X-Factor - Sage
Excalibur should be canceled
Sway would definitely be a great and useful addition to X-factor if she’s done partying with Gabe. Plus it would actual be interesting to see her on a team.
Excalibur needs a whole gut job. Get rid of Gambit, Jubilee and Rictor. Add new unseen Gorgon, Neal Shaara (give him a new code name), Petra (replace Rictor), Meggan and the rest of the Braddocks.
Considering X-Factor does investigations...I have no earthly idea why Banshee was not on that team to start with. Dude is an old school Interpol officer.
I think Rogue doesn't need to be replaced per say, but the book could use a general shake.
I"ll say it again: Excalibur would work best as a family crazy drama in Otherworld. Lost in Space meets Doctor Who with Betsy, Kwannon, Brian, Meggan, Maggie, Jamie and maybe also Chamber, Pete Wisdom or Pixie.
A picture would last longer darling...
Yep, 100% this. It's clearly the story Tini wants to tell. She's done nothing with Gambit, Rogue, or Jubilee. Let her do a Braddock family focus.
I really hope Gambit can tag along at least part time with Rogue in X-Men or go to Marauders. Leaving him on Excalibur makes absolutely no sense. I hated that they moved to the Lighthouse.
But I could see a large character scramble ahead and maybe even writing teams change? Books end?
Dunno.
I really enjoy this idea, although I think Betsy should still be leading Excalibur -- I sort of like this inversion as an important aspect of the Krakoa era.
But instead of the unappealing team we got, I'd continue the idea of inversing tradition. We have Betsy as Captain Britain instead of Brian. Who might be a fun replacement for Nightcrawler? Kitty Pryde? And so on, until I've put together a funhouse mirror version of the classic team.
-Pav, who wants Chamber working with Pete Wisdom...
You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.
"You're not the better one, Peter. You're just older."

You know who really needs more development? Petra and Sway. So Petra with x-factor and sway with Excalibur, I think that would be wonderful
