For me, I'm not too picky with exact favourites, because you'll always be disappointed that they're not being utilised/used enough. I just try and enjoy who's on what team and find favourites in that particular series. The best thing about X-Comics is that anyone is always someone's favourite!

Even Maggott? I will say, there is a Marvel Legend I could do without. But you're right, pick a character and you will find that it is someone's favorite (so my apologies to the two people who hold Maggott as their favorite character.).

@BoyBlunder, Haha, I love Marrow too! And Cecelia Reyes, as well and I'd love Legends of both of those characters. But it's clear to me there was a throwaway character introduced in that era (for me especially) and Maggott was just that.
