Bomb makers

[x-pete.livejournal.com]

Seems like the we caught a bit of a break: The US government caught a Preserver bomber the other day.

Here's where it gets interesting: according to Nate, the reason there was no explosive residue at the blast sites is that the explosions seem to have caused (assuming that this guy is the same as the others, anyway) by mutants losing control of their powers. Not just in the usual teenage early-manifestation way, though. There's another mutant out there who is able to cause other mutants to build up to some kind of explosive power discharge, with fatal consequences for them and large chunks of the nearby population.

This happened to the guy they caught, too. Jean Grey got what little info we have from the bastard's brain, shortly before he went critical. This had just happened when Nate dropped me a line and he'll pass along anything more once everything is a little calmer.
