Aside from Rogue (who was a failure)
Rogue was a failure? I haven't read X-Men in a long time. How did she fail?
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

I have a plan.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Would Supes choose to be here if Krypton was whole? Would he be saving people there?
Sort of impossible to say. If Krypton never exploded, Supes wouldn't have been sent to Earth at all, probably wouldn't know it even existed, and wouldn't have been raised to be a hero by the Kents.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She never learnt to control her powers at all, despite it being her reason for hanging at the mansion.

Let me think of aliens -- they are typically the last of their race, right (Martian Manhunter, et al)? Or very stranded (Warlock)? I'm blanking on other categories ...

Oh, I thought she went back to being one of the bad guys again. I do remember that she originally went to the mansion because she thought it was the only place she could learn to live with what her powers were doing to her.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
So where do you guys put Huntress on the scale? I'm quite curious.

Failure as a student, you mean?

Martian Manhunter is the last of his race, yes.
Hawkman and Hawkwoman are...ex-patriots? Who knows anymore?
Starfire is, I guess, a Tamaranian princess escaping slavery. Or was before she left.
Hm. What other alien superheroes are there? I'm sure Marvel has tons (Captain Mar-vell, for instance), but I'm not a big Marvel guy.

Yes, which weakens the premise that it's a school (or an effective one) -- what with the not teaching and stuff, except for the kidlets.
Koriand'r kept going home, but then there was the insane sister. Not sure if she's just fleeing a failed relationship at this point.

Vigilante. Like Punisher.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Because one student never learned to control her powers?
I think one has to look at how the individual characters are portrayed these days, as oppsoed to, say, in the Sixties or Forties, because the attitude has shifted a lot. The X-Men, particularly, have been re-interpreted.
