Polaris' rack is surprisingly asymetrical.
I've always had an affinity for Havok but I'm not sure why.
Never heard of Havok and Polaris I must say.
I used to really like the beast when I was a kid and hated how under used he was in the cartoon.
Only time I saw Havok was in the sentinels series (the greatest comic book series of all time in my limited view). Seems like Havok spent the whole series doubled over in pain and occasionally exploding and blowing up a room. Was that the nature of his power or something specific to that story line?

No, he did that at several points in the series. He was often used as a substitute for his older brother, and so they often added some angst about how he had trouble controlling his power.
Alex with Warren as a very, very close second.
Myself, I always liked Cyclops best.

Mr. Wooden Boy Scout? Meh. Other than the walking retcon clusterfuck that is Jean Grey, he's probably my least favorite of the originals.

For somebody who busts on so many people for their little hobbies, it's pretty funny to see that Neil is a comic book retard.
Based on the Saturday morning cartoons, I'm going with Beast. Cyclops was kinda annoying, and Jean Grey is extremely annoying as well as being a Mary Sue with Jesus tendencies.
Only knowing the characters from the cartoon = :bleeding: . Well, I guess unless it's Pryde of The X-Men, which was awesome.

I've watched the movies, too.
And played the old SNES games. :blush:

Do I bust on people for their hobbies? Maybe if those hobbies are choker-wearing and being from Poland.
I voted Alex Summers, although if I'd thought about it a bit more, I'd have chosen Hank McCoy. Havok was no Avenger.
Warren, although it's for a reason that's definitely not in first-gen: Archangel. They could have just turned him into another emo-Alex, but they fought the urge and came up with one of the coolest characters in the Marvel Universe, IMO.
Voted Cyclops, could have voted Jean or Hank were I in a different mood.
It warms my heart to see that the good doctor McCoy has such a large following in this board. Must be the scientific nerdiness, or something.
Since I prefer Wolverine out of all the muties and really can't be bothered to have any other favourites since I'm not a huge fucking x-men nerd I voted Jean because she has the nicest tits of the bunch.

Particularly when he busts peoples' chops for crap polls, and then craps this one up by leaving out the only required choice.
I vote Whogivesafuck as my favorite.

Alas, I would agree, except that I had given up comics by the time I was old enough to appreciate the subtleties of WW. My youth was: culturally bankrupt. :(
