There's non mainstream and then there's cult classics, like Dazzler and Maggott and X-Statix

Let’s see:
Sage
Penance
Forge
Anole
Marrow
Reyes
Northstar
Northstar (obvs!), Chamber, Cypher, Frenzy, Surge, Stacy X, and Aurora.
Honorable mention to Amanda Sefton, Lee Forester, the Stuart twins, and Stevie Hunter.
low key loved the Maggott and Marrow era. If Cannonball counts throw him in too.
Do Polaris, Magma, and Firestar just all hang out and cry together, I wonder?
Wolfsbane, don't know how to explain my love to werewolves hehe
I put a lot of thought into this one just trying to whittle the list down. I'll try to keep my list small and say in no particular order:
Monet
Stacey-X
Pixie
Magik
Moonstar
Siryn
Madrox
Warpath
Husk
Chamber
Rictor
Marrow
Wolfsbane
My favorites can change, depending on how much I enjoy the stories that they are appearing in.

I think a more interesting question would be why do you like these characters. Because I swear, for most of the characters mentioned here, I can't figure out the answer. It feels like people just like big multi-colored hair and cool powers, meh.
“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
I posted this in the Firestar Appreciation Thread...
I love that for most of her history...she has been the non-X-Men mutant. Sure the 616 version first appeared in Uncanny 193 in May 85...then nearly a year later her limited series dropped. But From there she was in New Warriors, Avengers, Marvel Divas, her One Shot, Young Allies all before finally joining the X-Men....then even after Krakoa she appears more prominently outside of the X-Books in Absolute Carnage and Annihilation: Scourge.
She could be the one I am looking for to break ranks with Krakoa because of all her ties outside of the X-Men.
The only question is...considering she was working on an art degree...why was she not hired for art at the school when she joined the X-Men.
I have quite a number of non-mainstream characters that I like.
Polaris
Domino(though she is one of my top 5 favorite characters overall)
Warpath
Wolfsbane
Forge
Madrox
Shatterstar
Elixir
Layla
Blink
Marrow(pre 2000s)
