X-Title Awards 2008 - Favourite X-Female

[The Sword Is Drawn]

And following on from yesterday today's the turn of the X-Females. Again quite a lot of nominations in this category. Special mentions to Pixie and Psylocke, who only missed out on making the poll by the smallest of margins.

The Five contenders for this year's award are as follows:

Laura Kinney (X-23) : A big year for Laura. Having made the transferal from New X-Men to X-Force, working with her father/brother (Seriously how do you describe the relationship between partial clones) Wolverine. She's getting some good exposure there, right now.

Emma Frost (The White Queen) : Having a lot of bedroom scenes with Cyclops, being a key part of the X-Men's move to San Francisco, siting down at Norman Osborn's cabal table at the start of Dark Reign - it's been a busy year for Emma. :biggrin: Was she your favourite of 2008?

Ororo Monroe (Storm) : It's a hard life being Queen of Wakanda. All that time you have to spend away from the X-Men. But despite Black Panther primarily being her title now she still found time for a mini and a smattering of guest appearances across the year. She seems to have plenty support regardless.

Theresa Rourke Cassidy (Siryn) : It's been a trying year for Terri. What with being pregnant with Madrox Jnr, and his taking his time to decide how to react, and all. But despite her condition she's still managed to get quite a fair amount of coverage. It's not been a strong year for X-Factor, but she has probably fared better than most of the cast. Your pick?

Monet St. Croix (M) : What can we say about M? I don't think she's had a stand out year, but she has been very much active with X-Factor, and seems powerless to resist the charm of Longshot. I guess there are some characters who, even when the chips are down, some folks are glad just to have around.

So there you go, five X-characters, one choice. What will yours be? You have until the end of the month to vote. More polls on their way (We're getting there)

Over to you...

No Sage?

This vote is a mockery of the democratic process.

I abstain.

[worstblogever]

Monet St. Croix (M) : She's falling all over Longshot. As much as I love Monet, this clearly puts her at the back of the pack of the top 5.

Ororo Monroe (Storm) : She languished under the pen of Hudlin all year, only to show a little glimmer of hope during the Black Panther issues of Secret Invasion, thanks to Jason Aaron. Then, she's returned to the X-Men for quick little moments against Empath, and the start of the new Astonishing X-Men team. And lo and behold, some of Ororo's old independence and strength began to show... just in time for Chris Yost to get his hands on her, and get two issues of X-Men: Worlds Apart out where she's fightin' her man, to save her man, if that makes any sense. And showing some new tricks, we've never seen her pull off before, like blasting the Blackbird out of the sky from halfway around the globe. A strong finish to the year, but it doesn't make up for the first 8 months of being a trophy wife.

Theresa Rourke Cassidy (Siryn) : I'm happy for the upcoming mom, and loved her standoff with Val Cooper the past two issues. But she didn't get much to do other than be knocked up this year. I'm left wanting by one of my favorite X-females, she's done far better.

Emma Frost (The White Queen) : They practically wrote Emma into every X-book this year, at one point or another. She's defeated the Skrull Thought Wall. She's telepathically jackslapped Xavier. She's showed Martinique what the upper class do to dirty hippies. She's been f***ing Cyclops until he's chafed. All of this was to push her into an upper echelon of Marvel characters to make her seem worthy of sitting on the same group as Norman Osborn, Dr. Doom, Loki, and Namor. And, in spite of all that, was she my "best" X-female? Nuh uh. It just seemed WAY too forced.

Laura Kinney (X-23) : Because she's a compelling character, who's come so far. When the character debuted, I thought, "Wild Thing was lame in the MC2 universe, this will be pathetic in the Marvel U. Logan with boobs fails." Well, I was quick to judge, and way, way wrong. Seeing her conflict over her own nature, and whether she wants to be a real person, or just a killer in X-Force is moving. Seeing her absolutely tear people apart is great. For what panel time she gets, she's provided more bang for the buck than Emma Frost, for me, and I give her the nod over the WQ. Barely. But it's her.

[chickrockguitar]

Laura Kinney (X-23).

