Storm without a doubt. I don't think Spiderwoman is that iconic; I mean she is really just a female version of Spiderman. I like Elektra but the movie portrayed her in a pretty negative light. Also, if I was to give an iconic male character Wolverine would be at the top of my list.
Storm is one of my favourite X-Men of all time. She is strong, independent and she gives Cyclops a run for his money as the leader. I like Emma too though. I think, despite the fact that some of her outfits are obscene, she shows that you can be a leader and still be a WOMAN. I'm not too fussy on Jean though; maybe because, even now, she still fits the characteristic of a woman living in the 1960s. Always sad to see her die though...
What is it about X-Men movies being done in a way that is almost anti-comic? I mean, with the first three films they had, in my opinion, ruined any chance of ever making a film about the "Original X-Men" made up of Scott Summers, Bobby Drake, Warren Worthington, Hank McCoy and Jean Grey and now we have a prequel film and only Hank McCoy appears to be an original X-Man. Also Charles HAS HAIR. What is that about? I know James McAvoy is young but surely his hair would have grown back pretty quickly. Are Scott and Alex brothers? Where is Lorna? What is Angel's purpose, considering she was born in the 80's or 90's? Mystique, an X-Man? So many questions and they will probably never be answered. All that being said I will still be making the customary trip to the cinema to see the film myself. If only I wasn't so obsessed... But anyway, after that lovely little rant, the review is great and it did, in all honesty, make me more comfortable about going to the see the film at all. So thank-you...
