It's Profile Time once more! And now, we're gonna look at the Earth-13000 version of Forge!
Forge
Real Name: Unknown. At birth was given the title "The Maker of All things, of Spirit and of Substance" at birth
Allegiance: X-Men Ally (Lives and works with X-Men, employed at Stark Industries)
Age: 62,but looks 41 due to spending twenty years in Middleverse
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Family: Aenohe (Mother), Arthur (Father, deceased), Ororo Munroe/Storm (First wife, deceased), Raven Darkholme/Mystique (Second wife), Warlock Ramsey (Adopted son), Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler (Stepson), Rogue Rasputin (stepdaughter), Imara Munroe/Livewire (Daughter), Mo'e'ha Munroe/Zephyr (Daughter), Douglock Ramsey (Grandson), Evan Daniels/Spyke (Nephew), Maxwell Daniels/Quill (Great Nephew), Domani Daniels (Great Niece), Naze (Maternal Grandfather)
Mutation: Technopathic. Forge can intuitively understand any machine's abilities and can create any device his imagination can cook up. His cybernetic arm has built-in tools, and he also built his prosthetic right leg. He also has great potential in shaman-related magic, but doesn't like to use it.
Personality: Despite his cynical and sarcastic streak, Forge can actually be quite upbeat and cheerful. However, he gets very bitter and defensive if his past is brought up. He's terrified of rabbits.
History: Forge was born in the Lame Deer Cheyenne reservation in Montana. At birth, he was decreed to be a 'chosen one', a wielder of great mystical power, which would be used to defeat the Adversary, a god of Chaos. Not wanting this, Forge tried to flee, but was convinced to come home by his father, who would be killed in an accident. The rescue from it cost him his arm. The trauma, as well as the triggering of his mutation, caused him to attempt suicide at 14.
Moving to Bayville, Forge dated a disguised Mystique, and ended up trapped in Middleverse for twenty years, until Kurt Wagner, his future stepson, would rescue him (Roma as secretly involved in Forge's trapping and Kurt's rescue).
He would go on to try and cure Storm of the loss of her powers thanks to a power inhibitor Rogue built when she stole his powers. They would start dating, and later on, Forge took in the alien Warlock as a son. After he married Storm and they had their first daughter, Imara, the Adversary struck. Forge would use his mystical talents to save Ororo and Imara, but he lost a leg in the process. The family would grow with the birth of Zephyr.
After Storm was supposedly killed by Nimrod and the Sentinels, Forge went after Graydon Creed, the man who sent the Sentinels, and used his mystical powers to send the man to the dimension Kurt teleported through, killing Creed. After the Legacy crisis, Mystique, who still had feelings for Forge, would join the X-Men. Forge found himself eventually falling for Mystique again, but never acted on his feelings out of fear of betraying Storm's memory.
Six years later, Forge was alongside the X-Men and Freedom Force when they investigated strange weather patterns and were battling a mad scientist who wanted to use Earth's weather to rule it. The heroes would get some shocking help in the form of Ororo Munroe herself. She had evolved into a living weather pattern thanks to Nimrod, and used her now massive power to aid in the defeat of the scientist. Unable to have a normal relationship (Ororo no longer even had a body), and sensing Forge's feelings for Mystique, Ororo gave Forge his blessing to be with the shapeshifter. They would eventually get married.
Note: In the "core" Sidney-verse", Forge and Mystique never got back together.

Hello again to all my loyal readers!
I'm feeling good. I finally beat Lego Indy, and now I am working on Super Mario Galaxy. It's a real blast of a game. I dunno how those guys can keep doing such fun Mario games. Every one is a blast.
Damn, the Wii is addictive. All I can think about is playing it. I can't even concentrate on this blog!
I am looking forward to seeing Watchmen. I have heard that the critics like it. I own the original graphic novel, which I read a hundred times, and I am excited to see how the film translates the novel. I did hear a lot of backlash when it was announced the ending would be changed, but I didn't care. I wasn't surprised. Whenever they adapt something from one media to film, they always do change something.
I do know that Alan Moore, the man who wrote Watchmen, wasn't too happy with his work being adapted to film. He has said that he wrote Watchmen to show that comics could do things that film could not. If I were him, though, I should not be surprised that they'd try. Think about it. Watchmen is considered more than just a comic. It's been in continuous print for decades, and it's managed to become known as "serious literature". Something that successful...well, somebody's going to want to translate it into another media. If you ask me, if you have good people who love and respect the source material, it'll be great. I have heard that the film is a big hit, so they're doing something right. The worst that could happen is that the adaptation ends up sucking.
Anyway, I'm working on Super Mario Galaxy. Did I say that this game is a blast? Well, it is. I'm having a lot of fun playing it, and the levels are really cool. My favorite so far has to be the Loopdeloop Galaxy.
I saw The Untouchables today. In case you're wondering, The Untouchables is a film directed by Brian DePalma released in 1987. It stars Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness and Sean Connery, as well as Andy Garcia and Robert De Niro as Al Capone. It tells the story of Eliot Ness's battles against Al Capone's bootlegging operation back in the era of Prohibition. It's not the most historically accurate film, I'll admit, but it's still a good movie. I enjoy watching it. It also has some great quotable lines. I got to quote the movie once after we beat up the Mandarin this one time. I rallied the gang like Jim Malone: "You wanna get the Mandarin? Here's how you get him! He pulls a knife, we pull a gun! He sends one of us to the hospital, we send one of his to the morgue! That's the Chicago way, and that's how you get the Mandarin!" We kicked his butt. When it comes to fighting bad guys, I take a line from the movie as my philosophy: "Never stop fighting till the fight is done".
Anyway, I got to see the Chuck Norris Facts website, and it is hilarious. I got to meet Chuck Norris once, when I was around thirteen. He was attending a wrestling event my uncle was wrestling in. He was very nice. You know, Chuck Norris was involved in wrestling before. In the 1994 Survivor Series, he was the special guest referee in the Casket match between the Undertaker and Yokozuna. I have all the Survivor Series on DVD. That match is one of my favorites.
New episodes of South Park are coming. I know Vince is going to enjoy it.
Alright, I gotta go and eat. I'm starving. See you around!

(Subj: Alright!)
Alright, new South Park! I can't wait! I love that show. I heard they're going to make fun of the Jonas Brothers. I frickin' hate the Jonas Brothers. If I ever see them, I will beat them down. I will beat them and make them cry like their fans.
BTW, saw Watchmen with the guys. Frickin' awesome. My GAWD, Malin Ackerman is hot. She can karate kick my ass any day. And Eban wouldn't shut up about the Comedian.

Hey Mad! Yeah, I finally got to see the movie. It was good. The guy who played Rorschach really nailed it. And the costumes were great, too.
