Amazing Man's in the same boat, and that guy doesn't have dumb as a character trait.

Every Omega level mutant ever.

Just looked him up. He should be in the same league as the Absorbing man.

plastic man could be better used

The sad thing about the absorbing man is all he has to do is break into a jewlery store and get a peace of diamond. He would be pretty tough. From there in his diamond form he could find a peace of adamantium.

Hell I have seen him absorb electricity......guy is just a waste

He could be teleporting heads and limbs nonstop, endind most of the battles in 1 second. In theory he could trap foes in the Brimstone dimension forever.

For Marvel I really think that Colossus should be explored further. I thought that his strength was supposed to increase dramatically as he grew older but he's still not quite that powerful after all this time. I also think that his being a descendent of Rasputin should be touched upon more. His siblings (Illyana and Mikhail) are both dramatically more powerful than he is. Maybe they could introduce something like his armored form was only a reactionary manifestation of his powers and he really has a range of other forms he can take. Maybe something along the lines of his powers actually being a form of alchemy over his own form [which would play up the Rasputin/Magic angle] rather than simply being able to take on a metal form, but the metal form being his most apparent ability. They've already introduced the fact that his metal form is resistant to magic. They could really play that angle up with some creative writing.

that's not really using his powers in a new way though. that's cis--nc doesn't teleport heads off because he's a good guy. didn't know he could trap people in the brimstone world though.

I've always said it Juggernaut.

The guy is a vast walking engine and battery of magical energy.

We've seen him using his powers or people using his powers to do crazy things that seem to go beyond the classic super-brick version we see. Like warping space and time to open a portal for a demon army. Make duplicates of heroes at half their power. Shrink magical entities.

I think if Cain focused a little more he could be the magical equivalent of Surfer/Green Lantern/Superman in that his powers could theoretically let him do just about anything he wants to a High-Herald degree.

In his stint in Excallibur, it is said he can't access his powers because Cytorrak inhibits them from him, since Juggs wont be evil...

have they changed this? I kind of like it as a development for the character... sort of lol

Iceman - They keep sort of kinda trying, but no one wants to take him out of his goof ball persona for longer than one arc. I'd like to see some kind of terrible tragic event make him a tad darker and have Scott give him some kind responsibility - lead a strike team. He is the second X-man after all. He should be pulling rank on everyone. People do grow up even if they have to be forced to. Without writers forgetting this was done like all of his abilities. First he could "fly", then he could "teleport" and he's still using phucking ice slides. He's been told he can do more than stop molecules - but all he does is make ice. He's the weakest omega, bar none. I'd like to see them explain WHY he's considered omega and do something with him. Pull him up power-wise. Even if they have to change his damn name. Pym does it all the time.

they sort of did that with rockslide already and husk to an extent. colossus isnt gonna evolve past his current stature, he is just the weakest of his bloodline. tahts fine actually, he is a solid character as he is.

I'm more referring to Cain at full-power when he isn't being inhibited.

Although he is currently depowered again because he took on the Captain Universe powers and it did something to him.

Naw leave the tragedy schtick alone they tried it with Peter Parker I didn't care too much for it.

Electro always springs to mind when I think of potential, if he were smart and knew how vast his power actually was he would smoke Spiderman in seconds.

true that. I feel they wasted the label on him and wasted the character with a caticature of his personality.

I think its his relationship with cytorrak and his refusal to lose his self completely that always hold him back no matter what. cytorrak has rold him that he isnt the one that limits him, juggs does it himself.
