Can Bobby control whether the ice he makes is salt or fresh water?
Salt drops out of solution when water is frozen. Ice is always fresh water.
How come Cyke's eyelids can withstand the power of the blasts from his eyes?
Scott's body is immune to his power, and he is also immune to Havok's as well.
Could Kitty phase all the way through the Earth?
Kitty can only phase as long as she can hold her breath, so I would say no.
Shouldn't Remy be able to molecularly activate the air around him?
Not dense enough, the molecules are too far apart. I don't know about liquids, probably not, but I wouldn't try it with gasoline

And handy when you’re out camping, but messy if he happens to throw one at you. :ick

Can Quiksilver or Northstar do everything at superspeed or just move? Do they think at superspeed?
I believe Quicksilver thinks at super-speed and learns that way too, or at least he can. I can't think of anything he couldn't do, although I can think of a couple thingd I wouldn't want him to do that fast:naughty. But if I'm wrong, someone feel free to correct me.

Can SheCat control inverse points, like notches and grooves? Her power is derived of shockwaves that emanate from her body at a molecular level, which, upon hitting something of a correct molecular structure, can control and compress the molecules inside to make it hyper-tense. Hence "molecular interference". So does it work for notches and other 'inverse points'?

If Sage is a 2nd gen mutant whose memory powers have been active since birth, then I'm guessing the answer is yes. But if she manifested in her teenage years, I would say no, she only remembers from then- on. Maybe not even from manitfestation, but instead from when she mastered controlling her power- on.
No. Last time I heard, Remy was only able to charge non-organic matter. Things like steel, playing cards (they're coated with something man-made, not to menion the inks and other chemicals that are used to make them, etc). Air is organic, naturally occuring liquids (water, orange juice, oil) are organic. Manmade crap, like antifreeze.. I don't know. it would be damned hard to charge something in its liquid state, because it will stay on your hand or drip everywhere.. it isn't solid or tangible enough. Remy would get 2nd and 3rd degree burns, yes? Also, throwing a liquid doesn't have the same amount of force as spitting it as a weapon, like Angel and Toad.
Doubtful. It's true she could wear an oxygen tank.. but she can't phase that fast AND she'd eventually loose concentrate and die a horrible crispy death from the earth's core being frelling hot.
I remember in God Loves, Man Kills (95-ish version or reprint), Kitty airwalked up thru the ceiling instead of using the stairs. It's possible she could not change the direction of her falling, but go into the ground and use her airwalking-power to slow her decent until she stops. Then she could walk up and out. She would have to hold her breath though.
Like Scott's body/eyelids are immune to his optic blasts, I'm guessing Angel's body has adapted to her saliva/puke being so acidic. Rogue can't drain herself, Kurt's 1-person ports don't give him naseau (at least now they don't)... there's no use for the power unless you're alive and in decent condition to use it.
Ok.. hair and skin are different things entirely. The ends of your hair are dead, but the follicle that's embedded in your skin is still alive. Go ahead, pull a strand out... it hurts, doesn't it? Now your skin has like seven layers, and only the top one and two are actually dead and shedding cells. Husk only removes a layer of skin. Skin and hair might have similar properties, but they're not linked. Connected, yes.

Uuummm….I don’t think oxygen is organic. Organic chemistry is the study of compounds containing carbon. Oxygen exists naturally in the diatomic form of O2 and in the air doesn’t have any carbon in it. Sure it is common in organic molecules (this is a list of the atoms contained in organic molecules from biggest to smallest: Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Sulfur, and Phosphorus). Yes the air dose contain organic molecules such as CO2 (carbon dioxide) but there are non-organic things in it. This doesn’t mean I think Gambit can charge it. It’s moving to fast and is too far apart. Charging it would most likely be impossible (Air is always moving around and bouncing off things it’s not cohesive whatsoever). Or if he could, it would be just like what you said about liquids.
Air is natural, it is not man made, nor is it processed. I think this is what Megz meant by organic.....

