     I can't argue with most of these orderings, since many of the 
individuals powers and abilities are so dissimiliar, but I have to
take exception to the relative position of two of the people.  There
is no way that Charles Xavier is more powerful than the Vision.  If
you don't believe me, stand them up against one another.  The minute
Charles tries to Psi blast a machine, he's gonna get his poor, widdle 
head flattened as well as buffed.

     Now that I think about it, the Vision should probably be placed 
ahead of Iron Man also.  Since Iron Mans power is totally derived 
from his armor, he's got a real handicap 'cause we all know what happens
to electronics when someone phases through them (ala Kitty Pride).
This is certainly within the Visions ability to do.  As far as the 
Vision taking lumps from Iron Man, well, you can't hurt what you
can't hit!

           How about Havok? He's at least a match for Cyclops...

Bashful Ben way down at #22???!!!  No way!!

Incidentally, is this raw strength (pressing ability)?  Obviously not.
It's interesting how Doc Strange has managed to squeak in at #2 on more than
one person's list.

                                                      Briefly,

                                                      Charles.
