Wolverine - When I first heard of the X-men, he was instantly my favorite. I love his "I go where I wanna go" attitude. I HATED what they did with his finally uncovered past though. That was beyond wack.
Gambit - Shadowy past, red eyes, and cards with kinetic energy? Gambit is and always will be one of my favorite X-men.
Bishop - Time traveler with big guns. Bishop is just cool.
Cable - Another time traveler I like. His ongoing struggle with Apocalypse was great to me.
Rogue - I've always thought Rogue and her super strength and flight capabilities were cool. She deserves to be on this list.
Iceman - Bobby Drake's goof-off attitude and the different ways he can use his powers always kept me interested in his character.
Colossus - Whoever created this character, I applaud them. His character design is awesome to me. I also just love metal heroes.
Psylocke - One of the sexiest X-men characters. A british/asian ninja with a red scar on the eye? It can't get any better than that.
Nightcrawler - I don't really have much to say about Nightcrawler besides the fact that he is a very likeable character.
Storm - I just love how powerful of a mutant she is with the elements. She also has that leadership edge which is cool to me.
