heywilmaOkay. This got me. I'm making up teams now, because I'm bored.
Say you're given your own X-men title by Marvel, and you're allowed to pick a team of seven mutants to write for. Of the existing mutants in the Marvel universe, which seven characters do you choose for your team, and why? Keep in mind that becauser this is the world of comics, you can totally bring people back from the dead, break up pairings you dislike, and find BS solutions to previous authors's plotlines. Also, designate one or two team leaders for your group. Have fun!
Bishop- Team leader. Okay, so he has that whole 'I'm-a-cop-rahrahRAH' complex, but he's liek whoa, all futuristic and knows how to kill every single mutant because of that futuristic-isn. Plus did anyone catch that issue of X-Treme X-Men? This dude has no fear.
Psylocke- I swear I'm not picking Psylocke 'cause she's my favourite character. Well. Maybe. But there's something undeniably cool about an ass-kickin' purple haired telepathic/telekinetic ninja-assasin secret sevice Brit chick. *Nod* I think I've just made my point.
Shadowcat- She's all genius like and knows all that funk about technology. She'll be the spy of the group, with the stealthy nature of her powers and the fact that her mind can't be read by telepaths.
Colossus- The obligatory strong-guy, to smash things up if neccesary. "ORGANIC METAL SMASH".
Gambit- Everyone's favourite cajun, for blowing things up. Also for stealing, charming, lying his way into/out of situations. The PR person, since the team leader's not really one for conversations.
Iceman- Elemental=powerful. Omega level=OMGWTFBBQGODLIEKWHOA. Because every team needs a freakishly powerful elemental dude. He's also there for snark, and angst, since Bobby does a good tortured look.
Northstar- Every X-Team needs someone who flies, and apart from TK!Psylocke, no one else on the team can fly. Superspeed=great too. Makes for interesting conversation with Bobby.
Heh. Yeah.
Jean Grey- Phoenix Force. 'Nuff said.
Storm- Another ridiculously powerful elemental, Ororo would be team leader, 'cause she's good at that.
Iceman- Kinda like Jean, really, in the sense that he's basically immortal. (Wolverine eat your heart out) Bobby has the potential to be much, much more powerful than Storm.
Polaris- Better than Magneto, 'cause she's not hell bent on destroying humankind. Green hair also = teh awsomeness.
M- INDESTRUCTIBLE LIEK WHOA. That plus sooper dooper everything and telepathy. I can't believe I didn't spot this earlier... Monet=canon MAry Sue! ;)
Elixir- Because we need another boy on the group, to add a little testosterone. Josh would be the baby, the rookie, and the other immortal team member. He has so much potential. If I was the writer of X-Men I'd give him the codename 'Golden Boy', not Elixir.
Because this is the OMGWTFBBQPOWERFULLIEKWHOA X-Team, there is no need for a seventh member. Any one of these people can take on an entire army by themselves (with the possible exception of Elixir). The only problem would be if they all turned evil and tried to take over the world...

What the hell indeed ;)
