deleted scene? his mom?


the story starts with his mom in the er and the dr says something like "remember the unborn child experiences everything the mother does". I originally assumed that she died during childbirth but then why would the dr have said that? After watching it again I think the mother was struck by lightning and that is where he gets his incredible smarts, energy, and electromagnetic "powers". I think he would have been albino but something else caused him to have these abilities.

It's not a deleted scene, it's shown in a flashback the middle (when they're camping in the woods) that she was struck by lightning when pregnant.

Did you watch the movie? It shows clearly that she was struck by lightening. The whole premis is that the lightening is the catalyst for his powers.
