Yes.

See Carey's X-Men.

I agree with your last three points, though.

"

Are you talking about the Children of the Vault story-arc? That's one of my favorite X-Men stories! What I can remember from that arc was the fact that Iceman was able to reconstitute himself after being basically evaporated, not once but twice. Once by Northstar and Aurora and then again by Fuego. So is this what makes Iceman an Omega-level mutant? His immortality potential?  I'd be more impressed if Iceman could freeze the entire planet instead. "

Not only that but he showed that he could reach absolute zero in mere seconds by thermal manipulation, he stopped a nuclear bomb explosion and Sunfire's powers by using the same principals in the same run. "

X-men used to be my favorite comic book verse. Now, it sucks, and I hate it. Why?

" I hate Emma Frost I may be the one in the world to say that but just hate her as a character to me she's really uninteresting her fake boobs annoy me "

Also, seconded. Although to be honest, I have a problem with ANY woman character (or woman in real life) who's all, "Ooooh, look at me, I'm so sexy, but also powerful. Blah blah blah, fake boobs and really I'm just a bitch to everyone." It's like the "female" version of pretentious, and it annoys me to no end. (though I'm probably not doing a good job of describing what I mean here, I'm pretty good at failing in that regard.) "

" @The Dark Huntress: I'm not certain that Chris Claremont ever intended for Emma to eventually become a hero because when she was first introduced, she was very malicious. This is why I think some people have a hard time excepting her as an X-Man.  "

"Of course, there are some characters that are made to be unlikeable. "

Now there's a point I wish people understood more. It annoys me when people complain about how they "don't like" a certain character, when the entire purpose of that character is for you to not like them. Whether it's because they're a villain, or a d-bag ala Namor or Damian Wayne, the characters are entertaining because they're such absolute jerks. No, I wouldn't want to go and get coffee with Namor, but his character is still entertaining as hell. (Okay, this is mostly me ranting about all the Damian hate I see :P)

On topic, the X-Men... I don't read the X-Men, personally, but I think my biggest issue with not wanting to jump in is the severe lack of a status quo. Basically nothing stays the same for more than a few months, before the next BIG crossover storyline starts and everything gets shaken up and changed. Is there a big Spider-man crossover story every year? Nope. Is there a big Iron Man crossover story every year? Uh, no. So why do the X-Men need at least one HUGE story every year? With all the big X-Men events, it really makes the title seem disconnected from the rest of the Marvel Universe. Like the X-Men exist in their own little bubble and Wolverine is the only one who ventures out of it to hang with the Avengers.

I actually really like Fraction and Land.

I just hate that all the teams overlap and theres too many storylines going on at once. 

Make the teams separate, keep the books separate and only crossover when needed.  Now it seems its all bout crossovers and marketing the next crossover when your not even done with the first one.

" They killed all the interesting characters like Nightcrawler, Sabretooth, Omega red. Instead of killing of dumb characters like M, Pixie, Dust, armor.   Plus, Marvel is trying to be all politically correct by introducing more gay and women characters in X-men and failing to make them interesting and at the same time don't give panel time to well deserving characters like Iceman, Cannonball etc. "

HATE how rogues powers lost their kick, wish she had ms marvel powers back but not her personality

I'd say the worst thing currently is the characters they concentrate on mainly in Uncanny

Magento, Namor, X Club     - Some people should just not be X-men

But secondary is the fixation on Scott/Emma, their was a point where they were majorly appearing in almost every xbook and it just got ridiculous.

I like Scott and Emma generally but not in 7 books at once, their is so many times you can try to make Cyclops look cool in every situation.
