3/14

3/14 Physically, they're already dangerous. They have hard outer bodies, sharp teeth, limbs that can grab and restrain people, wings, and stingers. Some can deliver venom. They're strong enough that you don't want to get into a fight with one just because it isn't carrying a weapon. Then there is the part where a Brood can retain the abilities of its host. Mutant powers become a huge advantage for them. Taking someone over can give them access to a weapon they didn't have before, and that makes the X-Men particularly valuable targets. Those abilities need to be kept straight, though. Every Brood doesn't automatically have every power we've seen another one use. A Brood with a mutant host can have that mutant's particular abilities. A whole group of infected mutants gives them several different ways to attack, control people, and protect themselves.
