We asked AI who the strongest X-Men is (and its answer is spot on)
By Cody Schultz
X-Men fans have long debated who the strongest X-Men is, so we decided to have AI finally solve the debate once and for all.
Ever since their introduction in 1963, the X-Men have been among the most popular characters in Marvel Comics history. The group is made up of mutants, humans born with extraordinary abilities that set them apart from normal humans. The team has been a staple of comic books, movies, and television shows, captivating audiences around the world with their extraordinary abilities.
These abilities have been the subject of much debate and speculation among fans over the years, creating discussions over who the strongest X-Men character is, with many contenders vying for the title.
Wolverine’s adamantium claws, healing factor, and enhanced senses make him a formidable opponent, while Storm’s control over the elements and psychic abilities make her a force to be reckoned with. Then there’s Jean Grey who possesses vast telekinetic and telepathic powers that make her one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe.
The X-Men have faced many challenges and enemies over the years, and their strength has been tested time and again. From battling the likes of Magneto and Apocalypse to facing off against alien invasions and interdimensional threats, the X-Men have proven to be some of the most powerful and resilient heroes in the Marvel universe.
Who is the strongest X-Men? (According to AI)
When it comes to the X-Men, there are arguments for why several members of the team should be considered the strongest X-Men. Every comic book fan has their own personal thoughts on who the strongest X-Men is, but when the chips are on the table who exactly is the strongest of the bunch? Well, if you were to ask AI — which we did — the answer is an original member of the X-Men’s first class.
When posed with the task of naming the strongest X-Men, ChatGPT’s AI did not have any issue at all with identifying Jean Grey to be the strongest of the X-Men characters:
"If I had to pick just one as the strongest, I’d have to go with Jean Grey. As the host of the Phoenix Force, she has access to some seriously incredible cosmic power. She can manipulate matter on a molecular level, create and manipulate energy, and even resurrect herself from death. Plus, she’s a skilled telepath and telekinetic, which only adds to her already impressive abilities.Of course, there are plenty of other X-Men who could give her a run for her money in terms of strength. Wolverine’s healing factor and adamantium claws make him nearly indestructible, while Storm’s control over the elements gives her immense power. And let’s not forget about Professor X and his immense telepathic abilities, or Magneto and his control over metal.But for my money, Jean Grey as the Phoenix is the strongest X-Man of them all. Excelsior!"
While there are a lot of powerful X-Men characters, there’s really no denying Jean’s strength or her status as the strongest member of the franchise. Across the decades, Jean has shown time and time again just how strong and capable she is regardless of whether she’s standing on her own or tapping into the Phoenix Force.
Of course, the best example of her power does come in the Dark Phoenix Saga in which she becomes corrupted by the power of the Phoenix Force and transforms into the all-powerful Dark Phoenix. In this form, she destroys an entire planet, battles the X-Men and Shi’ar Imperial Guard, and ultimately sacrifices herself to save the universe.
Taking the Phoenix Force out of the equation, you’re still left with a character whose powers know few limits. Her telepathic prowess is unmatched, and she’s used her gifts to stop countless attacks and enemies over the years.
If you’re set to do battle and only can have one character in your corner, there’s truly no X-Men character you’d rather have than Jean Grey.
