So, if I'm reading this right...the theory is just Jean's line about "I'm always Jean, and I'm always the Phoenix" from Endsong writ large? The Phoenix Force retroactively became Jean Grey when it...

Especially since magic would expand what she can do for the people around her, which has always been Ororo's priority. Most of the other things you listed off would only really benefit her, and while...

I feel a little better after reading some of this thread.

I left CBR in 2017, back when Scott's characterization was...questionable...and he was also about to die. Compared to the way Hank's been...

I wonder if the creation of the elements is her unconsciously performing magic, and the manipulation of it is her mutant power (even suppressed as it is here)? Just a theory.

There's also an...

I was delighted when she used magic in SatB #2. I kinda want to see her explore more of that. Maybe since she's so well-stacked for offense in terms of her mutant powers, she could study white...

While I really like the reversion of Betsy and Kwannon to their original bodies, I don't honestly think becoming Captain Britain was good for her.

There are...

I see people calling him "the Doctor" and kind of chuckle.

His concept is very similar to Doctor Who, just with magic instead of aliens. Maybe that's why I like him so much...or maybe I'm a sucker...

From what I've been reading, Newton was also a Sorcerer Supreme? Like Dr. Strange?

...but that doesn't make sense, given that the ROLE of the Sorcerer Supreme is to protect Earth's dimension from...

White King - Professor X
White Queen - Jean Grey
White Bishop 1 - Cyclops
White Bishop 2 - Storm
White Knight 1 - Rogue
White Knight 2 - Gambit
White Rook 1 - Wolverine
White Rook 2 - Beast...

I look forward to a world without Wolverine, even if only for a little while. And I was on his side during the Schism.

Now I know what I'm doing after school tomorrow.

I. Am. So. Stoked!

Individually, there are perhaps a small handful of people who can take on Superman.

As a team...the X-Men's strongest advantage over him...they stand a better chance.

I think Storm, Jean, or...

Ditch the sheep (unless you like your lamb chops well-done, and tasting slightly of pumice), and you pretty much have her power set.

Fun X-Men books lately have included, IMO, Wood's all-female X-Men run and the Storm/Psylocke-led Uncanny X-Force (vol. 2). I liked both of those quite a bit.

I REALLY enjoyed Amazing X-Men and...

Gosh...I'm really late to the party. Most of my favorite characters have been spoken for (Jean, Ororo, Kurt).

So who's left to talk about?

I know...Psylocke.

Betsy Braddock is a great...

I remain utterly convinced that Storm has the powerset I would most dearly love to have.

Practically speaking, Wiccan-style reality warping would be the most versatile.

There's something to be...

Killing for them meant something, though. There were nearly always consequences. Colossus showed regret at having to kill Proteus, and when he killed Riptide, it was considered a bad sign for how far...

Bringing in Kitty, Kurt, Ororo, Jubilee, etc. would have been a chance to tell a good story featuring some family ties that have existed for longer than some of the new readership has been alive.

Thanks, Question. :)

Kitty is awesome, but it's impossible to decide if she should be on Team Globetrotters or Team Play Nice, so the Oracle idea came in. Don't worry though, I don't want her...

I GENUINELY need this to happen.

I may be on Team Fight-For-Charley's-Dream, but I've been sick of Logan since 2003 or so. His X-Forces and the JGS didn't help matters NEARLY as much as I'd hoped...

I really like Betsy and Kurt as friends.

Kurt flirts with everyone and everything, which is awesome, but I think Betsy's doing well for herself as the GENUINELY strong, independent woman everyone...

Mine's more a return to Claremontian and immediately post-Claremontian form:

Coordinator: Kitty Pryde. Acts as a pre-52 'Oracle' and keeps the teams in contact (with help on the technical side...

Gyrich was a government agent. They would have risked Open Season on Mutants being declared even sooner than it was, and this wasn't too long after Days of Future Past (the comic) so they were still...

She needs to be. When other black female characters come along who have her strength of character and personality, and stick around for more than one or two writers, then they can tone her down. But...

The Claremont/Miller Wolverine series should have given that away.

Anyway, I admit Claremont could get weird and fetishistic, but he always made sure the women in those situations were strong, and...
