If you could take 1 character from the X-Men who you think could fill Wolverine's face-time in the comics if he disappeared from existence, who do you think has the presence, fan-base (or the possibility of building one) and overall well-rounded bad-@$$ery to stand in on a solo title, in every x-title and hold his/her own alongside the Avengers? Storm, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Emma, Psylocke, Colossus....they've all had solo titles/one-shots......but none has compared to the universal appeal.
 
In short, which X-Man could reach Wolverine's level of fame and acclaim? 

Deadpool is officially an X now, and he's already in multiple titles... ;)

im gonna go w/ gambit. i think his solo stuff didnt do him justice, and i think he could be made way cooler.

" Deadpool is officially an X now, and he's already in multiple titles... ;) "

I'll rather no one gets ruined as Wolverine was. =S

" @jordama: I'm so glad he got named before Pixie.  Dani Moonstar's another interesting possibility. She's depowered, but still formidable with the potential to delve in shamanism along with her hunter/tracker skills and archery. She's also a born leader with strong ties with the Valkyrie mounted on her flying horse, Brightwind.  "

i think the obv choice should be cyclops but i dont like the way they have his personality much if they made him a lil more comical he could be a great character but i think nightcrawler if done well it could be great

 
I thnk as of right now, canon is disregarding the mini because it really did nothing but said they were willing huff some dust. bunch of mutie addicts there ;) 

I like Iceman he is capable of being a power house, and has a long history.

"I like Iceman he is capable of being a power house, and has a long history."

If they built him up enough, and used him properly and made him important...I would really like to see them take Iceman to the next level.  
 

I think for someone on the X-Men to go solo and be successful they kinda need to be a loner 
I think Rogue, Gambit, Angel, and probably other characters we don't know a whole lot about, could hold their only solo title

" @jordama: not to be rude, but is that just because hes gay or does he really have enough of a back story and personality to be as popular as wolverine? "

Hellion

Well, character's who could just show up and bail everyone out when needed ala Wolverine, yet still be disliked by teammates and preoccupied with their own thing? Namor and Longshot. The 'technically a mutant, but no-one thinks of him as one' X-Man and the  'technically bot a mutant, but everyone thinks of him as one' X-Man.
 
Or, speaking of X-Man... Cable? Everyone loves Cable! Except everyone who doesn't... but they said the same thing about Deadpool, and now he's everywhere. And everyone who hated him loves him, and everyone who loved him hates him, and everyone still hates Rob Liefeld. And while we're on Liefeld creations, I have to second @Thunderscream about Shatterstar; he's gone from being so bad he's good so so good he's freaking awesome, which is definitely a Wolverine move (although it only took Wolvie 3 issues, not 15 years...)
 
I can't second Iceman though; I think single 'gimmick' character's like him work best as supporting. Not that character isn't paramount, but can you think of any really kick-ass characters with a single power they're identified with? Wolverine has Samurai training+Adamantium+Healing Factor+Really old. Iceman, he's just too predictable in a fight. Now, if they gave him some sort of shoulder mounted laser cannon it would... no, that would suck.

I'd still say Storm. I think the reason why they didn't give Storm an ongoing series is because Thor is already there.

" Onyxx yes give him a backstory and an increased power set "

Now I'm thinking the new vamped up Jubilee or maybe Madrox

I think Iceman could rise higher than he has if a writer would actually take time to give him some character development beyond the easy go lucky joker and develop his powers. He is suppose to be omega level powerful, to me that means he could potentially 
end the world, or at least destroy a large portion of it. Even when others have taken over his body  and shown him different uses and potential for his powers he has never that I can recall been depicted as being capable of destroying much of anything.  

If you were looking  for someone different that most casual comic fans would not know than Magik would probably be my choice. Here is someone able to make the hard choices like Cyclops, is capable of killing like Wolverine and when necessary can pull off incredible  manipulation like Sinister or Selene. If being a hero isn't in the cards for her she has potential to make a good villain. The only thing would be she would have to be built up over time as most comic fans outside of the X-books are unfarmilar with her, but she has a ton  of untapped potential.
