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

Dear LORD what is the matter with her spine? And where did her ribs go?

Looks like that sword she got is too heavy and is gonna snap her in half, I will never get the appeal of the negative size waste to comicbook artist.

Banshee
Cecillia Reyes
Synch
Chamber
Dust
Mercury
Wind Dancer
Hellion

I especially loved DePhillips New Mutants/New X-Men book in the early to mid 2000s and CCs approach to Cecilia during Revolutions, though I liked her before.

This guy, this form is too cool to sit in limbo

God, i forgot about Hellion, Hellion and Cannonball.

Of the females Magma.

I considered Cannonball mainstream or I'd have added him because I felt his stint as an Avenger gave him major notoriety.

Dazzler
Banshee
Cecelia Reyes
Original Thunderbird
Synch

And I forgot Banshee. He's tricky. He is a classic ANAD member, though, and has been in movies. Not as little known as the others. I'll add him to my list.

Tangerine I found interesting. I would have liked to have seen more of her.

Yes! I loved the big orange 'fro! It is weird how I like obscure telepaths like Tangerine and Fixx even more than Jean or Emma. (Also weird that there are so few male telepaths, and those that are, tend to *also* be telekinetics, like Cable, Nate Gray and Quentin, as if, barring Xavier, telepathy by itself is considered 'too passive' or something for boys.)

I prefer his original purple pangolin form. Between Betsy, Unuscione, Armor and Quentin (and now Kwannon), I kinda feel that the whole 'create psychic colorful energy armor / weapons' niche is already full up, and there are exactly zero 'turn into purple pangolin' peeps out there.

On the other hand, if his ability turns out to have some actual connection to Hisako's psionic armor, which she has mentioned before has some sort of tie to ancestral memories or something, and it's all part of a bigger story to be revealed, like maybe something to do with this ancient 'mutant magic' that Apocalypse has been talking up recently, I'll take that back...

Oh I LOVED his original form. The purple knight look comes across as a little cheesy, plus physical exoskeletons are fun.

Banshee & Forge. The bromance that rebuild the X-Men after Fall of the mutants.

Maggot is awesome as well.

Always was a fan of Sunspot before his power upgrade. Rictor too when he isn't whitewashed.

[guy_gardner]

Sunfire...would have said Juggernaut...but I think the general audience knows who he is

Does Xorn count? Or is he really Magneto still? Or has that been retconned. I enjoyed Morrisons run but that was garbage and had me enraged and disappointed and it was just plain embarrassing. Loved Xorn.

There were lot f editorial mandates behind this mess. It wasn' just Morrison. I don' think kill Jean was his plan either for shock value.
