The Top Ten
  1. Wolverine

    Wolverine is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly associated with the X-Men. His powers and abilities include an accelerated healing factor, enhanced senses, and his signature adamantium claws and skeleton.... read more

    James "Logan" Howlett is easily my favorite mutant in Marvel Comics. He is without a doubt one of the most badass characters in comic books.

    He has an indestructible adamantium skeleton and adamantium claws that burst through his knuckles whenever he wants to use them. He also possesses an incredibly strong healing factor that makes him almost invincible.

    To top it all off, the guy is over 100 years old thanks to his healing factor and has fought in three major wars: World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War.

    Of course he's number one on the list. I mean, he was a soldier and a samurai. He fought in every war and lived.

    Well, of course he lived. He has a healing factor. Deadpool's healing factor may be better, but Deadpool got his healing factor from him.

  2. Magneto

    Magneto is a fictional character in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is most often associated with the X‑Men franchise. Magneto is a powerful mutant with the ability to generate and manipulate magnetic fields.

    He needs no introduction. He is equally evil and a sympathetic cause.

    Many of us humans share his disdain for humanity, empathize with his trauma, and respect his friendship with the Professor.

    The best X-Men villain and one of Marvel's coolest villains overall.

  3. Storm

    Storm (Ororo Munroe) is a mutant superhero appearing in Marvel Comics. Her first appearance was in Giant-Size X-Men #1 in 1975, created by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum. Her main superpower is weather manipulation, and she has served as a prominent member and sometimes leader of the X-Men.

    Storm has the coolest power of all of them.

    Storm is the best. Goddess!

    Her powers are amazing!

    Cyclops is my favorite X-Man. He's a skilled leader with powerful optic blasts and several other skills.

    He's an Alpha-Level Mutant and a total badass.

    He is awesome. I hope he can be alive again in the X-Men.

  8. Deadpool

    Deadpool is a fictional antihero created by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in New Mutants #98, published in February 1991, and was created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza.

    While he's technically an artificial mutant, he still temporarily became part of the X-Men in his sequel, so you're allowed to say he's your favorite X-Man.

    I mean, you have to admit he's gained way more popularity than Wolverine, and he's so damn funny. Greatest Marvel character ever.

  9. Rogue

    Rogue is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men. She was created by Chris Claremont and Michael Golden. In the X-Men film series, Rogue is portrayed by Anna Paquin.

  10. Nightcrawler

    Nightcrawler is a member of the X-Men. His main power is teleportation. He appears in many video games, movies, and TV shows featuring the X-Men, and is known for his blue skin, agility, and devout Catholic faith.

    He's a hairy blue Catholic German with six fingers, six toes, yellow eyes, vampire-like teeth, and a devil tail. He teleports, leaving behind the smell of sulfur and the best comic book sound ever: Bamf!

    Nightcrawler is the ultimate outcast and the coolest X-Man.

    Really, 15? He is one of the most important X-Men.

    While a lot of the X-Men are just going around fighting, he actually does other stuff. He is a great, deep character and could beat a bunch of X-Men up.

    I love this character in the arcade game. He was my first draft pick.

    And by the way, teleportation is AWESOME.
