Line 135:
* There was this one Marvel webcomic focusing on a documentary exploring whether or not Galactus was a myth. There were commercials advertising products only available in the Marvel Universe. This troper never read the comic book, only read about it. If anyone knows the name of the story, please share it.
* One arc of [[Power Pack]] has the Power's mom in the hospital, barely clinging to life, after being injured by a super-villain shoving her aside with super strength. When Katie decides to be [[Lonely Together]] with the various heroes the group has met and she invites [[Cloak and Dagger (comics)|Cloak and Dagger]] as well as some Morlocks to Thanksgiving dinner with them. Dagger's healing abilities and the Morlocks knowing fellow Morlock [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Healer]] are never mentioned. Used literally when Reed Richard's son is working with Power Pack and his parents are either out of town/off planet or subjected to [[Adults Are Useless]].
* Then we have [[X-Men/Characters/80s Members|Rogue]]. The poor girl was [[Blessed With Suck]] due to [[Power Incontinence]] for most of her career, being unable to touch another person without her power stealing their powers and memories, and while this is ''usually'' a temporary setback for the victim, using it on Ms. Marvel caused a permanent transfer, the stolen memories (which she often could not distiguish from her own) bringing her to the brink of madness. She has never found out exactly why that happened, and her greatest fear is the possibility that it might happen again. Yet despite the fact that every [[Evil Genius]] in Marvel seems capable of building a [[Slave Collar]] that nullifies mutant powers, nobody on the heroes' side (not Xavier, Reed, or Stark) seems able to duplicate such a device for someone like Rogue who ''wants'' a way to turn her powers off.
* Downplayed with Kitty Pryde, another mutant who has had [[Power Incontinence]] problems from time to time. In the most extreme case where she was stuck in an intangible state and could not become solid again, Reed made an honest attempt before admitting he had no idea how to help her. Then [[Doctor Doom]] showed up and claimed ''he'' had the solution - and he did, [[Villainous Crush|all he wanted in return was one date with Storm.]]
