[@Sep]It's all in the spirit of the rules. If it helps, think of it as me playing Storm with a dedicated and highly detailed group of NPCs, because that's how I'd be tackling IC posts.

I'd say that in my experience when it comes to the X-Men, one player effectively NPCing the team is the best way to go. Time and time again I've seen a half dozen folks all say "Let's pick up the X-Men and do it as a team!" Only for everyone to abandon it after two or three posts that leave the entire team in an awkward spot.
