Can you imagine the X-Men guys as little kids? Little Wolverine, being bullied and then suddenly, he gets angry and he slashes them with his claws. Or little Rogue going to the prom with the boy that she likes. And when she finally has a chance to get her first kiss, BAM! she kills him. No?

Well, I can. In fact, I got to know these X kids when we were little. But this is another X team that I'm talking about. They're called "Batang X". Batang X was a movie, here in the Philippines. It's about 5 children - A-Gel, G-Boy, 3-Na, Kid/Lat and Control who has superhuman abilities. Dr. Kuwago (Dr. Owl) takes care of them in their high tech headquarters. Of course, there's a villain, Dr. Axis, an alien stranded on earth with her space ship. She kidnaps the kids in order to steal their powers to fuel her spaceship. Source

Our feature(s) for today came from Pilot's X family. In a way, they are a tad different from other pens and highlighters because have these superpen abilities. They can erase their own ink - without a correction tape or eraser. They use the heat generated by friction. How cool is that?!

• It writes/glides smoothly on any paper.
• The ink flow is just right, not too much that the pen tip gets messy and not too little that you have to stop and go over what you wrote again.
• The tint of the highlighter is vibrant. It does the work - highlighting.
• The large pen cap is a plus for me. I'm really forgetful so sometimes I can't remember where I put pen caps. :)

What I don't like about these pens:

• The amount of time to erase your mistake depends on the paper. I found out that the fastest erasing time is with the regular white papers. Using them on colored ones takes a lot more effort and time.
• For the rollerball pen, there is no definiteness in the ink. The black pen seems to give out a darker gray-ish tint than a solid black one.
• You can't use the highlighter and the ball pen together. I mean, you can't take notes with the ball pen and highlight them later with the highlighter and then decide to un-highlight your notes later. Unless you want your entire notes to be erased. :)
