Some of the coolest action scenes in the history of movies have been in the X-Men series. Well, that's my opinion, but I stand by it. The thing I like about this series is that everyone has a different power. They don't choose the mutant powers that they get, but they make the most of what they have. How cool would life be if we all had our own individual mutant powers?
Maybe we can look at it on a smaller scale. Matthew 25:15 reads "And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability..." We may not have mutant powers, but we definitely have different talents and abilities. Just like the X-Men, we can't choose our talents, but we can make the best of them. Too often we look at other peoples talents and wish we had theirs. We shouldn't compare our weaknesses to other's strengths. We don't see Wolverine complaining because he can't shoot lasers from his eyes, or Ice Man whining because he can't run through walls. They take what their given and make the most of it.
This is what we have to do. A talent not used is a talent that is wasted. We are given many talents and abilities. It's our job to exercise them for good. We can be like the X-Men and use our powers for the benefit of others. Always remember that no good act, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
