Just curious as to what everybody's favorite X-Men character is.

Male: Gambit
Female: Psylocke (wish Marvel would bring her back)

When I first started collecting X-Men, they still had the original team. My favorite has always been Cyclops. His eye power blasts always made for some cool covers.

Cyclops. I always like the loner who was a leader deal. Plus he looked cool.

Always liked Phoenix.

As for Cyclops being big with a bunch of us MOTA fans . . .

Visor envy?

Visor envy? Solar had his visor a year before the X-Men even came out in 1963. Did Stan Lee rip off Gold Key? hmmmm.....

I always thought Archangel was cool since he sprung from such a lame character. But when you really come down to it, the sexy girl art in the X-Books was never better than Jim Lee's Psylocke, for what it's worth even though the psychic Knife is really lame.

For some reason I just realized I typed in the wrong X-Man as my top favorite. Although Wolverine is up amongst my favorite, but Gambit has always been on the very top. Mabye cuz I was looking at too many Hulk 181's that made me type Wolverine.

In any case, I've made the change.

Wolverine for me.
Never was a big X-men fan but Wolverine was always my favorite followed by Cable.
Anyone reading the current story arc in Wolverine right now? Three issues in and pretty exciting stuff!

Kitty Pryde.

She was the one who really turned the X-Men into a sort of family. In my opinion, the major issue that completely transformed the X-Men into the best comic book team of all time happened in Uncanny #153. The All New, All Different X-Men began as a loose association of strangers. It was really Jean Grey's death that began to bind them together. Even then, they were still drifting in different directions, particularly in how they mourned and coped. It was the presence of young Kitty that brought a real center and sense of community to the team. In a sense, she became the entire team's child. The responsibility of having to raise her together bound them into something much stronger than a superhero team. Years later, and long after Kitty grew and left, the team retained that center because it was now a family.

Iceman. Something about his powers just amaze me. I don't keep up with the books, but I think there's tons of untapped potential for everything he can do. Real scientific stuff if they would explore it.

Wolverine in his early days was easily my favorite X-Men character. He was a cold blooded killer in comics before that type of thing was the norm. I can't say I'm a big fan of the character now, he's way too overexposed and too much of the mystery of the character has been destroyed. Well, at least I'll always be able to go back and re-read the old stories!

OK lately Deadpool has been growing on me, depends if the character gets a good writer or not. Believe it or not the Cable & Deadpool series has been getting better as it has been coming out. Get issue #9 just to see Deadpool running around in a vintage Marvel Girl costume. I rarely laugh out loud reading a comic, but that did it for me.
