    Unit
In summary, the conversation discusses the use of units for measuring powers in the X-Men books and in the context of a telekinetic stopping or deflecting a meteor. However, the other person points out that there is no need for such measurements as it is just a movie. The conversation also briefly mentions the energy of a meteor for comparison purposes.

I haven't read any of the X-Men books.. what units do they use for the powers?

For example.. if a telekinetic can stop or deflect a meteor like in Tunguska in 1908.. what unit should be used for comparison purposes.. can Jean Grey also deflect an meteor?

You are taking this stuff way too seriously. There is zero need for any such measurement/unit. It's a movie.

I know... but just want to how many units of energy a meteor packs.. is it in megajoules? For the Tunguska event.. how many units of energy the meteor packs? so to deflect it.. one must introduce the same amount of energy?

"Wanna" is not a word.
 

1. What is the unit of measurement for the powers of the X-men?

The unit of measurement for the powers of the X-men is not clearly defined in the Marvel Universe. However, some common measurements used are energy levels, strength levels, and mutant classifications.

2. How are the powers of the X-men classified?

The powers of the X-men are classified based on their abilities and how they use them. Some common classifications include telepathic, telekinetic, elemental, mutant physical enhancements, and energy projection.

3. Are all X-men mutants?

No, not all X-men are mutants. Some members of the team are born with their powers, while others acquire them through different means such as genetic experimentation or alien technology.

4. Can the powers of the X-men be measured scientifically?

While some aspects of the X-men's powers can be measured, such as energy levels and strength levels, the full extent of their abilities cannot be fully understood or measured by current scientific methods.

5. Do all X-men have the same level of power?

No, not all X-men have the same level of power. Each member of the team has unique abilities and varying levels of control and mastery over them.