I mean, who else, right?!

[timbox]

I will vote on behalf of dn@n. X-23.

Add one extra vote to her count when tallying the results.

[The Sword Is Drawn]

LOL

No Sage?

This vote is a mockery of the democratic process.

I abstain.

In a democratic process people do actually have to nominate Sage for her to be eligible.

[timbox]

Voting is your civil duty. Abstaining is a form of treason and will not go unpunished.

[Mr_Hellfire]

Emma Frost, never a time where I won't vote her. :)

[tornshattered]

Emma Frost, never a time where I won't vote her. :)

Even if it's Biggest X-Whore 2008?

[Seres]

LOL

No Hepzibah?

This vote is a mockery of the democratic process.

I abstain.

I agree with this statement.

[Mr_Hellfire]

Even if it's Biggest X-Whore 2008?
Oh you know I meant in favor of her.
Besides, I don't she qualifies as a whore.

[tornshattered]

Oh you know I meant in favor of her.
Besides, I don't she qualifies as a whore.

She does. She really really does.

[Mr_Hellfire]

She does. She really really does.
Well, she doesn't do it for money.
Annddd, I'm sorry, the cheating on Jean thing isn't her fault. Emma wasn't the married one, anyone could've tempted him.
Besides that, I don't think it's bad to be a woman and not be afraid to admit to enjoying sex. I'd be more critical if I thought she was having sex for self-respect or some crap that my friends do all the time.
Amoral? Totally. Slutty? Depends on your thoughts on sex I suppose.

[RoguishGurl]

There's only one answer: X-23. I like Emma a lot, but X-23 has been better this year by far. And I am not just being a biased fan.

[timbox]

I agree with this statement.

That's another for X-23. Add +2 to the final count.

[Askani's Flame]

X-23 is my winner. She's come a along way this past year and I really enjoy her character.

Emma is and has been too forced for my liking.
I haven't been a fan of Monet since Gen X.
Ororo has literally falling off the map.
Theresa got knocked up
All fail

[tornshattered]

I chose Syrin, but if I had to choose between Emma and Laura, I would choose Laura(without a doubt).

[darknessatnoon]

In a democratic process people do actually have to nominate Sage for her to be eligible.

I would have nominated her if I'd known that voting stopped at midnight Greenwich Standard Time instead of American time.

[timbox]

Sage is never late.

[darknessatnoon]

Sage is never late.

I admire her processing speeds but I'm on CPT, timskeez.

[jarrod]

I abstain.
New Exiles is not an Xbook. Take your complaints to the MU board.

[Chaos_Alfa]

X-23 all the way :biggrin:

[DeniseXfrost]

Emma won by a land slide in the nomination thread.

[Will J.]

I'm not particularly a fan, but Laura's been an interesting read for me lately.

[The Sword Is Drawn]

Emma won by a land slide in the nomination thread.

Actually, X23 was a short distance ahead of her.

[FemGeek]

My vote goes for X23 aswell, shes had a really good year.
I mightve voted for M, but lately she's been pretty meh, but hopefully she'll pick up in 09.

[Dagger]

I can't believe I post with a bunch of homophobic racists! Why is Karma not listed?

Storm is already filling the quota for LGBT and minority. Take your frivolous lawsuits elsewhere.

Nay! That hot tranny mess will not fill my quota! I demand representation!

[Prodigy55]

Storm is a divine Goddess.

She's above your petty insults.

X-23 is the hooker with a heart of gold.

[Seres]

Nay! That hot tranny mess will not fill my quota! I demand representation!

Dagger has my full support in this matter.

[$5 Milkshake]

I can't believe I post with a bunch of homophobic racists! Why is Karma not listed?

Because, Uncanny has given no reason for her to be nominated. Thankfully, we have the amazing X-23 to vote for!

[darknessatnoon]

I decided to vote. I can't let a robot take the spot of #1 X-Woman. Emma Frost for the Gold.

[Bingo!]

LOL

No Sage?

This vote is a mockery of the democratic process.

I abstain.

