Aquaman leaded a telepathic assault against 2 Millenia Giant, and on the first occasion, his telepathy was sufficiently powerful to threaten the Giant, he's far above Xavier's level.
MM is above both AM and Xavier even if enhanced by Cerebro, Martians are a race of superhuman beings with centuries of experience in the use of telepathy, Xavier is outta his league.
Yes. Which is ridiculous.
Sentry- Yes Spidey has organics. I don't care either way.
Iceman- Yes. But he wasn't completely made of organic ice.
Other examples of powerups:
Wasp-can grow like Giant-Man
Colossus-strength upgrade
Luke Cage-Strength upgrade
Scarlet Witch- can f**k up reality
Jean Grey- is now a primodial Force that surpasses Galactus
Storm-can now create EMPS
Psylocke-has super-strength and uber-telekinesis
Im sorry but i feel that these upgrades u two talk of seem like a natural progression as opposed to marvel just heaping on abilities to make their characters cooler like dc has done with aquaman and countless others IMO
Collossus- Started out when he was 18 he is now approaching his mid twenties. Of course hes going to get stronger. Thats progression not some lame upgrade for the sake of it
Storm- Her power is to psionically manipulate ambient energy patterns and fields its just that while on earth her powers manifest as weather phenomena however it has been different when she was in space or other dimensions (Trion one for example). When you actually know what her abilities are then creating EMPS just seems like a refinement of her abilities.
Jean- Jean from back in the 70's was originally supposed to manifest the phoenix as the ultimate expression of her powers. However the phoenixes have a job to do as doctors of the universe, plus there can only be one avatar at a time. For these reasons jean doesnt always have her phoenix powers which would make it a boring read. IMO its interesting for a character to have power that humbles the abstracts yet is human and so has a human perspective. Jean being phoenix isnt some recent add on its been shown to be the case since the 70's its just that some writers obviously didnt know how to deal with that being the case. It makes so much more sense.
Psylocke- cant really comment because shes messed up and her powers are always changing lol. Plus i hav to wait till i finish uni and actually read recent issues of uncanny b4 i make my judgement
Scarlet Witch- As the daughter of Magneto who is often thought of as the most powerful mutant on earth you would expect her to be really powerful as well. She has always had powers which affect reality and probabilities. Theres been a steady progression for her over the years from when she was simply throwing around hex spheres, to being able to channel chaos magic more effectively to now where she can effect reality on a greater scale.
For these characters ive mentioned their current states just seem like a natural progression.
Just check out Aquamans apparently Xavier level telepathy. Where the hell did that come from?
I agree w/you about everything but I was talking about how Beast looks & the organic webs. It works in the movies, but it shouldn't be changed in the comics. They're whoring out my favorite character. I know nothing of Cage's upgrade since I've been out of the loop the last 2 semesters. I think that with the X-Men being in school and constantly training to improve that they should get progressively more powerful. And if Iceman was one of the 12 he should definitely. And yes, even if they try to make him a god, he's still gonna be lame a$$ Aquaman. He will never be cool. The closest he'll get is on that JLA 'toon.
