Great, lets nerf all the powerful characters so that cyclops may look less useless

Honestly, I'd rather hope for a reduction in omega level power discussions. Threads be merging together at this point.

I just want to see characters that have street level physicals treated as such, popularity be damned.

IE Logan routinely punches far above his weight class. Indestructible skeleton and healing factor or not, his physicals (strength, speed, etc.) are still only marginally above Peak Human, so I don't care WHAT publication history says, he should not be throwing down with high-end superhumans like Hulk. And yes, this goes for his ENTIRE family, including X-23.

It's as bad as Batman fighting Superman with only "prep" as justification.

For that matter, Healing Factors seriously need to be toned down across the board for anyone not named Deadpool. Maybe writers will even start writing Logan and Laura as having brains again, rather than just throwing them head-first into fights because they can just heal from the damage.

I agree with you fully, lets face it, as things stands no one is more omega than Logan Howlett

Being honest here? I find those convenient "mutant circuits" and "mutant magic" much worse than characters who are too powerful. At least the characters' powers follow some lose logic (it used to be much worse when they weren't as powerful). Can anyone explain what's Hope's role in the resurrection? I mean, explain it clearly clearly. 'Cause I've read the comics and the way I could explain it is mostly headcanon based on some stuff from previous comics.

I think when implemented well the circuits have a ton of potential, but like you said there isn’t always clarity around how it’s implemented.

Speaking of brains.... getting punched by Hulk should give them such a concussion they'd be out for a week.

And often it's just a convenient excuse to have something happening in the story. That's what really bothers me about them.

EDIT: While with powerful characters, it's usually the other way around: what bothers me is when they conveniently *don't* use their powers so the conflict doesn't end too quickly.

I would actually like to see more Avengers/XMen conflicts

Smaller scale than AvX would actually be ok.

Marvel can't write hero vs hero events, it's past time they stop trying.

Funny thing... despite being ACTUAL villains, the Acolytes did a better version of non-villainous antagonist than the Avengers did in AvX.

Well yeah, since we already had the large scale one.

Hope is in the Marvel 'royal' family ,is all I can come up with.

They'd done conflicts with them before, just not as a mega-event... which kinda ruined it, since it meant the conflict had to be at an absurd scale for the story to work... but the conflict made no sense at that scale.
