Again, the Wasp and Jen Walters are very smart, but more realistically smart rather than invent a new world smart.. Ah, and Forge! If you want that storyline, Warren Ellis wrote it in Astonishing when Forge invented "Ghost Boxes," doors to other universes. It did not go well.

As for powerful power, we all know that Sue Storm is a beast IF she used her power, but like Iceman, does she ever really unleash? Rachel Grey and Morgan Le Fay are pretty much always written as above-average power, whereas Storm regularly gets downsized to "nurturing mum." Seriously, Marvel, where are the strong women at?

On a very related note, how does everyone feel about the rumoured Doctor Strange line up? Very excited for Nico Minoru and Mordo, but hopefully the Astral Strange and Brother Voodoo won't be the exact ones from the SDCC set.

Dr. Strange Line up? Where, where? the characters you mention alone would be awesome, I'd love to see/hear more about this!

Also that's an interesting conversation regarding female powerhouses. if I may throw my hat into that ring, I think the most powerful females are going to be more energy or magic based users. Storm, Phoenix (both Jean and Rachel) Moonstone and Captain Marvel (both Carol and Monica) as far as energy based, Magik, Scarlet Witch, Selene, Madelyne Pryor and Morgan Le Fay as far as magical are to me not only the most powerful women in Marvel but potentially the most powerful characters period, with throwing a handful of males like Thor, Loki, Dr. Doom, Dr. Strange, Mangneto, Wonder Man and X-Man in there. That's not taking into account any Lord of Hell which is a whole different direction. And if you're talking the most overall powerful marvel character, we really need to look at the characters who were able to create entirely new realities (without Time Travel or revealed to just be psychic manipulation ) and that would Morgan Le Fay and Scarlet Witch. To me, that pretty much tops any other ability, be it psychic or physical.
