Lets exchange Mutants?

[Teamballin]

Okay I know everyone has mixed emotions about the whole HoM aftermath. Alot of you are just like I am, thinking why did they keep this mutant a mutant but not this one? So here we go people lets exchange Mutants. If you could exchange only one mutant that is depowered for one mutant who does have its powers which would it be. It can only be one now, so choose wisely.

[Midnite]

I'd depower Mammomax, and keep Jubilee.

[Beast]

Depower Peepers (Who the hell is that?), and keep Beak.

[Ryan K]

Depower Peepers (Who the hell is that?)

You know I had to do this.

Peepers (http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/characters/showquestion.asp?fldAuto=787)

:)

[Beast]

You know I had to do this.

Peepers (http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/characters/showquestion.asp?fldAuto=787)

:)
Yeah, he definatly doesn't need to stick around. :p

[Teamballin]

I woulda depowered Wither in exchange for Tag.

[Flameworthy]

I'd depower Peepers also, in exchange for Polaris (If she is in fact depowered.).

[Faded]

>o<o>>.<<19191

[Christopher O]

I'm going to exchange Havok for Dani Moonstar.

[Faded]

I like this game. :) Even though the results aren't canon, its cheering me up. :p

[xakko]

Emma Frost for Dani.

Emma Frost for Pietro.

Emma Frost for Bobby.

Emma Frost for Blob- er, ok, maybe that's going to far.

[Teamballin]

Pete Wisdom for Iceman

[hybrid73]

well the affects of HOM wouldn't mean anything if it only effected the characters we didn't like.

[cosmicspidey]

Depower Peepers (Who the hell is that?), and keep Beak.

That's just mean. Beak finally has the chance to live a normal life now. Why would you want to take that away from him?

I'd depower anyone on Pete Milligan's X-Men team and give Iceman back his powers. In this order: Rogue, Gambit, Havok, Polaris. They could have always let Rogue keep Sunfire's powers for some reason, and then we'd finally be rid of this "angst" between Gambit and Rogue since they can't have sex.

[Faded]

They wouldn't mean anything either if they only affected characters who weren't being used.

[jcp011c]

Depower X-23 and keep Iceman.

[Teamballin]

X-23 is just like Wolverine tho, its would kill her if her healing factor was taken away.

[Black Hole]

I would depower Emma Frost and keep Prodigy.

[Teamballin]

To be honest tho with Xavier missing, they need Frost with her powers and leadership because she has been thru situations like this so many times. In the long run she will show Guidence.

I'm not certain exactly how she's been through situations like this before...but my choice still stands...the X-Men have gotten along without her for the majority of their history, and they could get along without her now. Maybe Scott needs her, but the rest don't.

Besides, they still have Marvel Girl...well, until her pending meltdown, I guess...

Prodigy, while still a mostly untested kid, has shown an incredible talent for strategy, which they could definitely use now. Heck, they could use him even though he's depowered, even though it wouldn't be exactly fair to him...

Well David was incredible because he had his powers in The Day After, we all saw ourselves that him depowered he doesn't know anything. Emma has been at rock bottom with her team the Hellions being completely wiped out and also when tried to protect Generation X from the Onslaught situation. Without Jean or Storm around she is the only female support system the X-Men have. In a matter of over a year she has push her to Xavier statues when it comes to priority. She slept her way... I mean earned her spot on the team. (subiminal).

[Legato]

Emma Frost? Besides the usual Anti-Emma rant I see no reason why she should be depowered.

Xavier for Dani Moonstar: It would have been interesting to see how Xavier would cope with not having his psychic powers. He would still be headmaster but it would be nice to how he would handle not having his powers.

Beast for Iceman: Beast always say that he wanted to be normal.

Archangel for Jubilee: Warren is a resourceful guy so Im sure he can manage just fine without his powers.

Rogue for Any of the Academy X kids: The older X-Men I could live with but depowering half of the Academy X cast is just plain retarded. Besides this could stop Rogue whining about how she cant touch anyone because of her powers.

Was David even in The Day After? I must have missed him...or are you talking about New X-Men #20? If you're referring to the part where he says "I don't know anything" I'm pretty sure he was talking about all of his 'extra' knowledge that he gains being gone. At least it seemed that way to me.

David has a natural intelligence that is separate from his (former) mutant power. You can always use a good strategist, at the very least to provide second opinions.

