You’ve seen Johnny’s OP video and Kelly’s Overpowered video and now we are about to
give you another overpowered videos!
Aaaaah!
So OP!
In this video will be looking at top 10 overpowered X-Men that need to be stopped.
Which I am super excited to be sharing with you all as I am a huge X-Men fan.
Sad I am not wearing X-Men swag today.
Just imagine this Wonder Woman shirt is the 90s xmen symbol.
And if you love the X-Men as much as I do shout out that love in the comments by letting
me know who you think the strongest, most overpowered X-Men is and be sure to give this
video a thumbs up.
Okay, let’s get counting.
10 Magik
Illyana Rasputina is Colossus’ younger sister.
She originally joined the X-Men with just some basic teleportation powers.
At a young age she was kidnapped and taken to Limbo by Belasco she also got some sweet
magical training.
Belasco put part of her soul in a bloodstone and told her he loved her.
Creepy.
Creepy creepy.
And while she was there she was also beaten and it wasn’t until her rescue by Shadow
and Cat and later her continued training under Belasco that granted her the power to over
take her kidnapper and become the Queen of Limbo and eventually leave this reality she
was trapped in.
Upon her return to the X-Men, she was suped on magic, had her teleportation powers and
also was armed with her weapon, Soulsword.
She kind of give me Leona vibes from League of Legends which just adds to her powerful
presence in my mind.
9 Colossus
That’s right, Magik’s big bro, Piotr Rasputin is also on this list.
Given the codename Colossus after agreeing to attend Professor Xavier’s School for
Gifted Youngsters, he is able to change his skin to armour at will.
His armour is durable, strong and almost impenetrable.
To give you an idea of just how tough Colossus is, we can look at that time when he took
on the Juggernaut.
While his armoured skin is susceptible to damage from adamantium and vibranium, his
armour is otherwise impenetrable.
And y’all saw how much of a beating he took in first Deadpool movie when he took on Angel.
Oddly enough the Deadpool version of Colossus is more accurate than the X-Men film version
of him.
I guess we’ll see if Colossus gets to remain as overpowered and Russian in the MCU.
But hopefully we will be safe from American Colossus cause that’s a version that maybe
needs to be stopped.
8 Archangel
One of the original founding members of the X-Men, Archangel also known as Warren Worthington
the third, was introduced in X-Men comics in the first issue of X-Men volume 1.
Although at that time he went by the name Angel.
This X-Men was born with actual wings.
Though his parents apparently did not notice the markings on his back that would lead to
him growing wings later and for the most part he lived a normal life, somehow concealing
his wings… odd, right?
At an early age, he became a vigilante hero adopting the name Angel and after joining
the X-Men later changed his name to Archangel.
Doesn't sound like he needs to be stopped, right?
Well think again!
During the X-Factor series, he received a devastatingly overpowered upgrade when he
became one of Apocalypse’s Horsemen.
He grew bio-metallic wings that were retractable, razor sharp and could fire neurotoxin filled
feather darts.
Ouch.
Don’t worry though, Archangel was stopped--in a sense--reverting to his former self, after
his bio metallic wings mooted.
Because yeah, apparently metal feathers also molt.
Who knew?
7 Storm
One of the most unique X-Men in terms of her origins story, Storm also known as Ororo Munroe
was worshipped as a goddess when her powers first emerged in contrast to most of her fellow
X-Men who were spurned for their abilities.
While most of what we see in the comics and animated and live-action adaptations, is Storm’s
abilities to influence only localized weather, when prompted her powers can be as dramatic
as her accent in the X-Men film series from the 2000s.
Storm suffers from some intense claustrophobia stemming from childhood trauma and it is this
fear that has prompted her full potential to be uncovered.
Look at X-Men volume 1 issued 147, where Ororo creates a severe storm that encompasses the
whole earth, threatening all of humanity and being likened in the issue to the Phoenix.
Adding Storm’s powers into the mix in a world that is already suffering dramatically
from global warming is next level risky.
The world definitely doesn’t need any more large-scale natural disasters, thank you very
much.
6 Cyclops
Often the leader of the X-Men team, Cyclops made this list less for his abilities and
more for his sometimes questionable behaviour and choices.
He has some of the weirdest powers for someone who is an original member of the team, the
ability to basically fire laser beams from his eyes.
This power is so intense that it actually requires Cyclops, aka Scott Summers to wear
a visor in order to control his powers.
Granted apparently his eyelids are also strong enough to stop the lasers completely, which
is weird but hey, mutants, superheroes, comics…? (shrug) Moving past this ability when can
be very dangerous when left uncontrolled in and of itself, we also have to deal with the
moral dilemmas created by some of Scott’s actions.
In Avengers vs X-Men, his actions lead to the return of the Phoenix Force and death
of Charles Xavier by his own hands after becoming full on obsessed with the power of the Phoenix.
Cyclops also tends to be loyal to his beliefs to a fault.
In House of X, when steered towards Magneto’s philosophies, we see him turn borderline villain
trying to forcefully separate mutant children from their non-mutant parents in an effort
to “protect them.”
Ick.
