Ah, the Reed Richards problem. The meta behind it is obvious, since shifting the paradigm too far can rid you of any conflict familiar to the medium and would require entirely different sorts of conflict beyond anything we might be familiar with. The in-story explanations tend to be lacking, leading to frustratingly frustrated fans, and sometime short-sighted lampshades hung with little follow-through.
It's something that would be interesting to explore in a self-contained series, but for a long-running shared universe I only see it getting out of control before too long.
