However, he was also noticeably anxious and seemed deeply troubled. Faraday’s arrival marked a turning point for the show, becoming the key figure through which its increasingly complex science fiction elements were explored.

The biggest disasters rarely come from external threats like aliens or supervillains. More often, it’s the heroes themselves who cause the most trouble – the Avengers fumble world-saving missions like they’re just hanging out, the X-Men mess with time when feelings get hurt, and any genius is likely to accidentally create problems across multiple universes before the day is through.
