I'm a nerd from near Philadelphia, a Penn State Grad, and an aspiring writer. I also review comics for and I'm constantly reading.

@XenonZaleo Madelyne got brought back. And Destiny. And Thunderbird. And so on. And arguably Jean had Hope in the past. But no one really had children the normal way.

@dr3amcatcher93 Don't count Pixie out... she has unexpected depth. I don't think you've seen her against the brood or discovered her mother yet

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@jk_tidwell I mean, I don't think he fits, but he did play a blond in Stardust

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@omegaiceicebaby Seconded. People are sleeping on this look for some reason.

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@universoxmen Angel, Spyke, and Dani Moonstar all should have joined the Xavier Institute permanently rather than being relegated to one shot or occasional characters.

@LuckyGhostTV Everquest 2

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@OzymandiasWorX Yeah, but Banshee, Moira, Magik, Madelyne, etc. all being dead (or "dead" in Moira's case) does track for the early-mid 2000s. It is weird with Cannonball, Sunspot, and Warlock being about ready to join teams, Wolfsbane already on X-Factor & the Phalanx not setting up Gen X tho

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@omegaiceicebaby I love X-men 97, but I want to slap whomever popularized the idea that you "didn't have to watch the animated series to get what's going on"... it is true enough, but it misses out on a whole bunch of stuff, including some active fakeouts.

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@House0fstrange Cyclops and Storm are pretty even. Xavier should be replaced by Rogue. Wolverine's good tactically but he's best fighting alongside others or as backup rather than a leadership position, or as a duo (Nightcrawler, Kitty, Jubilee, maybe Pixie, Archangel, Magneto, Psylocke, Yukio)

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@SiteJamesons I mean, Nocturne is still somewhere in 616 after her time in the Exiles... as long as he doesn't join her and Juggernaut and go undercover as part of the Brotherhood of Evil mutants I see no reason why he couldn't get to 616 continuity and take part in things

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@TheWinsomeAsh Janet is fantastic!

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@Norellas_ Huh... with Banshee dead and Jubilee joining X-Force instead of Generation X and Iceman not in the picture to mess with his powers and Omega-level him, and the affair with Cyclops not a thing and not joining in the aftermath of Genosha, there is really no opening for Emma.

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@KeenanLance_ Agreed, Wind Dancer is way too cool a character to sit in limbo, especially now that she has her powers back

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@swolling_flyguy I am pretty hairy, though I shave my face. I remember being in my mid-twenties and meeting someone at gay night at a local bar, and practically the first thing he said to me was "You should shave your body smooth"... I immediately stopped talking with him

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@ilovemagik67 I was going to say that Angel is probably not submissive or a power bottom and he seemed pretty dominant with Candy Southern, but now that I think of it he literally switches forms and personalities so I think Switch is especially fitting.

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@grimmspn @comfortrogue Fair... but I have soft spot for Rogueseph. Or Rogue x Gambit x Joseph (Magneto's younger clone)

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@LuciferWolfe666 Probably more concerning when you can't see your reflection anymore

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@DPaulWelsh I'd favor John for age, but I admit I need to catch up on his Krakoan experiences. His original characterization makes a non-Native partner seem... unlikely.

Exodus could be interesting.

Ladies wise, I could see... maybe Dazzler (she's no longer with Longshot, right?) or Sage?

[Martin J. Manco @MJManco]

@DPaulWelsh So so so so extremely agree. And the writers wimped out by making him refuse to be part of the Hellfire nobility, too
