The Uncanny X-Men are a superhero team of mutants that were founded by fellow mutant Professor Charles Xavier. They are dedicated to helping fellow mutants and sworn to protect a world that fears and hates them.
@knighthood: I figured if you started a thread it'd be good.
Number one X-character I wish never existed: the Phoenix. Not Jean Grey, the Phoenix.
Number two would be a tie between the fake Magnetos, Joseph and Xorn.
the main reason for disliking all of these characters, though, is how contrived they were. And how much those contrivencies distracted from the concepts that I appreciate about the X-men.
She's got nothin' going for her except being right in the middle of some of the worst X-men stories ever. She's like the definition of a push-it-down-their-throats character!
totally can't agree with Wolverine or Namor, though. Love those guys.
Cable.....also known as 80's action movie, superhuman soldier ripoff.
I am just going to quote someone that I heavily agree with because they said it best....
"To me, Cable always symbolized the epitome of X-Men continuity problems as his origin has all of the problems of a soap opera, an Alabama family tree, a convoluted time travel plot, and a mindless action film all in one! Consequently, I pretty much hate Cable."

I'm going with X-23. I don't hate the character, I just can't stand her fans. That has to be one of the most annoyingest groups of people on the internet.
@dangallant984: No i was kidding. While she isnt my favorite i do like her and i think she make X-Men the comics and the team better. I would rather see someone else go i just wanted to see what people would say. I was going to say her or Wolverine (bc he is so popular) I actually would normally say Cyclops but since mutants moved to Utopia, Cyclops has been pretty cool.

I'd say Jean Grey but then many X-Stories wouldn't have existed. I don't like Jean, I really hate the redhead, and many other characters too, but I couldn't say "I wish he/she never existed" because without them the X-Men that I love maybe wouldn't even exist. So, well I don't want to erase anyone from existance.

That's a really good point, which is why I tried not to just pick boring/lame characters, because there are lots.
That said, I don't think Hope or either of the two fake Magnetos added anything of real substance, while distracting from what was actually good.
And I would argue the same about the Phoenix, but, at this point it's just effected too much.
you ever look at old pictures and shake your head when you admit to having worn that outfit or having your hair cut a certain way. Bishop came back from the future with a mullett
@dangallant984: Thanks. No Phoenix means no Dark Phoenix Saga. I don't know if I could go that far. I would even have a hard time getting rid of "Phoenix Coma" Jean Grey. Yes I hated when they brought her back, but I really did enjoy Simonson's run on X-Factor in which Jean was quite essential.
@poisonfleur: Hope is just another Jean "clone" in my opinion. I guess if she had a different hair color she would be decent. I'm still going with Joseph. I just hated that guy.
@time: Emma was fine as a villain. They should have left her at that.
Any lame mutant student that has newly manifested their powers!
And those are just off the top of my head!!
Lol. What a list. I wouldn't have the Phoenix reappear after the Dark Phoenix Saga. Period. Namor should have never joined the X-Men. Hope... meh. YEP on Xorn, X-Man, Vulcan, Joseph, Nemesis, Fantomex, & Legion. Warren should have been left as the blue skinned Archangel.

True. Plus, I tend to automatically hate on knock-off characters and I feel she falls in that category.

I'm THE BIGGEST fan of X-Men EVER!!! But there are certain things that I just don't like or agree about!!

Double ditto. I would not miss any of those characters. Can we kill them now before they start cloning themselves like Fantomex. There's three of him now!
