Comics What Would You Consider the 'Definitive' X-Men Line-Up?

[TMC1982]

There are really three line-ups that stick out the most:
The original line-up:
*Cyclops
*Beast
*Iceman
*Angel
*Marvel Girl (Jean Grey)

The "Giant Size" line-up from 1975:
*Cyclops
*Wolverine
*Nightcrawler
*Storm
*Thunderbird
*Colossus

The team that was featured on the "Pryde of the X-Men" pilot was essentially the same group except Dazzler was there instead of Thunderbird (who was killed off in the comics since that time).

And the 1992 animated series line-up:
*Cyclops
*Wolverine
*Storm
*Rogue
*Gambit
*Jubilee
*Beast
*Jean Grey

For me it's Blue/Gold and that's what I think of first.

Blue
Cyclops
Wolverine
Beast
Gambit
Rogue
Jubilee
Psylocke

Gold
Jean Grey
Storm
Colossus
Archangel
Iceman
Bishop


That blue squad is BANANAS.

 

[Johnny Drama]

I myself have always been partial to the original Astonishing X-Men line-up.

Cyclops
Wolverine
Emma Frost
Beast
Kitty Pryde
Colossus

and other than that, Claremonts team from the mid 80's

Storm
Wolverine
Nightcrawler
Colossus
Rogue
Rachel Summers
Kitty Pryde

Ah, how I miss the 90's.

 

[Czar Colossus]

I'm partial to Second Genesis or original Astonishing line-up, but as long as Colossus and Kitty are present I'm happy!

'Crawler
Rogue
Jubilee

I wish they would bring back Team Blue and Gold.....

 

[Jennifer Walters]

When I think of the X-Men I too think of the Blue/Gold teams, with Nightcrawler and Kitty Pryde thrown in for good measure.

 

[EvilClareToo]

When I think of the X-Men I too think of the Blue/Gold teams, with Nightcrawler and Kitty Pryde thrown in for good measure.

Yeah, for me, if they chuck out Bishop and Jubilee and replace them with Kitty and Kurt, that would be ideal!

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Yeh, blue/gold for me too.

X-men was never the same after.

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

Blue was just perfect for me. I'm pretty sure its because I bought X-Men instead of Uncanny and that was my first comic series but I thought Gold was schway boring.

 

[Nature's Rising]

Can we just have all of them? All of them, Blue/Gold Team was just way too awesome.

But to pick up a definitive team for me:

Cyclops = leader
Storm = co-leader
Wolverine = for popularity
Emma Frost = resident ****** and resident punchline bag
Kitty = seriously, I miss her ******ing with Emma and she's useful in a lot of fights
Colossus = ultimate powerhouse for the team
Beast = the brains
Nightcrawler = awesome synergy with Colossus, Kitty and Peter, the heart of the team.
Rogue/Psylocke = I'm torn between the two actually. I want Rogue because she's an asset but Psylocke is also great with fighting on the spot, but Betsy would be better though since I want Rogue to shine as her own and lead her own little team.

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

Definitive all IWTC team would be

Cyclops
Emma Frost
Storm
Wolverine
Nightcrawler
Multiple Man
Beast
Rogue

 

[Comics N' Toons]

the crew just before, during and just after Byrne's run with Claremont:

*Cyclops
*Wolverine
*Storm
*Jean Grey (Pheonix)
*Colossus
*Banshee (partly)
*Nightcrawler

Damn talk about an old thread. Same group for me except I'd replace Banshee with Shadowcat and Lockheed. This is the line up when I started reading comics.

Oh crap. I forgot about Kitty. Yeah, I would have her on my list as well.

But yeah, I have a habit of resurrecting old threads.