"mags:
OK...I have been asked to contribute my two cents worth...so here it is. whether it jubes with what Marvel believes, I have no idea...but my mind is far mor logical than anyone at Marvel has been shown to be for a long time.
Magneto is theroretically the most powerful mutant possible on earth. He has already sent a pulse around the earth that knocked out communications and computers en masse...yes he could blow every single computer outta it's plaastic hide.
Magneto could also theoretically, now that his power is supposed to flow easilly without backing up and driving him nuts...something not evident in the latest books... reverse the polarity of the earth or it's spin. why he would want to is anothe question, since it would kill EVERYTHING on the planet..human, mutants, animals plants...everything... If he channelled the electromagnetic power of the sun, he would have the power to do this from outer space. He would not want to be on earth if he actually did this, but he could theoretically do it. He keeps his body in tip top shape because a healthy body is needed for the strains put on it by such power usage. It has, I believe been established that the more energy a power takes to wield, the hungrier you get, having to fuel the body in order to process the energies of your power.
Magneto's power to manipulate electromagnetic fields makes him the only one to be able to touch Rogue while her power is active...and not be harmed. He merely changes the surface vibration of his own skin to match hers. We know her power does not affect her...she does not knock herself out when she scrubs down in the shower, for example...so we can extrapolate that all mutants are immune to their own power. If Magneto can match her vibrations...her "power signature"...which would be a piece of cake for him to do... then he can negate it's effect on him...letting her see or siphon only as much as he wishes her to see or take from him. Thus, if she and Magneto had a child, as I believe they did in AoA...that child would be immune to Rogue's powers by virtue of having her gene structure as part of it's makeup and spending it's formative months inside her body, becoming acclimated to her bio rhythms and electromagnetic vibrations. They truely fudged that one...having the kid react to her...it would not. but then, Marvel editorial, as I have often said, doesn't have a whole brain to share amongs all of them.
The scarlet witch does magick. there is a difference between magic, which is prestidigitation...and real magick. The asses at Marvel do not understand what real magick is. It is a warping of possibilities...that's why it doesn't always work! Wanda warps probabilities and possibilities to make them positives. That's the essence of her power. and it is what real witches do...I ought to know ...I am one. It's easier for her...she's a superdoop! LOL...but the dodos at marvel do not understand this. they make distinction between mutant powers and witchery. There is no such distinction..which i tried to tell them when I was there. They didn't want to hear it. They are fools. We do have mutants of a sort with us today...They are people who have an extra link to their brains that let them so things...whether it is to see things in the past or future, or to 'read" a piece of evidence and tell the cops things otherwise hidden...or actually see the future for someone...these are "powers". Yeah, there are a lot of charletans out there...but there are some real mutants who have real talents, too...it is a logical progression of genetic ability. Some people are just born that way. they either use their powers or they stifle them and don't use them . More's the pity. These talents are not as splashy as superdoops...or mythological abilities...they are difficult to control and very tiring to do. you are absolutely wasted and ravenous after you perform any kind of magickal act...trust me on this. We haven't evolved that far yet...but we are making inroads into what was once fantasy and is more and more likely to become reality inthe future. they are not burning and hanging the genetic pool that is showing these talents any more. Magneto is right...in real history the witches, real mutants within their society...were hunted out and destroyed. Of course, the really good ones never got cautght by the rabid religious nutballs...they went underground and blended in.
The brain is a wonderful organ and we have not tapped even a fraction of it's potential. Now, we may not grow to be magnetos...or Human Torchs...LOL...but we are progressing. There are whole divisions in the military secrets departments of major countries devoted to exploring how to control these talents.
OK...back to superdoops... As I said, all superdoop powers will not harm the wielder of those powers. Can storm electrocute herself or can magneto? no..They channel that kind of energy and it would energize them...as a bolt of lightening did to Magneto once when Storm attacked him. No one has ever explained Storm's full range of power...She controls the winds and humidity, water vapour and temperature changes which produce things like lightening, tornado vortexes and such. Can she create lightening, yes. She manipulates the air molecules to produce the kind of conditions that cause lightning to form...and by controlling the temp/air density/and polarities, she can direct where she wants it to go. her body isn't generating lightneing...she is manipulating the atmosphere to create the conditions favorable for it. If you create conditions that are one hundred percent favorable, you are gonna get lightening...and if you know the conditions that establish what path the lightening takes, then you can dierct it where you want it to go. Obviously, this takes practice...but by the time Xavier had found her, she had a lot of control already extant. The Danger room gave her lots of practice in working with confined air masses, one would suspect.
Did I answer enough questions? did I address the ones you wanted me to?
You gotta remember that Marvel's take on some of this stuff is not logical...They want what they want and don't want to be stymied by logic. But if a power can be logically explained, it becomes more real! Of course, it acquires limitations as logic defines it's boundries, and if they want someone to have power outside the logical boundries, then they don't want to hear the logical boundries. And most of them do not have the wherewithal to think of logical explanations, anyway. Talking to them about logical explanation of powers is like trying to teach a monkey how to fly...It doesn't happen and all it does is annoy the monkey.
Some of the powers mentined I haven't the foggiest about, since I don't read the books that have the characters, so I don't know what they are supposed to do. Angel's acid spit dowsn't hurt her because...???...once again... POWERS DO NOT AFFECT OR HURT THEIR WIELDERS! The only ecxeption to that that I can think of would be an empath...one who could heal by touching a person and absorbing the harm into themselves, leaving the victim's body whole and the empath's body stricken, but able to heal itself...rapidly. A modification of Logan's ability to heal himself, actually...only an empath would heal others...transposing the trauma to themselves to be healed by their own body, while leaving a healthy patient. They need one of them around the mansion, Y'know?

Yes, but that's what we LOVE about you! Too many people on this board post "i dunno, but its cool" or something like that. Ugh. We need our smart several-page-down answers.
Psst... I know you like Rogue with Mags. Let's say we seperate them, you can shove her back at Magneto, and Remy can come be in my lap . It's currently quite cold and empty.
edit- Hmm, Steve? Your lap is empty too? That's funny, I thought you were male.
