interesting

I first read this at another site two or three years ago. If anything I think it's more powerful when you re-read it. Showing the contrast between the real consequences of splitting the atom with the way the idea of radiation etc is used in comic books and bad SF by putting Xavier and Magnus into the real world situation was brilliant.

Denmark rulez! Not. *GG* Sorry a tiny word from a stupid dane. *GG*

Wonderful

Very moving, beautifully written.

nice

I wasn't sure one could easily transpose Magneto out of his exact time period and his Holocaust experiences, and still keep him recognizable. Dannell pulls it off admirably well. I love the notion of Magnus as an enfant terrible, a brilliant physics prodigy who gets in over his head. And, having personally lived through being so focused on science that you don't see the ethical concerns until they're shoved in your face, I can sympathize deeply with the characters.

Very interesting & very nicely done.

Um, I liked the story, but being the fan girl I am, I really must share a but of knowlege.. Xaiver lost his hair because of his powers.
