I didn't so much mind him stabbing Thanos in that it was totally ineffective, although it shows the general misunderstanding of how much force Logan should be able to put behind his claws. There unbreakable and quite sharp, but he still needs enough force to break an object's surface tension, which for Thanos, the Hulk, or other such creatures is far more than he should really be able to exert. Really, anything that can stop an AP rifle round ought to be claw-proof unless there's a super-strong arm behind it.

Bone-claw feral Logan was profoundly bad. Dark Pheonix saga through the Austrailia period was perfect.

For most overrated though, I'll take Professor X. Far all they yammer on about how powerful he is, he's hardly ever able to accomplish anything significant. There's always some plot device or another holding him back. I wouldn't mind that so much, since every story ending with "and then Charles mind controls the bad guy" would be lame, except that they're constantly hyping how big and powerful he is.

In both cases, less would be more.

I agree, he shouldn't be able to pierce the hulk.

X is overrated, because he has a great power, but he never uses it, no comic sales for him in a book.

Perhaps not overrated exactly, but overburdenned with contrivance. Despite being filthy rich, and having Forge and Tony Stark's cell-phone numbers he still cant get ahold of a set of powered leg braces to let him walk when he needs to. He's the posterboy for plot induced stupidity, to the point where I have a hard time taking him seriously.

I'd say Wolverine, really. Cool character, and all.. but on 3 different teams, plus extram comics, plus so much deus ex machina it's not even silly..

Well the sad truth is that he's overexposed, because the comics will sell without his prescence, so you gotta take the good with the bad...

I think that Gladiator is OVERRATED everyone treats him like hes thr Fu**in' second comin of christ.Anyone who knows anything knows that hes no match for supes, yet people will argue their arses off. He loses to anyone with a decent amount if power, yet people still jock him because hes MARVEL.......

Gladiator has one of the worst, all encompassing excuses for low showings: his confidence. Plus he isn't realy a major character, and so is often used as a punching bag. When Marvel puts him in a good light? He beats Ego and Thor with enhanced speed. And he contains supernovas and flies around 100x lightspeed.

Superman is one of the unholy fanboy characters... Because so many people consider the fact that Gladiator can beat him at his own game ludicrous. FB Superman's powers include speed to the point of omnipresence, instant kills or KO's with his godly strength, heat vision in the trillions of degrees, and invulnerability to everything. Even kryptonite, when he concentrates on it.

The other 3 are, of course, FB Batman, FB Wolverine and FB Spiderman (joint emperors of the unholy regime) Storm, Hulk, and Thing are up there as well.
