Rachel Grey
Chamber
Rictor
Pixie
Pete Wisdom

Fallen Angels:
Kwannon
Daken
X-23
Cable (adult)

X-Force:
Sage
Wolverine
Domino
Colossus
Feral
Shattestar
Marrow

New Mutants:
Moonstar
Magik
Jubilee
Quentin Quire
Hellion
Karma
Mondo

[Harpsikord]

I agree with keeping the same general premises but changing rosters up a bit.

X-Men: This team stays as a rotating cast, but there's a mainstay cast that comprises of:
Cyclops
Jean Grey
Storm
Wolverine
Bishop
Trinary
Magneto

Marauders:
Nightcrawler
Rogue
Gambit
Boom Boom
Rictor
Revenant (Rachel Grey-Summers)
Pyro


New Mutants:
Magik
Sunspot
Mirage
Chamber
Wolfsbane
Cypher
Magma
Penance (Monet)

X-Force:
Wolverine
Karma
Warpath
Domino
Banshee
Colossus
Frenzy
Quentin Quire

Excalibur:
Captain Britain
Glorianna
Britannic
Dazzler
Wisdom
Juggernaut
Excalibur

I may have put X-23 on X-Force. A “Mutant CIA” falls right within her skill set, and honestly isn’t far from an idea I’d already had for X-Force as a counter-intelligence squad.

What exactly are the premises of Excalibur beyond 90s X-men Blue in England, and New Mutants beyond class reunion highjinks in space?

What exactly are the premises of Excalibur beyond 90s X-men Blue in England, and New Mutants beyond class reunion highjinks in space?

Excalibur appears to be a fun magic type book with more or less the 90s Blue team and New Mutants is LITERALLY that mixed with "The Search for Cyclops, but it's Cannonball instead."

[CRaymond]

New Mutants: mutant intelligence, mutant rescue, global crises
Storm, Nightcrawler, Magik, Rachel Summers, Darwin, Wiz Kid

Marauders: Lila’s new band
Lila Cheney, Strong Guy, Warpath, Bedlam, Dazzler, Trinary

Fallen Angels: criminal reform team
Cyclops, Wolverine, Rogue, Psylocke, Blob, Frenzy, Toad

X-Men: NYC mutant team
Colossus, Iceman, Avalanche, Stacy-X, Darkveil, Dr. Cecelia Reyes

Excalibur: “uncanny avengers” team
Captain Betsy, Kylun, Scarlet Witch, Agni, Bishop, Dark Angel, Death’s Head

X-Force: mutant black ops, espionage and mission impossible
Sunspot, Moonstar, Manifold, Boom Boom, Rictor, Chance, Shola Inkose, etc

This thread is kind of similar to the one I created. I think mods could merge them, as the rules are close:

https://community.cbr.com/showthread...ave-1-line-ups

[CRaymond]

Yeah I tried playing by your rules, but I couldn’t :-(

[Sin Nick]

X-Men - Storm(leader), Wolverine, Bishop, Rogue, Gambit, Jubilee, Psylocke(ninja).

I've seen some complaints of the roster(s) chosen for the books and I thought about having a thread about changes you'd make when choosing the line-ups. To keep this a bit different than other threads asking to create your own line-ups, I've gonna have to give the suggestion/guideline to only use characters already announced or used in a book already. Also try not to add or subtract too many members from a particular roster. Otherwise, have at it.

That said, I'll go first.

X-Men
No changes, it's a rotating roster.

Marauders
Gambit (leader due to nature, Storm basically is leading though)
Storm
Rogue
Kwannon
Moonstar
Pyro

Mission Statement; same as before, but powered by the Thieves & Assassins Guild instead of the Hellfire Trading Company

X-Force
Sunspot (leader, bringing back the AIM connection)
Bishop
Emma Frost
Sage
Domino
Wolverine
Cypher

Misson Statement; same, but more members clearly associated with espionage, information gathering or black-ops

Excalibur
Psylocke (leader)
Wolfsbane
Chamber
Colossus
Magik
Black Tom
Mondo

Mission Statement; same, now full of Europeans! Also magic.

New Mutants
Jean Grey (leader)
Iceman
Beast
Shadowcat
Karma
Jubilee
Rictor
Quintin

Mission Statement; less of a rescue Cannonball mission, more of a teach new generation of mutants who might also go to space for some reason!

Fallen Angels
Kid Cable
X-23
Apocalpyse

Misson Statement; same edgyness, more Apocalypse x K!Cable drama.

Excalibur, to me, has the same problem new mutants does;; namely, Rahne Sinclair.

Those are meant to be guideline, but feel free to ignore them as you wish.
It's not like the other thread's suggestions were being followed to a T.

Btw, love your team, especially the amount oF LGBTQ representations.

That one is my favorite too! I wanted to challenge Colossus with leadership and Iceman with connectivity, and then give them the worst cats to herd. Avalanche as My Big Fit Greek Daddy, and Stacy-X as a crackwhore with a heart of cold. I still need to workshop a better name for non-combatant Darkveil, and decide who should do psychic comms: Karma or Cuckoos.
