Screw the hatred. I still like the time displaced O5.

My favorite among the "real" ones has always been Warren.

I thought bringing the O5 back was a brilliant idea. I thought the series kind of went off the rails later on but I am looking forward to an O5 resurgence thanks to one of my favorite Marvel writers, Mr. Cullen Bunn. Oh and yeah, Jean Grey!

Really excited about xmen blue - anxm volume 2 felt incomplete without Jean.
I'm happy to see them all reunited again.Your favorite superhero- the one you visit these forums to talk about. Would they talk to others the way you do on this message board?

I LOVE the original incarnation (and original X-Factor). I HATE the current time displaced characters.
And my favorite character is:

I understand that - Bendis's run lost luster when Scott took off, and this last volume never really got off the ground. Losing either one seems to affect the dynamics more than anyone else for some reason. But then, it might be that either one is polling higher than the remaining 3 combined. Originally Posted by Grey

People need to understand that there is a difference between the O5 and the "current" time displaced O5.
The O5 were created by the kings of comics. They started it all. Without the O5 we wouldn't be discussing X-Men right now. They are a huge part of the reason we love X-Men.
I understand the frustration of having to deal with teenage versions of our favorite characters all over again. After all the character development and after all the years we matured with them, it's not easy and it's not simple.
Let's give Bunn a chance to show something interesting.
