Who's your favourite X-Men character and why is it Storm?
Brian Mannix because he had the coolest hair.
I also vote for Brian Mannix
Uncanny!
Storm because Halle Berry.
Rogue, because she just wanted to touch people without them dying and the other X-Men treated her like a traitor. Yeah she can bring dead things back to life, but never being able to be physical with your loved ones ever without killing them? Yeah I'd cure that shit too.
Edit: I get the metaphor to marginalised groups, like the LGBTQ+, and that the cure is a metaphor for like, conversion therapy. But also, they have supernatural powers and hers is sucking powers and life force out of people. She cannot be cool like Storm and control the weather, and she cannot read minds (unless she takes those powers). So, in my mind, the metaphor falls apart when it comes to Rogue. Gay people don't kill others by virtue of their gayness; she can. That's the difference and I hate how the other X-Men reacted to her. Storm is all like "noooo you're perfect", but she can hug her loved ones, Soo there.
This is a well reasoned argument.
I getcha.
Back when I was a kid I always wanted to be Cyclops because I thought he was cool.
I like speedsters for super powers so whatever magneto's kid is called. Marvel's Flash.
The last xmen movie I saw was Logan , which I thought was really good, so I;m going to have to say Wolverine and Xavier.
That movie was incredible. Was not what I was expecting and I'm glad.
Really good actors and story.
From the films? Wolverine. Love the attitude. Or maybe the Cavillrine, simply cause of the shotgun arm reload for the claws.
Deadpool
The man says Wolverine because he's got attitude. I still say Brian because hair and all.
The wolverine from the cartoons in the 90's had the best one liners.
True says he.

Enjoy!
Sending that to the appropriate precipitant. I guarantee he will enjoy.
Jean-Luc Picard.
Mostly because they somehow nailed Xavier as being similar to Picard, sometime before Stewart was cast as Xavier.
