hey /co/ I want to know which X-Men character is the most popular
So tell me, who is your favourite member of the X-Men and why do you like them?
Maggott. He's got a cool haircut.
>>82955406
Ah, stealth waifu thread.
>>82955406
>which X-Men character is the most popular
Wolverine is the end all, be all of popular mutants. You should know this.
>>82955406
>who is your favourite
Colossus. He's just a genuine, good guy who cares about his friends and sister.
>>82955487
>Colossus. He's just a genuine, good guy who cares about his friends and sister.
And marine life.
>>82955487
You say that but I don't know anyone whose favourite X-Man is Wolverine.
>>82955406
>>82955524
Yeah he's the only xman with two (soon to be three) big budget feature length films. I'm sure among x-men comic readers he is not as often the favorite. But overall he's easily the most popular x-manq
>>82955524
Casuals, mostly. Because he's cool, dark and literary edgy etc.
>>82955406
Jubilee cause she's cute
Also I fucking hate kitty
My favourite is Nightcrawler. He seems like a really great guy and his powers can be pretty cool.
>>82955666
>Satan's favorite mutie is the blue demon
No surprise there.
![Nightcrawler[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/bzW9uMN.png "Nightcrawler[1].png")
As a child my favourite was definitely Nightcrawler because he always seemed to be having the most fun being a hero.
But now I'm older I feel like I can empathise more with Scott than Kurt, and I probably like him more.
>>82955681
When did I become Satan?
>>82955761
>666
You dolt
>>82955406
Emma Frost. Because she is one of the best examples of a villain turned hero, she still comes off as a villain sometimes with her attitude but she is far more heroic than most of the X-men. Also, I love how she calls everyone out on missusing telepathy and she holds telepaths and herself to a much higher standard that other people with powers
also, boobs
Nightcrawler, Probably a bro. Blue is a good color. Teleporting is great.
Colossus, best movie dad second place comic dad.
Juggernaut. he was an Xman for 5 minutes it counts in my heart.
>>82955815
>also, boobs
opinion discarded
>>82955868
please kill yourself
>>82955868
well she has them
I always liked Beast.
I understand he's done some pretty retarded shit in recent years though, even though I stopped following X-books ages ago. Didn't he get told off by Uatu for fucking up so bad by bringing the teen X-Men into the present?
>>82955406
One and only.
>>82955897
Fakes.
>>82955915
If people didn't like them they wouldn't keep making them.
>>82955715
>But now I'm older I feel like I can empathize more with Scott
this is true for most of us
>>82955406
Longshot. Cool origin/concept, cool powerset when written right, genuinely nice guy, has a sobstory but doesn't act like an emo bitch about it, cool nemesis, and he's so handsome :3
>>82955524
Kids love Wolverine. You probably did too.
>>82955915
Almost all the women in comics have 'fake' boobs. They don't work like the real world. So...super powers give women bigger breasts and also make them not move
>>82955966
Not really, I'm
>>82955715
>>82955979
That's what they call "secondary mutations".
>>82955406
I always like Rogue a lot. Awesome costume, powerset that can be both cool and interesting writing-wiseand in recent years i happened to develop a fetish for girls with southern american accent
I don't know if i can call her my absolute favourite tho, i also usually like Wolverine and Storm a lot... eh, they're all just cool
>>82955983
Err.... great?
You can like both you know. You can even like both Logan and Slim.
>>82955933
Won't argue that. I love how that makes her more of person, you know. Every girl in comics has DDs and face of supermodel. Emma got that too, eventually. Reminds me of that cowboy girl Kaine banged, I think. Wearing wig and whatnot.
>>82955966
Not that anon, but never did. I love my muggas with fancy colored powers. Claws are good only in Diablo.
>>82955406
Honestly? Wolverine.
But only when he's on his own. I love his solo adventures, but he's honestly one of my least favorite when it's an actual team of X-Men.
But I can't help but love the little Canadian weaboo.
>>82955524
Guess you didn't have many friends.
In the 90s, it was wolverine, then it was gambit, now it's psylocke.
>>82955406
X-23. Because she's cute! CUTE!!
>>82956042
>Every girl in comics has DDs and face of supermodel. Emma got that too
Yes, and part of her character is knowing she's sexy and desirable and using it to her advantage.
>>82956067
Same opinion I have about Batman. Solo is good, JL is bad. Bad!
>>82956101
Yeah. New hair, new way of speak, new boobs, new this and next thing you know, the most important girl in universe.
>>82955487
this
>>82955815
>she holds telepaths and herself to a much higher standard that other people with powers
The one who dresses like a slut and then threatens to turn you gay because you had sexual thoughts? The one who threatens to reprogram your brain to do some stupid little tick if you annoy her?
Just for the powerset
Psylock
Nate Grey
Hellion
Hyper storm
Frankly richards
For sex god status tier.
