[glow=red,2,300]Danger Room[/glow] In the early books it was filled with traps, projectile firing devices, and mechanical dangers such as presses, collapsing walls and the like intended to challenge the trainee. Meanwhile, an observer is in the overhanging control booth managing the room's mechanisms to oversee the exercise while ensuring the subject's safety. Later the Danger Room was upgraded with robots for the X-Men to fight against. After befriending the Shi'ar the X-Men rebuilt the Danger Room with Shi'ar hard-light holographic technology. These upgrades were largely added by Dr. Hank McCoy (Beast). The Danger Room is located in the X-Mansion; every destruction of the latter led to a rebuilding, and usually upgrading, of the Danger Room. The training facility has endured a lot of damage over the years, usually from X-Men trainings or X-Men going rogue, as Colossus did during The Muir Island Saga. Supervillains have often taken over the facility, most notably Arcade. It is suggested in the X-men Official Guide that the objects in the danger room are holograms surrounded by force fields. It is also revealed that the Danger Room can display holograms in only 32-bit colour.
