Forge: Welcome to Engineering c3126x: Weapons, Vehicles & Technology. This class was originally supposed to be solely about the various technologies the X-Men have used and encountered, but as I am a shaman as well as "The Maker," I've adjusted the curriculum to include the magical and mystical as well. After all, as legendary SF writer Arthur C. Clarke once said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic," so for all we know, magical items like the Soulsword and the M'Kraan Crystal may indeed be based in technology, just not one we necessarily understand. Perhaps that's something we'll discover in this class.
Below are some of the items we'll be discussing. Diagrams and schematics are included where available. Feel free to email in any suggestions for other examples this class should cover.

Assignments:
Email Forge your writeups of any of the items listed above. Include technical specifications where available, pictures and schematics if possible (or a listing of sources for images). Record the item's uses, users and if no exact specs exist, speculate as to what makes it work. Be sure to list any known counters or weaknesses as well. Good luck!
