Enough for an A team and a B team like in the old days too. Two teleporters, two psychics so theres your communications and your transportation too. Enough brawlers and ranged folks for splash images as well. Even threw in a nice veteran tactician and inventor so you got logistics and tactical leadership knocked out as well.

Between these character's abilities a lot of bases should be covered, while also having a bit of overlap just in case.

It's easy as long as you follow my golden rule. Stick to the 70's and early 80's era X-men. Anything past that is garbage anyway.

Surprisingly a lot of Monet love

Monet's one of my favorite characters at Marvel, when they're not involving her stupid villainous brother. She's confident, smart, rich as fuck, and a bad ass. She's literally got the powers of Superman combined with some added psychic ability.

X-force cannonbal, Kitty Pryde, Rachel Summers, Havok, off the top of my dome

Also yeah, X-Men create field leaders like no one's business. I love the Avengers (more tbh) but I can't remember the last leader they had that wasn't Steve, Tony, or Carol. If one of them can't make the team you fuck around and come back to them all wearing leather jackets with Natasha telling them what to do.

This moment was so cool. Logan once again proves he's the coolest dad ever.
I know the OP said "no Jubilee or Rogue", but, screw it, I want a comic about all of Logan's surrogate (and legit) daughters going on a roadtrip with shenanigans along the way.

That was horribly difficult a lot of mutants have more history in other teams, it just feels wrong. This at least have a family component.


And the power level is broken so we are good there.

You could also do a pretty good Team X-men LGBT:

Mystique
Karma
Northstar
Iceman
Rictor
Shatterstar
Daken

. . . . and either Kitty, Magik, or Rachel Grey if we're going just by subtext. If not, Anole or Destiny could fill in.

Xmen has some of best gay and women characters in comics. Shatterstar is one of my favorite marvel characters, and for some reason I always thought gambit was bi

Reposting my team from Twitter:

Nightcrawler
Shadowcat
Magneto
X-23
Psylocke
Archangel
Colossus
Eye Scream

That's cheating, lol

OP said no Wolverine

If you look at the full list, it's referring to the cast of the 1992 animated series. With that in mind, from context we can infer that "Wolverine" specifically refers to James "Logan" Howlett.

Ive always been surprised there aren't more black X-Men characters.

Theres:
Storm
Bishop
Shard
Synch
Gentle
Manifold
Gateway
Maggot
Blink
Dr. Reyes

did I forget anyone?

Sunspot was originally black, but has since been lightened considerably.

Darwin is also a black latino character, even though he was drawn gray in his early appearances.

Prodigy and Angel Salvadore also belong on that list. There's also Jesse Bedlam, Frenzy, and possibly the St. Croix family.
