X-Men female trinity

[Calaigah]

I'd say
1: Storm
2: Jean Grey
3: Rogue
4-6: Kitty, Emma, Psylocke

Rising stars: X23 and Magik
Currently: Rogue, Tean and Kitty
Previously: Storm, Rogue and Emma

[Calintz]

Rogue, Storm, and Jean

Even tho Rogue has been absent from the Xbooks doesn't mean she's stop believing in Xavier's dream. She's doing a damn good job over in UA. (Under good writers that is lol)

I was torn between Jean and Emma considering recent events. I just LOVE how Emma handles other superheroes/villians of the like especially when it concerns mutants.

As for Jean, I really only liked the oringinal. Not really a big fan of the teen one.

Storm, Jean and Rogue. But I think Kitty is a close 4th, then Psylocke as 5th and Emma as 6th.



I think most people voting for Psylocke, Emma and to some extent Kitty are voting on who they like the most, not who's popular/famous/important enough to be considered the "X-Men Female Trinity".

Agreed with everything except I would put Psylocke in 4th place over Kitty.

Jean, Jeen, and Phoenix.

Why do we need these CIS trinity threads? Shouldn't the mutants have a more expansive view of gender?

Oh geez. Go start a Non-CIS one then. Ugh.

Many members have already given the right answer.

IMO, one of the biggest issues with X-books is the writers and editors don't understand the fact that the X-Men cartoon had a larger impact on fandom than the Claremont comics or the Fox movies. Kids who grew up with the cartoon know the classic stories but with different characters. Writers who were too old for the cartoon (Bendis, Guggenheim) and read the comics first likely thought the cartoon was stupid.

We need to build bridges not walls. It's up to all of us to interrogate our presuppositions -- even here. Try to put yourself in the shoes of someone non-binary, such as myself.

Jean, Storm, Rogue

Yup agree with this. Kinda want them to have their own book or at least be the same team again.

I vote for their own book

[Muffinman]

No question here: Storm, Rogue, Jean.

Kitty, Emma, and psylocke don't have the same multimedia presence as those three ladies. No contest with the gals.

I'll pass, thanks.

There's a new thread with the top 3-4 of each poll. You'll find yourself there.

[Heroine Addict]

Primary Trinity: Storm, Jean Grey, & Rogue

Secondary Trinity: Kitty Pryde, Psylocke, & Emma Frost

Up & Comers + ... other: X-23, Magik, and... ... Mystique

Honorable Mentions: Jubilee, Rachel Grey, & Moira MacTaggert


Simmering Just Below the Surface (Characters to keep an eye on, due to their history, potential, & most importantly... upcoming, breakout opportunities, for advancement, and/or at least a raise in awareness & prominence.)

Blink, Polaris, Dazzler, Domino, Dani Moonstar, Dr. Cecilia Reyes, Wolfsbane, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Lilandra, and... Lady Deathstrike?

* Italics = anomalies, for lack of a better term.

Jean seems to be a obvious choice (like you said), but looking at your analysis, she's not top 3 in any era.

I think the top 3 is harder to choose that some might say.

How I look at it is, longevity, impact, and familiarity. Also tried to ignore TAS and movie influences. Jean was the first female X-Man, she's the Pheonix and the basis for several characters and has influences on the books even while being dead. She was preoccupied in the 80s; when not smashing the world to pieces as a version of Pheonix, her spotlight was shared by Storm, Dazzler, upstart Kitty, and the new-comer Rogue, she wasn't extreme enough for the 90s, most often played the voice of reason, and dead for everything else. But she's still very much the matriarch of the X-Men.
