User blog comment:ProfessorKilroy/Why didn't the Illuminati work?/@comment-4647546-20111201173352

I would have to disagree the moment I read about the formation of the Illuminati and heard who the members would be I knew it wouldn't work and even if there was a kind of government that you mentioned was formed it still wouldn't work. It's one of those motions that sounds good and logical on paper but fails to take into account the personalities of those members. For example, Iron man, Tony stark has a huge ego and always believes that he is in the right. As evidenced in the Civil war he believes he is not above commiting horrifying acts such as cloning thor, which can be seen as quite the betrayal and violation of personal being. Mr. Fantastic can be very passive and lawful but tries his best to compromise and please everyone if he can help it. Dr. Strange is the very embodiment of neutrality he'll do his best to help as he is sorceror supreme but time and again he has to remain balanced given his immense power. Namor has stated over and over again he has no concerns for the surface world and only cares for those under the water. He is extremely short-tempered and unstable, closed and not willing to listen once his mind is made up. Black bolt...need I SAY more?. Professor X always tries to do the noble thing but he is similar to Mr. Fantastic in trying to pacifiy everyone.
