    I would do a Trinity type book

    Dani, Ilyana, and Valkyrie

    Lots of quests and fleshing out, mixing Xmen and Asgard type fantasy.

    Immonen and Schiti. Please. Guest starring Sif, Wolfsbane, Excalibur, Doug and the other New Mutants.

    My first choices all already had shots at solo series (Bishop, Gambit, Nightcrawler), and I decided if I got to choose the lead in a new series I'd rather see someone who hasn't really had a solo book, so I chose Beast (I don't count his mini in the 90s or Amazing Adventures). I think a solo could be used to get back the old Hank McCoy, redeem him a bit and he has ties all over the Marvel Universe (Avengers, X-Men, Defenders, best friends with Wonder Man, etc) which could lead to some really fun stories

    Gambit, Nightcrawler and Bishop are good choices. Those are the only ones where I could see a solo maybe working with the right creative team and direction.

    What would Polaris even do in a solo? That's the thing she has been always basically existed as more or less an appendage of other characters be they Havok, Magneto, Wanda and so forth. She is defined essentially by her relationships.

    I would buy the shit out of a solo book with this guy in it. I know that will never happen though, and it makes me a little dead inside.

    She should be but having two roles in seperate books on different ends of the company (Avengers and X-Men), I dont see room, but hey... OML and Deadpool are in like 4 places at the same time. Why Not Rogue?

    ...I don't think anyone else would though. Maybe a miniseries with the rest of his family (Magik and Mikhail), but his personality hasn't ever really jumped off the page. He got the short end of the powers stick too compared to his siblings. Magik is naturally sensitive to sorcery can teleport between time, space and dimensions and Mikhail can warp reality to the point of punching a whole in space... Colossus turns to metal.

    Yeah....I get it. He's not popular, but he's the reason I have multiple boxes of X-Men comics, so I have a soft spot for him. I think that instead of making him everyones bitch, someone should upgrade him to the character he should have been quite some time ago. I'll just stop right there though so I don't have to hear how boring he is to everyone else.

    I really liked him as Juggernaut.

    I think he's a victim of complacent writers. He's the tank and never evolved past that except for his time before and after AvX. Before when he had Juggernaut powers which basically meant he was somewhat possessed by a demon and then afterward when he had every intention of killing his sister for allowing him to stay in that state (because in her realm she could have reversed it at anytime but chose to teach him what real darkness felt like... that was really effed up.). If there was a time for him to have a solo series, even a limited one, it was then when he had some dark issues to work out. Instead they kind of did it all off panel and let him pound Domino until he was happy-go-lucky good ol' boy Colossus again. Perhaps if they wrote an arc where it's revealed his armored form blocks magic used against him and he has to go on a quest to nether realm to save someone or retrieve something connected to his past darkness... In his defense, he was one of my favorite parts of IvX, and I literally hated all of that story after issue 2... he looked sick walking out of the fire.

    I like and appreciate Piotr. There are another stuff to develop around him beyond his romance with Kitty, his strength or his family, for example his painting skills (he became a sort of celebrity when he came out amnesiac from the Siege Perilous, remember?) or his political background (I'm thinking of UXM vs. Alpha Flight or his limited series by Nocenti & Leonardi --yes Colossus had a mini a long time ago).

    Enough for a solo? It needs a writer with some creativity, just like any other character.
