Your Unpopular/Controversial Opinions on the X-Universe

Shadowcat is a pretty cool name. I always referred to her by that until this relaunch

Agreed. While I thought the whole Cap'n Kate concept was cool, the codename Shadowcat is very awesome. Why not Cap'n Shadowcat?

I understand she has grown as a character in a lot of different ways, and like all of us, people outgrow things, but Shadowcat is one hell of a great superhero name.

Crimson Dawn was actually cool and it should resurface

Maggott should get horseman'd as the new Pestillence

The logical choices, power-wise:

Famine = Rogue

Pestilence = Maggot

War = Forge

Death = Omega Red

Just thinking about the whole Scott-Maddie-Jean thing....it would have been far better if Scott had just basically been Lee Forrester ans maybe she would have been his girl at the time. They might have mived in togeether and she always would have wanted him to choose her over the Xmen. Transition to Xfactor and "Jean" supposedly returns only its not really Jean but a powerful illusion cast by Mastermind or in this case maybe even Lady Mastermind as part of getting revenge on the Xmen and Scott Summers in general for ruining the bid for dominance in the Hellfire Club. The illusion of Maddie posing as an amnesiac Jean and seeking to ultimately destroy the Cmen from within would be less convoluted than the whole I marries my dead girls clone but im not weird or anything story with Scott. Hell even with Inferno and sacrificing of Nathan this could have been an elaborate illusion designed to break Scott completely

Legion is just way too powerful to me. I prefer how he started out. Basically he just has psi powers. Telepathy, telekinesis and pyrokinesis....and multiple personalities.

Jemail Karami, a terrorist whose mind David absorbed when his power first activated, controlled the telepathy. And he was the most stable of the personalities trying to stabilize David's mind.

Jack Wayne was a personality created due to the trauma he suffered and was an adventurous type but selfish and really not a nice guy. He controlled the Telekinesis.

Cyndi was an angry, rebellious teen girl who was more self serving. She controlled the pyrokinesis.

I think the whole 'he has every mutant power you can think of and each power has a personality' was just a little too far for me.

I agree. Claremont's Legion was perfect, and that was enough. I don't like his use in AoA or in more modern stories.

Ooh, that would one up Fantomex. "My nervous system is Eva, a flying saucer!" "Yeah? Meet my digestive system, which are like a Tinkerbell/Mothra mashup..."

Maggott honestly should be an insectiopath. Polymorph. All of his sense functions should be able to morph into insect like creatures that serve his whim and input.

I want Typhoid Mary in on Krakoa doing things for exodus. He needs an angle.

I loved the alternate story in Age of X with Frenzy and Cyclops as a couple.I think they were great together and even when they woke up in the real world.Joanna still had feelings for Scott and she didn't care it was a dream.Imo that should have been explored further.It had so much potential either Joanna getting competitive with Emma for Scott or just trying to go to an extreme like Astra did for Magneto maybe getting a clone.I actually think in this multiple lives of Moira versions it would be great if at some point alternate for example life 9 X-Men or Joanna alone came back using a ghost box to show us that she had a happy life with Scott kind of the reverse of Logan meeting the Age of Apocalypse Jean in Xforce of Remender's story.I wish the Frenzy-Cyclopse relationship was explored more.Maybe that can still happen under Hickman.

Another absolutely ridiculous thing I'll never understand that should be done away with is 20 foot tall sentinels.I find it absurrd for giant machines to be sent to kill or capture tiny people.This has to stop you want menacing sentinels make them 8-9 feet tall like in the DoFP movie,that is realistic they can enter buildings ,limit human collateral.Plus it is more engaging seeing say 10 X-Men battle four or five sentinels than
7 X men battling just the one.I never got how this is still a thing.Also I prefer human looking Bastion who looked incredibly menacing than a pink Nimrod that has been done to death.Time for a change in sentinel look

I liked the concept of Cyke being with a non-Jean replacement for once - and I consider Emma to have started out as one as much as Maddie was, even if Ms Frost was more to Scott once Morrison left.

But in the end, with Frenzy it really wasn't about Scott, or even her and Scott for that matter. In the crapsack world of Age of X, she had something she hadn't had before. Respect, trust, a place where she truly belonged and could fight to protect, rather than fight for grudging admittance. She wanted all of that once the truth was revealed, and the version of Scott from there was part of it, but not really the core of what she wanted.

What's funny is that the original sentinels were only about 9 feet tall or so. I differ from you in that I think the 40 ft behemoths have their place, but I agree that it shouldn't be every place.
