The team was pretty good as it was, but I would have liked to have seen colossus more. They certainly could have used a tank like guy that could take hits.

reply

Out of that list, Iceman! Love Bobby Drake. His power set, personality and age would have brought another unique dynamic to the team.

And I am sorry if this has been asked before, but was there any particular reason why Jubilee stole Kitty Pryde's spot on the show? I mean, why substitute one of the greatest characters ever created for the franchise with an inferior imitation? I just don't get it. When it came to power set alone, Shadowcat was way cooler than Jubilee!

It's so fluffy, I'm gonna die!

reply

I think it had to do with the fact that at the time Jubilee was a new character they were trying to launch. They wanted people to be interested in her and buy the comics. That's just my guess though.

When men stop seeing movies because theres a "hot chick", movies will focus once again on story.

Okay, that makes sense! Thank you! =)

I wish these members had joined the team:

Colossus
Nightcrawler
Psylocke
Angel
Iceman
Shadowcat

Banshee , Nightcrawler , and Forge

Nightcrawler hands down. His personality would have been a good counter to Wolverine, Rogue and Gambit's.

No offence but Forge was only in the future so how could he possibly join the team?

He also led X-Factor in the present. He was in a few episodes (Phalanx Covenant parts 1 and 2, Family Ties, Sanctuary Part 2, and Cold Comfort)

Nightcrawler and Colossus are my picks.

Nightcrawler would have been a good foil to some of the others (Wolverine in particular), and Colossus would take on the role of heavy hitter (and I want to see a fastball special)

I wish these members had joined the team:

Colossus
Nightcrawler
Psylocke
Angel
Iceman
Shadowcat

Heck those six characters would make a great team on their own! No real stand-out leader there though like Storm or Cyclops. I guess Nightcrawler could step up to the plate in a pinch.

If I had to pick one character as a regular I'd go with Nightcrawler, he was always my favourite X-Man. Swashbuckling teleporter ftw.

Dazzler
Psylocke
Colossus
Nightcrawler
Iceman

I gotta go with most everone else and say:

Nightcrawler
Colossus
Iceman
Archangel
Psylocke
Shadowcat

Wolfsbane might have been interesting she was seen w/ X-Factor.

reply

I'd say Collossus and Nightcrawler. It's a shame they only got like 2 episodes. Then they had Collossus working for Magneto in X-Men Evolution. What a stupid decision!

I guess most of us agree.

In defense of X-Men: Evolution, you find out that Colossus was only working for Magneto because he was coerced into it. When Wolverine tries to persuade him to join the X-Men, Colossus explains that if he leaves, Magneto will harm his family. To me, it really felt like they were gearing up for a Colossus-centric episode in the future where he eventually joins the good guys. If only the show had gone on for longer! I'm also glad they had cool interactions between him and Kitty during the Apocalypse story arc. I loved when Nightcrawler and Kitty were arguing about whether they could trust him, and then Colossus crashes through the walls. "I... grew concerned" was such a funny, endearing line.

I was actually more offended that they made Gambit an Acolyte! Colossus was forced into villainy, but the show made it seem like Gambit willingly worked for Magneto. Yes, he used to work for Mr. Sinister (and then for Apocalypse, and then for Sinister again...) in the comics, but I've always viewed Gambit as an outsider hero who would voluntarily be some evil guy's lackey unless he was coerced into it, as in the comics. Of course, I get that they did it because they wanted to include as many characters as possible. Oh well.

Why would a banana grab another banana? Those are the kind of questions I don't want to answer.

reply

I agree with this. At least X-Men Evolution gave a good reason for Colossus joining Magneto, although I would have loved to see more of Colossus in that series if it hadn't been canceled.

reply

All the remaining members from the Blue and Gold Team era... Psylocke, Archangel, Iceman, Bishop, and Colossus. Aside from them also Shadowcat and Nightcrawler.

reply

I would have much loved to see Nightcrawler and Psylocke.

reply

I didn't read through all of the posts, but I know that Psylocke is a popular answer and rightfully so.

From what I gather, since Beyond Good and Evil was crafted to be the "last episode" for the show, before the idea is scrapped, we're supposed to be given the impression that Arcangel and Psylocke are going to join the X-Men, in addition to Bishop and Shard, maybe. But, that obviously doesn't materialize. I think a lot of viewers at the time were disappointed that this was the last we saw of her.

Psylocke's inclusion would have introduced an interesting set of storylines - especially since Revanche, whose body she technically occupies, also makes a cameo in the Beyond Good and Evil storyline, at the end. I would have loved to see a Psylocke-Revanche-Spiral storyline. Also would have been cool to see her take down the Shadow King like she did in the comic.

But I would have LOVED to see Cyke get the wandering eye with Betsey, in front of Jean, like in the comic strip - but in the series, you know that wouldn't happen.

To this day Psylocke has never even been a main character in any of the X-men cartoons.


It's amazing how people hang around message boards of movies they don't like
