Power overlap isn't the problem, good X-Men stories revolve around them being a family of sorts. Emma doesn't really fit the team, and doesn't work at all without her past as enemy and rival. And Chuck in the battlefield just doesn't work. Betsy would be the best candidate, but what it really takes is for Jean to be well written.
