If the BAU were mutants ...

What would their powers be?

Reid almost has one already; could one count his intelligence and speed-reading as a mutant power, or would they be amped up somehow? (Maybe he just has to touch a book and he knows what it says?)

Garcia: is she into computers because she can sense electrical energy?

Is Morgan a bomb expert because he's a firestarter?

Did Seaver survive her serial killer father because she has a healing factor?

Was Prentiss such a good undercover operative because she's a chameleon?

What about JJ, Hotch, Rossi, Gideon, Kevin, Will, Strauss? Discuss.

I love the idea of Rossi having the power of persuasion. He can take any conversation and turn it his way and next thing the Unsub is saying something he shouldnt because Rossi eased him right into it.

It would work well on women too, which Rossi would love : )

Erm, that would bring up some really skeevy consent issues. I do not want to believe that any of our BAU members would mind-whammy anyone to make them sexually receptive. That is the sort of thing the unsubs would do.

Oh boy, I didnt mean it that way. I just meant Rossi would know which women he should hit on and which not in a matter of moments. I could see him working a bar or a book reading.

Kind of like the episode of The Dead Zone where Johnny and Bruce went to a wedding and Bruce asked him to touch certain women to find out if they would be great dates for him or horrid dates. It was hysterical. I wasnt thinking skeevy, I was more thinking of comedy.

Okay, yeah, I can see that. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but the leap from what it sounded like to what you actually meant wasn't obvious, particularly since I've never seen an ep of The Dead Zone. (Actually, I have no clue even what it's about, so.)

I think every woman at one of his book readings would love to be hit on by him. lol.

Not even Rossi could get 100%, but definitely 98.7% ; )
