Last week during the All New X-Men #27 thread, a few folks were mentioning how that fans weren't too thrilled about the Future Brotherhood, and pointed out that fans haven't seemed to rally around many original villains in the X-Men universe in the past 10 years, thinking back to Cassandra Nova as the last threat that people seemed to enjoy. And a poll thread on the subject was going to come up...
Since Grant Morrison left the X-Books in June of 2004, leaving both Cassandra Nova and Sublime as his completely new villainous creations, a decade has passed. Many other creators have come and taken a crack at creating new villains, but perhaps not with the same level of success. The following are some of the faces we've seen:
- Children of the Vault
- Shi'ar Salvage Pirates
- Ord & the Breakworlders
- Evolutionaries
- Vulcan
- Immortal Man of Tabula Rasa
- Diskhord
- Kid Hellfire Club (Kade Kilgore & Co.)
- Hellfire Academy Kids (Snot, Mudbug, Tin Man... Infestation)
- Golgotha
- Kaga
- Animax
- Miss Sinister
- Xraven
- The Y-Men
- Final Horsemen
- Apocalpyse Twins
- The Red Right Hand/Mongrels
- The Buzzard Brothers
- Lord Deathstrike
- David Michael Gray
- Daken
- Kimura
- Friendless
- Cortex
- S.C.A.R.S. (Ballistique, Rococo, Sylvius)
- Sublime Corporation (Lobe, Verre, Bouncing Betty, Blur, Thug)
- Luca Aldine
- Leper Queen
- Project Purgatory
- Unit
- The Isolationist
- Kenji Uedo
- Rouge Mort
- Predator X
- Shi'ar Death Commandos
- Tattooed Devil
- Future Brotherhood
