Well of course, what kind of lesson would the comic books be sending the kiddies if they figured out they didn't have to study to the point of exhaustion or make really high on their ACTs or SATs, instead they could just go the gym work out to the point of exhaustion and still succeed? ... Just look at Ahnuld ... Perfect example of Brawn over brains and still succeeding! Amazing I tell you, simply amazing... Of course he had to have a little bit of brains to become as successful as he has become... but you get my point... Course that's the real world and were talking comics here sooooo ... Yeah Brains will win over Brawn everytime! Cuz nothing is the same in comics as it is in real life. 😉
The villan who has commited despicably evil acts, including large amounts of murder, and will kill others if he/she isn't stopped permantely, is at the mercy of the heroes - and they don't finish him there and then. And he/she mocks the heroes for having no guts.
Then, quite often, a third party comes out of nowhere and does the deed, so the heroes image isn't sullied. (Such an example I recently saw in back issues of Ultimate X-Men.) 🙄
Meanwhile, Wonder Woman does a completely justified killing of Maxwell Lord, to save the lives of Batman and Superman, and they shun her. Candy-asses. 😒

Is a guy with liquid metal mouth (with the ability to control it of course), a girl who can heal everyone but herself, a guy who eats meat and gets strong, a girl who can manipulate the surface so it will "carry" her wherever she wants, a guy who "static cling" to any surface from any part of his body, a guy who can transform into a black dragon, can project black fire from his hands, is an incredible marksman, martial arts and weapon expert? ... Are those cliched ideas??

...But it's Professor X for Christs sake , what the hell do you expect !!!
Tech and Weapons from the future failing against hero's.
Certain hero's always finding the 1 in a million chance way to save the day more than once!! I don't mind seeing it just when the character uses it time after time makes me think it'd be more interesting seeing them failing and getting owned and then picking up the peices.

Are you trying to shill your own character ideas?
Yes as a matter of fact I am! If you browse through the "Metal Mouth" thread you'll see lots of original ideas for powers and characters. Unless of coruse I have searched hard enough through the comic book worlds, which I'll admit I haven't. But I still feel like they are some of the most uncliched things I've seen in a long time. Also just as a side note, I would like to take a moment to explain what I'm trying to do with Metal Mouth series, its an take on the Golden (or was it Silver? :erm🙂 Age of Heroes when they had corny names, wicked, weird powers, funky costumes, and still kicked ass and took names, but yet I'm trying to put a modern spin on it. 🤣 I'm still working on the origin stories of most, and have moved on from the aliens thing... I'm working on updating it soon!! Take a look and tell me what you think!

No, this was Jean weeping over how she couldn't kill the psycho mastermind behind Weapon X, and he gets away taunting them only to be shot dead by Nick Fury. This was Mark Millar's early work in the series.

Someone should of thrown the writing team that made Prof X the man he is today off a cliff long ago. They're seriously screwing the dude up with all these things crawling out of the woodwork recently i.e. Danger being sentient, Cassandra Nova, Vulcan ;S.
It's like Tony Stark too although i never really liked him. Damn blantent character corruption that can't be undone.
