    As a concept, I guess since mutants themselves are ones-men-armies (does this even work as plural? heh), you could even have several mutants embody military brigades, battalions, if not whole damn divisions. I remember being taught in the army that firepower is a unit. And mutants have lots... lots of firepower. And of course the Omegas are its A-bombs.
    The datapages of this army would be so much thrill.
    You forgot that Krakoa forbid precogs. But if anything, I could see Rachel (with her chronoprowess back) being their trusted and totally confidential precog. I could see naturally arising tensions all over it and it's glorious.
    Thing is if Betsy had those precog powers she would have to keep it quiet since its forbidden by Moira. But Xforce having its own precog and keeping it hidden definitely fits an Xforce mossad model and would just add further layers. Plus the precogs like Blindfold or whoever not being allowed on Krakoa but living in the outside world and possibly being protected by the Xcalibre or New Mutants/Gen X team we've been talking about also makes for some great intrigue

    maybe each season would have their own team (ie fall, winter, summer, spring) The leader of each should sit on the council. Have all different branches represented so Xmen, Xforce, Xfactor and Xcorps

    This was kind of my whole point. Fun lil challenge.

    Wasn’t thinking there’d be 12 books, but each would have a Court or entourage of mutants that would get in others’ way.

    Like, I want Wolverine, Psylocke and Gambit working for Hellfire Black.

    Amazingly balanced list ,kudos to you! Only gripe is with Jumbo Carnation this guy is not worthy of selection replace him with Mercury and the line-up is ACE!

    So many of the prominent mutants have ties to so many mutants its easy to imagine allegiances and groupings. I think using this concept it could be just 7 books. X-Men (Jean Grey), Acolytes (Nightcrawler's & Exodus' teams working in unison), Hellions (Sinister), Marauders (Emma, Shaw, Kate), X-Force (Storm), X-Factor (Magneto) and Akkaba (Apocalypse) with Mystique's Brotherhood and Xavier's Paragons rotating between titles and being active players within the larger narrative.

    What lineups would you suggest for the Quiet Council?

    Thank you! I'd have Jumbo in more of a supporting role anyways, rather than active in the field. I just love him being Emma's on-call fashion guru. Fits for Banshee, Blink & Mercury would be so dope too. I added Mercury to the line-up as I somehow missed her & Surge, after folding pretty much all of the other NXM into the line-ups.

    The entire rectangle is creepy and unnatural, not to mention being used for juvenile 'teehee, they're fucking!' teases. I've seen porn handle this better. You want to have something radical like your big stars deciding to enter into a poly amorous relationship, great. But put in the work and have it come naturally from the characters.
