Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

just snapped back to reality after spending hours reading up on the marvel and dc universe(note the word UNIVERSE)...
the thing is huge man.
this is connected to that and this has a parallel universe and thisis different in that and...the list goes on....
many people think that prof X is the strongest mutant.
they are SOOOOO so so SO WRONG.
i used to think that he was the strongest when he became onslaught(who btw has a very complcating story in itself).
but he isn't. he's probably at HIS strongest, but not THE strongest.
apparently, mutant-wise, (this is prolly another hugely debatable topic among the junkies, among whom i am not..)it's either psi-lord(a.k.a. franklin richards), hyperstorm(a.k.a. jonathan richards), x-man(a.k.a. nathaniel grey) or phoenix(yes...jean grey).
these are at least the people that i think to be the top contenders.
and interestingly, they all spawn from the same blood-line:
franklin richards is the son of invisble woman and mr fantastic.
nate grey is the artificially produced son of scott summers(a.k.a. cyclops) and jean grey.
jonathan summers is the son of franklin richards and cyclop's and jean's other child, rachel summers...
all too confusing...can get lost in that whole universe...
other interesting characters i read up on were superman, doomsday, darkseid, apocalypse, cable, the justice league and..the list goes on...
