I like Emma! Very classic lineup.

Storm- Leader
Gambit (he needs to break up with Rogue PERMANENTLY and realize his feelings for Ororo)
Sage
Manifold
Warpath

Non-combat support members: Cecilia Reyes, Beast, Forge (only if there is NO possibility of him and Storm EVER getting back together again)

Going to amend my list. I can go with Emma or Sage.

[mbm721]

1) Storm
2) Rogue
3) Psylocke
4) Wolverine
5) Havok or Gambit or Bishop

Support: Forge, Cecelia Reyes

[MYCMTSC]

Wolverine
Jean or Storm
Rogue
Monet
Jubilee or Dani Moonstar

[donpricetag]

Xmen Green To follow the pokemon thematic of the current xbooks.

Rogue Leader obviously
Emma Frost sudden best friend of Rogue co-leader working her issues with the xmen
Shirtless Clay Mann drawned Gambit
Young Scott
Black Widow (YUP)

That was pretty humorous.


Rogue
Wolverine (Logan)
Psylocke
Bishop
Gambit

Basically what Astonishing X-Men should be...

Support Characters (non-combatant): Cecelia (the reluctant but resourceful doc), Sage (logistics, overwatch, and strategy), and Forge (trusty tech-support)

[Outlaw22]

I want to do it like the 05 X-men, but make it random

Storm [Leader]
Venom
Gambit
Forge
Cypher

[JasonEsta]

Magneto
Polaris
Rogue
Nate Grey
Magik

[Dementia5]

Storm (all mohawky and leadery)
Jubilee (repowered + still a vampire, so maximum power set)
Psylocke (because Psylocke)
Laura (she can call herself whatever she wants)
Monet (freed from her clingy brother, obviously)

Chamber, Paige, Hollow, Roxy, Dani and Magik in frequent guest roles.

[oasis1313]

My picks:

Gambit
Cyclops
Psylocke
Monet
Maggott

[yogaflame]

My picks:

Gambit
Cyclops
Psylocke
Monet
Maggott

Maggot is severely underrated. Slugs that can eat through anything and give you super-strength? That's got to be one of the most creative powers in the canon.

I like the OP's choices I was gonna choose them myself but i'm gonna do something different.

Main character:
Jean Grey-Leader/Telepath
Storm-Second In Command/Powerhouse
Dazzler-Backup
Nightcrawler-Defense
Iceman-Powerhouse/Defense

Supporting Characters:
Sage-Tech Girl
Bishop-Supporting Powerhouse
Beast-Tech Guy
Angel-Supporting Defense
Psylocke-Supporting Telepath

[blinkingblah]

Storm (all mohawky and leadery)
Jubilee (repowered + still a vampire, so maximum power set)
Psylocke (because Psylocke)
Laura (she can call herself whatever she wants)
Monet (freed from her clingy brother, obviously)

Chamber, Paige, Hollow, Roxy, Dani and Magik in frequent guest roles.

I restrained myself from using Jubes and M. I love that a few of you guys are using M!!

[blinkingblah]

Storm- Leader
Gambit (he needs to break up with Rogue PERMANENTLY and realize his feelings for Ororo)
Sage
Manifold
Warpath

Non-combat support members: Cecilia Reyes, Beast, Forge (only if there is NO possibility of him and Storm EVER getting back together again)

Love anything that has to do with Storm and Gambit together! Add Jubilee and ill be set!

[Captain Nash]

I honestly had to think very hard and reorganized the team quite a bit. I wanted to go with five from my normal line up, but honestly doing that seemed out of place here as some of the connections just wouldn't fit as well. Although four of the five are from my normal dream line up, the fifth is not and three of the others are moved to the back up team. I also had the "main four" in at one point and removed some of them to revamp. Anyways:

Storm
Wolverine (Logan)
Rogue
Gambit
Bishop

Back Up:
Nightcrawler
Psylocke
Forge
Moonstar
Cecelia Reyes

At first I had some of the 05 in as backup/support but realized that didn't make sense. Much as Jean and Cyclops especially are "core" X-Men, if they're going to have a role in a book, even if not the flag ship book, they're not going to be reduced to supporting roles.
