Google image searching "the summers brothers" returned some surprising results.
The "powers dont work on each other thing" is getting a bit stretched now. Whats the rules here now? It used to be so simple with Scott and Alex, they couldnt hurt each other but they could kind of charge each othe other up.
In these panels, Adam-Xs powers work on his "grandfather" which makes sense because he is not a blood relation if he is the son of Scott's mother and the evil beardy Shiar dude. But Scott and Alex are immune to his powers and vice versa. I read somewhere that Vulcan, who I dont know as he was introduced after I stopped reading in the mid 90s, is immune to Cyclops but not Havok?
It is making me remember stuff like X-Cutioners Song when Stryfe makes a force field to keep out people without Summers DNA or something. Alex makes it through but gets KTFO by it. I dont need to remember all this stuff at work!
I just assumed she was opening portals to the Fireworks Dimension.
Mutant powers don't work on mutant family. Scott, Alex, and Adam can't hurt each other, but they can hurt their dad and grandparents because they're not mutants. Likewise with Siryn, Banshee, and Black Tom. They're all related, so they're immune to each other.
Well, Black Tom could grow a tree and cause it to smack them, they wouldn't be immune to that, of course.
Vulcan should be immune to Cyclops and Havok, but they're not immune to him because plot and he's strong as fuck. But for awhile, the whole power immunity thing was wishy washy, which is likely how we got shit like Havok/Vulcan.
The power immunity doesn't really "work" because, like, how are you going to be "immune" to Quicksilver's power as a member of his family?
Or like, if someone's immune to The Blob's power, can they just punch him in the gut and drop him like a sack of potatoes? It just doesn't track.

Ah I had forgotten Cosair etc arent mutants. But then shouldnt Stryfe have been unable to hurt Cable or Scott? I
She is!
Everyone's powers comes from an X power dimension!
You mean the Von Doomension.
The original logic was that they where brothers. Their mutations shared the same basis so they couldn't hurt each other.
It was used similarly with Emma and her siblings, their psychic powers could not affect each other.
It was broken with Vulcan (which is why this day I call shenanigans)
For a long time mutant sibling powers couldn't harm each other.
It was retconned but I think the retcon is being retconned.
And also I hated that retcon. I remember to this day my first X-Factor comic. It was during the X-Tiction Agenda. Specifically X-Factor 60.
Scott literally beats the memories into Havok because thier powers never worked against each out r.
It's usually reserved for energy, sonic, and psychic powers.
Because they're related, their bodies are immune to the energy signatures of their powers yada yada.
I don't know how shit works with clones!
But telekinesis is just applying physical force, so it probably doesn't count.
I like it, glad I thought of it.

I just remember from the cartoon the two of them circling each other and peacocking like fuck before cutting loose, and just thinking like, "Wait, you guys didn't know your powers don't work on each other, right? Were you just totally down to annihilate each other right then? Or did you know and you just do this shit every Thanksgiving?"
Gotta agree with this. I tried watching a bit of it when I was down with Covid. Shit was rough.
Scott and Alex's powers have always canceled each other out when used against each other.
Marc Summers should be their uncle or something with the powers that manifest as him being able to put people into episode of Double Dare or some shit.
Punch lasers and circle shockwave plasma thingies from the circle shockwave plasma thingy dimension.
That show was messy. Inconsistent tone, weird ass transitions during fights that make no sense. It's aged in ways many of its peers didn't.
Originally mutants were immune to the mutant powers of their family members, but later on writers decided to change that because it doesn't make much sense, but Scott and Alex being immune to each other's power was established and used in many stories before so they kept it for them.
I was 12 when the fist episode came out. Unless you are taking about the theme song, it is shit.
The animated series was an excellent representation of the comic books of the time.
And the despite what some of you might say, the 90's animated series does indeed hold up.
Of course the same can't be said about Spider-Man.

I love that if you show his picture to a 1000 people, not one person would guess his mutant power
I just... can't agree. I absolutely adore the animated show, even on recent re-watches. It's campy and cheesy. I love it so much.

And Alex always canceled out the Living Monolith for some reason

You know
Not everyone can have Vatican Blessed Ape DNA
Living Monolith is the 5th Summers brother! Or cousin or someshit!
Would he be able to imitate say someone like Black Bolt?
Or is his power level only to the level of say a William Jafta or the dude on Police Academy?
At the very least he has mystical swords on his side.
I assume that's why scott doesn't burn his own eyelids off?
I love the 90s Spider-Man, but admittedly I think it only looks good through rose tinted nostalgia glasses
And I'm guessing the one between Rachel and Cable would be Nate's.I guess this is who the empty room belongs too.
That's because Living Monolith's powers were activated in an experiment by Mister Sinister using x-gene's from Havok, so they're "genetically similar". Actually makes me wonder if Living Monolith could ignore Cyclops and Adam X using their powers on him like Alex does...

Without Havok LM would just grow to be a planet. Alex is doing dude a favor
I want them to just start having random mooks be immune to optic blasts, with Scott angrily swearing under his breath about his dad's promiscuity each time.
Nate's in a pocket reality with a piece of Magneto's soul, waiting to be used as a Trump card. He doesn't need a bed room.
It'd be weird as shit given that he's in a relationship with Scott and Jean.
Scott accidentally hits Groot with an optic blast. The blast has no effect. Groot and Scott exchange a long look, and the panels gradually narrow in on a pendant hanging from one of Groot's branches with a picture of Scott's mom inside.
I have to disagree although just my opinion of course. I think it did and still works for the age group it is aimed at. I have watched it again recently with my son, who is only 8 and English is not his first language and he really enjoyed it and wanted to get X-Men comics although he cant read them. That mission was accomplished. It did a good job of taking some of these wacky storylines and making it understandable and relatable, especially in the first three seasons. Not all the episodes are classics, but I think they work more often than they dont for kid logic.
Exposure to the comics might have some sway. Although I was already reading X-Men at the time the show came to the area I grew up, issues were hard to find and irregular. I knew more of the backstory from reading weird "issue guide" type things that Marvel would put out. Although the characters in the show were the characters I was reading at the time, I didnt mind the "cut down" nature of the cartoon versions but perhaps if I had been deep into the comics monthly for say 5 years before the show aired, I might have felt differently. I was admittedly happy to see Cable or Archangel or Havok or Maverick on screen moving around for second!
Havok has a daughter with Janet. Ultron has regarded Wasp as his mother. So there is that connection too.
