POSSIBLE SPOILERS WARNING
But by any right you shouldn't be caring about the most expensive and semi-ornate handful of glorified toilet paper this side of 'The da Vinci Code'.
See this preview of 'Ultimate X-Men #100'?
Well... Let's face it you haven't exactly proven yourself the best writer, have you?
You took the only visible Gay couple in the Ultimate Universe, crippled one and took the sensitive, artistic and gentle one and turned him into some horrible 'Roid-filled, Stereotypical Mess...
That drug in particular is a story of it's own. Named after a popular mainstream character ('Banshee'), when two different things with the same effect had already been introduced in the M/S MU... The Standard 'Mutant Growth Hormone' or 'MGH', with some overtones of Grant Morrison's 'Kick'... But rather than a sentient mould/bacterial life form, it turns out to be some drug...
...DERIVED FROM WOLVERINE'S DNA...
(Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooore...)
...Created by Xavier and Magneto, but canned by the Prof, so what did Mags do? Go and get Moira F*cking MacTaggert to produce it to fund her base on Muir Island, (baring in mind that the most powerful Psychic had been around her before now, in canon and none of this coming up before, mind...) and upon being confronted about it... Suddenly seems to have developed mutant powers of her own! A Sonic Scream, no less...
But no... That's not my point right now... Right now you are messing with my homeland, and by proxy, me...
If you honestly think that you can go around making out that our most important seat of Government, whilst full of every single MP and a series of European Superheroes are inside, can get inside and blow the place up, the only resistance having been from two overweight, poorly protected Police Officers dressed in uniforms that went out in the Eighties, armed only with truncheons?
Firstly, do your research mate (See Picture, Below).
Every one with at least a Stab-Vest. The one's around Parliament? Armed and trained to kill. And that's just the ones on the outside... And don't even THINK of claiming it's to increase dramatic tension and/or about suspension of belief. A good writer can get around that and still get his point across.

I know it's not right to throw that word around wantonly, but I will not have my nation played up as a helpless bunch of over-weight (*ahem*), under-prepared losers ready for the Big, Bad-Ass Americans to swan in and play WWII Saviours again...
We are NOT victims.
And we NEVER WILL BE.
