Imagine the riots if AoA Rogue got the slot in a standard X-Wave over, say, Outback Rogue.

Also, AoA has a few more characters that would work for the BAF slot that, again, would invite rage if they were used as the BAF for a standard X-Wave.

I completely agree with this. We're very close to the point of relying on alternate costumes of most X-Men to fill out waves, though not so much their villains. Granted alternate reality looks are alternate costumes as well but I think that AOA is so niche and yes so marketable to its fan base, that keeping them in their own waves or sets is preferable. Especially when there's only so much they can do from it, and realistically the window to do it in would be maybe 2-3 years at most.

I can sympathize with those who don't like AOA, even though I am a huge fan of the story concept and designs. I'm not a fan of most of the early 00's looks, despite some raving over them, and I know it's just that not everything is going to be to everyone's taste.
