No Right Answer: Best X-Men Member Ever

[2xDouble]

I would have said Iceman, but that dude was so bloody cheese in the Marvel vs Capcom series, it's hard to forgive him in spite of being awesome.

Cable is clearly awesome but to my knowledge never actually joined the X-Men official. He teamed up with them, led spin-off teams and such, but was never actually an X-Man.

Wolverine... meh. Yeah, there's some neat stuff going on around him, but he's basically just Connor McCloud without the "holy warrior/tournament" mythos. An immortal dude who hasn't quite gotten sick of living yet (like Apocalypse).

I always liked Bishop, or at least Bishop's powers... and, like Cable, I love a good time travel story.

As far as outright "best": Mimick. He is literally all of the X-Men combined.

 

[Evil Smurf]

Oh god...I lost at the beginning of that.

"Wolverine vs. Wolverine...wait a tic..."

That nearly had me on the floor.

Personally, I definitely agree with Wolverine...although for my money, Nightcrawler is also a contender.

I love Nightcrawler

Beast is easily my favorite X-man, even surpassing Wolverine. He's smart, strong, easily one of the more likeable X-men. Besides, he's probably close to Wolverine in terms of team membership, including beating him to the Avengers.

 

[Contradiction]

What is this shit. I don't see the Mutant Messiah? Not worshipping the Mutant Messiah, and admitting him as the best X-Men member ever? You need to bask in his light and see the error of your ways. For Cyclops was right.

Just the best X-Man coming through, oh and if any Avenger fan says Scott was wrong, just no, that even the writers, and editors says Scott was right

My man. Finally someone with excellent taste. Has someone perhaps been lurking 'Scott was Right' threads eh?
X gon give it to ya

Yeah I can't really argue with the results or add anything to the debate so I'll just say the following things:
-I really liked this week's shirts and Dan's choices for pictures

-Will there be a Halloween episode next week?

I think Tony Stark had it right.

Tony; "search all people with contact to venom symbiote."
Computer/jarvis; " Eddie Brock, Mac Gargan, Flash Thompson, Peter Parker, Logan(Wolverine)..."
Tony; "Damn, is there anything Wolverine hasn't done?"

I used to have a metaphorical hard on for Wolverine, but I can't stand the character anymore. To say he's overexposed would be an understatement. I think the breaking point for me was X-23, a female clone of Wolverine. (Or she was at the time, don't know if she still is. This is Marvel, after all - who the heck knows what's going to be true in the future for the characters.)

I don't have a favourite X-Man. I lean slightly toward Cyclops when he's not moping over Jean Grey. I found myself quite enjoying Shadowcat/Kitty Pride in the last decade, though that may be more her interaction with Emma Frost. Jean Grey is another one that I find myself liking at times, though too often she was turned into a damsel in distress for Cyclops and Wolverine to fight over the opportunity to save. Bobby Drake/Iceman is a character that I've wanted to like, and wanted to see something done with him but I'm always left disappointed in the creative uses for him. (Except Age of Apocalypse. I loved him in AoA)

If I'm allowed to use AoA then I've got a tie between Sabertooth and Blink. That was a dynamic that I loved. Heck, can I just say "AoA" as my favourite X-Man?

Can Beast turn a group of zombies into a group of EXPLODING zombies? Just sayin'

I would go with Gambit too.

Beast is all cool and he is a genius after all but in recent years the X-Men changed. They are not the goody goody twoe shoes they once were. Gambit really proposes this.

His "ex"girlfriend xxxxs with Magneto and he still wants her to come back.
The world still hates the X-Men but they still try to change the mindset.

And it was mentioned before, Gambit is DEATH from the horsemena of the apokalypse,
he still is since today.

And the story from X 23 and Gambit as something like her foster father just adds to his awesomeness.

Beast is a relatevly straight forward charakter. There is nothing wrong with it, he feels very natural and is great. But in terms of sheer backround, story, motivation and his nearly unlimitless powers Gambit is far more interesting.

Gambit even once was strapped to an interdimensional gate to let an invasion army conquer earth! His powers are nearly limitless.

There is just one question I have in mind, when Gambit can produce unlimited power, why don't they use him as a powersource for new utopia? Instead Magneto has to use his powers everytime, silly.

So long

 

[leviadragon99]

Yeah... I'm gonna have to go ahead and call cop-out on that verdict...

If he had a little prep time and some basic resources...

 

[Barciad]

As someone who grew up watching the old 90's cartoon, I am going to have to go with Gambit. Even over Wolverine. I liked Wolverine, that was never in doubt. But the second I saw Gambit throw those cards, that was that.

 

[ShadowKatt]

Wolverine sucks. Wolverine has always sucked. People in here are complaining about Nightcrawler being one dimensional, a religous zealot, Wolverine is just as if not more one dimensional. He's nothing but a rage monster, a Hulk with metal claws only without the David Banner side. Take away his anger and rage and you take away the essence of what wolverine is. He is his anger and that's it.

I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with the worst x-man ever.

 

[Beautiful End]

Wolverine is always the right answer. To everything. In the world.

And don't try to counter this argument because Wolverine.

 

[Brad Gardner]

I never liked Wolverine that's just me. My favorite X-man is Nightcrawler. You want to talk about the irony of Beast. Nightcrawler is a devil looking thing that is a devoted Catholic and forgives all who hates him for the way he looks.

His powers are the best: Teleportation with a cloud of surfer, super agility, able to grab with his hand feet and tail, sticks to walls, can hide in shadow. Moreover, he knows how to use a sword and has combat medic training.

 

[Rakor]

Anime Wolverine ftw, as long as it's not the X-men anime Wolverine.

But nice reminder above here, I like Nightcrawler.

 

[Firefilm]

Glad you liked it, and yes, there will be a Halloween episode

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

How can you choose Gambit or Beast over Storm? If we're counting out Wolverine (since he wins by default in any "best" list), then Storm is the clear winner.

She controls lightning with her mind... think about that.

 

[Cybylt]

He has created clones of himself to travel to world and gather all it's knowledge and return to him once they have finished their journey. It's pretty awesome.

... Dr. McNinja?

 

[Gunjester]

gambit is a terrible x man
why do you like him, all the best xmen serve alternative functions outside of xmen he is just some crappy cajin character with a crappy power, that they do nothing with

You done your period yet?

are you done being sexist?
i don't think me reading marvel comics and seeing a shit character for who he actually is , makes me have a vagina, or having an opinion or should i just drone on and agree, don't bring sexism a forum about the best x man.

First off, umadbro? Seriously how does no one understand when people are simply trolling.

Anyways, I was one of the people fighting against all the crazy people during our huge sexism vs feminism debates, taking the side of the feminists any day over the others. Also it's not sexist, merely comparing you to the act of spraying blood all over everyone's good time with Gambit. Gambit's my personal favourite of the X-men though I have no illusions about his lack of significance or use, but you need to calm down, they chose their X-men and neither won. So calm the shit down, you spazz.
