What Should Prof. X Do Now?

[marvell2100]

Now that most of the X-men have turned away from him(a few exceptions), what should Prof. X do now? Should he try to make amends? Maybe start a new team? Or should he just go solo for a while? What do you think?

[Excelsior]

Kick Scott's ass then mind rape Emma.

[Arrogantcur]

I know I'm dating myself with a reference to these commercials, but....

...what's he gonna do now? Go to Disney World, of course! :tongue:

[Ravel]

With Magneto they should form a new team in the place he belongs the x-mansion, and have some heated rivalrys with scotts team over whats right or wrong for mutants.

Team members:

Rogue
Gambit
Cannonball
Mirage
Sunspot
Syrin now named Banshee
Rictor

Kick Scott's ass then mind rape Emma.

Lol! Or vice versa!

[nikbackm]

Kick Scott's ass then mind rape Emma.

Perhaps you will get your wish in the upcoming Legacy issues.

[Slung]

Perhaps you will get your wish in the upcoming Legacy issues.

Probably not. My guess:

We are reminded how amazing Scott's leadership abilities are, how Prof X has messed up and we see Emma and Scott go at it again and then have pillow talk.

[Canemacar]

Perhaps you will get your wish in the upcoming Legacy issues.

Nah, Cyke and Emma are the X-offices golden couple. They fart rainbows as far as Alonso's concerned. Xavier's going to get a beatdown from each, I bet.

[xgeek52]

canemacar is right...for the foreseeable future scott and emma are it...once legacy is over, xavier will find his way to the city by the bay, but don't look for it before the first of the year...

[nikbackm]

I doubt Xavier will look bad in his own book. Just see how well he did against Exodus and Sinister.

No, I don't expect him to lay a smackdown on Scott or anything like that but I am sure Xavier will come out of it with his head held high.

[Henry T.]

Xavier needs to find Jean and then form a team/counter movement with some combination of the following characters: Rogue, Gambit, Iceman, Cannonball, Rachel, Havok, and Polaris.

Books need interesting and popular characters and interesting character dynamics as well as good stories.

Xavier is a great character but as the lone core character he is kinda boring.

[Flight]

Buy a toupae and a tracksuit, and join the gym!
It's mid-life crisis time!

[Teh m0nk3y]

Why is Cannonball on most of the fictional "Xavier Team" suggestions?
Aside from the Rogue, Iceman, and Cannonball trinity... In what way would Sam be opposed to Scott on an Ideological basis?
Feels almost like people keep ignoring the militant side of the character from back in the X-Force days, and which culminated towards the last issues of the first X-Force volume.
Carey retained the Soldier persona during the pre-Messiah X-Men run. The guy should see eye to eye with Scott right now.
So please tell me why people keep throwing him towards the "Xavier" camp? Especially with his X-Force tenure.

Also, Xavier should move forwards and creating a new "team" is, in my opinion, moving backwards.

They want to see him with rogue and Iceman(who also has no real reason to "rebel" against Scott).

I agree, It would be interesting if Xavier finds Jean and then forms his own team of X-Men to counter Scott's new direction. It would also be interesting if Scott's team over in Uncanny starts to grow to become more like the Brotherhood and Xavier's team functions like the old style X-Men.

[xgeek52]

if you look back and think about it xavier has only been center stage a few times...
the various space trips the arc just prior to aoa and legacy (there may be more but i can't remember them right now)...

i'm telling you the clash is coming...an if jean is coming back it's gonna be serious...

[Omegastorm]

X-Corp stuff, I think he should work on building his legacy and creating an NGO based security system to protect the remaining mutants and on top of that stay out of Scott's way but secretly undermine him.

o

[Monty_Cristo]

he should find Shortpack.

[Omega Alpha]

Die.

If not, anything, I mean, anything other "form an X-men team". Fortunately, Carey is smart enough and already said this won't happen.

[Teh m0nk3y]

[marvell2100]

Die.

I'm assuming then that Carey plans to stay on the X-books forever.

It seems to me that Xavier has a harder edge to him. Wait, "harder" might be too strong of a word to use, but he doesn't seem to be the old "turn the other cheek" Xavier. Seems more of a "talk softly and carry a big stick" kinda guy now.

If he were to start a new team I'd think he'd have:
Amelia Voight(first pick)
Gambit
Havok
Polaris
James Proudstar
Siryn

[Mikl C]

Not be the star of a boring ongoing comic, hopefully.

[Cayman]

Replace Kitty in the bullet.

[Slung]

I love Carey. But I'm tired of Prof X.

Replace Kitty in the bullet.

Or Jean in the WHR. Please.

