So this looks like the power team. An omega class telepath, the master of magnetism and possibly other things, a literally unstoppable tank, and an all-purpose super intelligent alien robot that can change its biology(?) to help itself out, plus the man with a nuke in his head. Good luck wolverine.

... and Illyana.

[rallamajoop]

You mean the teleporter with the magic sword who appears to be on first-name basis with a bunch of ancient gods? I'd say she fits in pretty well.

(That or she ends up being their glorified driver.)

[drmcninja]

Yeah, I'm sorry. I saw her, I just blanked her out while typing. She's easily up there in terms of sheer power.

[bruinsfan]

She's actually my pick for most powerful and dangerous X-Man even when the lineup includes Magneto, Storm, and Xavier.

[salinea]

You reassure me. I was just amused she was pointedly missed by the good doctormcninja XD

[drmcninja]

Hey, don't judge me! Fighting intelligent dinosaurs in the future for the sake of humanity is a very distracting endeavor, I'll have you know!

[jasiri.livejournal.com]

If you added Legion and Frenzy (who I'm surprised to not find following Mags around) it would be the team of "People Cyclops Probably Thinks He Needs To Kill If They Go Rogue"

[drmcninja]

Sorry, I blanked her out while I was typing. I swear I saw her.

[drmcninja]

I'm sorry, I can't even get over this. Exactly who is this team supposed to fight? The sheer power this team has could flatten literally any earthly opponent without much trouble. Its absurd.

[lilacsigil]

Like any X-Men team worth its salt, this team will probably just fight each other and have moral conflicts over who else they should or shouldn't fight!

[drmcninja]

True, but boring. That makes me sad.

[suzene]

As always, the X-Men are only as powerful as the plot dictates, regardless of past performance.

[long_silence]

It seems that the first arc will be up against a resurrected Mr. Sinister, so I guess that might mean a clone army of Marauders?

[drmcninja]

Still boring. He's good, and he could probably beat some of them individually, or even in smaller groups, but I don't think this team together. He could stil put up a really good fight though, so maybe not so boring? I can't believe I'm actually happy to anticipate this. Thanks!

[arilou_skiff]

It is kind of interesting. There's very few teams on their level. A couple that are HIGHER level (Defenders, Annihilators...) would squash them.

[drmcninja]

But the Annihilators are cosmic and I doubt they'll show up here, and I don''t think the Defenders are an active team at the moment, what with Namor in Utopia, Strange having his own problems, Banner with his family, and a new ghost rider.

I really hope this doesn't turn into a normal X Men book, with more angst and power levels that fluctuate by the issue. They've even offset the Inverse Ninja Law!

Maybe...

[steverodgers5]

...they'll fight the Avengers? Since that's Wolvie's 'other' team. Or one of them anyway ;)

Seriously though I wonder how strong Jussy Colossus is now? Do you think he's much stronger than cain would be? i.e His own steel strength plus Juggernauts? Because that would pretty much put him as top of the heavy weights...

Re: Maybe...

[bruinsfan]

I don't think Colossus' inherent strength would make all that much difference; the power granted to Juggernaut puts him on a level with the Hulk when enraged. I'd imagine Gladiator and Count Nefaria are the only others in that strength class who don't have access to cosmic power.
