Wolverine also has cool powers. He's just better at stuff like smelling, and he heals from injury and he's got unbreakable bones. It's somehow more satisfying to imagine yourself being like that than, say, being able to make it rain in Africa.

Look at this guy who doesn't bless the rains down in Africa.

There's no universe in which I'd rather have Wolverine's powers than Storm's, though. Not even a question

Plus, Storm doesn't whip up weather magically like Thor does. If she creates rain somewhere to water crops in one place, there's a drought somewhere else. So you're not going to be able to cure world hunger if that's your endgame.

So she doesn't conjure up clouds, lightning and wind from thin air? She literally cannot create thin air from thin air? I mean, OK, sure, nature abhors a vacuum and all that. But really, the weather is such a delicately balanced system that she cannot take control of the area immediately around her without affecting the entire globe as a whole? I guess the writers are taking conservation of mass and energy a bit more stringently than most people who write comics would.

By that token, Quicksilver doesn't actually move quickly, he simply steals speed from everything else around him. Wolverine doesn't have a healing factor, he simply generates a field of negative entropy restricted to his own body.

She does conjure them up magically, but in attempt to perhaps tone her down a little or add pathos writers tried to explain that she can't go too overboard because disrupting the weather locally disrupts the weather globally because all weather systems are interdependent.

That sounds like a lame-rear end way to excuse her being an X-man instead of doing nothing but ending droughts 24/7.

The womb strangling was only one of multiple different endings to that film - some markets received it in theatres, but most only saw it if they got the dvd with the theatrical release being the ending where the aliens hand out boob necklaces.

But I maintain that it's one of the best technically written scripts out there. It all wraps up so wonderfully.

I conned my grandpa into renting Wayne's World when I was 8 or so, and very clearly remember the surly, take-no-poo poo WW2 marine making it about 15 minutes in before declaring "to hell with this poo poo", turning it off, and sending me to bed. Good times.

My grandpa made me turn off the David Hasselhoff Nick Fury movie 3 minutes in when I was a kid, because it was "stupid crap" and he wanted to watch wrestling. I was so mad. It was only years later that I learned the movie was a piece of poo poo anyway.
