    Yes I think Jean should be there especially if it's a romance. I really want them to both finally explore what was denied to them both for so long.

    I'm wondering if this may have something to do with Madam Viper. Remember UXM#172-174?

    Written by Jim Zub, art by Chris Bachelo. I don't know this Zub, but people in the other thread seem to think he's good. Bachelo can be good, I liked his Curse of the Mutants Storm and Gambit one shot, but he does get sloppy/indistinct sometimes, and I hope to the Goddess they don't let him color!

    Agreed, Jean's humanity did temper the Phoenix's powers, holding it back so that Xavier could win, but I was just referencing his ability to fight Dark Phoenix on all the infinite planes of existence simultaneously. That statement right there just goes to show why Xavier is the King Telepath only contested by the likes of Legion, Shadow King, and a Phoenix Force hosting TP. That said, I don't recall Iceman, Jean, or Magneto doing anything global that can compete with Xavier's feat without some external source of power (Magneto's machines, Cerebro, Cerebra), item (death seed), or being (Phoenix Force) boosting their abilities. IIRC, when Xavier connected with all 8 billions Skrull minds across a planet and tranferred their collective fears, hopes, and dreams to Galactus, whom he was talking to at a distance from the planet to its moon, he did so withhout anything boosting his powers.

    Edit: Also, in the story where Shadow King mind controlled 5 billion minds across the planet, he stated Xavier to be the only threat to him in power. So, that means Xavier should also be able to mind control billions of minds if all of the telepaths and mystics were rendered powerless. (If they had retained their power, they would have ganged up on SK when he attempted this feat and he would have lost to their collective might.)

    Also Astonishing X-men had Xavier fighting the shadow king as a spirit for centuries if time on multiple places of existence.

    Zub wrote the last 7 issues of UnCanny Avengers and is writing parts of Avengers No Surrender. He writes Rogue really well.

    We all miss his storm..

    I've started uncanny x-men back from issue 1 and man were the X-Men different. Xavier read more like a dictator than a respected teacher, and his secret crush on Jean.. Yuck.. And Xavier considered Cyclops his most powerful student??? Jean barely able to lift hank and live-in cook when the maid wasn't their? My have times changed.

    That said, of the 20 listed, I would arrange them as follows:

    1) Storm- Easily the most powerful on the list.
    2) Nate Grey
    3) Xavier
    4) Magneto
    5) Magik
    6 and 7) Darwin/Jean Grey (tough call)
    8) Iceman
    9) Rogue
    10) Monet
    11) Sunspot
    12) Warpath
    13) Colossus
    14) Cannonball
    15) Havok
    16 and 17) Cyclops and Wolverine (hard to say)
    18) Archangel
    19) Jubilee (she would be ranked higher if she were at full potential, but since not everyone is at full potential, I don't do so with her)
    20) Cypher
    Well we have two who think Storm should be number 1. I can dig it!

    Yes, those stories drove the X-Men to cancelation.
    Some of us wait, some of us act.

    Others seem to be asking why Fox would push a Kitty movie before Storm:


    https://www.elitedaily.com/p/x-men-s...mutant-8212061

    The only question that fans have is why Kitty Pryde and not the character Storm? With the huge media storm around*Black Panther*at a fever pitch, one would think 20th Century FOX would try to take advantage and announce a Storm stand alone, especially since she eventually marries T'Challa in the comics.


    I can think of a couple of reasons.

    I read the original run a couple years ago..... let's just say it's a miracle they lasted long enough to be revamped by Wein/Cockrum/Claremont et al.

    Magneto was even a telepath. I guess I'm enjoying the whole nostalgia of the stories but they do read pretty bad. Some panels they had the wrong character names and a lot of it is driven by how "dreamy", a character looked. Wasp fawning over angel, angel fawning over scarlet witch and Jean, Jean jealous because scarlet witch is internally fawning over cyclops lol. A mess.

    The fact people said that about Kitty is VERY VERY EMBARRASSING.
