Heh.I feel the same about the X-Men. Storm and Jean by themselves render most of the other X-Men useless. Telekinesis and telepathy + throwing lightning and tornadoes at people = why do we need you other fools again?
But that's actually something I've always enjoyed about X-Men. They aren't just plainly powered. Storm's abilities require open space. She can' just generate lightning bolts in a living room. And Jean Grey's power stems from a being or personality that isn't really under her control. I think the X-Men and related storylines do that sort of "consequence" very well, and the movies seemed to get some of that (oversimplified, IMO, but at least they tried). That's what makes Rogue such a favorite for me. More so in the comics than in the movies.
Back on the rails, I want to give the crowds a week to die down just a bit. Next weekend, I hope.
