10 X-Men Characters Writers Need To Stop Using

This spot is reserved for heroes with probability based superpowers. It’s not that Domino and Longshot are uninteresting characters. In fact, both are extremely likable in very different ways. The problem is, while they are fun, their powers are too useful.

With the nebulous power of being lucky, any problem can be solved and any battle won instantly. With that level of MacGuffin, any dramatic tension a comic book tries to create is instantly sabotaged.

In a world where the powers are made up and the conflicts malleable, you’d hope writers could find a more creative way to resolve the plot.
