X-Man has been gone for awhile, but when he was here which direction did you prefer with the book and if it was still going on which direction should the book have been in.

For me I liked the whole stranger in the strange land type character trying to adjust to this new world.

I would like for this character to never be mentioned again and to be forgotten. He was cool for like 5 minutes, with his mega psi powers that never did anything of importance. Leave him for the worms.

How can you say that when he was a pivotal component of Apocalypse's plan in the twelve storyline? :eek:

I liked the shaman angle best easily, but I'm not sure well he'd really fit into the current climate.

I dunno, he always seemed a bit like a Rachel knockoff to me early on... I don't think there's much you could do with him that you can't with her already, and it's not like she's doing much as is herself these days. :/

Because the Twelve storyline was so important. What happened in that story that still matters today? Nothing.

X-Man always talked about how powerful he was, and how conflicted but he didn't do anything to better himself. He should have at LEAST been on a die hard mission to kill all the AOA refugees, but no. Instead he re-created Maddie and hung out with Threnody, both of whom have been forgotten. He was supposedly good friends with Spider-Man, but I doubt Peter gives a rats ass about what has happened to him. X-Man was horrible. He was angsty to the max and yet had no reason to be at all.

I liked X-Man, and I prefered the stranger in a strange land storylines. So I say kill Rachel and bring Nate back!

I liked Nate okay too, but we already basically had his story with Rachel a decade earlier (and better told tbh). I just don't see what he adds that she doesn't already, plus she's already there to use.
