Incidentally, about the "non-normal" detector [quote not extracted] I thought
the whole thing was REAL unlikely.  How could such a thing work?  Genetic
scanning from a distance?  Passively?  Nondestructively?  Must be magic!
/* ---------- */
It probably detects mutants the same way Cerebro or the Sentinels
do.  Mutants have always been identifiable as such in the Marvel
universe.  But if Mutant-detectors become widespread, Mystique,
Sebastian Shaw, and their ilk are going to get caught in their
own net.  Note already that Shaw has designed his Sentinels to
ignore him (not that they aren't useless anyway - let's see
Stark's new business produce some First-Rate sentinels; they used
to be feared, now they're just giant metal marshmallows).

But then, I'm very fond of the mutant menace storyline - it's one
of the mainstays of my Champion campaign, and a major issue in
the 1982 New York Governor's race in my campaign (which, by the
way, I'm settling by letting the net vote for the candidates.
Details are posted in net.games.frp, April 7 through 29, or
