I've always had an affinity for Havok but I'm not sure why.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

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.

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.

Order, honour, duty, responsibility.  What's not to like?

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:
