Universal threat, what 10-12 X-Men would you like to see face it.

[PhoenixThanos]

Okay, an intergalactic cosmic threat is coming, you have to choose 10-12 X-Men to face the threat head on. Who would you choose.
Mine are
Cyclops, Kitty Pryde, Wolverine (normal Wolverine), Colossus, Storm, Night Crawler, Beast, Rachael Summers, Psylocke, Rogue and Gambit.

[a moment closer]

Kitty, Wolverine, Colossus, Rockslide, Armor, Cannonball, Box, Danger, O5 Cyclops, O5 Angel, O5 Jean and Pixie

[ZeroBG82]

Jean Grey, Cable, Rachel Grey, and Hope Summers. Plus maybe Deadpool for inappropriate humor. Frankly, don't need anybody else with the Grey family tree running point.

[Tycon]

Bishop
Cannonball
Sunspot
Rictor
Shatterstar
Elixir
Dani Moonstar
Monet St Croix
Frenzy
Jubilee
Boom-Boom

[nx01a]

Honestly? Without Rachel or Jean wielding the Phoenix Force, the X-Men's only hope against a cosmic level threat is Magik. Otherwise...

[ChildOfTheAtom]

Rogue
Monet
Elixir
Phoenix
Prestige
Storm
Xorn
Blink
Lila Cheney
Longshot
Forge

I called BS on Rogue's UA feat against a Celestial. And Jean has worn the Phoenix costume before without having the Phoenix Force.

To me, none of the X-Men are in league with Marvel's cosmic characters unless you're talking omega level reality warping mutants like Legion or Franklin Richards... and that's perfectly fine!

[Sardorim]

Havok's Starjammers have the most experience with cosmic threats , as they had that war with Vulcan for so long and got dragged into other cosmic wars, so any team that excludes the best from them and Jean is asking to be destroyed.

Cyclops
Jean
Havok
Rachel
Storm
Polaris
Charles Xavier
Kitty
Forge
Dr. Nemesis
Magneto
Nightcrawler


That Rogue thing is UA was a temp thing and was just a copy of Hope who can do it better anyway as that's her power. Hope though lacks experience in space.

Ok You called this bs. This is still cannon. She did this few times earlier. She absorbed multiple powers many, many times
and unlike as true bs moments which were really stupid:
-they showed that Rogue can't control so many powers and would die (good limit to her powers)
-she was punished because of this (lost control over her powers)
-she needed help of Wanda to survive
-she had problems because she absorbed to many powers and it is easy to say:"she can't use this in real combat because she had troubles with thinking and everything

This is leagues above all true bs moments

If this would be copy then all other heroes would fly with her...

[Sardorim]

Hope only needs them close by and the powers take awhile to leave when she isn't near them.

but they don't lose them and they would be able to help her
