The 1980s gave us an entire slate of movies that seemed to exist just to have as much teenage T&A as possible.

This Scott Baio / Willie Aames movie about a nerd who gets telekinesis from a science experiment culminates in an orgy-tastic scene right out of Carrie where Baio makes everyone's clothes fly off. We've got the NSFW video and a triviagasm for you down below. More »

NBC's phenom hit Heroes, the X-Men comic books, and the USA scifi series The 4400 all feature heroic mutants. These super-powered humans have been born with "mutant genes," or they've had some tinkering at the genetic level. But we still see the same powers cropping up again and again. Since the X-Men were first published in 1963, they've got the jump on the two television shows. Are Heroes and The 4400 just ripping off their powers? Let's find out with a look at five mutant abilities that these stories share. More »
