They are the greatest heroes ever to walk the Earth, but everyone has an off day once in a while. From wardrobe malfunctions to beating up the wrong guy, comics have shown us many instances where great power doesn't necessarily equal great judgment.
What are some of your favorites? I'll start us off:

Professor X having the hots for a barely-legal Jean Grey  He probably believes her telekinesis can help make him into a stud muffin |

The Hulk's talent for clever disguises needs to be a permanent character trait. Who will he be next? A construction worker? A mime? A senate sub-comity member?

I seem to have stumbled onto a thread about my favourite comic moments. I love them all!* The Hulk, relaxed at a party? The Hulk as a clown? Ben dancing? It's all gold.* For me, the most embarrassing moment was when Sue Storm became a sex object. She used to be the only Marvel heroine who didn't need to flash the flesh. But come the 1990s she decided that she needed a boob window and had to practice her porn star poses.  And yes, I love the other moments, even the Prof X and Marvel Girl one. The key is that Jean Grey was born in 1956, so she was only seven years old when the X-men founded, yet she looks and acts at least ten years older.  The most likely explanation is the accident that almost killed her and led to her powers manifesting: she was saved by prof X entering her mind. Years of reading Dr Strange and Claremont X-Men tells me that there was a good chance that she was in limbo or some similar dimension at this point. It looks like the spent at least ten years there, possibly more. I wonder if she was actually in her 20s when prof X revealed his feelings? If he had protected her for years and seen her grow up into a mature adult then his comments were appropriate: she was old enough for him to love, but he knew he could not abuse his position. I love these little details that point to hidden depths. |

The Marvel Time sliding time scale was already in place by 1980. So it had probably been about eight years Marvel Time since the events of X-Men #1 in 1980.

That would be Tom Wolfe, the writer of the original essay,"Radical Chic."
