>>98475209Carey had Rogue as the leader for like 5-6 years.
Claremont from Dark Phoenix Saga to Mutant Genesis had Storm as the leader, except during the issues that Storm leaves the team for a while (Lifedeath II and Fall of the Mutants).
Lobdell had Storm as the leader as well.
Gen X had female leaders like Husk and M.
New Mutants had Dani Moonstar as leader. Under Claremont and DnA.
New Mutants v2 had Windrider as leader and then Noriko.
Even Dark X-Men did, with Emma Frost.
And I’m sure Kitty lead some missions back during Claremont’s era, around Secret Wars II, but I’m not so sure.
Hell, evil sexy Moira acted as a kind of leader for the Muir Island X-Men after the Outback era.
