Comics Can we shake up the X-Men rosters a bit please!

[Jennifer Walters]

Seriously, things are starting to get boring teamswise and I know I'm not the only one that thinks this.

Uncanny's cast is too big, they bring in new people non-stop and barely use them (Dazzler and Northstar are perfect examples, probably Psylocke too.). They use mainly Scott, Emma, and Hank. Everyone else is regulated to cameo appearances. I'd make this Scott and Emma's book and be about their team.

Astonishing is just off in it's on universe and there needs something to bring it back into the main one. Let's make this a book lead by Storm or Beast.

X-Men Legacy is too solo character focused and needs to become a team book again. This book could be lead by either Xavier or Rogue, since they've hogged the title anyways and it'd be better to see them lead other into battle than just see them on their own. I'd prefer it to be Xavier though.

X-Factor is fine the way it is. We've just had team shakeups on it not too long ago. And just recently gained 3 new members (Longshot, Darwin, and Shatterstar.)

X-Force is fine the way it is, even if I don't read it. The only ones I'd say feel awkward being there are Angel, Elixir, and Wolfsbane.

New Mutants is just starting so it's fine the way it is as well.

How would you fix the rosters problem we have going on right now?

 

[UraniaChang]

As long as they don't bring in Storm, and always remember to give me at least one Summers man (not woman, thank you) and I'll be a very happy girl.

 

[Havok83]

If I could fix the current rosters, based on who's alive and available, I would have it like this

Uncanny
Cyclops, Emma, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Firestar, Colossus

X-treme (cancel Astonishing in favor of relaunching this)
Beast, Angel, Psylocke, Dazzler, Cecilia Reyes, Iceman, Storm

Legacy
Xavier, Havok, Polaris, Rogue, Magneto, Hellion

New Mutants
Cannonball, Moonstar, Karma, Wolfsbane, Magik, Sunspot, Magma, Empath

X-Force
Wolverine, X-23, Elixir, Warpath, Domino, Cable, Gambit

Uncanny
Cyclops, Emma, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Husk, Colossus

X-treme (cancel Astonishing in favor of relaunching this)
Beast, Angel, Psylocke, Dazzler, Cecilia Reyes, Iceman, Storm

Legacy
Xavier, Havok, Polaris, Rogue, Magneto, Hellion

New Mutants
Cannonball, Moonstar, Karma, Wolfsbane, Magik, Sunspot, Magma, Empath

X-Force
Wolverine, X-23, Elixir, Warpath, Domino, Cable

Those are great.

What about X-Factor?

I'd love to get Northstar and Firestar in there somehow. It's about time she joined the X-Men.

Legacy and X-Force have Summers man but also have Rogue and Domino...T_T

And Husk? HUSK?

 

[Havok83]

I dont read X-factor so Im not gonna mess with that one. Since most fans who do read it seem to love it just fine, I'll leave that one as it is. Firestar would best fit in over in New Mutants but thats a bit crowded. She would work in my Uncanny lineup. I could bump Husk and swap Firestar in as her history with Emma would be much more interesting to watch play out

Legacy and X-Force have Summers man but also have Rogue and Domino...T_T

And Husk? HUSK?

Uncanny is the only one that disappointed me here. I couldnt think of who to put on there. It was pretty much characters that were left over. I only stuck Husk there bc I couldnt think of any other females to put here. Her interactions with Emma given their past relationship should at least be interesting

Im not a Domino fan but Yost and Kyle make her work in X-force as Im not minding her as much as I thought I would. Rogue's not so bad as long as she's not overshadowing the cast and taking over the book. This Legacy lineup has potential to be my favorite. I would have loved to have put in Quicksilver over Hellion, but he's locked in with the Avengers at the moment

 

[UraniaChang]

I would want to have Armor...I've found that I'm quite taken with her lately.

 

[Havok83]

Now that I think about it, Gambit would make a good fit over in X-force

 

[Noona]

I would love to see Quicksilver in the x-books ,he has small cameos on Mighty Avengers and thats all .. He's an awesome charater when written corretly.

