Why are most X-Men so stupid?
Why are most X-Men so stupid?
The appeal of the X-Men goes down in proportion to how many of them there are. This is why putting out 7 different X-books hurts the brand more than it helps.
So the two maggot creatures are his digestive system, they eat things then go into his body to give him nutrients.
What if they die, does he starve?
Is this better or worse than the random student whos mutant power is 'has a slightly longer neck' or the one the power of 'being blue'?
The maggots can eat through practically anything ala Matter Eater Lad
They're like Upchuck from Ben 10
But instead of converting the stuff they eat into an energy blast they bring it back to Maggott and he gets super strength/durability
Why doesn't he just eat things directly and get powered up? Why all this needless bullshit involving other creatures?
>So the two maggot creatures are his digestive system, they eat things then go into his body to give him nutrients.
>What if they die, does he starve?
Probably, yeah.
He started out with three, but one was killed and now he only has the two.
>Why doesn't he just eat things directly and get powered up?
He can't even digest food the normal way anymore.
>Why all this needless bullshit involving other creatures?
Because mutant biology is all kinds of retarded.
>This is why putting out 7 different X-books hurts the brand more than it helps.
Considering that those books keep being on the first places of the top ten every week, i'd say you know shit.
Because mutants are stupid.
>Ben 10
How pathetic
They considered this student worthy of being given a CODENAME for christ's sake, as if his neck is anything but a disability.
And don't forget his peer, the fearsome FOREARM!
Blame Xavier. They barely finished high school. No higher education other than Hank. i guess Scott is certified pilot(?) Jean is some kind of therapist(?) everyone else can't even fill a job application.
Speaking of our boy Jazz he was one of the lucky few to keep his 'powers' after so many other mutants lost theirs, and continued to fight the good fight for mutantkind by being an incredibly shitty rapper.
The X-Men's school was never about training students to have an actual future, it was just ensuring the racial-militia had a sufficient supply of warm bodies versus attrition.
Bobby used to be an accountant with multiple math degrees but Bendis threw that out so he could be a ditzy gay stereotype
Teen Jean mind-raping him into being her brain-damaged gay bff is actually so much more plausible.
How would having multiple mouths around your neck even work?
To succ as many cocks as possible
So this guy is technically a member of the species Homo Superior?
I'm not a blowjob-mechanics expert but I don't think that would be satisfying for anyone involved.
The one time she was useful was when her multiple voices confused an intruder into thinking that there were a few more people around.
post more dumb mutant powers
Only the main X-Men title is still in the top ten. All the other have dropped to the 40-45k range.
Kitty has a CS degree, even though given current canon she's barely old enough to even have finished college. Karma also has a college degree.
There was that ginger kid with the mutant power to self-destruct, but he can only do it once.
How do you even figure that out?
The opposite case creeps up in X-Men comics too, because capeshit writers are some of the worst writers around.
An example of a mutant with an extremely useful power that got shat on because it wasn't a combat ability was Cypher.
Not everyone on the team needs to be out there stabbing things with pigslicers that pop out of their hands or shooting things with punchbeams out of their eyes.
I think his parents revealed to him they were mutants so they took him to the X-mansion, Beast did a bunch of tests on him and found out the nature of his yet to be awakened mutant gift (since its usually dormant until puberty).
The X-man known as Skin is slightly better than guys like longneck or forearm, since his deforming mutation is... almost like a superpower, kinda.
All things considered, wouldn't that be a common test in the MU, both to see if you have an X-gene and to see whether or not you're going to be Thirty Anuses Boy?
Most of the X-Men can be killed by guns. Almost all of them can be killed by guns under certain conditions. I'd love to see a writer remember that.
>All things considered, wouldn't that be a common test in the MU, both to see if you have an X-gene and to see whether or not you're going to be Thirty Anuses Boy?
Ah but that sort of thinking leads to people developing cures for self-destructive deforming mutant powers that only impair the one that has it, which is WRONG and EVIL according to the incredibly attractive supermodels with amazing powers in charge of the mutant black-ops teams..
>Most of the X-Men can be killed by guns. Almost all of them can be killed by guns under certain conditions. I'd love to see a writer remember that.
The recent X-Men titles have some of them dying to some really mundane shit. Their first mission to destroy Mother Mold ended up with all of them getting blasted to death one way or another. The resurrection shit that's brought up nearly all the time is there to drill in the person's head that they'll have a new clone up and running again even if they get plugged in the head by a bullet or sliced to bits.
They can remember that the vast majority of mutants can die real easily, but only if it's a plot point.
>Only the main X-Men title is still in the top ten.
Nope.
>mutant power to self-destruct, but he can only do it once
I didn't expected it to work twice
>be Horrifying Lobster Girl
>get told you should be proud of your mutation by a supermodel, ex-royalty who can control the weather even though you can no longer exist outside of a salt tank and are basically a bunch of human appendages stuck to giant lobster
>someone invents a cure for being a mutant
>supermodel squad destroys it
>every goddamn time
>fuck it
>have your parents sell the car you can no longer drive for cash
>head on down to Spiral's Body Shop
>get turned back human and get a supermodel body while you're at it
>Spiral even throws in X-ray vision in exchange for a couple of testimonials
>sure, you might be used as a living camera for a reality show about yourself in an alternate dimension but it beats living in that salt tank
>Mystique murders the fuck out of you
Cyclops really screwed him over when he reactivated the x-genes of most ex-mutants.
