As much as I'm an X-Man fan, that's simply not true. Wolverine and Deadpool are recognizable by the general public now. Magneto, Cyclops and Storm have high recognition outside of just comic fans and have bled into some of the public awareness, as well as most of comic fandom, and Jean Grey and Professor X may have a little bit of general recognition, and moderate awareness in the comic audience. Beyond that, nope. Nobody really knows their names or can recognize them on sight.

That's not taking into account readers of X-men of course, I'm just talking your average Joe, and moderate readers of comics either DC or Marvel. If you're an X-Man fan or read Marvel comics heavily that knowledge will of course change.

and FWIW, we will almost certainly get Gambit at some point, unless the contract goes under. He, Nightcrawler, Storm, Pyslocke, Beast, Bishop, and Angel are practically locks at being done. Some of the higher profile villains too and likely some of the New Mutants given there's a movie out next year. Beyond that, not so much.
