I would pick:

1. Cyclops (favorite character, please don't kill me)

2. Beast - best scientist to be had

3. Nightcrawler

4. Colossus - i always saw him as having the least faith in the Dream (joining the Acolytes, leaving the X-Men in Ultimate X-Men), which is really interesting and makes for great character dynamics

5. Forge - maybe only as support, maybe even not actually with the team but operating out of Eagle Plaza

6. Jubilee - great character, good leadership potential, like to see that developed

7. Quicksilver - this guy needs to be on the X-Men finally. ...plus, i really like him.

8. Cannonball - another great leader (X-Force), maybe Cyke could help him with some of his confidence problems

9. Emma Frost

10. Pixie - love the character

11. Dust - same

12. Firestar - this is one i'd really like to finally join the X-Men, as a mutant that has never been affiliated with them before (except for briefly being offered a spot on the Hellions while Emma was the White Queen -- hey, character drama!)

I'd also wish for Shadowcat, but i'm respectful enough to leave her dead for now.

Would not pick Wolverine, who's too busy with the New Avengers and X-Force (whose black ops status is lost anyway if he's seen with them AND the X-Men) or Xavier, who's more interesting on his own.

1.Cyclops

2.Cable

3.Colossus

4.Shadowcat

5.Wolverine

6.Bishop

7.Healer

8.Skids

Cyclops
Storm
Cannonball
Iceman
Wolverine
Nightcrawler
Rachel Grey
Psylocke
and Colossus

Enought Cyclops.. He should die for a change.. and Havoc too.

Storm and wolverine should lead the X-men with the help of professor Xavier.
I would be fine as long as cyclops and havoc are gone and Gambit is in it.

Damn Scott gets no love around here. He's one of the top three leaders in Marvel U.

So wath? He sucks and shud die!
In the MU..... if I became the editor in chief I could make howard the duck the best leader of the MU...

MU this and MU that, it doesnt matter! People do not like him cause he is a boy scout running in yellow panties.. thing is all writters seem to have wet dreams for him and thats why they always try to pair him and make him have sex with all the hot  x-men, or the hot x-men liking him.

All the summers brood should be exterminated, except cable because he is the only badass MOFO around.

You're an idiot. Wolverine can't lead worth a damn which he has admitted and Storm isn't in Cyclops' league when it comes to leading. Oh and he hasn't been a boy scout for about 6 years and hasn't worn the particular outfit you're thinking about for damn near a decade."

Oh yeah?...
cause in Wolverine and The X-men I have something something different from wath you are saying about Wolverine.

As for storm, F***k Black Panther and bring her back! , gettin married to him just because he is black aswell was one of the most retarded things done in marvel.
She is an x-men and people identify her as an x-men so she should stay as an X-men.

I think you are the idio for not thinking on the obvious.

I mentioned it earlier. Cyclops is my favorite character. (Heck, I even love him in the show. In fact, all three shows. Though him in the '90s show was a little weak / underdeveloped, IMO.)

cyclops. well yeah.

jean. shes more powerful.

wolverine. otherwise x-books wouldnt sell.

beast. thats a given, you need a science buff.

iceman. because of his recent ridiculous overpowering. however you need someone with flight capabilities....

colossus... well you need a stong man but he isnt the best. hes pretty static as far as character goes... o! my sister! o! i'm a martyr! he should have stayed dead...

Kurt... ugh the eternal whipping boy... please no. use pixie. shes a better teleporter and she doesnt whine...

rogue... even after her recent powerdown shes still a better asset. we already have a telepath and she has limitless potential.

charles. hes needed, i hate how they turned the wiseman into a villain. the x-men need him, he's their jiminy(sp) cricket.

cable... no. too much baby mamma drama.
