There needs to be some sort of version of Godwin's Law that pertains to comic discussions eventually becoming arguments about Wolverine.

I have it on good authority that Wolverine fought the Nazis. At least in current continuity.

Out of curiosity, what would you guys say are the ten worst HANDLED X-Men? The ones that should have been awesome, but were turned into massive piles of suck?

Thunderbird
Sunfire
Iceman
Angel
Some have had their moments, and some great stories that make the lack of development even worse. Iceman and Angel in particular should be far more developed as characters. Banshee was frickin Interpol before he was a thief or an X-Man, he has a great sibling rivalry, but he was never much more than a background player. Chamber had such an interesting concept, I have no clue wtf he's supposed to be now, clone of Apocalypse or something? All these characters have so much potential, though few of them are now in weird spots to be developed more.

Wolvie is a little boring you have to admit but I can see why others like him. Nothing is wrong with you not liking a popular character. |

I later grew to respect him once the writers learned how to show off his abilities more...which they have done with other rmutants like X-23 and Sabertooth.
They also need to do the same with Beast I RARELY see beast use his powers...like ever lol.
I think Marrow had good potential actually it's just the execution was all wrong...much like Cyclops.
How DARE they put Beast in there!
Mine are *ahem* (not in order and includes some regulars that may not be actual xmen and most are ones I just dont like)

Jean Grey
Doop
Artie & Leech

I don't get why more people like Taylor Swift than Mozart, but I know that I'm the one being poor company if I run them down for it.

We'll remember who we're told to remember. No more, no less. That's how history works.
Well, we won't. We'll be dead. But someone will.

Nothing springs to mind?
How about the 50's?
It'll take a lot fewer than 200 years to bury Taylor in the sands of history.

There were plenty of singers popular then that you don't hear of anymore, sure, but names do spring to mind from those. Every decade generally has some people that will stand the test of time beyond that decade, for at least a few decades (though lasting centuries is a pretty mean feat).Anyway, for the list, I was surprised like others to see Beast on there. He's pretty solid compared to most of the others.

i suppose part of it is perhaps that its that beast. the best most of us probably think of for dear old dr mccoy is the blue furball(probably fewer of us associate him with the new lion-like beast, though i think its kind of interesting). Its a distinct look, it provides a nice contrast with his intellect and etiquette, it sticks in your head. beast with big hands and feet..ehh, not quite as distinct. I know that I like him, but he is blue, super agile, clever, and unusual looking, so that is kind of a given.
I disagree with Cypher. Since his resurrection in Necrosha every use of his power has just been made of win.
