Minor Geeky Footnote

I forgot to mention in my 'Shared Universe' post how I like to think of Heroes as being the prologue to the X-Men film series, what with the X-movies being set in 'the not too distant future'. You can very easily see the progression from one to the other, with this ...

... eventually becoming this (dig the German!);

I'll refrain from mentioning how Robocop was also set in the "not too distant future", leading me to pontificate on the ways it, too, could fit into the same chronology (although Robocop versus Magneto would no doubt prove quite amusing).
