Target, MasterCard, power tools, and everything else. I knew a lot of these companies were in bed with each other, but it's a disturbing thought to consider Target as part of the MCU canon.

I always liked Forge, because I thought his ability was more clever and unique compared to the others. He has the ability to put together any technological device he can imagine, even if he doesn't precisely understand the science of it. He can visually intuit how mechanical energy works. He was sometimes used as an explanation for why the X-Men have stuff like lightweight body armor and advanced gadgets, or as a plot device to create some gizmo to save the day. I thought it was cool how they'd use clever scientific ways to solve dangerous situations if brute force didn't seem to work. I also used to think he was a positive portrayal of a native American, but now I'd probably feel differently. He was portrayed as also possessing magic powers and talking to ancestral spirits, or he was good at tracking animals, stuff like that. Stereotypes of how Native people are portrayed in cowboy movies. Runners up are Kitty Pryde and Nightcrawler. They're also cool.
Gert and Old Lace aren't X-men but they're my favorite Marvel characters ever, forever
Characters where they actually try explaining how they're smart are really cool to me. Like having the mutant power to reverse engineer an invention in your mind. Forge is so much cooler than say Reed Richards because the only way his power made him smart was using his elasticity to pump more blood to his brain.