Angel
Havok
>>82956208
>threatens
she's hasn't ever followed through on that. Unlike Jean or Xavier. Don't know much about Psylocke though
>>82955406
Most popular is Wolverine. That pig barf is among Marvel's poster boys like Spider-man, Captain America and he has never looked not out of place to me. Well, at least he was, only good thing about Fox's X-men is bickering between them and Marvel.
As a kid I always liked Cyclops, still do, but like a year ago I started reading New Mutants and I immediately fell in love with Magik, and her own mini-series in my opinion is Claremont's best.
>>82956259
Oh, that makes it ok then. Better call the prisons to let out all those people who weren't actually going to pull the trigger when they robbed someone at gun point, but didn't follow through on it.
>>82956259
Anyone know why jubilee hates the fuck out of psylocke? Or at least use to?
Madrox. If he's actually a mutant. That changeling shit is kinda murky.
>>82956311
Jean and Xavier are huge fucking assholes who erase peoples minds, rape teen agers, and out fags
>>82956321
Because Psylocke has bigger talents.
>>82956328
Mugga who got power at birth. Makes him OK in my book.
>>82956344
Emma Frost may be an immoral telepath, but at least she's not Hitler!
>>82956381
She fucked one, though.
>>82956328
OP said X-Men character, not mutant.
Warlock and Longshot aren't mutants.
>>82956218
for the sake of my tally do you think you could pick one above any of the others?
>>82956396
I didn't know there is Internet in Limbo, Storm.
Nightcrawler and Wolverine because frankly they look the coolest imo.
Nightcrawler.
Nightcrawler is really cute and I liked the stories of him dealing with his apperances while being a charm guy.
>>82956436
Got my reference, eh? Here's one pic, on the house.
Emma Frost and Cyclops
Is Namor still considered an X-man?
If not I guess Cyclops. I think he was awesome but Bendis did nothing with him, and now hes dead.
>>82956554
>Is Namor still considered an X-man?
He's everything. For angry loner king, he sure goes to plenty of teams.
>>82956554
Namor was an X-Man, yes.
And it's honestly surprising that it took this long for Cyclops to get killed off if he's actually dead now.
>>82956633
Don't worry, some of his trusty X-Men made sure he's dead.
>>82955406
It used to be Rogue
Them they shat all over her and made her a gigantic asshole
So I guess it's Useless Girl now
Even if she is a baby stealer
>>82956723
Then*
>>82956633
>if he's actually dead now.
Like that means anything.
>>82956754
Exactly. Being dead didn't stop Frank to Frank, right? What matters will writers use him and fuckload of other mutants. There are so many mutants unused you can field three more teams easily.
>>82955406
Beast (before he was made into a cunt/before All-New X-men)
He doesn't have any amazing power, he relies on his smarts. He also ended up with the appearance of a Beast and faced a lot of problems because of his appearance, and he's an advocate for mutants.
I've always loved beast. Man they've shat on him as of late but who of the original x-men have they not?
>>82955406
Haven't you seen the movies?
Mystique, of course.
>there are people in this thread who unironically like the o5.
Cykes the only member of the o5 worth a fuck and Jean should have stayed dead on the moon
>>82955406
Cyclops, I love the boy scout characters and his power is awesome.
>>82957038
I was legit surprised when I learned there are people who were fans of Warren before he became Archangel.
>>82956554
Namor is dead as well. Bravo Marvel.
So is there a single mainline X-man who wasn't irredeemably ruined after AvX?
Honestly I'm treating X-men '92 as my current canon X book. And fuck the rest.
>>82955406
Storm, Nightcrawler, Dani Moonstar are top 3.
>>82957258
Nah, all is shit. They had their personalities for some time, but ANAD put the last nail in coffin.
My top 3 girls
1. Magik
2. Pixie
3. Dani
Top 3 boys
1. Cyclops
2. Cannonball
3. Rockslide
Cyclops and Magik are easily my faves
Mercury gets props for being the best underused character ever. All of the NXM kids, in fact.
and where warpath at, dude's a beast
>>82957610
Little teleport-heavy team, but not bad. Would read.
Pre-Bendis Jean Grey. There's just something I like about her tragic story. Also Nightcrawler, he's pretty cool looking and has a great personality.
>>82957791
tell that to jeff lemire.
no seriously. someone please tell him.
>>82955406
Colossus because he's a nice guy who also tears shit up and I also like that he was a simple Russian farmer
>>82955406
Nightcrawler, best power, best look, fun attitude
>>82955406
Two favorites: Jubilee and Cyclops
Jubilee because I like her general upbeat attitude. She constantly sees the upside of situations and I like her as almost the moral heart of any group she's in, despite her generally bratty attitude. She's matured and can play the role of the cool, likable older sister. She's a nice contrast to the generally cynical tone that superhero comics have had for the last 10 or 15 years.
