    Default Civilian careers for the X-Men!

    Now we all know what the senior X-Men would do if they weren't superheros (colourblind pilot, a rich guy, a mad scientist, the worst accountant, an equally bad samurai, a weather diety, a federal agent, a circus performer/pirate?, an artist) but what careers do you think some of the other X-Men would pursue. I think Kitty tried to get into politics once but her didn't seem into it.

    I think Kitty being in politics was a Claremont AU. But she could always go back to bar-tending?
    Havok's evil now, so that combined with the M-word speech means he would probably do great in politics himself.
    Northstar has his own business and sports career.
    Karma inherited her evil twin's business empire.
    Anole's already a CEO at Worthington Industries.
    Rockslide might be able to go back to his dream of joining the superhuman wrestling league circuit.
    Bling! could go into PR.

    Wolverine would be headlining a wilderness themed 'reality' show similar to Man vs Wild, except he wouldn't need the safety crew.
    Dark does not mean deep.

    Karma does work, she always did, first as Xavier's secretary and then as a librarian. She's one of the very few who's sensitive about her responsability of earn a living, and I'm so proud of her for it. Karma knows, Karma rules.

    PS: I love the idea of this thread, Durarara ^ ^ !

    *Black Mamba bites Logan*
    Wolverine (to camera): Now ordinarily, a black mamba can kill a man within seven hours. Fortunately I've got a healing factor, so this guy ain't gonna do much more than piss me off. Bub.

    X-23 could join Jubes on the Olympics team, and I'm sure she probably doesn't want to go back to EITHER of her two previous professions... Maybe law enforcement, but that might stretch the definition of "civilian." It would really help if writers would actually give her things she ENJOYS doing on her downtime.

    I think Havok is engineer or architect. He was working as such after the X-Men toppled the old Genoshan regime.

    I wouldn't count SWORD as a civilian job.

    According to his wikia:

    Masters degree in geophysics, some doctoral research completed
    I guess a Geologist of some kind. Same for Lorna.

    And as the teacher for the kids too young to be on squads, then to the special needs class (re: Face). But getting her own weapons R&D business is the most recent development.

    Mimic was a scientist, Banshee was an Interpol agent.

    The next gen Xmen never seemed too interested in regular gigs.

    Unless you count Dazzler's music career.

    Cyclops can go back to being a radio announcer.
