Worst 90's X-men villain?

[jignat]

While the x-men franchise exploded in the 90's into the mainstream, this decade saw a lot of villains some of who couldnt hold a candle to many of the greats.

Some were cool, but yet faded into obscurity; Some were ill conceived from the get-go.
Who would you say is the worst?

I grew up reading 17 x-books in the 90’s, so I have a soft-spot for the characters introduced in this era. One thing I hated was how out of the way they went to kill off 80’s mainstays the Hellfire Club, Reavers, etc. I guess if I said anyone was the worst, I’d say it was the Friends of Humanity. Had the potential to become something huge, yet was barely a blip.

I like everyone on the list personally, but I'd have to say X-Cutioner.

Stryfe was very 90's but in a fun way.

All of the Upstarts were great even if they didn't live up to their potential. Shinobi and Fabian still being used today shows that they still have something to offer.

Haven added another POC to the X-Men's rogues gallery, and she had a pretty neat look.

I have no strong feelings about Mikhail or Reignfire.

Reignfire should have been an actual real character, instead of a future version of Sunspot. It was a rather lame plot. Mikhail’s powers should have been better defined. Also his descent into madness was rather quick, and was a cheap way to get rid of the Morlocks.

? Reignfire wasn't a future version of Sunspot. That was probably the original plan, but it's not where the story ended up. Can't remember all the details, but he was a mutant who absorbed Sunspot's dna during an experiment, somehow.

Personally, I kind of liked the idea of Sunspot becoming the New Mutant's Magneto.

I thought Reignfire WAS actually Sunspot until it got retconned that it was some kind of parasite.

Siena was nasty piece of work but what a powerhouse. She took on both Xforce and New Warriors and knocked them all out with the exception for Speedball who is practically indestructible.

I love Fabian and Shinobi, although with Fabian it's more of a "love to hate him" deal. I'm glad to see them both getting some play in the X-books lately.

I thought Haven deserved some kind of redemption arc. She seemed like a genuinely compassionate person who thought she was doing the right thing while being misled by the Adversary (who was literally squatting in her womb using her to bring about his rebirth). Of course, what she was doing was causing mass deaths, but they've redeemed other mass-murderers (including people sitting on Krakoa's Quiet Council right now).

[Shadowcat]

Haven could be rebooted. Her message then seemed like what anti-vaxxers are now, not believing in the science, and going for an almost mystical approach to health and healing.

Fabian Cortez and Shinobi Shaw are babes, how dare you.

Was Haven always a mutant or did she get her abilities from The Adversary?

I think all her abilities came from the Adversary. She was a normal human who got pregnant with a demon, who stayed in her womb, gave her powers, and misled her into committing horrible acts. Although if they wanted to bring her back, they could retcon that she was always a mutant, and the Adversary amplified her latent powers.