Cyclops is kind of the opposite. He's grim and determined. The guy, I think more than anyone else in the MU, is the ultimate hero. He's so pushed by duty that he's willing to foster the entire weight of the world on his shoulders and willing to sacrifice everything, even his own personal happiness. to achieve a world in which coexistence between different races and species is not just a possibility but a fact. Reading Claremont's run, Cyclops is honestly the most interesting character in the entire run. His desire for a normal life clashing with the reality of his situation is great reading.
>>82957865
I fucking hate more than anything the attempts to give colossus and Magik back stories. Like there are several books about his life before giant sized and about magical raspitins and shit and just fuck that. Why can't we have one fucking superhero who wanted to be a superhero and who wasn't born of tragedy and forced into it?
Colossus is with great power comes great responsibility without him having to learn by watching his uncle killed
>>82957966
Which is amazing considering he isn't in like half the run (well not directly, fuck X factor literally nothing good came from the shit)
>>82957966
>He's so pushed by duty
Dream was a mistake.
>>82957985
>Why can't we have one fucking superhero who wanted to be a superhero and who wasn't born of tragedy and forced into it?
Does it count if space dude gives you cosmic power to fight crime but your family is alive and no tragedy happens? Except to alien, but eh.
>>82957784
Never thought of it as a team but now that I do, it is a pretty good group.
>>82955406
Wolverine and Jubes will always be my favorite two.
>>82956475
They are bros.
>>82958066
>Hal Jordan
>no tragedy
Didn't his whole family die? Also all his friends hated him, he became a paralax, his whole city was nuked, and he was a pedo
The correct answer. Fuck Marvel for fucking him up all the time.
I also like Emma and Nightcrawler a lot.
>>82958194
Didn't think of him, just another space cop.
>>82958224
>The correct answer.
>not right answer
>>82958224
There is no correct or right answer here.
>>82958257
>saying that to a slimfag
Oy vey.
>>82958249
sorry for disappointing you anon, here's your (right)
>>82958268
I know it's a lost cause.
>>82957985
I liked Colossus: Origins or whatever it's called. The one by Kyle/Yost. It just expanded on some pre-existing elements without adding any new tragedy.
yeah, he was right
>>82957610
>2. Cannonball
good fucking pick
>>82955406
Gambit because I grew up in the 90's.
>>82955406
I can never decide whether I like Cyclops or Nightcrawler more.
I really like some of the younger generations too.
>>82955966
I hated Wolverine when I was a kid. His powers were boring and his prominence obscured more interesting stuff.
I remember being baffled by his popularity.
>>82957985
My problem is Colossus is just kind of boring. I mean that's nice and all but he kind of doesn't have a personality beyond "hero" and "sensitive". Nightcrawler pulls off the "good guy who loves being a hero" shtick way better.
It says a lot that the best Colossus story was the one where he died, even if the mechanics of how he died were goofy.
>>82955903
good taste, man.
However, I like his son a bit more
>>82959384
Cyclops, Emma, Cable, Jean, Maddie, Sinister, Havok... what glorious family.
>>82955856
>he was an Xman for 5 minutes
And also the only one who cared for that little kid. I like him as well.
>>82955897
I love Emma. What's going on with her now?
>>82959209
Go read the Proteus arc again lad
>>82959541
>I love Emma. What's going on with her now?
Missing.
I've always been a fan of Colossus and Nightcrawler from a design standpoint.
I'm just now reading some Claremont and I'm having the problem I always have with the X-Men where I wonder why people discriminate against them when heroes like the Fantastic Four are referenced in the book.
Like I understand Nightcrawler because of his appearance, but everyone else would be able to live fairly normal lives otherwise or are pretty standard superheroes. I feel like X-Men works better in its own universe.
>>82959557
I've read it, he's not much of a character in the arc until the very end when he kills Proteus. It's far more of a Moira and Cyclops story with Colossus playing cavalry.
>>82959712
It's called Public Relations.
People aren't afraid of the Fantastic Four because people know them. They're all scientists, they got into an accident (ie: people know that they won't randomly turn into The Thing), and they're rich.
Mutants have to deal with the fact that a lot of them have very shitty, dangerous powers and that literally anyone, at any given moment, can just erupt into Hellfire and kill a hundred people. There's nothing they can do to stop it, and that terrifies them. Also, the main antagonistic terrorist group is called, "The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants". Which is really hard to spin in a good light.
>>82955524
I did when I was a little kid. His powers were simple but effective, he had a recognizable personality (ornery),and he was Canadian.
Psylocke is one of my favorite, mostly because she's hot.
>>82956358
Hehe.
Psylocke 2nd best telepath
>>82956527
My man
>>82957610
Rockslide is the only one of those newer X-Men I genuinely like. He doesn't give any fucks, as long as it's fun.
