Frank Castle trying to go back in time to abduct and raise baby Thanos so he won't turn into the monster we know him as.

Yeah, but they didn't choose to weld dogs. It was a curse, laid on the first Dogwelder as a punishment by the formerly human-headed god of the underworld Anubis.

The bar exam is a test of minimal competence anyway. You have to get basically a 60%, and it's on a curve. Time travel powers undoubtedly help, and he could just use his robot eye to take a picture of the test and then time travel back and look up the exact answers and memorize those, but it's not quite as strict as it could be.

It's still a bastard of a test though.

Maybe the American Bar is.
My first set of exams were five exams over five days. 60% to pass, broken into one question worth 50% (so of you couldn't answer the question 1 on each paper, you couldn't pass. ) and two questions out of four worth the other 50%.

That was tough.

The second set of exams were at the end of the year. 14 exams spread out over three months, a mixture of exam questions, essays and practical tests (mock advocacy or mock examing witnesses.)
That was more an endurance test them anything else.

But having a time machine, pschyic powers or a techno-organic body would have definitely been a big aid.

Wait, Cable has a robot eye? I thought it glowing was just a byproduct of his dad being Cyclops.

And here I thought it was his barely contained psychic powers. Knew parts of him robotic, but not the eye as well.

Wait does that mean parts of his brain are actually little hard drives as well?

Possibly? There was interplay. At times he did seem to have a sort of mental control over using his metal bits to hack machinery.
