(who is actually Cyclops' and Havok's brother....seriously)) doesn't throw exploding cards, rather he has the ability to charge objects with "kinetic energy".Here's a quick family tree lesson: Cyclops is brothers with Havok. Their dad is Corsair, the Starjammer (space pirate). Their mother died when they were young (and they were separated at a young age). I believe Gambit is the son of Corsair by another woman -- I forget the deal on that. Scott Summers (Cyclops) and Jean Grey had a son -- Nathan Grey Summers (Cable). But "Nate" also comes back from the future as X-Man (who is like an alternate-dimension Nate Grey). In the future, they also had a daughter, Rachel Summers who is in the British team Excalibur, as Phoenix (but not to be confused with the Jean Grey "Phoenix"...but a little similar....).

I met Ben Roscoe for the first time at KICKASS 2. He's basically the happiest, ("go-lucky" seems to describe him) most upbeat guy ever. I remember watching him, like, introduce himself to Dave Clavens, or saying bye when he was leaving or something, and he was all starry eyed, and it was so refreshing and pleasant. He was all playing, like, mandolin? At Tom Mosher's house which gives him more points on the optimism scale. I was filming a video of Matt Cross playing guitar for my girlfriend (a fan), and Ben Roscoe appeared around the corner and started singing along with this huge smile on his face that brightened the alley, proclaiming in the cheeriest of cheery voices, "This is my favourite song!" I remember watching him win intermediate shred in the downstairs of the competitions venue -- such consistancy. I wonder what his game is like now. And I wonder if he plans to come to WEED MARCH ON MAY 5TH IN TORONTO..... I very much look forward to seeing Ben Roscoe again in the future.
Oh, actually, the ALMOST first time I met him was in my home town, where he came to attend a folk festival or something (something that Winnipeg is well known for, I believe). I was told that he was coming into town, and the night before I was at a restaurant with my brothers and my mom and saw (or my brother saw) Mike Faille's bright "footbad shoe mod" shirt for the first time. I had no idea who Ben Roscoe was at the time, and I had never seen the shirt before, but I knew it was sa footbagger...and for once I felt too awkward to say hi (since at the time I was not playing footbag at all for quite some time (like in the middle of my hardcore time off, due to injury...or some garbage...)) Oh...I think I PMed him later saying sorry I missed you, or something and there was a touch of correnspondance.
Well, that's Ben Roscoe.
He's also very skinny, and has blond hair.
And did I mention that he's very happy?
(Oh yeah, and it's spelled "bo", I think...)
