Hi there. The Marvel thread seems to be about monthly comics, but I had a question about a character and I was curious to see if any of you had an idea about it.
So every classic Marvel hero has some sort of flaw: Spider-Man has his self-doubt. The Thing can't revert to human form and Iron Man has to wear the suit to stay alive. For the longest time I thought that the X-Men's flaw was that they were born with powers, "defending the world that fears them" yadda yadda. But then I considered Cyclops.
Cyclops also has the whole "brain damage won't let him control his optic blasts" thing also. So he has two flaws, whereas the rest of the original X-Men don't really have that. Is this because he was considered the "lead" in the book or what?
