Avalanche. Done deal. But they almost got me the young options. Surge. Armor. Bling. Gentle.
Damn Marvel.
Wheres Hellion and Wind Dancer???
Monet or Surge.
If this is the NYC team then definitely.
Surge needs to win this. I adore Monet, but she has gotten some spotlight recently even thought she wasn't written so well.
Surge has been a background character since NXM ended. The girl deserves some focus. To think she seemed like one of the team's most promising characters and then Marvel just completely ignored her for more than a decade.
I'm giving it to Surge because she needs it more. Monet is great (outside of X-Corp), but she's had more luck finding spotlight and getting into books. If she doesn't get this vote, I'm sure she'll still find something.
Headcanon: Hellion proposed to Wind Dancer and they're getting married. The two are currently in Venezuela so Hellion can meet her non-dead family.
Jean Grey in the words of Walt Whitman, from his masterpiece Leaves of Grass, "Song of Myself" (51 and 52):
"Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)"
"Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you."
The list is poo, but I'd be happy with AVALANCHE, Penance or Firestar.
I voted for Firestar, but I wouldn't mind seeing Siryn or Surge (who basically disappeared after New X-Men ended), join. Hell, I would love to see Micromax make an appearance. But most likely Monet will be the new member.
Oof this was tough! I adore Siryn and I think Firestar would be a great addition as she of course has been a public hero for a while.
But I went with Monet in the end! I'm not shipping her and Ev, I just want to see them on a team together again.

I think Firestar Monet or Siryn will win. But my vote will go to Surge as it about time she gets focus.
I do wonder for what series this will be though.

Is it bad that the primary reason I want Monet to win is potential love triangle drama with Synch and Laura? lol
Uggh! None of them are what I would vote to be in X-Men.
Why can't Marvel give us an open-ended list instead of these C-graders?
I was hoping Northstar or Iceman to be in the list.
