I'd say:

Storm

Magneto

Cyclops

Emma Frost

Jubilee

I like the five as it is.

Three of your top five are horrible.

Replace Colossus with Magneto but otherwise I like the 5

1. Rachel Grey
2. Betsy Braddock
3. Emma Frost
4. Rogue
5. Dani Moonstar

@jhazzroucher: i like your five, except jubilee i like more Betsy Braddock

1) Iceman

2) Sunspot

3) Magneto

4) Magik

5) Cyclops

Magneto should have been one of them. Replace Magik.

The original 5 X-men of course

It is just a plot device. Keep it as is. They stay like that for six issues, a couple tie ins and then they will go back to normal.

I personally like the Top 5 that were chosen. I really cant think of anyone else it just makes sense.

Cyke durrr

Emma shes with Cyke

Magik shes magical

Colossus shes Magiks big bro plus he already got Empowered before

and

Namor ehhhh I guess I aint mad at em I wouldnt mind Storm taking his place

and sidenote ICEman as a choice for the FIREbird?

(+)

@Yung ANcient One: i was more thinking, an omega lvl mutant (bobby) w/ an omnipotent cosmic energy source.

@Dman1366: Wearing a Firebird outfit? :/

Im just saying though.

:)

I would prefer it there were no Phoenix 5 really. I don't like the Phoenix being associated with anything without the last name "Grey".

But I would keep the Phoenix 5 as it is because the costumes look pretty cool.

SUPER MEGA PHOENIX 5 GOOOOOO!!!

yeahh, it sounds quite bad conceptually, but then again, the outfits are pretty sick.

My Choice: (since its mainly the extinction team)

Cyclops

Storm

Magneto

Namor

Emma Frost

Magik, Iceman, Nate Grey, Cyke and Emma.

Nobody.

Ha I called it I knew it would be a Raindrop that created a thread like this so they could say Storm. :p

Dr. Doom

Galactus

Thanos

Squirrel Girl

Deadpool

@cattlebattle said:

agreed...though I don't know how they would have gotten Beast in there....and I guess Jean might be a problem as well

Nobody.

This.

I'll play:

Ideally I'd like to keep it all in the family. Somewhat a thematic commentary on Jean's genotype and why the Phoenix chose her in the first place.

Nathan Grey

Rachel Grey

Scott Summers

Cable

Madelyne Pryor

Switch Namor with Rachel Grey and I'd be really interested.

Xavier

Emma Frost

Rachel

X-man

Cable

All have wielded the phoenix Force or are tied to the force through blood line connection. plus are all omega level mutants

I LOVE ur choices!!

Personally I'd prefer it to never have happened, but just the same Namor being in there annoys me and I'm not even sure why.

@jhazzroucher: wow. storm first choice. i would have never guessed. i cant beat that.

Angel

Cyclops

Beast

Iceman

Professor X

Cyclops, Quentin Quire, Beast, and Storm. Led by Hope Summers. I don't want my favs to be a part of this disaster, so I kept them off the list. Sadly, Colossus is already part of the Phoenix Five, a group of Avenger's villains, who won't be villains for two, maybe three more issues.

Cyclops

Emma Frost

Storm

Colossus

Magik

Just out of curiosity why Storm?

Ok but what does she bring to the table that the present Phoenix Five don't?

She has magical potential (magik)

She has natural defenses to telepathy (emma)

She's a great and experienced leader (cyclops)

She's a powerhouse already (colossus & namor) [little bit of a stretch i know lol]

From Merriam-Webster:

over·pow·er

verb \ˌō-vər-ˈpau̇(-ə)r\

Definition of OVERPOWER

transitive verb

1 : to overcome by superior force :subdue

2 : to affect with overwhelming intensity <the stenchoverpowered us>

3 : to provide with more power than is needed or desirable <a dangerously overpowered car>

4: to allow Magneto to have even a fraction of the Phoenix Force

@Onemoreposter: Well yeah, it'd be lie giving Batman a weapon that runs on willpower, but wouldn't seeing Magneto with undeniable force be fun for an issue or two ?

No one.

No one.

I HATE HOW THEY HAVE THIS HUGE STORY BUILD UP FOR HOPE SUMMERS BEING THE CHOSEN ONE,AND THEY CHANGE IT AT THE LAST MOMENT,...BUT NO BIGGIE I LIKE CYCLOPS AND EMMA'S NEW COSTUMES

Jackie

Tito

Jermaine

Marlon

Michael

No-one! That overgrown flaming pigeon needs to stop possessing everyone it see's!

I would have thrown an Avenger in there just to make it interesting.

Cyclops

Namor

Thor

Magneto

Iceman

Emma Frost Psylocke Rachel Grey Quentin Quire Charles Xavier Five of the strongest telepaths with the Phoenix Phorce, they'd be really powerfull.

I like the idea of keeping it in the family since it was stated that jean was fated to pass the phoenix on to her Descendants.

Rachel

Cabel

Nate/X man

Hope (I think there's more grey DNA in her background then the x-men know)

Maybe Maddie pryor

I think Merriam-Webster's 4th definition is a bit biased.

But then again, its probably true.

• Cyclops
• Wolverine
• Storm
• Psylocke
• Magneto
• Emma Frost
• (yeah, I know, 6, cut whichever you want)
