Duality in X-application

For the leader, it would be interesting to have a man who was seemingly the weakest of all, am in a wheelchair or with an aiding device.


But that man, Professor Charles Xavier, would have incredible mental powers and would be able to mould the others into a formidable fighting team.


For sheer strength, he created the Beast, but once again, to go against the usual cliche, he made him the most literate and eloquent of all in the team. Then, having always like the Fantastic Four's Human Touch, he thought it would be fun for the new group to include the exact opposite, Iceman. Add the winged, flying Angel, the telekinetically Marvel Girl, and the somewhat tragic Cyclops, who always had to wear the special goggles to shield his deadly eye beams, and you the the original X-Men - a far cry from the countless new and fantastic members that have been constantly added ot the world's most colourful cast of characters ever since those early days.
