She's a human computer apparently, IE she can do anything to expedite the plot for washed-up Claremont. Gambit is a fine character, though his accent can get painful to read, but he really doesn't meet the criteria that has 'loyalty to Xavier's dream.'

Why the heck do you like their absence from the list? Give us some reasons. I do agree that Cannonball can be a great character as well as his sister Husk and the rest of the Generation X crew, they were all great characters. Specifically Banshee (may he rest in peace/come back in a few weeks) Both Sage and Gambit are great characters? Why the heck do you like their absence from the list? Give us some reasons.

If you look, almost all of the "New Mutants" generation is absent, but I think Sam (when portrayed correctly) comes across is a character that matured greatly under the X-Men's tutelage and came into his own as a leader. Oh well. I’m very pleased to see the following absences:

Emma Frost), I appreciate the list sheerly for it's #1 pick. He gets the short end of the stick far too often in whatever medium the X-men are featured in, glad that he's getting some props.
