Because you have to come to terms that Vulcan + Darwin, is the weaker of the two. Power for Power, X-Man generates enough energy to crush the Earth. A variable that needs to be factored in.
Granted, Vulcan may become stronger. But those evolutional growths come under certain conditions. To go outside of what we’ve seen on panel, and make an argument of “invent a power” is to speculate.
Vulcan was matching Black Bolt, and could not overtake Black Bolts energy because he was vast energy manipulator himself. It’s no different with X-Man, he is a vast energy manipulator. And Vulcan was put down the moment his screamed. Look at X-Man who has greater damage output than Black Bolt. The moment he wishes to unleash serious firepower I would be hard pressed to believe Vulcan will walk through it, even with Darwin.
You say well Darwin has survived, Hel death touch. Its not a magical aging stimulant, its physical pounding. Darwin has limits to how much damage he can soak.
