Should CAROL DANVERS Finally Join the X-Men??

[Park Slope Pixie]

She was of ancillary x-character status, like Firestar, Cecelia Reyes, and Polaris.

PROTIP: Feel free to skim these characters' dialogue and appearances, content in the knowledge your mastery of essential canon will not be compromised.

[Park Slope Pixie]

Eh, she was a better fit with the Starjammers than the X-Men.

Bite your tongue. The Starjammers jettisoned her like Sikorsky's waste package.

[IdaqiBeauty]

Yeah she was when she shared a body with Rogue.

o

She didn't "share" a body with Rogue. Rogue had her powers and memories - an illusion of a personality, but it was all rogue. And and that illusory personality was unwanted.

[The Observer]

I think that it was a real shame, during the period that Professor X was in space after UXM #200, that there wasn't a Starjammers ongoing. With the existing Starjammers, Xavier and Carol Danvers/Binary also, it could have been interesting, plus it would have been a way to keep Xavier active even while Claremont wanted to go in other directions (first the Magneto as Headmaster era, then the Outback X-Men).

Carol SHOULD HAVE BEEN co-captains with STORM on an Uncanny Avengers Team, if they actually wanted that sh!t to work.

On the one hand, yes. This would have been cool. UA started before her mind was fried, right? So with her friendships with several of the X-Men and being a long standing Avenger, it would have made sense for her to be on the team.
On the other hand, I am sooo not a fan of how the unity team has been written, so it's probably good that Carol and Ro were far away from the book.

I would like that, she is one of the few avengers that i dont hate.

That Bendis scene is hilarious. "Carol join us" isn't a line spoken with a remote interest in actually having her as an ally.

Yes, exactly. It's vicious.

Does she even remember being friends with the X-Men anymore? I thought that was "raped" out of her in the latest mindwipe. Seriously, when are they going to stop going down this heinous road with Carol?

Anyway... her X-ship sailed about 30 years ago.

[Fokken]

On the one hand, yes. This would have been cool. UA started before her mind was fried, right? So with her friendships with several of the X-Men and being a long standing Avenger, it would have made sense for her to be on the team.

Well yeah, exactly.
If they wanted the team to WORK, and not be some mismatched cluster feck of guilt-ridden mutants and pompous avengers, they SHOULD HAVE given the job to Carol and Storm.

In MY mind -- sorry for derailing things -- the Uncanny Avengers SHOULD HAVE recruited:
Co Captains: Carol and Ororo
Avengers: Vision, Thor and She Hulk
X-Men: Beast, Emma Frost and Nightcrawler.

They could have easily found plenty of snark potential with those characters (especially with Beast, Emma, Kurt on the X side, as well as Carol, Vision and Thor on the A side) and it wouldn't feel so forced and/or hellbent on hemorrhaging every other panel.

Missed opportunity.

[MyriVerse]

I'd rather Rogue than Shulkie. I think Rogue was the absolute most perfect choice for a member, and she's definitely lived up to it.

[Park Slope Pixie]

uh, carol, join us? you know, you're here, it's kinda rude not to at least offer a courtesy invite...

[Mr. Brightside]

Yeah she was when she shared a body with Rogue.

o

At best, she was an unwanted squatter.

No. NEVER. She's a horrible person.

That as an understatement. One of the generals for Nazi Stark's Civil War should not touch the X-men.

[Vegeta]

Didn't Emma already call her out for not helping the mutants in Genosha or something? Doesn't seem like the X-Men would want her. Plus, she had no problem following orders like a good soldier and rounding up her former friends during Civil War. Too much of a government lackey to suddenly up and side with the mutant revolution unless she's trying to bring them down from the inside.
