And here we have someone who missed the 90s entirely! :D(joking honestly, no harm meant, but sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet so I can't tell if your joking or not. The concept of showing how the strongest heroes can go through hell and back and still be fight with just some scars is a trope in edgy storytelling since the dawn of time, although in the 90s it was particularly popular with every new comic and franchise during the time having to be "hardcore!!".)
