Well, I don't know if it's necessary to shit on new members. The Marvel movies are many peoples' entry point into comics. It's understandable they won't have a ton of knowledge off that bat, and that's fine. If we rewind time, most long-standing members made posts they'd cringe at now too. Even for life-long comic readers, the forum rules and standards are new things. Think about it: You've watched Flash trip over random shit and get tagged by street level martial artists all his life, then come to the forums and people tell you he's overpowered. It's jarring.
Tbh, we had about as many "fanboys" in the past I feel. Every character had a legion ready to defend them with the wildest interpretations of outlier feats possible for 50 pages. It happened even with lesser known characters...people thought Magik was immune to telepathy for the longest time...
I think we can correct lopsided matches while still being welcoming though.

Don't worry about it. There's growing pains involved in forum life.
There's just massive physical differences between folks like Orion/Maxima and the Marvel squad. On the boards, characters operate at peak performance, provided they stay in character. In a comic, Iron Man could probably hold, but on the forums he'd get tossed about. Maxima nullifies their one ace in the hole, Emma, as Maxima is a telepath too.
