Who should replace Polaris on X-Factor and Rogue on Excalibur

[Master of Sound]

Now that the new Krakoa X-Men have been revealed and both Polaris and Rogue most likely will leave their current books, let just do this for fun.

Who should replace Polaris on X-Factor and who should replace Rogue on Excalibur.

It has to be a mutant (of course) and not a member of another current X-book.

Personally I would like to see Hellion enter Excalibur and Surge to enter X-Factor. Time for those former New X-Men to get an upgrade.

No one? You can remove both from their books and nothing would change

I think Excalibur will benefit from one less character, so no replacement needed. As for X-Factor, Tempo could work well there.

I would love to see Tempo somewhere! However I think Sway would be an excellent addition to X-Factor. Due to her ability to see residual temporal images.

Excalibur needs some whimsy. If we replaced Rogue (and possibly Gambit). I think Anole and Rockslide to get to the bottom of what happened with Rockslide's resurrection.

I said this about Sway in another thread in this forum! She'd be a great addition to X-Factor given her abilities, and would give her a place to shine since her return. I'm still not clear if Aurora's actually on the team or if she just watches a lot of TV in the Boneyard.

For Excalibur, I thought maybe Pixie (she's Welsh and she touches magic which would be perfect for Excalibur) but I know she's going to be featured in Way of X. Though with Rogue moving one, what the team needs is the glue of the team (she was a good friend to Betsy, not to mention Remy's wife) or physical strength (with Apocalypse still gone, they are in need of some muscle on the team).

If you want to go the more light-hearted route of Excalibur, like its earliest years, I think those two would work pretty well.

For me I definitely like the idea of Tempo in X-Factor. She has a quirky appeal and I def think the current version is more inspired by PADs than Simonson's.

Xcalibur - Pixie

X-Factor - Lifeguard

Let’s not add anyone to Excalibur, Tini doesn’t write for Jubilee & Gambit. Maybe this will force her to actually work them into the storyline for once

Excalibur: Rockslide (the real one)

X-Factor: Surge

I agree with this. I like having the Braddock family as the supporting cast in Excalibur.

I think you would have two less characters because I think Gambit leaves also

Ouch! True though.

I agree with not adding anyone new (to be ignored) and just focus on what they have.

Did Rogue actually do anything of note in excalibur besides the writer making her fall asleep the first few issues?

She got to keep Gambit and Jubilee company during their own naps.

If X-Factor continues they shouldn't replace Lorna, they should just give Aurora more presence.

Rogue should be 'replaced' by Meggan.
