Which previously dead X-Men got the best return story?

[ExodusCloak]

Magik hands down. A long process until she was fully resurrected, including the New Mutants volume written by Zeb Wells.

Oh yeah and the first time Scott died in Whedons run and he was returned using the souls pf 5 breakerworld beings sacrificed in his name. As confirmed in Gillens run

I'm talking about the recent returns, y'all lol.

Those sucked.

Although I liked Jean's POV for her story.

[TheCape]

Cyclops, at least it was quick and to the point, the others started interesting, but became a mess almost immediatly.

[Silver Fang]

I suppose Cyclops, by default.

Jean's was just kinda "here ya go" and possibly could've been done in less chapters.

Wolverine's has been WAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY too dragged out. The tanboyism of Marvel continues. I suppose they wanna cash in on him, but the extent they're willing to go is sad. So much effort should be used for other neglected characters.

Madrox isn't worth caring about, good or bad. Was anyone asking for him? They could bring back Destiny if they got time for ranfom crap.

[Tycon]

Out of the choices, Jean. There was a lot of filler but since most of it was catered to Academy X fans since they’re the only group that stays dead, I enjoyed it.

Out of all the X-Men, I have to agree with Magik. Quest for Magik barreling into X-Infernus, with Hellbound, New Mutants, and Uncanny almost bookending her return. She is one of the only characters to come back with a twist, and she’s technically not even the OG.

[Tenebrae]

Nightcrawler in Amazing X-Men.

[Mutant X]

Resurrections are stupid, so they should be made as simple as possible.
So Cyclops wins.

[Wiccan]

I guess you mean the stories should be simple, but when it comes to the method of resurrection itself, Jean's was the most simple one lol.

[FluffyCyclopsRLZ]

I don't get it. How is Xavier not utterly wrecking this poll?

The man was accidentally brought back as a straight up villain. By the writer who tried to pass off the Inhumans as the heroes/victims during IvX. You can't make up stuff like that.

[DarkMagnus]

Rogue.

she killed her almost stepdaugther.

[Mutant X]

I guess you mean the stories should be simple, but when it comes to the method of resurrection itself, Jean's was the most simple one lol.

I'm talking more about the event.

Scott's return took only 1 annual issue.

Jean's took 5 limited serie issues.

Xavier took 12 issues.

Wolverine I have no idea how long his return is taking. lol

[Fokken]

I'm loving how the Rasputins are kicking through this poll whether nominated or not. ha ha ha.

Y'all slay me.

VIVA RASPUTINS! Quest for Magik was glorious. Astonishing's Colossal revival was legit stunning.

They honestly deserve it. I wish we could get that level of care in writing back.

[Andru]

I came into this thread intending to vote for Magik, and then saw it was only the recent returns...Yeah, still voting for Magik.

Quest for Magik, X-Infernus, & Well's run on New Mutants were all excellent.

Well thought out and executed stories all superior to the options presented in the poll...sorry

[theoneandonly]

in various categories different returns would lead like
brevity and relative simplicity: Cyclops
Creepiness and predestination: Jean
epic shadiness and body snatching: Xavier
Convolutedness and trying out the patience of reader: Wolverine
