Maybe he has a secondary mutation.

But no, he is not typically depicted as super strong. Just globby and flammable.

This is set in an alternate future of New X-Men. All the kids are super star heroes. I'm assuming Glob leveled up at some point.

Bill Murray from Groundhog Day as a man with access to lifetime upon lifetime of information and skills*

*only somewhat joking

The entire series has Bill Murray navigating every scenario smoothly and casually, just unflappable. Then at the end there's an issue from his point of view where everybody dies repeatedly at pivotal moments throughout the series only for him to wake up at the beginning of the day to try again, and again, and again.

Maybe with one team member dying and him unable to stop it, no matter how many repeats he gets. Or, even ebtter, someone dies, and he doesn't get a repeat of the day. He then breaksdown?

Groundhog Day already contains the single best "Clark Kent reacts to Pa's death" sequence that's ever been filmed. There's no particular reason to try and do it again in the comic just to be dramatic.

"Not today."

That is actually the premise of an episode of Supernatural. Sam is trapped in a time loop where every day Dean dies. They break the time loop but Dean dies right afterward and it doesn't reset. (It eventually resets.)

"Listen, no offense, but if I'm getting taken down, man, it ain't gonna be from fuckin' Speedball!"

After reading the first two volumes of League when they came out (eventually) I got so into the idea of an American league that I started listing them out by decade from the 40's. Then I found a program that one of the Arkham Horror guys made that let you create custom characters for the board game and before I could stop myself I had created an entire expansion for a board game for no one's benefit but my own. My list, if anyone cares (you don't) was this:
40's: The Phantom, The Rocketeer, Dick Tracy, The Shadow, Green Hornet, Rosie the Riveter, and Tarzan with special guest appearance by an immortal Princess Anastasia
50's: This group was more about post-war family values and the common man and woman fighting against Communist spies. They were Dobie Gillis, Donna Reed, The Fonz, Nancy Drew, Seymore Krelborn, and Julius Kelp (the Nutty Professor)
60's were all super spies and cops: Agent 99, John Steed, Napoleon Solo, Joe Friday, John Shaft, John Drake, and Archie Goodwin
70's were another group that dealt with mundane problems at home: DB Cooper, Bo Darville, Hunter S Thompson, Richard Kimble, and then Number 6 as the hold over character from the 70's.
80's: Alex P Keaton, Marty McFly, Teen Wolf, Sledge Hammer, Lydia Deets, Daniel-san, Ferris Beuller, and Nada (Roddy Piper from They Live).
90's: Buffy, Clarice Darling, Crocodile Dundee, Darkman, Hudson Hawk, Dr Alan Grant, Powder, Dr Sam Beckett, and Dade Murphy (You may know him as Zero Cool).
the 90's was by far my biggest group, I didn't include some of them here out of a sense of brevity(ha!) and because they start to overlap pretty hard.

That thing was so much fun to come up with. And now it sits in a folder on my computer. Oh well, that's the life of a nerd.

They would be the evil government sponsored version of the League tricking everyone into thinking they were the good guys. Regan would be the evil mastermind behind it all and the book would end with giving Regan dementia to stop him.

One of my ongoing themes is that I preferred the resourceful, scrappy sidekick to the better version of something. Hence Green Hornet and no Kato.
