Create a Young X-Men team

[Zombie Uatu]

This has no doubt been done before, but not recently, and not with the rules I'm going to impose on it, so it probably warrants it's own thread.

Create a Young(er) X-Men team, with the following constraints:

You must have at least 2 characters from each of the following (but see below):

New Mutants
Generation X
New X-Men\Young X-Men

You must also include at least one original new character, and one existing full-time X-Man to mentor the team.

You may choose to substitute one character from any of the above titles for another entirely new character.

You must have a maximum of ten characters, and a minimum of eight.

You may also post a short history of your team, set in either current or future continuity, but this doesn't have to be part of your original post (I'll post mine later).

I will begin:

Cannonball (leader\mentor) (NM)
Moonstar (NM)
Husk (GX)
Jubilee (GX)
Hollow (GX)
Rockslide (NXM)
Anole (NXM)
Dust (NXM)
Reach (New)

- Danielle Moonstar/Mirage (Leader/Mentor): She's a better teacher than Emma wishes she could be.
- Karma (Co-leader/ Assistant Leader): She needs to play a role in some way.

Comedic Relief; these two seem to always be picking on each other:
- Rockslide
- Anole

Possible Romantic hookup:
- Husk
- Chamber/Decibel

Other members:
- Stepford Cuckoos (3): They need to play a role somewhere. Why not let them be mentored by a former psychic, Dani, and be mentored by Karma. She may not be at Emma's level, but it's a start.

How is it I sound like an idiot? My opinion!
Plus in the books, the students liked her more; saddened by the fact she was fired. I'm also going on what I've read too. I wasn't trying to be deroggitory towards Emma, I'm just going by the fact that the students liked her more...

[Dementia5]

Moonstar (Leader)
Cannonball
Jubilee
Monet
Chamber
Rockslide
Dust
Surge
Karma

[Push You Down]

Realizing that although they are in a "war" for their survival, everyone is not cut out to be killers or soldiers Cyclops puts together a Young X-men team to be a intelligence gathering/spy team.

Gambit (mentor)
Skids (NM)
Karma (NM)
Dust (NXM)
Prodigy (NXM)
Vincente (GX...okay a bit of a cheat since he was only a member in the AOA but was a character in the Gen X comic)
Hellion (NXM)
A new technophile character..like Sage except not full of suck.

[Jack Flash]

i totally heart you Push You Down! Vincente is love!

[Jack Flash]

I totally love Young X-Teams!

Dani Moonstar with Valkyrie powers
Skids
mysterious doppleganger of Rusty
Anole
Rockslide
Mondo
Cordelia Frost
Vincente
Husk
New Character: Angela Stavros (Roulette's previously mentioned sister) She's got the same luck based powers her sister had.

Danielle gets a visit from Hela and is granted strength/wisdom as well as her Valkyrie powers back.

Skids is planted as a spy from Shield to monitor the X-men. Should she rat on them? Sally is all confused!

Rusty's doppleganger shows up right after Skids does. FREAK OUT! Who is he!!!! Turns out he's a double agent from Magneto's crew. Is it really Rusty!?!?!

Anole is placed on the team along with Rockslide to learn. Originally they aren't active members of the field squad along with another youngster, the new Roulette! She's just as bitchy and manipulative as her sister was and she's got a serious mad on for Emma's ilk. The three quickly get thrown into the mix and have to save the vets.

Mondo and Cordelia Frost turn up. Dating. Is it another clone of Mondo? Cordy's always been a tricky one. Can anyone trust her? Or her beau? They are the wild cards. Danielle especially doesn't like her.

Husk finds Vincente in a Mutie Carny show. He's been freed of Emplate's thrall, but severely abused, first by Marius and then by the human Carny folk that Marius sold him too. She takes him under her wing and promises to keep him safe. She decides that safety will be more likely with her brother's friend rather than on the main squad or on their own. Is that a promise she can keep when Marius returns?

John Francis Moore writes this. Chris Bachalo draws.

It's a twisty turny series in which the reader isn't sure who's on who's side. Who's going to betray who first? Will they manage to come together? or will they end up as fodder for the cannons?

Find out in 30 folks!

Um woa. Of the two of them, he's not the one sounding like an idiot now. Amp down buddy. Breathe... He's allowed to think that Emma is a terrible teacher.

Anyway....

Shadowcat: X-Men Mentor
Nightcrawler: X-Men Mentor
Moonstar (NM)
Siryn (XF... not exactly NM, but kinda similar)
Chamber (GX)
Prodigy (NXM)
Mercury (NXM)
Hellion (NXM)
Celeste Cuckoo
Wicked (who I repowered)

[jrc_burgess]

Mentor/Team leader; Kitty Pryde
(young enough to still relate to the kids but is still a fully paid-up X-man. Obvious choice. Inconveniently trapped in magic bullet flying though space... what was he thinking...)

Team;

Franklin Richards
('bout time for this kid to start being Fantastic*)
Rockslide
(muscle and comic relief. Probably the funniest character in the X-men continuity at the moment)
Dust
(great power, great character, great potential)
Pixie
(if someone wrote her as a kid again instead of the new Pornstar Barbie Pixie fom Uncanny then great choice)
Stepford Cuckoos
(pre-requisite team psychics, creepy and entertaining. Pretty funny too)
Blindfold
(just so much fun with the crazy ramblings)
Anole
(hes teetering on edge of being really messed up. Lota potential there. Running joke of every 6 months he loses a new body piece which grows back like his arm)

This group to me has the right mix of light hearted fun (Rockslide, Cuckoos, Blindfold, Pixie) and serious pathos (Anole, Dust, Kitty when shes all preachy). I think this team could be great. Must be better then the current Young X-men line up anyway. I mean Ink must be the stupidest character with the stupidest power ever.

*see what I did there.

Well let's see, Dani's students were upset. Not the Hellions. And when the book changed writers, (excluding the blood bath that was the whole bus debacle), the Hellion made up most of the team. They were the ones who were properly trained and quite frankly, who are still breathing. Especially after Dani left.

And let us not forget that, in HoM (which granted everyone there greatest wish) Dani got her own set of students and was no different from Emma. That just goes to show that anyone can surprise you.

Gen X. The only reason why most of the characters are gone or in obscurity are all because of circumstance and the fact that Marvel likes to pretend Gen X never happened. Emma taught them well. Especially Jubilee and M. Jubilee learned great leadership skills and how to build moral while M learned to be human, and to feel.

Mind your business. It's not your favorite character he is constantly bashing and saying nasty things about. When it's constant, I have a right to be pissed.

If you want people to mind their own business maybe you shouldn't air your laundry in a public forum, the clue is in the name...

He can say all the nasty things he wants about Emma (and quite frankly he's right 9 times out of 10, she was a great Hellfire villain and everthing after that has been crap IMHO) and you can argue with him all you want. But do it here and people can and probably will comment on it.

It's a comic book character.....don't be a douche.

[HellFrost]

Fine. I give up. I don't feel like fighting with everyone. Of course, you can still have an opinion and not be rude about it.

But whatever, I apologize for being upset that something I love and spend a ton of money (and time) on a month doesn't matter to some people, because they're just "comic book characters."
