RE: Too Powerful To Live
I realize this is a "Villain" trope, but couldn't this said to be the fate of Professor X in the three X-Men movies? In number 1 he's incapacitated, in 2 he's captured and brainwashed, and then he's finally killed in number 3... all because having vast psychic powers would make the plots easily avoidable/solvable in 3 seconds and we wouldn't need the other X-Men at all.
