X is for X-Men

I'm super excited to be testing my blogging stamina by taking part in the A-Z Blogging Challenge. Started by the awesome Arlee Bird, the challenge is to write a post every day of the month (except Sundays) based on the appropriate letter for the day. Sound confusing? Stick with me throughout April and you'll get it. My theme is: Things that inspire me.

Okay, I know I said Superman is my favourite super hero, but I really, really love the movie X-Men. The characters have such interesting powers.

Like Cyclops, who can shoot "force" from his eyes. Or Iceman, who has the ability to manipulate ice. He can even change his body into ice! Angel can give himself wings for flight. Phoenix is telepathic. Storm can control the weather – plus, she’s super cute.

And then there’s Wolverine. I’m not really into werewolves (zombies are my paranorm of choice), but Hugh Jackman is an awesome wolf. And those claws! Can you imagine going palm to paw (ha ha!) with Wolverine. * shudder * It gives me chills just thinking about it.

X-Men is one of those movies I play in the background when I’m doing chores, or researching a new story idea. I think I’ve seen it about ten times, it’s so great.

Have you seen X-Men? Which is your favourite character?

Gotta jet!
