>>114173842I grew up with Morrison's X-Men and the Ultimate stuff, so I've always wanted to write my own "2000s" X-Men run that developed those ideas further. I was going to do a reboot of a self-contained X-U in my own AU. I'd start off with the O5 and whatnot, but things would be a tad different. Anyway, this isn't relevant, so I'll just post the main X-Team I was gonna go with after all was said and. Think of it as the X-Men at their peak in-universe. I'm also posting my preferred costumes for each of them. So whatever AU you use, be it AoA or whatever, is just representing the costume/look. The team'd be:
>Xavier>Phoenix>Cyclops>Rogue>Sage>Fantomex>Magik>Wolverine>ArchangelSome would've changed allegiances, others would be dead, others would be totally different. But this is my X-Peak. It'd be a mix of Xavier Institute Professors and Field Agents. There are others who'd be simply Professors, like Beast and Emma, and a pretty small X-Force Team (Domino, Psylocke, Syrin, Gambit, and Doctor Nemesis) but this is the "Big Leagues". And there's also the "X-CLUB", my version of the Illuminati/Cabal. I have some ideax for X-Calibur (probably a Euro-Division) and X-Factor (I'd probably call the XI Faculty like that, so Beat, Emma, Piotr and a couple more) too, plus the Brotherhood and the Horsemen. And I did have an idea of "Ultimates X" being Mutants working for the Government in the vein that the Ultimates did, and being selected out of PR and whatnot. I'd have put Xorn in there, but I was a big fan of the Xorn/Zorn Brothers in 1610.
I'll share more if anyone cares and the thread's here in a couple of hours.
