For Random hero

The X in X-Men means the X-gene, the gene that gave them their powers

Wolverines powers
Enhanced eyesight, hearing, smell, strength.
He has retractable blades connected to his bone structure made of strong metal, like all his bones in his body
Plus he has superfast healing and long life

P.S i dont know what happened to nightcrawler

I felt sorry for Brainiac, he always comes back a little less powerful, I think he's down to being a Dell with Windows 2000 and some robotic welders in a 1967 Chevy Impala with the mad hydraulics and alien-enhanced woofers.  At least Superman would be bobbin his head while he threw Brainiac into the sun.

Speaking of which, Bart's hero Radioactive Man throws people into the Sun and asks them if its hot enough for them, which is very cool.

The Fourth Doctor was also a great hero, if he had to break Al Qaeda then Osama would end up in a mulcher or strangled by robots or aged 10,000 years in the TARDIS matrix or thrown off a cliff, blown up in his lab, or buried alive by rebels for a thousand years. Or all the above. I know the Doctor flinched a bit from Xenocide of the Dalelks but he came round didnt he? My man.

The X in X-Men stand for Xaviers Men.

Wolverines only true mutant power is super natural healing, his claws are part of his metal that was embedded into his body as part of a project.

When nightcrawler disappears he goes into another dimension, where it's extremely hot (hence the reason he leaves smoke behind, and the smell of brimstone) not sure but i think it's a location thats like before time or something, all the creatures there looks like dinosaurs (i guess kinda like he does?)

Actually, Kefka was a great villain.

Ace Rimmer........... What a guy

the first one is debatable. what the x stands for depends on who you ask. i bet Xavier might tell outsiders it stands for Xavier, but the name of the series, X-men certainly stands for the X-gene which may or may not be named after Xavier.

wolverine does not just have super human healing, he also has enhanced eye sight and smelling, noob. but yes, his claws are part of a metal skeleton that was surgically grafted onto his skeleton as an experiment done on him by humans which he only survived because of his super human healing.

now without looking it up; what kind of metal is wolverine's claws?

but yeah, nightcrawler does go in another dimension when he transports.

/sigh heath's joker is the most overrated villian ever. i liked Jack Nicholson's joker much more.

Atavax, was a pretty awesome villian. Omega Red was solid too. but my favorite probably has to be Kefka.

as for hero's. V in vendetta is nice because they give him a unique quirkiness that they usually reserve solely for villains. John Galt is also a solid hero that almost goes the opposite route as V by him being much more distant and only seeing him through the eyes of his admirers. But as for my Favorite, i'd have to go with Alexander DeLarge; at least thats his name in the Movie, i dont think they give him a last name in the book for his complexity and his volatility.

Batman/Joker (just about any, but really only comic book or 60's tv show)

The be all and end all of hero/villan pairings... and it is really the only way to view them...

Gotta be Iron man, not because he's got any real power, but he's like any of us geeks. With a little will power and ingenuity we can be like him, and have a flying suit.

and as far as villians, gotta be pinky and the brain, trying to take over the world ^.^
