X-Men deserves credit, yeah, its foundation is so much less cringe than most superheroes. Its drama comes from people and how they interact with the world, rather than constantly edging with that dreadful "oohoohoo but if PowerMan was just a little less selfless he could really fuck you peons up, and he'd be right to do it because you worms hurt his feelings as a kid" shit. At least X-Men is about adults protecting and fostering a community of outcasts at its core.
