Now that Wolverine is confirmed out, and Oya seems mia, this sausage fest is in dire need of some healthy estrogen asap. So who should Bunn bring in to the team?
I'm leaving the poll multiple choice but try to pick 1-2 gals an explain why they should join up and what exactly they'll bring to our tired old 5ers.
I think the Cuckoos would really fit there since there's Magneto as the mentor and they may be under the Hellfire Club. And Hope's dynamic with the O5(Scott and Jean basically) would be interesting, plus I like them, so yeah.
I dunno, I feel like if you're going to do flashback teen X-Men, you have to keep with the theme. If it's not any of the 1960's/70's characters (Wanda? Polaris?) , then it just seems off.
I wouldn't mind The cuckoos, I really enjoy their actions with Jeen itd be nice to see them hang out with the rest of the o5 again also. I wouldn't mind Surge or Armor either since I miss those two dearly lol
The Cuckoos or Dust.
The Telepathic Trio have a long history with the O5 as team mates. Dust would add lacking non-white, non-Christian, non-Western perspectives to the O5.
Dust or Armor
Pixie or Skids.
I'd throw in my picks:
[b]Pixie[/b] A great character who has served on the "grown up" teams before and I think would fit right in with the O5. She's cute, fun, vivacious but also a tough kick-ass X-Man when the need arises. Story wise Megan could serve as a natural love interest for Scott (having had an infamous crush on his older self), she has ties to occult magic that Hank's started dabbling in and logicistally she'd be great as team transport (sorry Pickles). I think her status as being the new fresh X-Man for a stint also contrast with and reinforces some core themes with the others being out of time.
[b]time displaced teenage SAGE[/b] Because come on. This how it always should have been.
Don't want to see anyone take a dive like that.
Pixie for all the reasons DDM listed. She'd be a natural fit.
Otherwise, Oya would offer some continuity between ANXM and Blue. I may despise ANXM but I like continuity.
DUST!!!!
or Claremont's brilliant creation Ziggy Karst.
Pixie would be good. I got randomly attached to Mercury so I'd be all for her getting more to do. One thing is that early on it was said she could potentially do whatever the T-1000 could, and would like to see that followed through with her managing to change to a human-looking form and the potential drama from that.
IIRC Bunn mentioned a sixth member is coming and many assumed it will be X-23. Additionally I'm hopeful that, in one of the things I like about EXM, is that eventually a distinct group of X-kids and support staff coalesced over time and might do the same here which expands beyond the main team a bit.
Teen Sage is a pretty novel idea. Reminds me of when I entertained the idea of importing either the first All-New All-Different team wholesale from the past, or as teen versions of them lol
Pixie, Surge, and Armor are my top picks.
Dust, Shark Girl, Creep.
Get some color in this sh_t. Geezus, it's 2017.
And Transonic just because I like her.
Either Oya or Armor.
I honestly don't see why Oya left. Was it just so it could be marketed as an "O5" book? Because she really fit in Hopeless' All-New X-Men and I liked her dynamic with Bobby. I like Armor on the team because I'd like her mentoring the team. Also, Magneto and her butting heads over how to handle situations that arise could be a real treat.
