Request for an X-planation from those of have seen "X-III:the last stand"

(Tiny spoiler alert!)

I must have missed something somewhere. But given the anti-mutant power displayed by Jimmy, aka Leech (played by "Thank You for Smoking's" Cameron Bright,) how come he ends up in the X-Men's school at the end?

Isn't that some sort of matter/anti-matter thing that spells disaster?

Or is it just another example of the muddle that is "X-Men III?"

Anyone have an explanation, or at least an amusing rationalization?

Euan, that's a mystery. It struck me as well, but I confess I giggled at the thought of Leech walking the halls and mutant powers going in and out like dimmer lights.

I didn't realize until I looked it up that his name was Leech, which is actually quite inspired.

My guess is that his powers only work on short range, so as long as he doesn't high five anyone he is cool at the school.
