Favorite Young X men / Next generation X men Team?

[yogaflame]

Yeah, who became an X-Men was kind of willy-nilly back then. I loved the X-Men and New Mutants pretty much equally at that time.

I meant the actual characters over the last couple of decades, though. The traditional X-Men just don't seem as interesting, these days.

My satisfaction with all things X diminished considerably since Claremont's departure. I think that's true for both NM and X-Men casts. Even Illyana, who is the most prominent of her generation in the comics today, is nothing like the original, so much so I consider her a new character. The same could be said of Roberto over in the Avengers universe. He's not even biracial anymore. The X-universe as a whole has really hit rock bottom, for me. One could hope this relaunch in the spring will look back to Claremont's work, and try to emulate what made it so successful, but in this age of trade-paper backs and constantly revolving writers, I don't think we will ever see such continuity of character development, such family feels, such wildly heroic and messy and nuanced X-Men(and all their extended family) again.

Am I the only one who prefers the New Mutants, GenX and the New X-men to the actual X-Men?

My favorite characters are among the NM and Gen X (I find the New X-Men to be overrated, sorry) but I don't know how much I'd just read a reunion book of either' side original cast (but I would read about Chamber/M/Jubilee or Moonstar/Cannonball/Wolfsbane/Karma).

Why "or"? Put those two groups together and you'd have quite a team.

Which was kinda sweet, despite her coming off as a nag. She saw that he was the only one of them with any kind of real future, but he was too loyal to them, so she tried to drive him away.

More than Julian, I saw Nori as becoming the Cyclops of that particular generation of X-Men. She didn't care whether or not she was liked, so long as her people were safe. But, as might be expected of a traumatized kid, she overcompensated at times and was really quick to jump to a us-vs-them mindset.

The thing is tho, is that Hellion was shown to have both great charisma, and the ability to lead. Remember, the Hellions was a hodgepodge of personalities, and they were by far the most well oiled machine team in Academy X. In NXM, he also showed patience, which Surge did not.

Hellion was more leadership material, but she make a great 2nd that'd keep them honest.

Julian's biggest problems were his arrogance, ego, and the fact he felt ENTITLED to lead, and it was bound to get him into trouble at SOME point. A good leader has to be able to put that aside, and that's admittedly one of the things Nori was much better at.

Which is why I said what I said about Surge at the end. She'd keep him honest. She's not afraid to knock him down a peg. At the same time, tho, she's not the type to get on everyone's good side, or galvanize.

He's there's to keep everyone together, while she has the more important job of keeping his head on straight. Kinda like how Psylocke was for Magneto in UXM.

Without a doubt the New X Men. My overall interest in the entire X-Line basically comes and goes with them. I enjoyed it when they had their little Hogwarts teams and competitions. I enjoyed it when they had to deal with the aftermath of their entire world imploding (though I could have done with a little less mass murder). I enjoyed that they were actually teenagers acting like teenagers. There was just a solid cast of characters in that group that while I didn't actually like a lot of them, I couldn't argue against their value as characters.

I also adore Mercury, world's most adorable T-1000! She is by far one of my most favorite characters. From her visual design to her power set to her inclusive, pragmatic but self-depreciating personality. She's great and I <3 her.

In the end Nori was the one unwilling to listen to either Cyclops or Professor X and Julian was the one that both apologised for it and paid for it in blood.

[Master of Sound]

New X-Men of course. I think it depends on when you started to read, though. The eldest generation probably mostly like New Mutants, the ond=es starting in the 90's mostly Generation X and the younger readers mostly New X-Men.

[DiamondQueen]

New X-men. Then Generation X. I liked the NXS kids but Im sure they will go into Limbo

[hedgehogvampire]

The New X-men for me. I got into Marvel comics around 2008/9 so I mostly know their generation the best. But I pretty much love all of the kids that came out of the 2000s through today. I started reading Generation X recently and I been loving it so far. The New Mutants were before my time, and I'm kind of picky and stubborn when it comes to comics made before the 90's but I do think Magik's awesome. But yeah, overall the New X-men kids stands out the most for me.

[FIGHT]

Had to vote for the new X-men. I hope to see them all come together 1 day.

Yeah, best mercury moment ever!
Also I was team hulk all the way, Mercury just showed him the error of his ways and he went back to beat those who deserved it. And now those bastards killed him... RIP Bruce banner
