[K7P5V]

Definitely an encore from Alan Davis' Excalibur

[Purplevit]

Gambit by Nicieza and Skroce.

Gambit by Nicieza and Skroce.

OMG! Totally agree!
Honestly, I thought Nicieza was done after completing the first two issues.
But if there's a chance he could do more, then Gambit with Skroce would be my definite choice:

[shooshoomanjoe]

An untold tale of the Mutant Massacre and the X-Factor era when Iceman was dating Opal Tanaka because I loved to hate her boss Carmichael and I was a fan of the Morlock Mole.

[Dermie]

Definitely an encore from Alan Davis' Excalibur

Absolutely! Both his runs on that book (with Claremont, and then later on his own) were fantastic and it would be wonderful to revisit that era. I'm not sure if there are any dangling threads left unresolved, but there would surely be space to fit in an untold tale to flesh some of it out a bit more.

Gambit by Nicieza and Skroce.

Yes!! I loved that series, and there could be a bunch of things to address that were unresolved there--starting with whatever happened with Courier after the book ended.

I'd also love to see Peter David do a story with his 3rd X-Factor team (the Serval Industries group). The cancellation of that book definitely left some unresolved threads to tie up. I'd like to see more of Peter David with any of his three X-Factor runs, but the third one strikes me as the one with the most loose threads.

A dangling thread from Claremont's EXCALIBUR and NEW EXCALIBUR I'd like to see dealt with is Courtney Ross/Sat-Yr-Nin. In the original run Sat-Yr-Nin murdered Courtney and took her place, later becoming a new White Queen in the Hellfire Club. Then in the NEW EXCALIBUR run it was suggested that the real Courtney may have somehow been restored in the wake of House Of M's reality warping, but Brian was not yet sure if that was true or if it was still Sat-Yr-Nin trying to deceive him. Given the role that the Hellfire Company plays in Krakoa these days, it could be very interesting to revisit that situation and find out if Courtney is truly a mutant-sympathetic ally, or an evil villain with her own agenda.

[Phoenixx9]

1) Some stories of the original 5 with Havok and Polaris and a revived Xavier just after the original series ended and before the Krakoa story
2) Some new stories after the new team was formed (GS #1-99 specifically but even up through 128)
3) Some new stories with the Hellfire club (129-137)

[Sutekh]

2) Something right after Giant Size X-Men

An untold tale that happened before Thunderbird died and while Banshee was still a regular member could be fun.

4) A story within the first year of New Mutants

Could be a fun way to focus on the founding five, and not have the story be 'Ilyanna and her sidekicks' as most modern 'New Mutants' stories seem to be.

I've more recently wondered if Roberto ever called Sam out on the 'microaggression' of Americanizing his name and calling him 'Bobby,' when everyone else called him 'Berto. Same with 'Shan' just rolling her eyes and putting up with everyone calling her that, rather than her real name.

10) a Rogue Savage Land story

Also a Savage Land story dealing with the mutates, the machinery that Magneto used to make them (and left behind, and has been used since to make more Mutates, like Worm and Lupra), and perhaps Zaladane!

11) A Cannonball/Husk story

Ooh, a story about the Guthries in general! Jay, Melody and Jed (IIRC) have all also displayed powers, but Melody's 'flight aura' and Jed's blue 'cold plasma' lightning stuff haven't really been detailed, nor the other five kids potential mutations (although in the Age of Apocalypse Elizabeth was able to become a giant!), or even the tenth kids actual name! (Nor how the hell Lucinda manages to feed and cloth and pay the bills for 5-10 kids, without, one would presume, a millionaire sugar-daddy or a high-powered CEO position at Roxxon...)

And to add to your great ideas of some untold tales of the All-New All-Different crew, or New Mutants, or Generation X, an untold tale from the Academy X era, dealing with at least one of the less-used groups, like the Advocates or the Corsairs or the Paragons. Skip the actual Hellions and New Mutants groups, that we saw the most of, and focus on some we didn't see as much, like Wolf Cub and Match and Dryad and Specter and Loa and Bling! and Indra!

Claremont getting to pull the trigger on Raven and Irene as Kurt's actual parents, retconning Azzy into either a lying liar who lies or someone Raven duped big time. XD

[Wolverine12]

At some point I would like the lingering mystery from Nick Spencer's run on Ultimate X-Men addressed. I don't know if Legacy is the book that would/could happen in, but it's one of the only unanswered questions I care about. The other one is from JMS's Supreme Power but I don't expect that to ever be addressed.

[charliehustle415]

I would love to see the secret history of how Xorn infiltrated the X-Men during Morrison's run and I would like to see a two issue arc that shows the transition between New X-Men & Astonishing X-Men

[Exodus]

Can we please get Morrison to write an explicit NEW X-MEN story about why ERNST is indeed CASSANDRA NOVA!!!

It was such a brilliant setup that was never used again and forgotten. I haven't and think it is brilliant.

Ernst will always be Cassandra Nova to me.

I’m not very familiar with Ultimate X-Men. What kind of mystery was he setting up?

[Thundershot]

Oh yes! I loved the Davis run!

I don’t want him near the X-Books again.. he did some really wild stuff back in the day, but after rereading his run last year, I’m glad it’s over. Just my opinion..

Now... I would love some issues that form a bridge between X-Factor #70 and X-Men #1. That’s a totally unknown gap that I don’t think has ever been explored.

I want that so badly, but I really want it in the main book. I want Azazel erased, once and for all, a stake through that whole misbegotten, ill concieved, stupid plotline.
