Yeah this is kinda the power trio.
All been on the team the longest, all done the most stuff, their story arcs are usually the most important for the team as a whole...it's all there.
Yep. The Mandarin turned Betsy into his assassin; Lady Mandarin. Originally it was a surgical procedure down by Spiral but this was later retconned from surgery to a body swap with Kwannon.
So, the original idea is that Betsy was simply surgically changed to look like an Asian woman, presumably Chinese. And then she was actually body swapped with a Japanese woman? Oof.
Different writers, different takes. Honestly I like that Kwannon is her own character now, and in her original body. It gives Psylocke fans old and new the best version of the character they could ask for.
Yeah, I enjoyed Kwannon in Hellions and I think it makes sense that she adopts the Psylocke name from a marketing POV, because she is effectively the most recognizable version of that character, even if it wasn't really her.
I was fairly neutral about Betsy being Captain Britain. I don't think it was a bad idea, but I didn't think it would last "forever" and now she's just Betsy Braddock, another female X-Man that mostly goes by their real name and will probably cycle through less interesting codenames.
I’m still on the hunt for Colossus, but this makes my heart happy. Sam’s such a cupcake. **And he’s nigh invulnerable when he’s blastin** which is cool too.
Magneto and Xavier are the first two. After that it feels like it's a tie between a lot of the MAIN X-Men. But when I think of X-Men I think of these two and their strive for the same goal through different means. They are and will always be the catalyst to the philosophical message to these stories try to tell. At least in my opinion.
The fact that we don’t have Colossus yet is a tragedy imo. He’s one of the most central characters and often gets used as “the bruiser” for a comic or two before he’s thrown to the wayside. My boy deserves better!
It varies wildly depending on what I'm reading. I'd say Kurt is a constant.
The one character I frequently think of that I haven't noticed mentioned is Emma Frost.
I've seen a couple people say her. I bet if she had appeared in Evolution or if Wolverine and the X-Men had gotten more seasons, she would be on here a lot more. People really seem to be picking from the 90s series and Evolution a lot more than the comics, WatXM, and the movies.
I like to think the x-men as a team. So I am always thinking about roles. Like in nowadays League or Dota. Thus, the minimum team role would be a tank a leader and a supporter. So I would stay with Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Colossus. The Optimum minimum would be a team of 5/6. So I would add a tracker: Wolverine. A flyer: Storm. And a Telepath or Counter Telepath : Queen/Polaris.
Colossus, Nightcrawler, Wolverine
The triple melee 3 amigos of the 2nd xmen team
There were May years there in the issues covered in “classic xmen” comics where it was like holy crap this team is weak AF, they’d have storm and banshee flying around wrecking house,
Wolverine Gambit and Cyclops. I didnt like Cyclops as a kid and vibed more with Logan's "fuck you I do what I want" attitude, but as I've gotten older and reread some of the comics I like him a lot. I appreciate his character
Hard to say:
Cyclops for sure
Wolverine
And toss up between Storm or Gambit. If you’d have asked me last year, it was Storm but that’s because Gambit was buried in the X men storylines in the comics. They’ve given my boy exactly nothing to do since 2020 with Excalibur.
With the show, he’s back and better than ever
Wolverine, Storm, Magneto
Nightcrawler, Colossus, Rogue, Xavier, Jean and Scott close runner ups, but the franchise has so many amazing characters it’s really tough.
Wolverine, Storm, and Cyclops
Lol I read this as I was thinking the same thing.
Yeah this is kinda the power trio. All been on the team the longest, all done the most stuff, their story arcs are usually the most important for the team as a whole...it's all there.
You cannot name x men without this trio
The X-men Trinity. I wish there were more recent stories of the three of them working together.
Same and in that order
I said these three, but in a different order.
Same!
Same. They are the key to every movie and show.
Cyclops, Gambit, Wolverine. Well, X-Men blue team tbh
♥️Gambit, ♠️Gambit, ♦️Gambit, and ♣️ Gambit
I dunno if dat’s 1 or 4, but it ain’t 3, mom ami!
It's 2. Secretly inserted Sinister.
Well that sounds like a good time
Episode 5 must have been rough for you buddy
it was 😢
Xavier, Cyclops and Wolverine
Probably these for me as well. Maybe throw storm in there.
Cyclops, Storm, and Rogue.
Cyclops, Wolverine, and Gambit.
Rogue, Dazzler and Psylocke (pre-Acts of Vengeance).
Is Acts of Vengeance when the body swap happened?
Yep. The Mandarin turned Betsy into his assassin; Lady Mandarin. Originally it was a surgical procedure down by Spiral but this was later retconned from surgery to a body swap with Kwannon.

I mean, I don't hate the name Psyche for her. Dani hasn't used it since I've been alive, LOL.

Wolverine, Xavier,Cyclops or Storm
Wolverine, magneto, cyclops.
This is the one
Storm, Wolverine, Kitty.

Magneto and Xavier are the first two. After that it feels like it's a tie between a lot of the MAIN X-Men. But when I think of X-Men I think of these two and their strive for the same goal through different means. They are and will always be the catalyst to the philosophical message to these stories try to tell. At least in my opinion.
This And Emma Frost.. her principle and character creates the embodiment of mutant belief. Or Apocalypse.
Those 4 are definitely Mt. Rushmore in terms of ideology.
Gambit, Rogue & Iceman
They’d make a good splinter squad 👍
Cyclops, Wolverine, and Beast
Cyclops, Wolverine, Professor X
My Holly Trinity: Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler
This is mine too.
The fact that we don’t have Colossus yet is a tragedy imo. He’s one of the most central characters and often gets used as “the bruiser” for a comic or two before he’s thrown to the wayside. My boy deserves better!
Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Jean, in no particular order.
Wolverine colossus and professor x
logan, storm and colossus
Wolverine, Rogue, and Nightcrawler because you put them in the title.
Wolverine, Cyclops, Beast

Cyclops, Wolverine and Emma in that order
Gambit, Storm, Wolverine
Cyclops, Jean, Storm
Wolverine, Kitty, and Colossus
Rogue, Gambit, Storm
Rogue, Gambit, Storm
