So, what if the parachute that carried Scott and Alex never caught fire ? What if it was Alex who took the worst of the fall and Scott was left unhurt by the whole incident ?
What kind of development in Scott's powers would have taken place ? Would he have become an Omega-level mutant like Gabriel ? And would Alex have been the one to get tortured by Sinister, spend his childhood in the orphanage and then become the first X-Man ? I'm sure he would not be able to lead as well as Scott, but would still do a good job nonetheless.
It would have been interesting had there been a 'What-If' story that looked at this possibility. Gonna be cool to see wether Scott has potential to be an Omega-level mutant like Vulkan...
