X-Men thread

Who are the quintessential X-Men in terms of the team itself, other than Prof. X?

Doesn't have to be a set team or number, I'm aware X-Men are a particularly character-loaded franchise. But don't let it extent on or on.

>>93874965

Professor X, Magneto, Cyclops and Wolverine are the only quintessential ones.

Jean not, because X Men is better when she is dead, and she was dead much of the 80s, and most of this century.

Storm would have been super quintenssential until the 90s, she was the leader of the XMen for much of the 80s, their best period, but she hasnt been written well in decades.

tier 1
Professor X, Cyclops, Wolverine
Tier 2
Storm
Tier 3
Jean, Emma, Beast, Rogue
tier 4 (nice to have around but not a lot of character development)
Psylocke, Colossus, Wolverine, Magik, Nightcrawler

Who thought bringing the O5 to our time was a good idea?

>>93875210
Bendis

>>93875090
Magik is on your list but not Kitty?

>>93875325
Go away Benids nobody likes her.

>>93875325
Bendis if you're reading can you please take her back. I bet she can be a great Defender or Goldballs teacher. She can go back to space if you want. Just take her away from my X-Books.

>>93875325

I forgot about her
>>93875389

I agree with him in that I dont understand why Marvel writers think X Men fans have a craving of seeing her glorified as a Mary Sue leader.

>>93875325
Magik is the superior choice anon.

i'm worried about my x-babies

>>93875817
Don't worry, the inhumans gas will end them very soon.

>>93876277
But her younger self is alive.

>>93876277

I hate young Jean. I liked old Jean, but I think resurrecting her for X Factor was a mistake, doing that basically ruined Rachel Grey.

That doesn't count! I dunno how many times I have to say it!

What was the last good X-book?

I read the storytime of God's Country the other day, as Colossus is my favorite X Man and always has been. Man, that was crap. He didn't have a personality, he was just a mouthpiece for the author's idea of what it's like to be Russian. What a fucking toilet of a book.

>>93876373
>Rachel
Like all time-travel/alt-reality characters, Rachel should not exist beyond her initial story.

Search your heart. You know it to be true.

They need to start confining alt characters to their singular story and let them be done. All keeping them around does is dilute the brand.

I wish they would move away from "humanity hates mutantkind and sentinels ruin everything"

get some new fucking material for fuck's sake, right? Is it just me? and I don't mean more shitty stories about the superhero community infighting for increasingly contrived and arbitrary reasons

Why are the O5 still here and not on their origina timeline? Also:
Why is Jimmy Hudson here now?
Will Emma do something with Young Cyclops?
Will Mr.s Sinister do something to him too?
And why are the O5 such cunts?

They were sucked into the future to be used as an argument by their friend who is among them and turned out to be the craziest, most ineffectual scientist in the MU. They're right to be pricks.

>>93876485
There is a Mrs. Sinister now?!

>>93876544
Has been for a while now. A few years.

>>93876557
Is she hot?

Of course she's hot, you silly goose.

-the last really good one was Spurriers X Men Legacy
-The last really good main back was Uncanny with Gillen (and his consequences of Avengers vs XMEN


Bunn's Magneto was good too, and his Uncanny, which was more like X Force (or a brotherhood of Evil mutants book), was decent.

Secret War had many good to great X Men tie ins (E is for Extinctions, Extinction Agenda, Inferno, Age of Apocalypse, House of M). They were all good or great, except the Days of the Future Past one.

The best Tie In of Secret Wars was also very X Men related. Siege, written by Gillen, with Abigail Brand as main character.

I dont rate because it's pointless in my case. The only X-Men I dislike are Gambit, Iceman (because he has boring for over half a century, not because they made him gay), and Angel for the same reason (but I like Archangel).

Top 5
-Old Cyclops (dont like having him dead)
-Emma Frost (dont like her current character assasination and being a villain, would have prefered it for her to commit heroic suicide in IvX and die a hero)
-Wolfsbane (the last time she was important was in the X Tinction Agenda Secret Wars tie in)
-Karma (she appears in books so rarely and is so underpowered I considered not picking her, but I buy anything in which she makes a cameo)
-Banshee (everybody has forgotten he was resurrected by Apocalypse in 2014)

I tend to prefer the more asshole, morally grey XMen.

>>93877214
Wolfsbane was on the last number of X-Men blue. It was shit.