:rolleyes:

[sneggz]

I vote for Xavier to be relegated to Danger Room 101, and Creative Powers Use 102

[MIMIC616]

I vote for Xavier is right:

Mimic
Rogue
Gambit
Cannonball
Mirage
Shotpack
Omega Sentinel

[XaviersMisprint]

Team members:

Rogue
Gambit
Cannonball

Sunspot

Rictor


i agree with this exactly. i had a lot of team roster ideas, illustrations and "fan fic" for a team almost identical to this, minus gambit and rictor, plus warpath and iceman. but gambit and rictor sound good too. maybe northstar and aurora eventually if the team lost any members along the way and were in need of replacements.

i think it would be cool if xavier assembled a small team of mutants, maybe three or so such as gambit, cannonball, and rogue or something to start with. maybe just gambit, northstar, and aurora, and then let it branch out from there. that way, carey can write the characters he writes best and the roster really isn't too far off from the characters used during his run.

[Hakael]

I think he should come back and mentor the kids. Cyclops is in no position to be doing it, and Emma has proven multiple times over that everybody dies when she's mentoring them. He's gonna have to save his dream for the next generation, because Cyclops has obviously found it to be outdated.

[princesa]

I think he should re-establish his institute with a fresh start and a fresh vision and a new local. Scott is far too cold and relentless (except when he's playing Emma's lapdog). He should reach out to:

Magneto
Storm
Nightcrawler
Rogue
Gambit
Colossus
Omega Sentinel

[Saturius]

I don't know what should happen to him. I just wanna say that it's sad how the X-office has crapped all over the character. Xavier was and always should have been a decent guy, but once Deadly Genesis came out, they just had him doing "evil" crap after evil crap, piling it on extremely thick so Scott could loook good and take his place as leader of the X-men. I don't know why they couldn't write this character out of the books with a little dignity. Scott was always meant to eventually be the leader of the X-men. Xavier should have just stepped down without all this needless bashing of his character. And I do expect him to get crapped on in the following issues of Legacy with Scott and Emma. I'm sure even Emma is gonna give him a telepathic smackdown, as irdiculous as that sounds.

[Imraith Nimphais]

He should channel "Captain Kirk"...(with Lilandra as "Uhura") and boldly lead the Starjammers out in the farthest reaches of space.

[Pro]

I'm sure even Emma is gonna give him a telepathic smackdown, as irdiculous as that sounds.

Indeed, world's strongest psi, and after being repowered by the M'kraan crystal he was said to be even more powerfull. Emma should stand no chance against him.

[ProfeZZor X]

...Announce his candidacy for the United States of America.

[jarrod]

Join the X-Men in SF and finally get married to his old flame, Magneto.

[Reflex]

Wake up to hear the shower running and find Moira in the shower.

The last 10 years have been a dream.

Or alternatively he could grow a pair. Stand up to that whiney red eyed sex addict and his twisted manipulatively devious masochistic leather queen.

Rebuild the Westchester school. Declare Scott's team a travesty of monumental proportions. Whose biggest downfall is that they are no longer distinguishable from the enemies they face with their own cold, merciless bloodlust.

Assist the High Evolutionary come up with a cure for decimation. Restore Blob to his blobby goodness as a test.

Reconstitute the X-men and through various encounters slowly convince the West Coast X-personnel that they are really the pawns of the Shadow Hellfire's. A Hellfire club led by Emma Frost who has been mind twisting the X-men over the last couple of years making them believe she is good, twisting Scott's brain inside out to allow her to control the X-men through him.

Gradually members of Scott's team will defect. Starting with Storm, then other members of the West Coast teams. Leading to the eventual psychic smack down between Charles and Emma.

[Michael P]

Run for Congress.

[maigen]

I think he should retire, becoming devestatingly addicted to the internet, and play telepathic peeping tom with the 24 year old that lives in his building.


OR...He could dole out spanking to those oh so naughty Summers love birds and regain his rightful place as head of the hut (philosophically speaking). He would of course need to gain at least 10 pounds and adorn himself with little more than robes in order to become the ultimate Buddha icon.

[jarrod]

Go back to his Senate seat and continue fighting for women's reproductive rights. <3 <3

[LordAllMighty]

I'm already sick of the Scott and Emma show, so I hope he starts a new team.

[marvell2100]

Ok so now after the events in Legacy, it looks like Charles and Scott have made their peace. I still wasn't too thrilled with the ending of #216 as I think there still should be tension between the two. Where does Xavier end up in the world of X?

[We R. Venom]

Just because Proffesor X is done with the X-men doesnt mean he can't be usueful. He has taken them as far as he can, or could. But the X-men arent the only mutants on the planet. He can teach others as well. Besides that, i'm sure they will need his help for somethign again or vice versa.

