    Default Who are your favorite "non-mainstream" X-Men?

    The X-Men have many characters, but some are so popular that they dominate the answers of "Favorite X-Men". While what qualifies as "mainstream" will vary based on the person, I'll let you judge for yourself. Generally, if they're on a '90s Jim Lee poster, they probably wouldn't count. These are people that some rando on the street or someone with only a superficial knowledge of X-Men are likely unaware of.

    I'm talking about characters such as:

    Warpath
    Wolfsbane
    Blink
    Marrow
    Forge
    Longshot
    Sage
    Bishop
    Chamber
    Cannonball
    Maggott

    I think you get the idea. Also, not just the X-Men, but their various splinter teams count as well.

    So who are your favorite non-mainstream X-Men? Discuss.

    Longshot. Hands down. One of my all time favorite characters, if not THE favorite.

    I also have a love of Forge and a soft spot for Maggott.

    From the X-Men, Marrow. I remember that comic that fights with Wolverine and she is awasome on that time. It's a shame that Alan Davis change that character on his run.

    Outside the X-Men comics, Firestar and Justice from the time of the New Warriors, great dynamics between both and the rest of the team.

    Non-mainstream?

    Sunspot. Moonstar. Madrox. Monet. Hellion. Dust. Wind-Dancer. Genesis. Indra. Loa. Bling! Shark Girl. Goldballs.

    Oh yeah, my tastes are eclectic as hell, and I like some from just about every generation.

    Edit: Forgot Wind-Dancer!

    Although X-23 is sort of on the borderline at this point. She'll have a lot more recognition outside comics fans after her appearance in Logan, however a lot of that is still just as "the girl from Logan."

    If we’re talking characters that never made it to an X-Men labeled squad:
    Captain Britain & Meggan