The students could pick their own codenames whether or not they were in combat or not
That's how you get kids called Tag or Sharkgirl or Goldballs
So you say apart from being physically deformed losers those two are also mentally retarded?
You can be both
One of my linear algebra professors in university was a gay club enthusiast
In the minutes before lectures started he would play EDM on the auditorium speakers
Some of my classmates friended him on facebook and his profile pic was him in a club
I think I saw him on grindr once
Nitro has the same power but he can do it as much as he wants.
Why isn't it more obvious to people that Slim's a mutant when he's walking around civilian style wearing his ruby-quartz glasses?
We know from how easily they get knocked off that there's nothing keeping them tight against his eyes.
You'd think it would be more obvious that destructive crimson beams were constantly shooting out of his eyeballs before being negated on impact with his red-tinted spectacles, like if you were standing beside and looking towards him.
>Nitro has the same power but he can do it as much as he wants.
Further proof that genetic enhanced humans are superior to mutants.
I mean there's a back-alley guy that can reliably give anyone credible permanent superpowers, and he does it for the purpose of underground superpowered wrestling.
His work makes the Super Soldier Serum look like nothing, its nonsensical that people are still trying to recreate that weak rubbish when so many better ways to make super soldiers openly exist in the 'modern day' of the setting and don't need to be rediscovered.
Wasn't there a minor villain that was part of a team for like Spider-Man or something who was like this but the extra mouths were on her hands and her shoulders for some reason
Its just retarded comic book logic. The ability to create multiple Extremis, Spider-men, Hulks, and Wonder Men already exist.
If anything the mutant nation should be gangbanged under a tide of mass-produced superhumans, no Sentinels required.
Glob's powers aren't useless but its still a pretty shit card to be dealt.
An army of immortal unkillable Hulks and Wonder Men would already be too much. Writers tend to shit on Wonder Man, but he is legit Superman-class being.
Honestly some X-Gene mutants don't have powers they just have birth defects
LOOK UPON THE NEXT STEP IN HUMAN EVOLUTION AND TREMBLE, Yas Forums!
those maggots are literally his digestive tract. without them giving him nutrients, he would die.
That post was asking why does he have that stupid bullshit to begin with, why didn't his body just develop that power directly instead of creating giant maggot creatures as part of his mutation.
>they mass produce it
>UH OH, THING GO WRONG IN PROCESS AND EVERYBODY CRAZY
>they don't do it anymore, unless it's to repeat the above step
It's the in-universe reason why they keep trying to pursue the SSS, it's brings people to a more reasonable state of superhuman without things going too wrong once they do, an army of Steve Rogers is far more valuable because less things can potentially go wrong, assuming the process doesn't fuck up.
No, you are wrong. Its 100% a contrivance and that comicbooks aren't consistent.
Its like Star Trek with its technobabble, they pull anything out their ass to set up/resolve a plot point then forget it immediately after.
Wasn't there a Brood whos mutant power was wmpathy and the ability to think individually? And apart from alien mutants there is also angel mutants and demon mutants.
Because their recycled plotline is retarded and would only make sense if they were in their own setting divorced from all the other super heroes & villains.
A surprising amount of big name superheroes can be killed if you just shoot them.
I mean its most obvious in the ones without any actual powers or power suits such as Batman and Punisher who should be long dead but it goes higher, like spidey isn't bulletproof if you could hit him.
IRL you can be a gay and be a lot of other things as well. Iceman's entire character, personality, relationships and 50-year history have been hollowed out and replaced with nothing but the laziest gay stereotyping, and it gets even worse when he's written by actual gay writers.
>The ability to create multiple Extremis, Spider-men, Hulks, and Wonder Men already exist.
The events that created Spider-Man were an accident, and unknown to most, so could be difficult to re-create. The other methods have all created dangerously unstable superhumans, there are reasons nobody's trying that.
There was an entire event about the entire city of New York getting Spider powers through bedbug bites
Spider-Island happen. The entire population of NY acquired Spider powers. A few people already know how Spider-man got his powers. Radioactive spider bite is as much of a secret as Bruce Wayne being Batman. Not everyone know about it but its known among those that matters, both heroes and villains.
Nothing unstable about Extremis enhancement. Its a legit transhuman enhancement with no drawbacks. Excluding already insane host.
Gamma-radiation enhancements for the most part are stable. Bruce is just an abnormality among them. Jenifer got Aaroned so that its not on her.
Ionic enhancement are stable. Only potential negative is their immortality and the inability to reproduce. And the possibility of them developing ptsd after being killed and self-resurrecting.
>Ionic enhancement are stable. Only potential negative is their immortality and the inability to reproduce. And the possibility of them developing ptsd after being killed and self-resurrecting.
Erik Josten became insane before he died and came back. Wonderman's periods of madness are more than ptsd, they're linked to his powers, and to his awareness that the real Wonderman died years ago, and he's just living energy wearing the form of a dead man.
