Line 57:
**** The entire plot arc of X-MEN VS. FANTASTIC FOUR was based on the fact that the X-Men ''are'' willing to deal with Doctor Doom for help with mutant power crises, if no other solution is available.
*** Additionally, one of the X-Men's recurring allies -- Forge -- has invented a device that is capable of ''permanently'' neutralizing a mutant's powers. Which means he has already made the basic theoretical leap re: neutralizing mutant powers. At this point, building a version of the device that only acts temporarily, or is conveniently portable and easily reversible, is only a matter of application. So somebody get Forge and Hank McCoy into the lab already. Or ask Reed Richards or Tony Stark for a consult.
* Another X-Men example, the villain Arcade. He himself admits (to his assistant Ms. Locke in the graphic novel ''[[Wolverine/Nick Fury: The Scorpio Connection]]'') that he might be better off leaving the X-Men alone:
{{quote|'''Arcade:''' Hey, call me stubborn, call me obsessive, but no matter how many commissions I’m offered, I just can’t resist another try at killing them!}}
:* And to drive the point home, the (visibly angry) mutant heroes crash into his control room two panels later.
* Played for laughs with another X-Men villain, the already [[Laughably Evil]] Mojo. One story starts with him crushingly bored because there is nothing good on television ever since he stopped broadcasting Longshot’s rebellion. (Nobody’s fault but his own, seeing as he holds a monopoly on television in his home dimension.) Of course, simply turning the TV off, as his assistant Major Domo suggests, is out of the question
