Unclear what the point of this article is, it's certainly not relevant to anyone besides dedicated comic fans, making it WP:FANCRUFT. Not to mention that many or most of these characters still have unrealistic abilities even if they don't have mystical superpowers, like, say, being a cyborg. It seems arbitrary. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 10:11, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep The article does not cite any sources, which makes it a possible WP:OR. However, such lists are found in various places - [1][2][3][4], therefore may qualify under WP:LISTN. It nevertheless still needs to be sourced and tidied up. Hzh (talk) 14:51, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The article is unsourceable WP:FANCRUFT and WP:OR. The inclusion criteria are not actually unclear, but the article attracts editors unwilling or unable to follow them and is an endless maintenance nightmare. —chaos5023 (talk) 19:49, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
