now although this was applied after the fact, it was naturally occuring radiation AND DID alter them genetically, which is not undoable in the same way as blowing the laser firing hand (DEVICE) off the end of a Sentinels Arm. yes if the gene is removed is causes the losss of thier powers, but it isn't man made it isn't applied to them after the fact and therefore is not 'Artificial'.ДЇantastic Four, cosmic Rays. well because its naturally occuring, its part of thier build from the ground up. Super Soldier Serum was artificial, man made 'Artificial' checmical compound and could with the apropriate chemicals be negated. Wolverines Skeleton was artificial, man made 'Artificial' and only took away his unbreakability. you destroyed that 'Artificial' eye it destroyed the powers associated with that eye.nothing else. So a cybernetic eye that has Infrared and Telescopic vision was at that time IMO a device. You see the old definition was 'A device is anything that if destroyed would cause the associated powers to be destroyed' with the obvious emphasis on something artificial and constructed. its just that his regeneration was the only thing that could ensure hed survive the procedure. so no his skeleton is not intrinisc to his powersin any way shape or form. Maverick, Sabretooth, Wolverine, Deadpool etc. You need to know a little bit more about his background to see that the surgery is moot, the whole reason the Weapon X program chose the subjects it did is because they all had uncharted regenerative abilities. as under the new definitions they wouldnt apply. And as I stated in my original response, as per the new definition of what constitutes a device in M&M from the folks at Green Ronin I wouldn't apply Device to any of them now. So yes thier are certainly circumstances when I would apply Device flaw, but not in ALL circumstances.

LIKE I said there is a huge scale of difference between a man with metal grafts under his skin than someones DNA being entirely re-written either from birth or by accident.ДЄgain the super serum is a chemical compound and chemicals can be negated by other chemicals. So no by my logic not all Mutants would have the device flaw. than their is removing someone X Gener that is part of thier genetic entire makeup. however their is a great deal of difference in removing some metal grafts that were surgically attached in the first place. but its 'Mutant' nature, making it just a human. If you remove the X Gene it would indeed remove not only a mutants powers.

The only time i'd likely use Plot Devices is when cosmic level individuals are concerned whose powers and abilities cannot easily and reasonably be charted. but those things are a little open ended and open to interpretation for me. However Device has and is being redifined more clearly as to what falls into thier category and knowing what I know of things now they would not if I did them again have the device flaw now.ДЄs for plot devices, well If I can do something mechanically I tend to do so, as most things can be covered with things like extra effort and plot device etc. so isnt as defining and final as the mutant gene which is inherently part of a mutant. and could feasibly be negated or undone by another serum. is why Wolverine got the device flaw applied to that particular aspect.ДЄs for the Super soldier serum, well again it is only a chemical compound. As per the original definition of a device i.e any thing which if removed would cause the loss of the poswers associated with it.
