Don't you sometimes feel like comic characters should just sit down and do something other than drama around?
I mean, does any of those mfs have a life outside of doing weird superhero shit? Do they sit on the couch and watch movies or play games, or go on holidays? Or are they constantly planning the next big laser turd they're gonna take, the next organization they're gonna create with a plan for something, or training or fighting other no life skintight mentally derranged people?
In a way, games like this give a fucking life to the characters.
I remember one of the few issues of X-Men I had growing up was pretty much just that. Archangel and beast were fixing up an old car or something, reminiscing about the past. Rogue was working through her loneliness about not being able to touch people and Gambit was trying to be there for her.
Would it be better if they had more of that? Absolutely. But I feel like, even as a kid, (which is why I wasn't really into Marvel comics as a kid) Marvel storylines seems to be less storyline and inserted drama for drama's sake. Things happen out of no where and are forgotten about when inconvenient, people not acting like themselves so something big can happen, etc. Kinda like a soup opera or that show "Lost" (dead people coming back to life. Evil twins. etc.). But I also feel like, it's the constant drama that kept a lot of people reading.
All that is to say I doubt Marvel will ever do a line of comic where X-Men just do ordinary stuff or have a story line where it's just like, one of the X-Men's weekly session with their therapist or something. But, at the same time, I think that's an appeal this game has that comics doesn't. Their powers are there, but the power doesn't define the person's entire personality. We like the characters for who they are, not because it's cool that they can shoot laser beams or whatever.
With that said. I can totally see Jean using the gay beam on other characters to keep them from being interested in Null.
Professor X: Huh, there seems to be a lot of new lesbian couples lately...
Jean: *Sweats profusely*
