Have You Ever Wanted To Choose The X-Men? Vote Today!
by Tony Thornley
The entire Krakoa era of X-Men has been one of firsts. Now, readers get another first, as they pick the final member of the upcoming X-Men roster.
Readers will pick from ten mutants, some fan favorites, some black sheep, to round out the roster of the first diplomatically chosen super-team. From today, January 27, through Tuesday, February 2, readers will be able to vote at https://www.marvel.com/characters/x-men-vote for one of the ten finalists:
1. Banshee
2. Polaris
3. Forge
4. Boom-Boom
5. Tempo
6. Cannonball
7. Sunspot
8. Strong Guy
9. Marrow
10. Armor
Several have been stalwarts of the X-Men. Others have served in the auxiliary teams but never the main squad. Hell, a couple of them have been Avengers. Plus there’s one choice that’s so far out of left field that you can’t help but wonder what Jonathan Hickman might have planned for her.
And after the voting is all over, members of the Marvel Insider program can enter a sweepstakes to be drawn into the Hellfire Gala, where the new X-Men team will be revealed to the world.
It all comes to a head in June at the Hellfire Gala, which is already shaping up to be huge so stay tuned to the X-Men line to learn more!