Additionally, while everything you've said about Emma is true, she is not needed by the X-Men...she certainly helps them, and is a valuable asset, but they've been doing this thing for awhile, and they can definitely get by without her. All of the X-Men have been through terrible tragedy, so they all bring that to the table.

[Black Hole]

Actually this thread never even required that we post reasons for our switches. It seems I posted to switch Emma with one of my favorites and the "usual Emma Frost defense" kicked in to debate my choice. Oh well...

They had Xavier to help them get thru those times or Jean. Without either of them they were crippled White Queen keeps gives them a edge now tho because she shows her evil side of thinking as well as her leadership role and goodness. Xavier could only think in the standard good guy way like MLK. With Emma its like a female Malcom X, "By any means necessary" thats what the X-Men need on they side, a criminal mind.
David can not be concered a real strategist because he always had his powers on his side. The fight with Blob was a good reference of his potential but he had his powers. Just by the Line he used in New X-Men #20 just goes to show he is only liabilty and not a asset.

What times..? Arguably some of their darkest times were the ones where they did NOT have Xavier OR Jean...like immediately after Xavier took off to space we had the Mutant Massacre, then they had the Fall of the Mutants where they actually died. Then they had to deal with Genosha, then the Reavers...when they were in Australia those were some pretty bleak times. They got through that and they can get through anything without her. And they've certainly never been "crippled" without Jean...maybe Scott, but everyone else could certainly move on. Hell, even he did.

They can also get through it without David. But my choice still stands. If I could, I would dump her like a hot rock and save David. The team would be better off for it. They already have enough criminal-minded people on their side.

If I were you, I'd go back and re-read the Academy X series and check out how he performs during the field exercise/danger room trainings and against the Hellions. He's a very bright guy and I certainly wouldn't consider him liability. Even with his power he certainly wasn't invulnerable or really causing destruction so he would just be doing the same thing he always did.

But the situation here is about saving David, my friend. So what that means is that he would have his powers. And that would immediately make him one of the best, if not THE best strategist on the team. A far more significant advantage than Frost would gain them.

Bottom line -David would be a much greater asset than Frost any day.

i'd exchange Regan Wyngarde for Blob.

[Brian M.]

Emma for a resurrected Jean.

All seriousness though I'd exchange Mammomax for Iceman. Get the originals back.

[Hippy-san]

I'd have to trade Tatiana for Kitty, that way I get to tick off Quesada and keep one of my long standing favorites. Or, if Quesada intends to actually put her in a book sometime soon, I'd trade Havok for Kitty just to retool his team.

Was Kitty depowered?

[Quarterwolf]

I would trade........Pete Wisdom for Domino. I think she was depowered.

If not her then Jubilee.

[Frank]

Depower Beast, keep Chamber the way he was.

[Nobbel]

Depower Beast and give Thornn hers back!

[Faded]

What. A. Loser.

[Volk1]

Chamber > Husk
Me likey, but Husk? For some reason I think something's bad going to happen to Icarus. I don't want too many bad things to happen to the Guthries :(

Preview > Martha Johansson
Me really, really, really likey! Who needs that floating brain anyway!? God, I wish this were so!!

Rictor > Avalanche
Hell yeah! Julio needs his powers back like asap. He's so desperate....hook him back with Rahne please!


Wind Dancer > Quill
Those crazy New X-Men need her back like an X-fan wants X-3 to be in theatres...... now! But Quill? I think he's cool......how 'bout Wolf-Boy? He mkaes me think back to those hideous Austen issues with those wolf thingys....*shudders*

To bring back my deceased honeys stealing souls:
Sway > Cyclops You really love that 1.5 team huh? :)

[Faded]

At the time, I was trying to trade people with connections (ie. Chamber and Husk--Generation X), and I was definitely not going to depower M. Plus, my passion for her has kinda died down rereading Austen's run despite me also rereading my Gen X issues. :(

OMG to think Preview was dumped for any character, let alone a floating brain or whatever Onyxx is makes me cry tears of grapefruit juice.

I traded all of my students for students as to not overcrowd the school again (since I do like a ton of the characters). I already depowered Wolf Cub. Quill was tricky because I like his jokester, fun loving personality...aww man now I don't know. Dang Volk, now I have to rethink. Uhm scratch Quill and insert...Wallflower. I'd say X-23 but I already depowered Wolverine and she's kinda interesting...or maybe Kidogo? :confused: I don't know!!!

Uhm...Carter G. from Austen's run will do. :D

[Faded]
