I’m surprised Warren didn’t get a seat.
Just to watch him sit across from Apocalypse. But I can see Kitty being the only one from her generation given a seat.
The council needs more female members anyway. This ain’t the Avengers.

??? Avengers not only have a large, diverse group of women on their team, many are leaders. For example, Janet van Dyne, She-Hulk and Black Widow. It's so weird with the rivalry with the Avengers, as if giving them any credit somehow wounds the X-men. What's strange is that the women on the Council are overshadowed by the men, even Emma Frost. Maybe she should be leading the Council, she's more interested in democracy than Xavier is. I agree with you that they need more women on the Council.
I'd love that, watching the political goings on of Krakoa would do wonders showing that the mutants on Krakoa, while unified under the same goal, aren't some homogeneous cult or something. the title if done right can showcase Krakoa as an actual complex nuanced social structure; an actual nation. a Quiet Council book could really flesh out Krakoa's actual culture

THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki
also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.
currently following:
- DC: Red Hood: The Hill
- Marvel: TBD
- Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force
"power does not corrupt, power always reveals."
5 out of 12 seats were women. The council wasn’t lacking in female representation
honestly the women on the council routinely outshine the men . except Sinister and sometimes Magneto
How are they any less diverse than the women X-men leaders? The majority of the white Council are white and rich, aside from Storm. Dani Moonstar was a rising leader but she's not a Captain, Illyana did. Emma Frost, and Jean Grey are the main woman leaders, and Mystique is a wild card not a loyal X-man and whenever she was on their team she wasn't calling the shots.
C'mon let's not pretend like outside of Carol any Avenger Woman has had any leading role in recent times, and let's not pretend they weren't outshined by the likes of Black Panther, Iron Man and Captain America in any major event or situation.
Storm, Jean, Psylocke, Rogue, Emma, Kate and Dani were all leaders on their own right in their titles. When have She-Hulk or Janet had a whole team and book in which they were leaders?
The Councilwomen have all had important roles or time to shine. Exodus hasn't done anything yet, and Sinister has just given them the samples as of now. Storm, Jean, Emma and Kate are much more prominent than Kurt, Exodus, Sinister or Shaw. The big 4 are still Apoc, Mags, Xavier and Moira, but that's because they hold the big secrets that glue the plot together.
The Wasp used to be that way in the mid-80s.
Even pro-mutant elite Magneto was attracted to her.
But with the exception of Avengers Forever, she hasn’t been that way in decades.
You would think as a founding member, Wasp would have made her own Avengers spin-off team a while ago. Especially since, unlike the other founders, she’s not preoccupied with events of her own solo book.

I think She-Hulk led A-Force. Which had so much potential ugh may she rest in power
Janet is honestly such a fun character idk why the Avengers books don't use her more..I've seen people say its because she isn't feminist enough but that feels bogus to me
oh yea I agree its probably the reasoning I just think its bogus reasoning lol
the idea that femininity isn't feminist...I could go off but I won't lol
fashion designer = businesswoman = #girlboss and isn't that all the rage? not that that angle hasn't been done to death and occasionally butchered by brands who want to up their "diversity quota" without doing the work to understand what people actually want, I just mean it wouldn't be hard to "retool" her if they wanted
I dont think the infamous hank pym slap helps her at all either they really wanna act like that never happened...
