How many times have they fallen for Mystique posing as Mystique and "This time I surely won't stab you in the back, face and your little pinky toes too"?
The best part about the X-Men always falling for Mystique is that you can't swing a dead cat on Krakoa without hitting an Omega-level telepath, but her vaguely defined "resistance (not immunity) to telepathy" protects her.
Superman can find someone in a city of millions by listening for their specific heartbeat until the story requires that he... not... do that. If comics made sense, nobody would ever fall for a Skrull ever again, and the Joker would never get out of jail.
But here we are: slaves to the storyline. Reed Richards is only useless until you realize that him actually changing the world with his delicious brains would... you know: change the world, and nobody really wants that.
