Yes, Emma could walk into Inhuman central tomorrow and murder everyone in her way with a telepathically induced brain aneurism...
She's always been able to do that, from her first issue, she just isn't a bloodthirsty monster enough to do it.
Iceman can flash-freeze every enemy to death instantaneously.
Cyclops is-er...was always afraid of his own ability to kill and destroy literally anything he looks at.
Wolverine is the freakin' terminator, complete with indestructible metal skeleton, berserker murderous rage and claws are the least of it.
Gambit makes things explode by touching them.
Rogue is death by touch too.
Storm is bad weather, really dangerous in the large scale, she could wipe out entire cities if she tried, but she's sucky and useless on the small-scale, like when she's indoors -which she always is.
SuperHEROES never make use of the instant kill part of their powers, they seem weaker because of that but it's just because they're holding back.
