[QUOTE=Uncanny X-Man;5592715]Yes and no. I adore Laura but Tom Taylor's run, which I loved btw, lasted as long as it did and sold as well as it did because the book was called "All New Wolverine". The other two ongoing X-23 books, including the very underrated Marjorie Liu-penned one, didn't do nearly as well. So I think it's a bit of a cheat in this case. No argument on Dazzler though, she wins fair and square here.[/QUOTE]
hello and thank you. x-23 popularity literally is due to her being a Wolverine derivative. she's literally his clone, there's nothing in that to brag or boast about when you take the xmen most popular character and then make a female version of him. I mean what do you expect? Popular yes, stand out hardly as the lack of originality respective to x-23 makes it extremely difficult to support her being a standout character.

Storm and Jean Grey! End of discussion! ;)
I voted for Storm. She is probably the most iconic of all the X-Men.
The stand-out is Storm. She's the most well-known and popular X-woman thanks to the Claremont run and the 90s cartoon. She's got larger than life powers and personality, at least when done right, which hasn't always been the case.
I don't like the way the OP is phrased. There are plenty of characters that draw readers and have that 'X-Factor' that just makes them amazing. Characters can break-out in the comics but remain virtually unknown because they weren't on the team at the exact moment the cartoon launched 30 years ago.
Storm, that is all!
YEESH. Psylocke is being totally left out. Grrr....

Which psylocke though. I ask because i wonder if writers like psylocke or the idea of a white woman in an Asian body being a ninja.

Well... as a fan thats not me. I never thought that and those who wanted more poc rep - there would not be outcry about the unmerging. So obviously the fans at least saw them as both Asian and English... Probably because they had each others memories. I don't know why the fans should suffer because of the writers faults. Kwannon should be Asian though and have the sword and Betts should get the butterfly and the Psylocke name because it was hers. This Betsy however is the breakout/standout among most writers I believe. :)

That's reductive. Laura is very much her own distinct character, that contrasts greatly with Logans (At least when being written competently.).
He's fire, she's ice; he's a samurai, she's a ninja; he's berserker, she's surgical and precise.
Though, it would be disingenuous to not acknowledge a modicum of coat tail riding.

That's disingenuous. We are talking about popularity a surfficial thing and Laura is popular because she is the female wolverine. That's basically it. She is a cool charachter with her own motivations and principles but her ultimate Crux to game is Logan.
My own opinion, Storm and Rogue.
While one of my faves is Jubilee, she is not a stand out like these other women.
I think that with more use and development, Magik will be up there as well.

It might have initially attracted interest, but a character does not retain popularity simply by being a copy; those are the ones that fade into obscurity and disappear.
She had her own ongoing and 2 mini series before adopting the title, and has had very little to do with Logan in her 16 years in the comics.

Most Psylocke fans, I know don't even read comics and just love her from TAS or the Capcom fighters.
I could show them a picture of Betsy Braddock right now and they'd be completely lost which is sad tbh.
I blame Jim Lee for his sexy art.
