What if the “first” team is a bunch of badasses who’re immediately killed or apprehended, necessitating their leader to get the original band back together to save them?
Like START with an X-Force of Kwannon, Bishop, Thunderbird, and Wolfsbane, led by Wolverine.
Then have him collect the classics: Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Cyclops.
The thought I had when I first started thinking of this would be, say they want to introduce the X-Men a la Spider-Man, in a guest spot ahead of their own film. I'd have some sort of O5 show up – though, honestly, might tweak the line-up or expand the numbers a bit – in a different movie. And then have their first movie be a riff on All-New, All-Different; the team from their first appearance gets captured, a new team is rallied to rescue them. Again, I'd play lose with the specific line-up.
Storm leader
Xavier
Rogue
Jean
Cyclops
Jubilee
Gambia
Wolverine
Bobby
Closus
Others
Psylocke Kurt and magik/kitty
Cyclops, Angel, human Beast, Iceman, Marvel Girl, and Firestar (she'd probably end up blond or brunet).
My starting 5 is
Cyclops
Jean
Storm
Iceman
Colossus
Reading List (Super behind but reading them nonetheless):
DC: Currently figuring that out
Marvel: Read above

Other: The Antagonist, Something is Killing the Children, Avatar: TLAB
Manga: My Hero Academia, MHA: Vigilanties, Soul Eater: the Perfect Edition, Berserk, Hunter X Hunter, Witch Hat Atelier, Kaiju No. 8
Storm
Bishop
Cyclops
Wolverine
Jean Grey
Nightcrawler
Then addition of Rogue & Gambit
Cyclops
Dazzler
Northstar
Sunfire
Armor
Quentin
Bishop
Definitely no Jean. She’s too Wanda and has baggage.
No Logan, Xavier or Magneto. Too overused.
No non-human looking Mutants or excessive CGI.
Haven't looked over all the responses, though I'm sure most people here have suggested the 1975 team with a few of Claremont's own creations, with some suggestions for the 1963 team, since those though would anyone here agree with the suggestion of incorporating some of the New X-Men members from 2006?
