As more and more characters have been introduced, the game of whos who?

has become increasingly difficult.

And thats before you even consider those characters weve only come to know through alternate realities and multiple timelines.

And this year theres more to come.

In short, it will offer us a whole new line-up ofX-Mento get excited about.

Theres a problem, though.

Theres no Jean Grey, for instance, no Cyclops, no Iceman.

And Xavier, possibly one of fictions most famous baldies, has a suspicious full head of hair.

The fact is, leader of the X-Men is the one gig that Frost really, really wants.

But shell never get it while her love, Cyclops, is around.

Taking him out the equation, in my eyes, makes her the perfect candidate.

Surely, a given attribute for anyX-leader.

Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler (real name Kurt Wagner) has always been a favourite of mine.

For one thing, hes blue and looks like a demon (its his dads fault).

And another, hes a teleporter.

This is very cool.

And everyX-team needs a heart.

Hes had a tough life.

Lets face facts: Darwin simply rules.

Shadowcat

Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) deserves a place on the dream team for so many reasons.

However, Kitty remains fused to the bullet and disappears into the depths of space, seemingly lost forever.

Its like every break-up Ive ever had.

Wolverine

This one is simple.

EveryX-team needs a Wolverine.

You need some muscle.

Other options might include Colossus, Rogue, Bishop, Thunderbird, X-23 or Armor.

But Wolverine remains the obvious choice.

Ive selected him for several reasons.

Meanwhile, the mighty Hugh Jackman has portrayed him in fourX-films already, most notably inX-Men Origins: Wolverine.

No sign of him inFirst Classyet, though, which begs the question: when will Wolverine be back?

Because surely, Bub, its just a matter of time.
