I'd like to know the answer to the first question as well (to build suspense, perhaps? His power is one-hit kill otherwise, and that would be kinda boring). I don't see why you even bothered asking the second question. Hold a knife (that you can't throw) and ride a motorcycle against your enemy. What else can you do?
What I want to know is why Storm seemingly has a limit to her powers while the others don't. Is that normal? Do the others have limits too, only that we haven't encountered them?
I've only ever seen Origins: Wolverine, so I'm kind of in the dark here. I'll probably give the movies a spin later since I have them lying around somewhere.
PS: Storm is hot, voice and all. More so in her X-men suit than the casual/swimwear too.
