I'm selfish, but if The Watcher says cutting Wolverine is the only hope for comics, then homeboy's gotta go. I'm trusting his cosmic knowledge - in reality, Wolverine's ubiquitousness and his dominance of Cyclops is only a small part of my beef with modern Marvel, but if Uatu says he's the problem, then I must listen. Although he could just be pissed at him for trespassing in UXM 137.
Bonus: My all-new X-men lineup was already in my head before I posted the question, which sucks because I really want to steal Madrox now. Really want to steal him. Really bad.
Anyone, MY GSXmen #1 would have
- Cyclops
- Marvel Girl
- Iceman
- Angel
- Havoc
- Polaris
- Banshee
- Wolverine
- Colossus
- Storm
- Nightcrawler
- Sunfire appears but refuses to go
- Namor instead of Sunfire
- Thunderbird would appear but refuse to go
- The Blob. That's right, The Blob. In fact, I see Blob's powers being instrumental in the way they defeat Krakoa. Maybe it's the fat kid in me talking, but the Blob was no Magneto: sure, he was a bad guy, but no world-beater.
Then in UXM 94, all the original X-Men would leave. Cyclops and Marvel Girl would get married. Namor leaves just like Sunfire does (in fact, Namor fits almost exactly into Sunfire's slot attitude-wise, and with an undersea kingdom he has a very good reason not to stay). Banshee is named new leader. Blob stays because he hopes to become a normal person. Meanwhile, he develops a major jones for Storm and tries to rehabilitate himself for her.
That's my alternate all-new X-men. Oh, and the Sentinels find a new mutant in X-Men #98, an otherwise average skinny teenaged girl named Katherine Pryde, whose eyes enable Jean Grey to telekinetically pilot the shuttle safely back to earth without exposing herself to the cosmic radiation...
