X-Men Forum

Who's your favorite X-Man and why? What was the first story you remember reading about them?

For me, it is hands down Rogue who is my favorite. I like her for a variety of reasons, but mostly because she's a tough gal who doesn't take things lying down. If you're looking for a scrap, then Rogue will be more than happy to oblige.

My first story with Rogue was Secret Wars #3. She wasn't featured much in it, but I felt an immediate connection to her because she knew that she was hated not only for being a mutant but also being a former member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and she wasn't going to let that stop her. She was and always will be a tough girl to put down. She rocks!

Yeah it's weird with him. I'm not necessarily sure he's improved with age. A lot of his stuff I like, but I was only ho-hum about his return to X-Men.

Favorite X-Man? Geez, that's like asking if I like one of my kids more than the other...actually I only have one.... I'd have to give this some thoughts. I'm tempted to say Gambit but he needs a boost. As I mentioned in another thread, I hope he comes back better than ever (what's up with them killing off Ulitmate Gambit?!?)

As for Exiles...I'm a little concerned. I love Claremont but sometimes he goes off on different tangents. And I do wonder if he's been keeping up with the series and has a good feel for the characters. And Psylocke on the team? I'm really really worried about that. I love Psylocke. Being hot and all doesn't hurt. I'm so glad she was brought back from the dead but I do wonder what Claremont has in mind for her. Guess we'll see...

Nightcrawler. I like him because he is so compassionate towards people who hate him because of his appearance. I loved the story where Nightcrawler found out Mystique was his mother.

Cyclops, excellent character and he's severely under-rated.

I liked Maggott's powers, just not how he was written. My favorite X-Man would have to be Bishop, just always liked that character.

This might be cliché, but I'm gonna have to go with Wolverine. He's just too much of a badass to deny. Also, I really like Nightcrawler. I like acrobatic characters like him.

i've asked myself this question many a time, and I always come down to a three way tie: Nightcrawler, Gambit, and Iceman. Gambit has been my numero uno favorite since I was just a little 6 year old watching the show. I had Gambit pajamas for Christ's sake! Nightcrawler snuck into the highest parts of my list later on, into high school. His power I'm not that crazy about, but his personality and awesomeness with a sword make up for them. And good old Bobby, he's just cool (no pun intended, i swear) So i guess my favorite would have to be a blue, pointy eared, 3 fingered cajun that threw exploding hunks of ice at people.

Personally, I have always liked Colossus the most. He's a really good guy who doesn't like to hurt people, but when the shit hits the fan, he can throw a mean beating. I also like that he usually isn't portrayed as just another bruiser but as more of a tough and cunning fighter. Plus, he looks freaking cool. Bishop would have to be my second favorite though. I love his whole attitude.

I have to say Colossus. I always loved the big man with a big heart approach.

But the fact that he's not just about that, but has shown to be prone to outbursts of rage, his love for the arts, and that he's not dumb, just gentle is what really makes him my favorite. I can relate to him.

Plus, he boinks Kitty Pryde, you gotta give him points fot that.

Most people who don't look at him as a character and just see a guy with one simple (though powerful) ability don't usually like him. I like him, but not nearly as much as Iceman.
