Psylocke and Sage are the only two characters revealed and/or mentioned by you that:
1 - have any place on this team
AND
2 - anyone cares about in the slightest
The more I look at this collection of characters the less likely I am to even pick up the first issue. Overall it is a collection made up of mostly niche favs and complete nobodies, the cast is nowhere strong enough to support a title long term IMO.
I know this is rather critical considering it has not even been released yet, but on paper there is little about this upcoming title to get excited about.
Well Sage is a personal favorite of mine that I'd love to have apart of a team but since she's MIA it probably won't happen! But it's an interesting lineup to say the least! I'd give it a chance! Spiral interests me.
U didn't answer my question... which other three characters would u like to see apart of this team?
1 - Hellion
This team seems like the perfect place to focus his rage in a productive manner. Of all the younger characters he seems to be toeing the line closest between good/evil, and this is an environment to really see if he can straddle that line without crossing over. He is not going to learn anymore being among the X-kids that are now mostly drones and he can be evaluated in the field, and in a supervised setting. His character has been pretty much forgotten about even as he was among the more popular of the massive X-crop of new young characters, best to do something now before everyone truly forgets about him
2 - Cannonball
Of all the X-Men, he is the only one who was part of: X-Force with Cable, X-Force with Hotknife (Pete Wisdom), X-Force as leader, the X-Men main teams. If there is any character who knows how to integrate an offensive team like X-Force and still stay within the standards the majority of the X-Men hold dear, it's him. Why he is not the second in command of the new unit is beyond me. I know he is joining the Avengers, but this is a far better role and one that actually makes sense for him.
3 - Mimic
Other than the use of alternate versions of him in Exiles, the 616 version has only been used for cameos here and there. His powerset allows him to be a huge offensive weapon as when facing him you are never sure what powers he is coming at you with, as well as being able to switch them in and out on the fly depending on the opponent. Mimic has been shown working for both the X-Men and their enemies so the idea of him doing the dirty work would not be a stretch.