[HeckBoy]

I'm sure even Emma is gonna give him a telepathic smackdown, as irdiculous as that sounds.Yeah, Deadly Genesis just opened the flood gates for Xavier-hating. I'm all for humanizing characters (thanks to the cartoons and what not, up until Deadly Genesis, I had always seen Xavier as almost saint-like), but now Xavier's just getting dog-piled with all these new "revelations." His Deadly Genesis mistake was bad enough, but now there's all these other things he may have apparently done with malice (or at least some hubris). I would've much rather he stepped down gracefully and gone into semi-retirement or something. Given all that's happened, it'll be pretty hard for me to see Xavier in as positive a light as I once did. Even looking at some of the cartoon re-runs, I'm finding it kinda hard to picture him without thinking he might have some ulterior motive to what he does. :/

[darknessatnoon]

He should jump off a cliff.

[AcesX1X]

He should go back in time and mindwipe AOA Bishop. That way Legion can kill Xavier like he was supposed to, and we'd get AOA forever and ever.

[We R. Venom]

He should jump off a cliff.

It's funny you say that, cuz he can actually do that now!(By way of his moving legs)

[Push You Down]

I think retirement would be a good option. The man deserves it.

Let him settle in to a quiet life and make his appearences actually mean something.

[marvell2100]

I think that he will lie low for a while and possibly somewhere down the line appear with a new (and some familiar) group of mutants. It too much of an opportunity for Marvel not to take.

[Cain Marko]

He should get killed by the Juggernaut. Then the Juggernaut and Magneto have a few compelling character moments over Charles' death.

http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq303/Cain_Marko/JuggyandMags.jpg

Then Xavier can come back after a few years with renewed importance as an event storyline.

[DeniseXfrost]

Get hit by a bus.

[worstblogever]

He should go to a wheelchair basketball game and taunt the players about how his paralysis got reversed again.

Hey, Kitty Pryde said he's a jerk.

[DeadXMan]

trademark anything X-_______

No love for Omega Sentinel
She's in character limbo now :frown:
(I ♥ her white costume too)

[TJKernan]

I like the idea of Xavier and Scott opposing each other philosophically.

I think he should come back, create his own team back in Mass, and they should be rivals.

He could pick up Voght and the remnants of The Acolytes, maybe repentent and unused Nasty Boys, Gambit, Rogue, etc, etc...

[lockerogue]

The Professor should take Sage out on a Father Daughter day. You know to make up for lost time. They could go to the park, he could catch her when she slides down the slide. Push her on the swing. Buy her some ice cream then take her out to eat at her favorite restaurant. And if that bitch Dian Fox tries to ruin it Charles has the right to destroy her.

[justinkos91]

:confused: What about Karima? :confused:

[oneshyguy46]

I agree, It would be interesting if Xavier finds Jean and then forms his own team of X-Men to counter Scott's new direction. It would also be interesting if Scott's team over in Uncanny starts to grow to become more like the Brotherhood and Xavier's team functions like the old style X-Men.

That would be awesome!

Scott's Team:
Emma
Beast
Dazzler
Angel
Karma
Gambit
Pixie
Havok and Polaris (i think Havok would follow his brother...just my opinion)
Omega Sentinel

Prof X Team:
Jean
Wolverine (i think he would follow Jean's direction)
Storm (i think she would follow Jean's direction)
Nightcrawler
Rictor (i just want him in this :tongue: )
Rogue
Cannonball

[DeniseXfrost]

^Karima would automitcally be in Xavier's team.

[Teh m0nk3y]

Cannonball has no reason for leaving Scott's X-Men. Sam's past history during his X-Force tenure showed his opinions and how far he is willing to go for the greater good. Cable and Pete Wisdom forged him into a soldier, and Mike Carey didn't ignore that trait. That's why Sam was angry during Divided We Stand, but now with Scott's direction things should be in order.

[Seres]

He should join the Quest For Lockheed.

[Eye in the Sky]

He should jump off a cliff.

It's funny you say that, cuz he can actually do that now!(By way of his moving legs)

This made me laugh.

I was gonna say run a marathon, but I see that type of joke as already been made.

[Red Lotus]

I like what he is doing now. I like how he is trying find who he was and who he is he is trying to find his place in this world because he knows its not with the X-men anymore. This is fresh and its the most they have did with him years.

[SkinFromBone]

I don't really like Xavier he's kind of boring though I wonder if he still has the mind gem? Maybe he forgot where it was? I saw someone ask a couple days ago somewhere if Emma maybe got a hold of it at some point.

I think he should have stayed a Sinister Xavier :eek: Otherwise just...let him go over to an exiles team and bring over sage and Betsy /shrug