Quicksilver like Firestar has seen the outside Marvel universe and I do not want him on the X-Men because of this, not to say that the X-Men are bad or anything, but once you've been an Avenger, like he and Firestar have, it does kinda feel like making a downgrade.

I feel that way about a mutant like Scarlet Witch, but not Quicksilver bc he feels like a secondary X character based on his time in X-factor and the fact that he gets used in the X-line from time to time

 

[katie_girl09]

Don't reall have anything specific, but just as long as there is less focus on Scott and Emma and more even focus on other characters, I'm happy.

And a little more attention paid to Gambit (he is a very popular X-man, after all) wouldn't kill me either...

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I think Gambit should join X-Force, that way I won't have to be bothered to read him, since I don't read X-Force.

And Gambit on a book I don't read is a gift indeedy.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

F'in double posts.

How would you fix the rosters problem we have going on right now?

part of the problem is that we went from having a TON of different lines to a handful. With the recent additions of X-Force, and New Mutants, it's starting to pick back up.

I think that they should do what they did with the Avengers, and make several teams of about 8-10 each that are all kind of doing there own thing.

I like the Dark X-Men team as it is. I don't see why they can't keep that team under maybe a different title, and their main focus is to 'Police' Mutant activity?

Bring Cable and Havok back and start up a couple of other teams

Cable's team for example could be a sort of...I don't know...a search and rescue squad that can retrieve mutants that have been captured or whatever.
Cable
Pixie
Psylocke
Cameleon
Quicksilver
Colossus

Havoks team could be an international Mutant Squad that works directly for the government.
Havok
Polaris
Nightcrawler
Sunspot
Captain Britain

While Cyclops and the rest could handle the BIG problems.

Then they could still come together if needed but it would be a bit more spread out and our beloved characters could see some real action.

In a nut shell: Split up the teams and give them different goals that would help ensure the survival of the mutant race.

Which Government?

 

[Manic]

An international team run by someone like the UN? Wouldn't that be Storm's XSE again?

 

[Havok83]

The XSE went absolutely nowhere. It could have been a good concept. I rather the X-men stay away from the government. They have grown increasingly more corrupt in recent years. This stuff with Norman Osborn is an absolute mess

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Uncanny: Cyclops, Emma, Wolverine, Polaris, Nightcrawler, Storm, Iceman

X-Force: Wolverine, Warpath, X-23, Angel, Domino, Vanisher, Cable

X-Men(drop the "Legacy"): Rogue, Gambit, Xavier, Havok, Beast, Rachel, Korvus, Bishop

New X-Men: Cannonball, Magma, Magik, Sunspot, Moonstar, Karma, Wolfsbane

Young X-Men: ALL the kids including X-23 with Northstar and Sage as mentors

X-Factor: Multiple Man, Siryn, Strong-Guy, Darwin, M, Rictor(repowered), Layla

Limbo: Pixie, Armor, Dazzler, Firestar, Aurora, and Hepzibah

 

[Havok83]

Limbo: Pixie, Armor, Dazzler, Firestar, Aurora, and Hepzibah

LMAO! Is that supposed to be a new book featuring the characters you dont want to see?

 

[Manic]

Wouldn't Pixie be included as one of the Young X-Men? Armor too?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

It's not a new book, I just want them to go away like they sent Nightcrawler's brother Abyss away

I almost sent Nehzno's ass there just for that comment Storm made about his strength "rivalling Colossus'" Ha!

 

[Manic]

Is there anything wrong with Nezhno being about as strong as Colossus? God knows if the two ever got into a fight, Pete would win because Nezzy can't go 30 seconds without giving himself a stroke.

 

[Havok83]

I think Firestar, Aurora and Hepzibah already checked into limbo so you're free from them at least for now

 

[Colossal Spoons]

None of the kids are as strong as Petey! Not Onyxx. Not Rockslide. Not "Gentle"

He should go fight Guido so it can be strokes and heart attacks galore