-Cyclops (Old)
-Storm
-Rogue
-Emma Frost
-Wolfsbane
-Magik
-Cannonball
-Archangel
-Magneto
-Professor X

Favourite writer... Claremont, Louise Simonson and Ellis, I dont know

My current favourite X-Book... Im just enduring them desu , I want Astonishing to be good.

My X-Waifu,,, the cuckoos. The three of them. and their dead sisters, why not?

New X-Men by Grant Morrison.

Anon's Top 5 X-Men:

1) Cyclops: Cyke was Right.

2) Emma Frost: Platinum-Blonde Dominatrix. Hnnnnng.

3) Magneto: Male (JOO) Power Fantasy-The Character.

4) Fantomex: Faux-French Diabolik homage with three brains and three genetic codes. Fantomex was made for anons.

5) Professor X: """Hero""" who does evil shit and gets away with it.

Honorable Mention = Magik: Hot Russian Demon Babe with BIIIIIIG Bewbs.

- No,
we can never have a nice X-Men thread on /co/, but we keep trying to have one.

- Jean Grey,
because the title character knows she's fucked, is trying to avoid the saga-level fucking the Phoenix is about to bring down onto her life, is finding it hopeless, and that's just funny.

- You wouldn't believe me if I told you,
so I'll just say Madelyne Pryor.

- Emma Frost,
but only the version from Morrison's run. And there is a difference.

- I want to say Whedon ...
but Bendis put out more quality stories by volume. Both are worth owning the trade copies of.

Real Talk, if Marvel decided to move the X-Men in another U what would you do? Personally:

>make the X-Gene responsible for slowed aging and increased attractiveness
>explain the historical moments and the fact that they all look like super-models that way
>use the X-Gene and timescale to have the current world be akin to Planet X/Mass Effect
>stop treating WMDs as minority metaphors
>do some Dune stuff with all the alien races
>push transhumanist stories
>keep the Celestial stuff
>introduce the Inhumans as the Kree mutants and as certified antagonists
>write MOOOOOAARR SEX

>>93879924
It's the future X-men in Bendis' Battle of the Atom crossover

That's why Wiccan has a red Cloak style cloak.
Colossus has a beard and Illyana's soulsword.
And Iceman is a wizard.

This is just backstory for how he got the plot macguffin that got him to join the cross-time team of Sorcerers Supreme

>>93876631
So, in trying to look up Magik's partner in Siege, I found that she (Leah) apparently made her way into the main Marvel Universe in the Angela Queen of Hel book, but I haven't read it, and it was written by Bennett, so it is probably being ignored by everyone else.
Would people freak out about Magik being a lesbian? I can't remember her ever showing interest in anyone else.

>>93880539
She showed interest in Doug back in New Mutants. She's probably bi. Well, most X-Women are Bi or just Pan anyway.

>>93874926
>Can we have a nice X-Men and mutants related thread?
No, cause /co/ doesn't read comics.
>What's your favorite X-book right now?
None, cause they all suck.
>Who is your favorite character?
Cyclops, cause he's always RIGHT. And gets prime-time pussy.
>Who is your waifu?
Ugh. Hardest question in these threads. X is full of Sex. Guess I'd say... I'd say Emma Frost, but she's been dicked more times than anyone. Rogue is trailer trash. Psylocke, probably. Adrenaline-Junkie, Eurasian, bitchy, and probably likes to be Dominated.
>And who's your favorite writer?
Claremont/Morrison tie.

Kitty is the Wesley Crusher of X-Men.

>>93880716
Sure, but... she's taken Fish Dick. Although I think it was made canon over at Raftbolts that Namor's dick is not even average size, so...

Damn, Tony really is a player. I don't recognize most of them. Were they AUs and whatnot? I remember some from the older books as one-offs, but most don't even ring a bell. Have we ever had any info about Tony's dick? He probably packs an average one. I mean, he's not a mutant, or a super-soldier or whatever. Then again, he did screw She-Hulk, but Gamora was unfazed, so Shulkie just didn't want to hurt his feelings. He's either a dicklet or average. It would explain why he never had a long-term girlfriend outside of an Asian woman, and why he's obsessed with machines...

As for Wolverine, healing factor + animal nature probably gets him laid, regardless of size. He probably packs a big one though.

>>93880722
Wesley was a lesbian girl?
Holy shit! TNG suddenly makes so much more sense!

I'm actually surprised by Bats.
Logan was always casual sex guy, fits with the animal nature thing.
Spidey was always the dating scene guy between relationships until M.J. put a ring on that.
