    That’s really not it. Her orgin movie is handled really well, if you understand the context the Binary storyline was written with. Jude law stands in for the Brood, the Supreme intelligence stands in for Mar-vel.

    She didn’t “earn” her powers in the comics. They were thrust on her against her will, while she was under mind control and her friends had abandoned her. Her powers come from a traumatic episode she was put through without her consent, which is very well represented in the movie.

    I’d recommend listening to this podcast. It gives you some context around the original comics and will fill in the parts that you’re clearly misunderstanding.
