    I wanna do a few of these but I'll start with X-Men, I want ppl to pick a team of X-men form there entire history that they think would be the best just to see what ppl would come up with. Lets limit it to 8.


    P.S.:I'm still thinking about it myself I'll get back to you when I'm done. Thanks for your time.

    Iceman (do I sound bias? hehe)
    Cyclops
    Wolverine (only with jubilee*)
    *jubilee
    Beast
    Jean Grey
    Forge
    Rogue or Bishop (can't decide)

    Might have also thrown in there angel storm and nightcrawler, but I never really could be bothered about angel at all. Storm is too much like an old mother :P and nightcrawler is great in ultimate or X-men Evolution, but he's too sanctamonious in the comic.

    The Wolverine Jubilee combination because it's always good to see Wolverine crippled by his love of that child, so that he can't always just go wild or think about going solo.

    Iceman is obvious, but after Iceman, cyclops was always my favourite x-man. Mainly because of the "Spiderman and his amazing friends" episode where they go to the X-mansion and get trapped in seperate rooms while trying to get to the attic to stop the bad guy.

    Beast as the OLD beast, not this new further mutated version. The genious blue furball was always great as he was....

    Jean Grey because in her blue and yellow outfit along with cyclops, she was always a great member of the team.

    Forge because of the events around issue 300-303 of uncanny X-men.

    Rogue or Bishop - well rogue in her green and yellow suit with brown flight jacket was always a classic icon, and with her younger unsure nature she was always a fun story arc. Bishop was always good in his earlier appearances as the kick ass and take names later lawman.

    All of the above are because of mainly the first few X-men (1992 edition) series, and events around Uncanny X-men 295-305. They were my formative X-men issues and they'll always stick with me. I don't think X-men has ever been as good as it was then.

    Heres what I'd go for.

    Cyclops
    Phoenix
    Forge
    Rouge
    Iceman
    Storm
    Gambit
    Polaris

    Cyclops: For fire power.

    Phoenix: Always handey to have a psychic around.

    Forge: You never know when a gadget man will come in handey.

    Rouge: For strenth, (Juggernaught & Colossus can't fly).

    Iceman: The new version is next to invinceable.

    Storm: Very powerful handey to have in a fix, (Halle Berry Mmmmm).

    Gambit: Always been my favorite since I first saw him and hes good at sneeking around and you can't have Rouge without Gambit.

    Polaris: Can do alot of damage in a fight.

    hmm a tough one lets see,

    Magneto (ha remember he led them for a short while)
    Colossus (the old throwing wolvie high trick)
    Wolverine
    Phoenix
    Bishop
    X-Man (or cable but I prefer x-man)
    Iceman
    Sunfire

    I'd like to see this team as it includes people with incredably strong powers (magneto, phoenix, x-man), along with a hard hitting physical duo (wolverine, colossus), then there are the other three whose powers will help take care of any other problems.


    can you just see it, magneto throws colossus and wolvie (both practically invincable, and definatly unbreakable), around making bits of whatever gets in his way

    Oh they're not unbreakable :)

    Have you ever seen the executioners song? Colossus gets nailed in the chest and ends up nearly cut in two. He can't go back to human form for ages while he heals.

    No he wasn't an X-man when he turned into Onslaught, sorry.
