X-Men type setting

Remembering that bit in X-Men '97 where a justifiably pissed Rogue flew around destroying US military bases in revenge for spoiler stuff. Ofc Captain Amerikkka shows up and condescends to her about this going too far and how he's trying to "solve the problem through the proper channels". She then throws his shield over a fuckin mountain

I like it when the X-Men are allowed to be a force for change, and show that the status quo defenders are allowing atrocities to continue while they try to solve things at their preferred pace.

Edit*

I also happen to be playing a Pathfinder 2e campaign as a one piece style pirate crew fighting the world gov & capital. Much more fun than being a reactive force.

That was a good scene. X-Men '97 rules.

So I need to watch X-Men '97 for ideas on how to run an actually-fulfilling Mutants and Masterminds table

Honestly, I want a table of a bunch of little plotting would-be Magnetos and Dooms. Give me a reason to make Justice League and Avengers expies for you to beat the unholy settler ichor out of.

non specific 97 spoiler-ish

'97 included this completely correct statement, and I'm happy to say that they don't even pull a Killmonger swerve with Magneto - he gets some justice with only a little "you've gone too far Erik!" by the end. Him, Storm, & Rogue are the big heroes this time around
