While theX - Menhave faced off against their fair share of incredibly hefty baddie , from Magneto , to Mr. Sinister , and even the Earth - conquering Apocalypse , one bad guy cable stands out as one of the most powerful among them all , but Marvel wasted this character . This baddie , who establish some of the cracking potentiality for catastrophic side effect upon his first appearance , was completely and perfectly waste by Marvel Comics , both in the exhibition of his exponent and amount of time present in a laughable book .

InX - Men#63 by Scott Lobdell and Carlos Pacheco , the ecstasy - Men have teamed up with Shang - Chi to find the Elixir Vitae which was heavily guard by Shang - Chi ’s father during his life . The ground the ex - Men were after the Elixir – which propose those who use it everlasting life sentence – is because they were act to stop the spread of adeadly mutant - killing disease known as the Legacy Virus . Even though the heroes love where this potentially animation - saving serum is , it was n’t going to be as childlike as plucking it from its secure location , although , disappointingly , it was n’t that hard for them to stop through the initial defenses .

While head to the philosophers' stone ’s location , Shang - Chi and the X - humanity are met by a gang of cyber - ninja who were prepare by Shang - Chi ’s father with the added vantage of having cybernetic upgrade . Those upgrades gave these ninjas superpower , and one of them stood out with an ability that was deucedly hefty , at least in theory . The ninja known as Bludgeon had the power to control gravity which is crazy powerful for a project - away tough guy . While the power to control gravity is divine , Bludgeon uses it to lift a cable car into the breeze . No worry , though , because the railcar was lightly put back down on the ground moments latercourtesy of Jean Grey ’s telekinetic big businessman , so no damage there . Then , Bludgeon was punch in the facial expression by Wolverine , and that was that .

The power to control gravity gives one nearly limitless attacking potential . Bludgeon could have crushed every one of the cristal - Men by altering the gravitative pull around them , or he could have done the exact opposite and have each of them sucked into blank . Not only that , but Bludgeon would not have to limit his potential by being a bare henchman , he could have used his exponent to take over the world . The entire universe revolves around gravity , and if he has double-dyed control over it as he claimed , he could have master that ability and become an factual ecumenical threat .

The only logical conclusion that can be drag is thatthisX - Menvillain   greatly exaggeratedthe extent of his powers . Having double-dyed control over gravity would give him powers on a cosmic scale , but it seems like he ’s basically only able to pick up thing that are really heavy . However , if Bludgeon was being truthful and the X - military personnel were capable to just overhear him off safety before he was really capable to get ramped up , then he would be one of the most powerfulX - Menvillains in Marvel Comics , and he was all wasted .
