5 Best X-Men All-Time

Another Wolverine movie comes out tonight.  The last one was fine, but the pressing question is, who are the 5 best members of the X-Men all-time?  I mean, how do you even comprise a list?  What makes a character better than another?  Well Wolverine is better than Banshee, that guys just screams. 

5 Best is different than 5 favorite. 

My 5 favorite X-Men all-time?  Easy.
  1. ICEMAN
  2. HAVOK
  3. GAMBIT
  4. ROGUE
  5. COLOSSUS
But the 5 Best?  Not easy.

5. STORM

She was not a part of the original team but has been a major player ever since.  You need someone who can control the weather, it's a must in the super hero game.

4. ICEMAN

Second member and the youngest guy in the crew.  I have always respected Iceman, seems one dimensional, but you clearly don't get it.

3. CYCLOPS
He's the leader.  Shoots red laser beams out of his eyes and is a bit of a ladies man (Jean Grey, Emma Frost, and Madelyne Pryor).  First guy Prof. X brought in, so it's a big deal.

2. WOLVERINE

There isn't a solo Cyclops movie.  Wolverine is a bit of a wild card but gives the X-Men some toughness factor.  The little guy can fight, where would they be without Weapon X?

1. PROFESSOR CHARLES XAVIER
Who else?  Without him you got nothing.  Boring I know, but he is the best X-Man.  And he was reading minds long before Sookie Stackhouse. 


I was never a Beast or Archangel fan, but Nightcrawler deserves a shout out as well.  Psylocke and Bishop were decent too.  So many members!