5 Hope Summers
Adopted into the Summers and Grey family, Hope has the potential to be the strongest
X-Men out there, the most OP.
She can duplicate other mutants powers just by being near them.
Similar to Rogue but she doesn’t actually need to make physical contact and she doesn’t
drain them of life energy or their own powers while duplicating.
However it still makes her a formidable foe for any mutant.
She can also take on a seemingly unlimited number of powers at a time, so if you team
her up with a huge X-Men team, she would be pretty unstoppable.
Combine this with the fact that she was raised by the badass, Cable and you have a next level
X-Men on your hands.
Not only this but the Phoenix Force has always been fond of Hope.
When Hope and the Phoenix Force merged she became the White Phoenix, the only person
who appeared to be able to not be driven mad by the Phoenix’s power and she was the only
one strong enough to dispel its energy with the help of Scarlet Witch.
If that isn’t overpowered, I don’t know what is.
4 Wolverine
Is there such a thing as too much Wolverine?
I’d like to say no but at this point I’m starting to think there just might be.
Wolverine is now seen as probably one of the most popular X-Men, and superheroes all time.
He has even held Avenger status, making everyone obsess over the thought of perhaps getting
to see him join the MCU in the Avengers Infinity War Endgame post credits, which sadly for
Wolverine-fans did not happen.
Wolverine, aka James Howlett or better known as just Logan, boasts of a mutation involving
retractable bone claws and regenerative healing abilities.
After having adamantium added to his skeleton, he became even more powerful.
He has had more thrown at him than most superheroes and as a result we have seen his powers expanded
in the comics.
He is also known to age slowly, one of the few characters where we actually address this
issue.
At one point he was even considered immortal, having a pact with Azreal, the angel of death
that if he could beat him in a fight after dying, he would get to be resurrected.
In Old Man Logan, when he is considered to be “weaker” he still manages to battle
an alternate version of the Hulk!
Granted Logan only really needs to be stopped if you feel you’ve had too much of him.
Have you?
3 Rogue
With her power stealing and life draining abilities, Rogue aka Anna Marie LeBeau is
one of the most insanely overpowered X-Men around.
Considering she has also played the villain before she might also be one to consider putting
stop sign in front of.
Uh, hold up.
Before joining the X-Men, Rogue was a runaway who was taken in by Mystique and Brotherhood
of Mutants.
She almost killed Ms Marvel, now known as Captain Marvel, by touching her.
Rogue was used to temporarily taking mutants powers and weakening them but in Ms Marvel’s
case, she held on too long, stealing Carol Danver’s powers in a more permanent sense
and leaving her in a coma.
Rogue also accidentally absorbs her psyche without intending to.
Her level of powers and lack of control are the post concerning.
Though of course, in X-Men Legacy, Rogue gains full control of her abilities after Danger
and Professor X were able to figure out how her abilities work and alter her mind to help
her gain control.
Allowing her to kiss Gambit.
Awwww.
I love those two together.
2 Professor X
What’s more terrifying than a mutant who can read your mind and the minds of everyone
else on the planet all at once at any distance?
One who can also influence your mind, possibly without you knowing.
Hence why Professor Charles Xavier makes number two on the list.
Granted Professor X usually uses his abilities for good but as we see in the film Logan,
even the best intentions may not protect those you love from the darker sides of one’s
powers.
In Logan we see an aged Professor X, masterfully played by the only Professor X in my mind
Sir Patrick Stewart.
This version of Charles is suffering from a degenerative brain disease that affects
his memories, causes seizures and causes him to lose control of his powers as well.
And we learn that the worst has happened, he has supposedly accidently used his powers
to kill members of the X-Men and hurt countless numbers of people as well.
Yikes.
Poor Patrick Stewart.
1 Jean Grey
The only person unchained who could be scarier than Professor X unchained would be Jean Grey.
Especially when under the influence of the Phoenix Force.
You may be thinking at this point that the Phoenix Force is the real star of this list,
and you might be right.
I definitely have a Phoenix obsession of my own.
However the fact remains that what the Phoenix Force really gives you is access to your full
potential.
And this is terrifying with Jean because her full potential is insane.
Granted originally in the comics Phoenix was a separate entity that existed while Jean
was chilling and healing in a cocoon under the ocean.
But in the films and animated series, Phoenix has been presented as a melding of minds.
Which is later also how it has been explained in later comics like with the Phoenix Five.
Jean is one of the strongest X-Men ever.
A stronger telepath than Charles Xavier, while her influence over a mind may not be as finessed
or subtle as his, she could definitely control your mind in a similar way.
The only difference is you would probably know she was doing it as opposed to maybe
thinking the actions were of your own volition.
While both of these scenarios are terrifying, the idea of knowing you have no control over
your actions, of trying to fight back and losing is, in my mind, even more terrifying.
Thanks for watching, nerd squad.
I hope you enjoyed counting down with me.
There are so many overpowered X-Men that did not make the cut but that I really wanted
to include so if you want a part 2 of this list be sure to let us know.
I really wanted to include Sunspot on here.
He actually refers to himself as the strongest X-Men in the No Surrender storyline while,
fun fact.
How true do you think that statement is?
