The question speaks for itself. Who should move on and shine within the rest of the Marvel Universe?

I would say all characters who were treated better in books outside of it.
- Storm
- Cyclops
- Emma
- Sabretooth
These are the first that come to mind. All of whom had better runs in outsides books than anything in the X-books recently.
- Black Panther
- Champions
- Jessica Jones
- Iron Fist / Black Widow
Respectively

I always thought X-23 really didn't fit well with them, at least past her X-force era.
Context is king.
X-23's most basic surface level characteristic that any idiot should grasp: Stoicism.
I don't demand that her every minor appearance be a nuance in-depth examination of her character, but is it to much to ask she be written in Archetype?! This is storytelling 101! If you want people to stay invested in a character, you need to, at the bare minimum, write them such a way that they can plausibly be believed to be the same character!
I mainly put him given word from his fans. Right now, he's back on Uncanny where he's treated as the man who just ruins everyone's life and is never right. But hearsay says he's much more confident & better handled in Champions than he is in Rosenberg's Uncanny. And given the X-Office track record, I could easily believe that.
sunfire is fire namor and this silly franchise doesn't even realize it, to the avengers he goes
boom-boom would fucks with the gotg so hard
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
I odn't think any X-person has outgrown the X-men, but there a quite a few I'd like to see not be completely tapered by the franchise.
Like I'd have no problem with magik just hanging out with Mystic marvel for a couple years.
Domino could legit have a not insignificant run with Black Widow's Spec Ops
That probably speaks more about the state of the X-books currently than whether or not ANY character has outgrown the X-Men. As it currently stands, I'll let Gary Oldman run down the list of characters who would be better off in books outside the X-office.
I'm hoping things look better after Hickman's run.
Dark does not mean deep.
I think Illyana should become Dr Strange's backup/ongoing apprentice and move to his book for a while. Let her really explore the magical side of the MCU.
I would love it if Illyana got to be Sorcerer Supreme for a while, even if it's a 6 issue or 12 issue run.
I can agree, but sadly with the X-Office, there's just some characters they won't ever do good by. Because they don't see the appeal of said characters & don't care.
On another forum. Less active than here, so I am only occasionally there. The War of Realms lead to a topic about Creed's villain status, and someone made this post about how to go about making him work again.
I can agree. it's sad it comes to this, but this is the case for him if he stays with the X-Men. Hickman's scans don't show him in good light either.. LolOriginally Posted by InsipidLust
Storm is mostly wallpaper, and if not that, she's been depicted as barely competent. Then she was shown to be a terrible X-Men leader in recent years when that wasn't the case some time ago. Emma was apparently given more depth & noble traits in Jessica Jones, instead of the bi-polar psycho she's been for some years now. In Iron Fist & Black Widow, Creed was actually treated with respect.

Storm and Nightcrawler. I think NC would do great in the Avengers and Storm could do with a BIG change, like being more heavily entrenched in Wakandan mythology, doing stuff with Asgard, going to space, or leaning into the godhood thing. She has so much potential but she's been domesticated to a house cat. Colossus has, too, but I don't know where else he'd be useful and not just be iconic wallpaper. Perhaps--like Kitty--the X-Men have outgrown him.
Emma has also outgrown the X-Men but I think she should stay in the X-Books while dabbling in the greater MU.