>>82959572
Damn.
>>82959712
Why do I hate blacks but not asians?
>>82959871got me there
>>82955406
wolverine is my favorite of the old x-men, and by old i mean any 1990ish and before, fantomex is another i really enjoyed from the newer era of x-titles
I'm just going to ask here instead of making a new thread because I'm lazy, but what are more books like "God Loves, Man Kills"?
I've read early Claremont books in the past, but I was really surprised to see how well crafted this was. It only had one or two WORDSWORDSWORDSWORDSWORDS bubbles, and it wasn't obnoxiously overstating something.
deadpool. he counts right? if not, then probably colossus.
It's always been a very close call for me between Nightcrawler and Iceman. Though, if I had to chose one, I'd go with Kurt, but it really could be a flip of a coin.
>>82959968
>deadpool. he counts right?
>tfw Deadpool never got into X-Men.
>>82957985
He's basically like Russian Superman... even though there already is a Russian Superman
>>82959968
He's mutagenic, I think. Not a mutant.
>>82959984
He was once. And tunerd down the second invitation (by the time of Axis)
>>82960045
Who? Red Guardian?
>>82959830
yeah, unfortunately he was of the crappier Canadian characters. I love how Marvel Canada is pretty much polar opposite of RL Canada. It's fun to think of us as super badass and wrong on most accounts. and it gives us Alpha Flight, who are pretty damned great.
And I don't know why, but I prefer Northstar to Quicksilver. They are both asshole speedsters but Northstar seems cooler. Maybe it's more of the times Quicksilver has been basterdized in the cartoons.
>>82960068
Nah I meant the Red Son elseworlds
>>82959958
Whedon's X-men
Demon Bear Saga
Brood Saga
those are 3 of my favs
>>82960063
i see deadpool gets lots of shit for his lolrandom or whatever other dumb argument i see, but shit like this, him wearing marvel girls outfit is just perfect. if i had the reaction image of that big guy from emperors new groove id post it.
Iceman was always my favourite growing up due to him having thecoolestpowers.
Cyclops because I never really read up on the comics and just watched the show as a kid. He had the coolest outfit/powers and wasn't a complete asshole.
>>82959805
true but his character made a massive deal about killing. colossus and violence, alongside his typical peaceful nature, is what makes him such a cool character to me
and also why i'm so bitter about him being jacked into a horseman of apocalypse for no reason other than lemire thinking it'd be banta
Fantomex cause hes a suave motherfucker.
Gambit
fellow Louisiana native
>>82960128
reminder that your favorite xman was basically raped by emma frost. i wish she would do that to me
>>82960128
Is he the one they made gay?
>>82960239
do you say chere, mon amie and such? if not, you should start. also, keep about 20 decks of playing cards on you at all times
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0f3vp5FZPU
I think it's still Nightcrawler even though I heard he died? I don't follow comics too closesly.
But I've always been in love with teleporting and Kurt having an extremely noticeable outward mutation that made him vulnerable to ridicule.
>>82960322
Got revived in Amazing X-Men then had incredibly shitty solo written by Claremont.
>>82955406
I like that Snikt Bubson guy, he's pretty cool.
>>82960322
he was dead, but then he used his powers to teleport from heaven back to earth
>>82960278
yeah
>>82960365
That's so incredibly stupid, but I'm still grinning like an idiot.
>>82960378
prettycooldesu
>>82955406
Anyone whose favorite character isn't Cyclops has no right to call themselves X-men fans.
Nightcrawler
He's a cool dude that can stick to walls and teleports
He also likes swordfighting and dating beautiful ladies
Dude just loves life
Havok: the personality traits of Scott you care about, but even mote shafted by the marvel universe
>>82960524
Cyclops reminds me of Norman Bates for some reason.
>>82959958
That's a hard question. To me, the defining aspect of Claremont's run is how serialized it is. There's great flow and build up to many arcs. Self contained stories are rare. Claremont also grows during the run, with his ability to write more subtly growing. Finally, the comics industry itself was maturing. GL,MK is a standalone graphic novel so it was able to be more mature than the typical floppy.
Long story short, there isn't anything like GL,MK because that wasn't what they wanted to make. There are plenty of good stories but they're better read as part of the run.
>>82960292
pretty much, yeah

>>82960621
>There are plenty of good stories but they're better read as part of the run.
There's a Byrne quote about that in one of the storytimes about how adaptations of the Dark Phoenix Saga miss the point going right to Dark Phoenix and ignoring the build up which goes way back to Uncanny #97. The Phoenix/Dark Phoenix Saga is literally years--30 or so comics worth--of stories to get to that point.

>>82955915

Some good taste on the accent. Also Bengus Rogue is best Rogue. The hair, the high test, all of it.
>>82959984