You know Sage will continue gettin no love until Claremont relinquishes his smbd control over her.

Sage would like at least one of these ladies. I suspect it would be Emma or Laura.

You're such a clone racist.

HFC loyalty. The Devil She Knows.

[darknessatnoon]

You're such a clone racist.

Sometimes clones are better than the original.

For example, Stryfe and Madelyne Pryor are superior to Cable and Jean Grey. Claudine is better than Nathaniel.

Usually, they're garbage.

[Maestro]

X-23 is such a nice character. You just wanna give her a hug sometimes

[justinkos91]

She hasn't had that great of a year, but there's more to come for her
She has always been a favourite of mine
my vote goes to Siryn ♥

[protogarrett]

Where are Lifeguard, Petra, and Sway?
They were the faces of Marvel this year as they are every year!

[Prodigy55]

Petra doesn't even have a real name.


And she's fat

[Seres]

Petra doesn't even have a real name.



Neither does Julian Heller.

[jarrod]

I love Shan dearly, but her year has just kinda sucked. I mean don't get me wrong, it's been a HUGE step up, but it's still been a bit disappointing. The MD story was "okay" and her Uncanny cameos likewise... but I dunno, I'm still feeling let down in the end.

It's sort of like Dazzler's overhyped comeback that ultimately underdeliered. Only Shan wasn't prostituting her skrully ass for bike at the beginning of the year.



Kitty actually had a great year, albeit due to Wolverine FC. The Astonishing sendoff did suck though. She also had a nice Crosstime cameo in the ClanDestine mini (as did Rachel, Meggan, Brian, Kurt and even Lockheed and Alistaire... Ray especially rocked it).

[BBeeryan]

Storm is a divine Goddess.

She's above your petty insults.

X-23 is the hooker with a heart of gold.

Good one!:cool: :biggrin:

[Imraith Nimphais]

I voted for my one true X-woman...Storm...(though I have to admit, WBE makes a very compelling argument against)...2nd runner up would be Laura.

[Mia]

This post completely sucks! How can you put X-23 and Emma on the same list? It's like forcing me to choose between cherry cheesecake and blueberry cheesecake!:biggrin: !

As Emma is relegated to playing the 'girlfriend' for the time being. I voted for Laura.

But really all these ladies are completely kick ass! It's why I collect X books.

[Petes Pants]

Fellow Storm voters...I shall meet you at the monorail!

[Phoenix_Force]

Siryn all the way!

[BBeeryan]

Whoever made this thread betta start showin the GODDESS some !@#$%^&2#$% respect. Her name is Ororo Iqadi T'Challa. Don't make me chase you with a sock full of nickels.

[Phoenix_Force]

Wait . . . Hey, wait.

So T'Challa's first name and last name are both T'Challa?



wtf?

[BBeeryan]

Wait . . . Hey, wait.

So T'Challa's first name and last name are both T'Challa?



wtf?

Don't get me to start lyin, I don't know why her is that way. I just know that it is what it is. Ya feel me?

[Phoenix_Force]

I don't even know what that means.

So here's a bunny!

Wow really? I skimmed the thread and I saw Emma in almost everyone's list.

[psychic_therapy]

The clone is leading? Boo.

Well, to be fair, I couldn't find her married name anywhere. So I didn't use it. Show your respect by voting for her.

[Madrox84]

I voted for Emma.

Some people may hate her, but i think she's great.

[BBeeryan]

Well, to be fair, I couldn't find her married name anywhere. So I didn't use it. Show your respect by voting for her.

Aiight, I dropped the sock.

[WishIKnewStuff]

I have to say even though I've loved Storm forever and ever and ever 2008 was totally X-23's year. I am expecting huge things from her highness in 2009 though so don't let me down Marvel!!!!:evilsmile:

[Alphaxman]

It has to be Storm. She may have been mismanaged most of the year by most of the writing staff but her Mini series is too good to ignore. Yost will go down as one of her best writers.

[BulletSpeed]

X-23. Emma has a great year as well, especially considering the whole Dark Cabal, but X-23 owned 08!
