I also thought this team was pretty cool...

Fantomex was also a member of the team, but it’s better without him honestly.
WHEN was this team?
As for Bishop & the Blues, you're right about him replacing Cyclops. I wanted to compose a roster with all the cool of the 80s and 90s, but without the baggage of the 70s & 00s. It meant being sensitive to representation, utility, and chemistry. You're absolutely right about people like Beast pinch-hitting for them, and kind of assume Gambit, Jubilee, and Wolverine are the team members most likely to have other commitments. That means people like Beast, Captain Britain, Frenzy, Bedlam, Monsoon(!), Husk, Penance, Colossus, and Deadpool can all guest star... kinda like in the 70s when Banshee was replaced by Beast or Angel depending on who Byrne felt like drawing.
This was from Soule’s brief Astonishing X-men Volume 4 run, I think in 2017.
Yeah, I like the whole core cast with frequent guest stars model, like the old 90s Animated Series.As for Bishop & the Blues, you're right about him replacing Cyclops.
