Which B or C-list character should get focus next

[Master of Sound]

Last year a few B or C-list characters that missed attention for a long time, received some cool focus since Krakoa started, like Sunspot, Thunderbird, Kwannon, Synch and Tempo.

There were some who seem to be completely forgotten since Krakoa started (some even longer), except for a cameo here and there. Which barely used character deserves some serious focus for the upcoming years?

Of course I could not name all, so I used the names regular mentioned on this forum. Forgive me if your favorite is not on the list.

Every year that passes without Mercury being a regular cast member of a book I question the X-Office's capacity to make sound decisions.

Hellion. I've mentioned it a few times, but there are so many potential stories for him

You could focus on the personal bitterness he feels towards the machines that ripped off his hands; Orchis even has a Nimrod, so Hellion might get flashbacks.

You could delve into Omega Senintel's buried human side, as she remembers Hellion killing her.

Hey, want Talon and Synch to have more drama? He'll be the Logan to their Jott. He even knows how to lurk creepily behind a tree, and how to make out with girls.

Anome is popular, and his attacks have looked anime-ish before. Go full DBZ with his moves and cash in on the trend.

If we ever get a Voices book about disabilities, he can headline.

Want some team drama, so people aren't all huggy-wuggy? Julian could start **** for no reason. Or go the opposite route - remember his character development and make him a mature figure.

He's an Academy X character. Is he an inexperienced kid? Is he an experienced adult? He's whatever you want him to be. We saw from Anole that you can jump between being a highschool graduate, CEO, a bartender, a preteen and back, all within a couple of months in-universe.

Jean could train him to improve his tk. Scott could train him to be an even better leader. Synch could train him to make out with a Wolverine without her accidentally biting his lips off.

Wind Dancer? We can make it a 2 for 1 special and bring her in. Or just continue the romance between her and Hellion. We could get a marriage issue out of it - sell a ton of variant covers, make it a Valentine's Day special.

He was right about Broo, about Karima, about robots, about the adults in power.He should be coming in and reminding everyone that they previously crapped all over him for being a hater, but he was right all along. They should be lining up to kiss his butt and apologize.

Canonically was forced to go out on a mission while recovering and still on painkillers. Let's do an addiction storyline.

Hell, let's do a body image storyline. Deal with how much he hates his robot hands, and have him come to accept them or do something about them.

I voted Phantazia and Magma, Petra& Sway, and Other.

Magma is seldom seen and Phantazia hasn't been seen since House of M. Petra and Sway should be a bigger dean considering canonically they are X-Men before Storm and Wolverine.

My other is a whole list, most of which would be considered Z, not B or C.

Heartbreak Hotel: Poltergeist, Link, Lucy, Kate

Gladiators: Alexander Flynn, Ivich, Max Rocker

Bi-Genes especially Lightbright

The Promise team

Changeling

Mimic & Michael Pointer

La Bandera

El Aguila

Auric & Silver

Vanguard

Rust, Mist Mistress, and the other Resistants

Vincent, Murmur, Bulvark, Nocturne

Windshear, Pathway, Goblyn, Feedback, Flashback, Marrina (alien mutant), Stitch, Flex, Radius, Murmur II, Ghost girl, Diamond Lil

Derrick Beacon, Primal I

[IN-a-Synch]

I voted Lifeguard because I feel her power and story wasn't fully revealed.

[Sutekh]

From the list, I picked Madrox, Hellion, Cannonball, Petra & Sway, Indra and Phantazia.

So many great choices! I'd definitely love to see more of some of the Alpha Flight mutants; Windshear, Pathway, Flashback (and his kids, the Munroe Twins), Marrina, Diamond Lil.

Others like Wind-Dancer, Scaleface, Unuscione, Catseye, Jetstream, Empath, Roulette, Jade Dragon, Oya, Evan Sabah Nur, Projecteur, Chrome, Gargouille, Dragoness, etc.

[Jesse James]

I’ve always been a sucker 4 AcademyX and XTreme, so obvious where my vote go 2

[Jesse James]

Also would love the return of most Acolytes and WinterGuard members and Gateway

[Starfish]

Danger also deserves some good stories after Krakoa screwed her over so badly, but since the X-Men don't deserve her help, maybe she could team up with Jocasta to reopen the Avengers Academy.

Totally of topic, but Danger should team-up with Jocasta indeed, plus Machine-Man, WarStar and Nanny (Magneto's robot)

[Soulsword323]

Husk always deserves better. Enjoyed her in Strain's Generation X, but she's had it rough as character between Austin's and Aaron's run. Also being killed off panel in House of X. Would love to see Paige get well written treatment one day.

Skin is too cool not to get more love.

Petra and Sway I think have a lot of potential as characters.

Dazzler deserves more respect, and should have more to do in general. Not just showing up as a poster in people's room.

Neal Shaara is hot, and I'd love to see him get a second chance (with a codename that works better for him).

Yup, I forgot to include The Hellions and Acolytes!

Oh and Antonio Argent (Magma's bf)

[CGAR]

I think from the OGs and the latino so I would like Magma and Skin to get some more love and focus. For new gen I want Hellion and Wind Dancer to get good story arcs.

In general it would be cool to see Lifeguard, Sway, Petra

[Kitty&Piotr<3]

Oya, Transonic, and Trinary.

We don't even know Trinary's name lmao

[Ramiel12]

Cipher and Skids.
