I personally like gambit so i was upset he was not on there, yet there were people who were in the x-men for one comic that made the list, very weird.&nbsp; Should have made a special section for Jubilee and ranked her #113468934`6034`613478960346,062940869047-675962

<p>Chamber can be seen as an X-Man in the Poptopia trade</p>
<p>Jamie Madrox - Never an X-Man.&nbsp; Was offerred a position, but became Moira MacTaggert's assistant instead.<br /></p>
<p>&nbsp;Strong Guy - went from being Lila Cheney's bodyguard to a member of X-Factor<br /></p>
<p>and...</p>

<p>What's IMG?&nbsp;</p>

[PhishHead]

okay thanks for update Jon and Eli...i just felt they picked alot of people that were not in X-men for long periods of time and did not contribute much.&nbsp; I understand liking Kitty and her story lines, but just seems weird to rank her so high to me, i mean come on Jean Grey is like #6&nbsp; yet kitty is #3??&nbsp; But also i dont like banshee and archangel being ranked at all

[Sheeplovr]

<p>Where the Hell is Gambit </p><p>this list sucks stupid fox owns Ign
now so its a asked countdown what a suprise the bottom 5 are all the
main parts of the xmen movie</p><p><span class="postbody"><font size="3" face="Arial">And no Gambit - best decision&nbsp;of any of the decisions on the list. </font></span>&nbsp;</p><p>I think your trying to break up with me eli&nbsp;</p>

[furie]

i would have shuffled the top ten a bit, but i'm not too upset.

[kdubya]

<p>I am glad Gambit was missing, he stinks. </p><p>Also the fact your can list the top 25 X-men shows what is wrong woth the X-men, way to much going on, and way to many charectors.</p>

[JustJon]

<p>Gambit was created to be a darker Longshot.&nbsp; Real planning in the character development there.&nbsp; Personally, I prefer Longshot.&nbsp; I liked that in this serious, angsty team, there was one guy in there who was always having fun and juxtaposed well amidst the darker members.</p><p>And I love Kitty Pryde, dunno if I agree with all the positionings, but most of the top 10 are good.&nbsp; And of course Archangel belongs in the top 25, as do all of the original 5.&nbsp;</p>

why did they make rogue fly, why would she have that power?

cyclops as #1!?!?! Blasphemy.&nbsp; There was never anything cool about cyclops.&nbsp; Even his costume sucked until after X-Factor.

While I would have put Cyclops as #4 or #5, i wouldn't claim Blasphemy. he was the stright man of the group that allowed everyone else to see cooler.
