Beast. Besides the fact that he's an interesting combination of attributes that are normally mutually exclusive, none of his various incarnations have ever come across to me as grating or 'extreme' even in the toons. He's made notably less mature in the Ultimate X-Men continuity but then the same goes for the rest of them too.
Fave villain will always be Magneto, Prof. Xavier's eternal rival and colleague. Most of the others often seem one-dimensional in their desires and motivations (Apocalypse, Juggernaut, Master Mold, etc.). Runner-up would be Mojo simply because I like detatched villains with bizarre outlooks on the world around them.

Also, Nightcrawler. Blue dude is agile as shit and can freaking teleport, plus he looks effing awesome.
From the X-Men it's gotta be Gambit. But if we're looking at the larger X-Men Universe it's a tie between Darwin and Longshot seeing as their both freaking awesome.
woah... big toss up between Mr Sinister, Apocalypse and Scarlet Witch... too hard a choice... I always though the Scarlet Witch was lame... then I actually realised what she could do (read the 'House of M' series... you'll understand)... but I think that Apocalypse has just been such a badass JERK throughout the entire series that my vote goes to him! I mean... he converted Wolverine, Hulk and Gambit, and in alternate realities, Spiderman and Mr Sinister at the very least... I know, he's insanely evil... but he's just to good to NOT vote for! Apocalypse!
However Wolverine doesn't have THIS type of thing hanging over him...The_root_of_all_evil said:Alison Blaire aka Dazzler
Given she even punched Galactus, let's see old canucklehead try that.
Gotta love those rollerskates... and that disco ball necklace...
My favorite lady X-Man was always Rogue, from the comics though, not the movie.
The movie saw fit to omit the whole part of her life as Mystique's adopted daughter and absorbing Ms. Marvel's powers of flight and super strength permanently, putting her in a coma. Of course if they had actually gone according to the comics, each film would have been roughly 8 hours long.
I've always liked Wolverine to some extent but definitely loathe his overexposure.
I also hated when they finally revealed his complete past and real name in the comics, it took away from his mystique (no pun intended). Though I've yet to hear about the plot points of the new movie, from what I've seen in the previews, they've apparently omitted the presence of Alpha Flight from his past. Of course, again, the movie story is not the same as the comic story (sadly).
Other favorite X-Men...
The Dazzler - When she was actually a member from way, WAY back in the day. The ability to turn light and sound into destructive energy has always sounded awesome to me.
The Beast - Because I love his personality. Logical, charismatic, humorous... and when pushed to far with no other alternatives, he WILL physically overpower you.

No knocking "The Disco Dazzler." Haha! I have a soft spot for those over-the-top 70s & 80s costumes. I'm probably one of the only people who liked "mo-hawk" Storm too. She looked like Wendy O'Williams from The Plasmatics.PedroSteckecilo said:However Wolverine doesn't have THIS type of thing hanging over him...

I'm shocked anyone remembers Longshot, hehe. Funny enough, me and a friend were digging through some old DOS games recently and found X-Men II: Fall of the Mutants... and Longshot is a selectable character for your team. He looks WAY too happy to be there in his character portrait... and also resembles MacGuyver, haha!Hangman said:
Deadpool......He's close enough.
And if you have a problem with that.....Gambit.
"Playin' For Keeps is still playin', mon ami."

Actually, it's probably best NOT to invoke any of the art from 70's X-men...hell, just forget ALL of 70's Marvel...The_root_of_all_evil said:
We got Power Man out of that (shudder)
