Leader: Cyclops
Vice: Storm
Jean
Logan
Rogue
Two energy bonanzas, one telepath/telekinetic, one for physical brawls, and one with the powers from the enemies.
Beast, Nightcralwer and Colossus are all physique, although Nighty might come in handy with his teleporting abilities. But I believe Logan and Jean cover his absense. Kitty has little to no purpose in battles, other than not getting herself in trouble/death. She would stay there whistling all along. Jean's abilities make up for Xavier. Iceman is a mix of energy and physique, I got both in great examples. DONE!
I still think she's a great weapon. If I take into consideration X1 Jean, I'd leave her home. Rogue doesn't do much in the trilogy, that's right. But I'm working on a "what if" situation here. We have Storm, Cyclops and Logan to cover her while she drains the enemy. If she were all by herslef, sure, worthless, but she's inside a team. After she absorbed the enemy, depending on the powers, the others were free and they had already a weak enemy, and one person with his powers.
I'd say that, given the fact that she was a student at Xavier's academy for probably about 4 years (at least that's my estimation), she has to have some skill in hand-to-hand and other forms of battle (e.g.: it was a good idea to take Pete's powers briefly in the Danger Room. That didn't show helplessness. She was sticking close to him for a reason. It's unfortunate that that's the most we've seen of her in battle, 'cause without anything better, she does seem kinda weak.) Imagine that girl in a hand-to-hand: one good touch, and she can take them down. What she needs to do is wear an outfit that shows a lot more skin: she's practically useless in a full-body suit with gloves. She needs to wear a vest (like what Beast wore, only closed in front), and maybe some short black shorts. In my X-Men 4 script, I've got her in a battle where she wins by locking her opponent in a headscissor to drain their energy. She'd do a lot more good if she wore something that made her powers easier to use (and, on a side note, it wouldn't be bad for the morale of the male X-Men.
)
the problem is that if she shows that much skin, she's also dangerous to the X-men. You know, I really like her movie costume with the opera gloves. If she takes them off, 3/4 of her arm comes out, being very useful/dangerous. It's a pity that she never even takes her outfit gloves off in the moviesI'd say that, given the fact that she was a student at Xavier's academy for probably about 4 years (at least that's my estimation), she has to have some skill in hand-to-hand and other forms of battle (e.g.: it was a good idea to take Pete's powers briefly in the Danger Room.

Actually, I already thought that out: the other X-Men wear full body suits with gloves, so what she wears doesn't really matter to them.the problem is that if she shows that much skin, she's also dangerous to the X-men.
