#24 :cool:

[GingrBeard]

Just came here to post this. I wonder if Puck will make the list? I doubt it, but they do have other non-mutants on the list I think.

[Alphan East]

OK, time to place your bets for who will be #1... I'm guessing the odds on favourite would be Wolverine. :)

[Flightpath07]

I'm guessing Magneto will be in the top three.

[rplass]

Hey that's great! I'm glad JP made it into the top 25. I think he should be higher but still that's awesome.

[Chris]

The top 20 will probably be composed of these X-Men

Professor X
Cyclops
Angel
Beast
Marvel Girl
Iceman
Wolverine
Colossus
Nightcrawler
Storm
Kitty Pryde
Rogue
Rachel Summers
Magneto
Psylocke
Dazzler
Jubilee
Gambit
Cable
Emma Frost

I figure Wolverine will be ranked #1 and no Box or Puck on the list.

[Jason Eberly]

Quite a surprise who was #1...and more of a surprise who slipped all the way to #5, tied with Cyclops.

[Chris]

Darn. My #1 prediction wrong.

It should have been Northstar, but hey, that's a pretty darn good #1. Definitely one of my non-Alpha Flight favorites!

[Flightpath07]

Shocked by number one.

S-h-o-c-k-e-d.

I had no idea "this X-man" was so popular.

Or did one person just go online and vote for their favourite X-man, like, 1,500,000 times?

[EccentricSage]

This is pretty lame, though. They basically just asked a group of industry people and a handful of fans they placed on a panel to pick the greatest X-Men, so of course it's just the fanboy favorites of a handful of people. I mean, Marrow? Really? I thought she had potential but she was an incredibly ****ty X-Man and a poorly handled character. Also I'm pretty sure I remember Paige Guthry being thrilled when she discovered her powers... it was what made her a refreshing character... She was envious of her brother and desperately wanted super powers. But they write about her like it was this horrible thing... And where is the rest of the list? I'm only finding the 50-21 or so... Are they not finished? Nightcrawler and Storm had better place pretty high or I'm calling shenanigans. lol The way this list is going, I'd guess Maggot or X-Stacy for #1. I'm getting late 90's vibes.

[Flightpath07]

And where is the rest of the list?

I think you have to click on the links. "Read part 1!' "Read part 2!"

I do like their #1 choice.

I got the whole list on one page... but tl; dnr.

Either that is some kind of abbreviation I'm not aware of, or you just had a stroke.

[Le Messor]

Can't it be both?

(It stands for 'too long; did not read'.)

[Jason Eberly]

Whew...I thought maybe you were telling us "do not resuscitate", which is what it means in my circles.

[Le Messor]

No, why? Do you know of any reason I'll need resuscitation soon?

[Flightpath07]

No, why? Do you know of any reason I'll need resuscitation soon?

*puts down pillow, looks sheepish*

[Le Messor]

So that was YOU!

[Flightpath07]

I was just going to fluff it and put a mint on it...honest!

[Le Messor]

The mint covers up that decaying smell nicely.

[Chris]

Now Marvel needs to publish The 40 Greatest Alphans of All-Time!

[Le Messor]

Yeah!

[Phil]

#1 is clearly Wyre.

[Flightpath07]

#1 is clearly Wyre.

Are you sure? Smart Alec?

[Chris]

Wyre #1? No way. Manikin should be #1. and #2 and #3 and #4

[Le Messor]

Then Northstar would be #5 and #6 and #7... (He's just so fast he can hit them all in what seems like an instant.)
