After Kitty, who should lead the X-men next?

[RLAAMJR.]

Let's just say Kitty's leadership will end after Guggenheim's run. Who should lead the X-men next?

[Jaddor]

I was going to go for Emma. but she is not on your list.why? Emma is so cool.

[Rogue Star]

Rogue appears to be leading in Astonishing X-Men. That counts as both "after Kitty" and "next".

[King_Thor13]

Of those listed, I'd like to see Rogue or Psylocke in a leadership position.

Storm I think had great potential, but her short stint as leader of the X-Men was chaotic. If she were to reassume this position, it'd be important to solidify her as a strong tactical women capable of leading mutantkind.

In addition, I'd say that Dani Moonstar and Cannonball both would be great leaders, though I doubt either will ever be given the opportunity to hold such a pivotal role.

[Perfection/Emma 2]

Rogue especially after seeing how she performs in Uncanny Avengers

The right answer isn't up there. Professor Charles Xavier.

[nandes]

Kurt. It would be great to finally have a non-human looking mutant leading the X-Men.

[cc008]

Bobby freakin Drake. He's been the number 2 to somebody since the Schism. He's an og... by the time they need a new leader, he'll have self-discovered himself fully. Time to take that final step.

The right answer isn't up there. Professor Charles Xavier.

Xaiver as well. he has become almost like the professor snape head teacher in x-men for the last 25 years. he is so devious and has many juicy secrets. but emma for me.

rogue has led so many times. AOA Astonishing, X-Men Revolution, X-Men Legacy. I rather see someone else take the mantle.

[Harpsikord]

Iceman.

Jean Grey.

Psylocke.

I was gonna vote for Emma too but she was not there so I picked rogue.

anyone but storm!!

[RAWRlrus]

I'd like to see Emma too. She's always been co-leader (with Sean and then Scott). It would be nice for her to move into it solo.

[Tycon]

Surge.
Hellion.
or.
Prodigy.

[Harpsikord]

Yeah, I can get behind Rogue also, but.

Can we just have adult Jean back, and can we let her be in charge like she was in Morrison's New X-Men?

[Vegan Daddy]

Doop. Nobody does it better.
