Default Who's family is more enterating/interesting?

So for the longest time Cyclops's family affairs have had a monoloply on the X-Men books. Whether its dealing with his Havok, his father, Jean, Emma, Maddie, Cable, Nate and Rachel among others has produced some interesting stories over the years.

But now Cyclops and his "family" are getting challenged by Wolverine and his "family": Laura, Daken, Erista and all those other Howlet peoples.

So my question is this: Who's family do you enjoying reading more about Cyclops or Wolverines?

Personally Cyclops and his ilk have been around so long its kind of boring. Like wise both Laura and Daken are becoming some of my favorite characters. SO i gotta go with Wolvie

It depends. We need to clarify Rachel's true parentage so we can vote. If she's truly a Summers I might have to vote Wolverine.

I'd vote for Wolverine just for him and Laura, I'm not a fan of Daken at all. They're working way too hard just to make him a 'sophisticated' Wolverine when he's really just a better-read one with more degenerate behaviour.

I'm just concerned they're going to keep trying to boost the Howlett brood, before long Daken's going to have an illegitimate son of his own the way they're pushing this stuff.

I personally like Daken. He's grown on me. Though im surprised he dosent already have a kid out there somewhere. He is 60+ years so plenty of time to play the field.

I also am curious to see how Romulus ties into all of the Wolverine clan because he looks like an older version of Logan with a hint of Sabertooth.

It is interesting how Wolverine's family and the Summers are the two big families of the X-books. The Summers have held the title for so long, but Wolverine's kin and clones and stuff are on their way up. I have no great love for either family, but Wolverine's family are more interesting at the moment.

Magneto's family could be up there, but they are spread out across the Marvel universe and actually tend to get pushed harder by the Avengers franchise then the x-books.

Yea, It's always convenient to have someone else tell you what's what 'n all...

Summers. I don't see the Howlett bunch qualifying as a family.

Even as dysfunctional as they are, are somewhat a family. Wolverine just has some random kids and clones out there. They aren't exactly a family.

And no matter if Logan might be Rachel's sperm donor, that doesn't make her any less Scott's daughter.

Wolverine, if only because his family members are still from the 616 reality.

Just wait until the first Summers-Howlet wedding and then try working out that family tree
