She's not in the X-Men but hip-hop MC Jean Grae does have a super power: fresh-to-death rhymes. Despite frequent insistence that she's ready to hang up the cape, Grae keeps flying in to save the day with stunning solo material and collaborations (with Talib Kweli, The Roots, etc.). Not sure when the new album, Cake or Death, will arrive, but it will be just in time.
