In Civil War, he was the MvP of the mission to stop Crossbones
No he was supposed to be Kid Omega
Then they must have decided that having another Telepath/Telekinetic in the movie was stupid and kept his name but changed him to Quill.
But in reality, like all of Fox-Men movies he was just a pointless cameo so fans could point at the screen and say "I know who that's supposed to be"
That was Avengers vs Avengers tho. So Avengers lose either way.
I was laughing as I watched JL:SC as Batman was rolling around in what was basically just a light tank slaughtering Parademons by the dozen, while Aquaman was spending all his time fighting two or three at a time.
They'd have been better off bringing an airborne division with them.
god I remember Martian Manhunter being the biggest jobber in that series
Nah, it's just the TAS Jean was written as a damsel in distress who could be saved by either Cyclops or Wolverine. She's always screaming, always says "I can't hold it any longer" or "it's too much" and faints constantly; there's even a couple of scenes in the montage above where Jean collapses for no reason.
Compare that to X-Men: Evolution Jean who's badass.

Yeah he always got damaged in a psychic way
Flash Jobbed a lot too
Lmao oh nooo. I just have blocked this from my mind. Dude always got his ass kicked. Literally always.
He was afflicted with Second Superman status. Superman jobbed, so J'onn had to job twofold.
TAS is a rough time for a lot of characters.
Like Wolverine talks some mad shit, but he's a guy with knives strapped to his hands in a TV-PG Saturday morning show. He literally can't lay a hand on people due to censorship! I'm pretty sure his only W is sucker-punching Scott.
I feel like there's a lot of useless Rangers in the Power Rangers series, most of them being the Yellow or the Green Rangers who aren't 6th Rangers. For example, Damon from Lost Galaxy, Trip from Time Force, Chip from Mystic Force, Emily from Samurai, and Calvin from Ninja Steel. IIRC, none of them had more than one or two episodes dedicated to them, and they weren't given too many lines per episode, apart from lines like "We got this!" or "Yeah!".
He hasn't totally fucked everything up, yet. Low bar.
Although he did nearly fuck it all up when he left Norman behind. God why am I still reading this run.
I just have Spidey-Stockholm Syndrome.
I'm being mean to it, for a lot the run, I've enjoyed it. But the constant treading water is grating on me. Kindred is fine but not interesting enough to drag along for so long. At least Boomerang is back (never thought I'd say that)
Add to that they didn't want kids to imitate him so he'd get hurt and then spend an episode hurt with his ribs taped up despite the healing factor thing.
TAS was honestly a horrible show.
This twit constantly popping his little quills up throughout the movie gets funnier and funnier. He's next to people that control the weather or lift the Golden Gate bridge.
This guy in X-Men 3 whose only attack is to hug his enemies.
Wolverine's healing factor was originally a lot weaker. He pretty regularly would have to spend a night resting off injuries from hits that would one-shot an elephant, instead of just walking through getting all his flesh melted off his bones like he does now. His healing factor got supercharged when Magneto ripped the adamantium off his bones in 1993's Fatal Attractions crossover, and it never got reset when Apocalypse gave him back his adamantium in 1999.
He secretly saves everyone in that episode though. Xander is the unsung hero of the team. Spoiler for season 6:
He single handedly saves the whole world by talking Willow down.
yeah, i think it's this. he's really just this obnoxious imparter-of-wisdom. just rewatched the whole series and was confused by the way people always deferred to his opinion
& i see another post about season six, that's not him, that's the power of friendship
I am a actually aware of that. I've been reading comics since the 80s. But even by his original healing standards he is laid up a lot in TAS.
