Bobby Jain & Talking About Superheroes

By Robbie Sutter


What are some of the aspects that can work into the efforts conducted by Bobby Jain? I believe that there are many but I'd like to focus more so on the idea of intelligence for the moment. It's something that I thought about recently with superheroes, especially given the fact that various powers - super strength, the ability to fly, and what have you - are given much more attention. Perhaps the presence of mind can help a select few superheroes in this line of work.

In fact, one of the best names that I can consider for the work of Bobby Jainwould have to be Tony Stark. The one who is better known on a universal scale as Iron Man has showcased a tremendous wealth of intelligence, which goes without saying considering that the first Iron Man suit was constructed by him with only raw materials. In addition, his personality, while somewhat sarcastic, has a sense of charm that can be picked up on. Perhaps Stark can work well alongside names the likes of Jain.

One can make the argument that the Hulk is one of the most deceiving intelligent superheroes but I feel like Hank McCoy edges out just a bit more. The one known as Beast from X-Men does not have a human body to hide behind and instead showcases a wealth of knowledge in spite of his appearance of blue fur. He is not only skilled in the way of mutation but understands much about the way of human biology, especially given the special powers of the X-Men. Such knowledge shouldn't be overlooked.

Speaking of X-Men, I feel as though the utmost attention should be brought to the man who started it all: Charles Xavier. This particular character is known for his superior intellect, especially given the idea that he has Ph.D.'s in various fields, amongst them being genetics and psychology. As a graduate of Harvard, he holds a total of 16 honors, which speaks volumes about his mindset. There may not be a single character is more learned than Xavier, seeing as how such accomplishments are difficult to trump.

I believe that there are many characters to consider in the realm of comic books. To me, this goes to show that the Marvel brand is not the only one to consider and that there are others which possess superheroes that can be considered super smart as well. The ability to utilize cognition in order to take on any threat is, in my opinion, far more interesting than anything that involved brute, physical force. I'd like to see more comic book characters solve various issues with the presence of mind alone.
