             I thank you for all your comments, this is the first
fanfic I am
writing with intention of completing. Hear are some answer's to your
comments.


             1. Location of X-Mansion.
                            I put it near New York City because
Akane loves
theatre so much and I plan to make their theatre date a nice sized
part of the
fanfic.

I thought that the place was in upstate NY, but that's just me.
 
             2. Ranma and his ability with English and Math.
                        In several fanfics (Daigkusi no Ranma might
have been
one of them)
The author writes that Ranma is really good in Math so I just kept
it. I made
Ranma fluent in English because for this venture I didn't want to
worry about
who can understand what language.

Supposedly, a good majority of Japanese students are required to learn
English as their 2nd language.
 
            3. Psylocke and the Amazons:
                          In another (uncomplete) Ranma/X-Men fic.
Psylocke
speaks fluent Chinese and not-so fluent Japanese. If she is an
expert martial
artist and she knows
Chinese, she probably knows about the Amazons and Jusenkyo. Though
she might
not know about the true nature of Jusenkyo.

           4. Ranma and Mutant abilities:
                       Thank you for this suggestion. I never
considered
giving Ranma a mutant ability. I just thought the the X-Men would
accept his
curse as being close enough. I need to find a good one though. It
can't be
super healing-I attribute that to the ever-handy Dr. Tofu. Super
fast learning
ability? No. That comes from his pride.
Hold on, why does Ranma have to be the one with a mutant ability?

                I answered your questions, please answer mine.
Should I bring
Spider-Man into this fic?   
Depends on whom you have Ranma fighting.

 What are good mutant abilities for our guests from
Japan?
Ranma is, in a magical sense [and imho], a mutate.  His shapeshifting
and dangersense are his true "powers".  The rest were special skills.
As for Akane, my reccomendation is for her to have a latent psionic
abilities, for hammer manifestations, reading Ranma's mind, etc.

 Where are my socks? 
On your feet, we hope.....

Which villains in the marvel universe should I use?
Start off with the Silver Samurai [a Wolvie foe].  If you bring in the
Juggernaut, be sure that Team Ranma is there [Ukyo, Shampoo, Ryoga,
etc.].

If a train leaves Chicago at 6 AM.. (just kidding about this one.)
 I want to
finish this fic before I go away to college but this fic looks like
it is
going to be a big one. Expect more of the story soon (I am note
going to break
it into parts. So the story will always atart from the begining.)
