Looking for the meaning of words in a dictionary is soo passe! lol Nowadays it's Dictionary.com FTW! :D
That's precisely how I landed on this nifty article that they had featured on their main page (in honor of X-Men First Class of course!). Pretty rad idea...I mean, it being an online dictionary what better way to cater to the X-appetite (that is bound to grow after watching XFC) than providing us with meanings of the X code-names! Until I saw this link I never even knew that "Magneto" was ACTUALLY a word! I just thought it was the word "magnet" with an "o" added at the end lol!
Check out the link below & brush up on your X-vocab all on 1 page! You won't believe how different the personalities &/or powers of some X-Men are from the meanings of their names!You can see the definitions in list-form, as flashcards or even play a quiz to test your knowledge of the names!
And when we talk about the X-codenames, I think we all think about that awesome scene from X-Men First Class where they decide they aliases! It was precisely what I was talking about when I spoke about the "camaraderie shown between the characters..." in my review for X-Men First Class out here: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/allthingsx/news/?a=39224
