Designer's Notes
These were again designed to fit around 500 and represent the more original versions of many of them.

Banshee is a former undercover agent with lots of various sonic derived powers, most of which are pretty powerful. Banshee is somewhat fragile but packed with utility.

Colossus is a good brick at 500 points. Poitr strikes for 8d+3 cr and absorbs damage pretty well. His default form is human, and I believe he reverts to sleep.

When thinking out Nightcrawler, I realized he's just a speedster in disguise. His ATR allows him to 'port in, attack using his normal maneuver, than 'port out. He can potentially grapple and 'port with someone else as well provided they are less than 96 lbs (med enc). I'd consider increasing either his ST or Med -> Hvy to make him more powerful. Against normals he'll probably be using swords, wielding up to 3 swords at a time.

Storm is a big concept for 500 points. Weather control is powerful, and I had to limit what she can do to fit it in.

Wolverine is a "huge history" character with a lot of niche abilities for the places he's been. His powers are fairly simple, but his history has history. Instead I focused on his abilities skipping the fact that he probably knows a dozen languages, has obscure skills, and turns up in every third comic.
