the x man, Dr Henry Mcoy, aka Beast, belongs to marvel,

Dr David Suzuki, is a real person and a world renowned geneticist,

He is the host of the cbc science show, "The Nature Of Things"

(he is also a social justice activist and a cool old dude)

Any resemblance to the real dr dave suzuki is intentional, just for fun I've made one of his grandchildren a mutant

The Manitoulin Interview

by drkraven01

The opening scene is Dr Daves back yard in Nanaimo BC, Dr Dave is wearing his trademark ratty jeans, his iron grey hair contrasts with the ugly hawaian shirt he is wearing. He faces the camera and smiles serenely.

"Hello, I'm David Suzuki, Welcome to the nature of things."

The camera zooms in and he continues.

"Several months ago I was on Manitoulin island, conducting a survey of threatened plant species. I stumbled upon a mutated strain of northern orchid. I was very excited by the fact that the mutant flowers were thriving in an area where they had once been rare."

Camera angle changes.

"The next day I was in Toronto, where I met a fellow geneticist. We had coresponded in our research over the years, but never actualy met face to face. Meeting Dr Henery Mcoy was a shock. Although I had long known that he was a mutant, I was not prepared for the sight of a large, blue, bipedal, cat. While I recovered my composure, he made a star trek joke to cover my temporary astonishment. Later, as I reflected on my reaction to seeing him for the first time, I was forced to think about the fact that technicaly we are all mutants. Even without an X gene factor, all humans are geneticly different from their parents. This is what mutation is. Being geneticly different from your parents. When we strip away the ignorance, bigotry, and fear mongering, we are all mutants"

Dr Dave turns slightly away from the camera and drops down on one knee, Two of his grandchildren run to him and give a big hug, One of them, A girl in her early teens has silvery blue hair and vertical slit pupils in her eyes.
