Title: Best X-Men Team Post by: Jeff on June 25, 2018, 08:01:53 PM Spinning out of my Best Titans thread I started thinking about who would be on my favorite X-Men team?
I have a lot of favorite characters in this group but would love to see it trimmed down to only one official "X-Men" team with two ancillary teams. Uncanny X-Men Charles Xavier Wolverine Jean Grey (Original) Storm Nightcrawler Colossus Kitty Pryde Rogue Gambit Psylocke Havok Dazzler Jubilee (non-vampire) Bishop Armour Kid Omega (Quentin Quire) Chamber Franklin Richards (a teen version - he's never been an X-Man but I'v always thought he'd be great here) X-Factor Multiple Man Layla Miller Strong Guy Wolfsbane Longshot Siryn Monet X-Force Cable Hope Summers Shatterstar Cannonball Husk Warpath Domino X-23 Fantomex I'd put Beast back on the Avengers and Iceman & Archangel together on some new team consisting of non-X-Men. I'd have Cyclops, Rachel Summers, Forge, Marrow, Warlock, and Rictor cameo in all the books for single story arcs but not part of any team. I would also annul the Cyclops/Jean Grey marriage and free these two up for better stories. Emma I would put back in the Hellfire Club and take the Stepford Cuckoos with her. They'd be great villains with the Cuckoo's being conflicted from good to bad. As for Uncanny - I know that's a lot of members on the team but I would treat this similar to the Legion of Super-Heroes rotating characters for small story arcs and only bringing in everyone for a big event - event that is contained within the single title and only using these 17 characters. I might also drop Jubilee down to X-Force or X-Factor - not sure. Would also love to see what Hickman could do with this cast. Did I miss any of your favorites? Anyone I like that you'd ditch? What would your roster look like?

And that team being: Xavier - at base only Cyclops Jean Storm Nightcrawler Wolverine Colossus and then two controversial picks Havok and Fantomex ... Just always liked this guys look.
