Civilian careers for the X-Men!

[Gray Lensman]

Was it "everything is yellow" or "everything is red" or "everything is reddish yellow!"

Whatever the writers who haven't a clue decide that day. More accurately it would probably be a red/pink wash over everything he looks at, but he'd still be able to tell colors apart.

Domino and/or Longshot: Stock market analyst. Granted, neither of them know anything about money (beyond Domino liking to have lots of it) but with their particular vague powers, a random guess from either of them is 99% likely to be a smart investment. They'd be in high demand.

Longshot? Mmmm... Me, I believe speculation is not precisely a pure reason, but the most execrable (honestly, I'm scandalized that stock market business is legal), so his luck powers wouldn't work for it. But I guess I may be wrong, since brokers are considered as heroes nowadays... -_-

If Rogue keeps Simon's powers, maybe she can get a job doing what he used to do, being a Hollywood stuntman/stuntperson.

How I see the X-Men's fates if they weren't Mutants...

Cyclops - Wallmart Manager
Wolverine - Nothing, he would of died 100 of years ago.
Gambit - Sex Offender...seriously the trench coat has him banged to rights
Psylocke - Highclass Escort
Dazzler - Celebrity overdose
Iceman - The underachiever that lives in his Mom's basement till he is 37.

I think that Emma Frost would do a better job than Psylocke.

[Project Initiative Cascada]

Emma Frost has multiple careers already such as being the head of her family's Frost Industry (I have no idea what the company specializes in), Headmistress of multiple academies, and is a qualified therapist. Personally I think her chosen position is Headmistress with how strong she feels with teaching.

Rogue would make a great Air-force Pilot. I can see Carol Danvers being her mentor or superior officer on the air force.

Kitty is obviously a politician at heart. She should be the first female U.S. President at the very least!

Storm would most likely be an activist and humanitarian all over Africa.

Dazzler is already a pop-star, but if she was human she would be ruling the charts and selling out stadiums all around the world.

Polaris already has a degree in geology, so she would thereby be a geologist or professor.

Jean Grey would be a medical doctor. (For some reason I think the title "Doctor Grey" has a nice ring to it!)

For some reason I can see Rachel as a U.S. Military drill soldier or officer.

[Sardorim]

I can see Rachel being a Drill Sergeant or Drill Instructor.

Wait, Longshot's powers only work for feats that are judged by some nebulous terms as 'good'? That's staggeringly dumb even by comics logic. Okay, scratch him, but it still works for Dom.

With A red lens you can't tell colors apart, try turning all the colors but red on your TV or monitor Off that is what Cyke would see

Monet - Super model
Beast - World respected scientist (most obvious of professions of the mutants)
Psylocke - Covert operative for secret gov't agency
Nightcrawler - Gymnast instructor
Colossus - Artist
Jubilee - Next break out star in a Twilight reboot

Yeah, that's the way it goes. Nebulous, as you said, and extremely subjective, unless it works according to the kantian categorical imperative...

[KurtW95]

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.

Anole's a CEO? Isn't he a teenager?

And please no politics. That will just divide the fanbase more than it already is. I'm good with them advocating for coexistence between mutants and regular humans, but it shouldn't go beyond that.

I said 'politician', but I said nothing about political trends . Anyway, OK, no more politics.

Rachel Grey - Writer

Rachel would actually make a great journalist. I can see her being one of those extreme news reporters that gets to the bottom of every major news story.
