (Hell, what would hap- pen if there were no superheroes to stop Dr. Doom?!). Forge admits that his is only a very crude imitation of Rom's Neutralizer, and even Rom's couldn't zap away the Hulk's powers! As far as the "mutant detector" goes, well, as I believe I said before, Forge obviously *wasn't* able to detect that Raven was a mutant (unless he was not kidding about himself being a mutant and his presence masked hers). As far as scanning genetic structure from a distance, I can't say that it's any less outrageous than any other gadgets that exist in the comic book universes. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
