i don't want to see her as the 'official' leader or whatever. i want
someone else get it and see what paige does to try to account for her being
"skipped".

of all of them, he's the definite pick. he's got self-assurance, a good
feel for his abilities, on-the-spot resourcefulness, a great attitude, and
everyone likes and respects him. this could change on paige's behalf if
he's picked as leader.

too young. it's just not feasible thatolder teens will take orders (or
even fully repect) someone who's a lot younger than they are.

please. if you were a decent looking person when you went to bed and then
woke up with an extra six feet or so, of what appeared to be melting skin,
i don't think that you would be too up on life or much else. i like skin
for the reason that he's not the "sensitive" one. he's angry about what's
happened to him and i think that is a very realistic portrayal of someone
in that situation. why should he be the "heart and soul" when he has his
own problems to deal with. not everyone is a nightcrawler.

Everyone has debated wehter or not so and so shoudl be team leader of GenX.
I think every one of the GenX group could be team leader. Its just which
one is going to fix there major faults first.
Paige: Wants to be team leader. Her problem is that she is hot-headed, and
doesn't think ahead. This is why she keeps on getting beaten on.
She might just need some more field practice to overcome this fault
but how much more can you give until she kills herself accidentally?
On another note, I think she is also trying to become someone that
she is not. I think if she would be herself, this would also improve
her chances of being team leader.
Synch: Thinks he has total control over his abilities, but probably not quite
as much as he thinks he does. He also probably needs more field
experience. He does seem to get along with everyone.
Might have the best chance of being team leader.
Jubilee: Has had the most field experience, knows how to control her powers,
and seems to have some good sense. Been around Wolverine, so this
is a plus and a minus. The plus side is that she probably has learned
good self-defense and offensive techniques. The bad side is that
she seems to have gotten a bit of his wildness. Take trying to hit
Gateway, for example. She is also the youngest (debatable, though),
and though she can control her powers, she hasn't tried to live up
to her "full potential". All she needs to do is grow up some, and
not be so afraid of her powers.
Skin: Needs to get out of his sulking. I'm sorry your skin is "messed" up,
but thats life. He could become the heart and soul of the team. Don't
ask me why, I just for some reason feel this way.
Chamber: Needs to get out of his sulking too. Nobody really knows him yet,
so I can't say much. His Alter-X personality would be a good team
leader, but alas, that is alt-X.
Mondo: N/A
Pennance: N/A. We don't know if she even speaks a language.
M: Has good potential to become team leader, if she could just get off
her high horse. She too perfect, and has this darn "sekret" to her.
Went into Catatonic state for unknown reasons right now. She does
have brains and skill. Has a little bit of Paige's shoot first/ask later syndrome, but that can be cured easily, unlike Paige, I would imagine.
Also seems to kiss up to Banshee a bit. ;)
Blink: BAHAHAHAHA, got you there! Well, you never know!

Well,my guesses are that Jubilee,Skin,Mondo,M,and Penance are out of the
race for leadership.Penance doesn't talk,Mondo is going to be to
relaxed, Skin is to unsure of himself and his powersm,M just doesn't
seem to be the leader type and probably couldn't care less.And though
Jubilee is the most experienced,she is still immature,and is afraid to
use her powers to the fullest...plus she's a little wild.
Now that leaves Synch,Paige,and Chamber.Paige has a one in a million
shot as becoming team leader in the near future.She's too unexperienced
and over confident and VERY foolish in battle,so I don't give her to
great a chance.
I think it will come down to Chamber and Synch.Synch is
confident,actually over confident.He can use his powers well and
couragous.He is very down to earth and smart.He lacks battle
aggressiveness,as well as spirit.
Chamber is not in control of his powers,ot confident and pretty much
sulks away from the team.But as shown in Generation X #3,he is smart,
trustworthy,commanding,intuitive,aggressive,surprising,quick
thinking,and takes the initiative.
I think these two will try to both take leadership roles and it will
come down to these two guys.

She wants to be team leader? Okay, I'm admittedly a newbie to the baby-mutant
books, but are the leaders of them usually the teachers? I mean, with the New
Mutants, I figured the leader was Xavier, Magneto, and then Cable. With
X-Force, it was Cable. Cannonball didn't become a leader in X-Force until the
teacher went away. Therefore, I would assume that Banshee and Frost are the
leaders of Generation X regardless of Paige's desires.
As I said, I never read the New Mutants much. Were they in the habit of
assigning team leaders from the student-ranks?

first of all I want to appologize for not quoting, I can't use the
editor on this system. (Darn parity)
I think that Sean will be team leader until, about issue 20+. He
seems to be in control, and as you stated, no one seems able to
fill the role yet. SOme additional comments:
M: No way, no how. She is way to independent and arrogant to
be a leader. How ever, I think that she is a _lot_ more
like the white queen than she thinks she is. I sense a
good plot development here.
Paige: Hmm, needs more training. probably best suited for a non
leader role. <she can turn into acid!> Just had to add
that. :)
Jubes: I think she picked up a "I'll defy you anytime, anywhere"
from hanging around Wolvie. Would not make a good team
leader. ex. "All of you pile on that guy over there,
I'll be at the mall."
Skin: Good possiblity. Not very good with his powers, not arrogant.
Easy going. Ditch the smoking and he'd be good. (Remember
Sam from NM 1-(c)35?)
Chamber: Better possibility. If he loses the body and becomes a
roving ball of energy he'd have possibilities. On a
similar vein Does anyone in the Marvel Universe have
vital organs?
Penance: Umm, is she even human. No basis for judgement.
Blink: She'll come back darker, and then could be in contention.
Synch: Not a good leader, interesting power tho.
The Scrable board: Currently the best possibility. :)
'Nuff for now.

don't for get that karma was the original leader, until she was kidnapped.

Actually, yes. From the very beginning, pretty much. And that goes a long way
to explain X-Force as well.
In the beginning, we had the New Mutants. They were replacement X-men for the
ones Charles (thought he) lost to the Brood. The team leaders were Psyche (who
later changed her codename to Mirage), and Cannonball. Now, it's true Dani and
Sam both had some problems with their powers, but they were new. They needed
some time to work it all out. Sure, Xavier was the team *teacher*, but he was
not the leader. Now, when Mags came through he tried to put a bit more of a
damper on the kids, but still, he was not the team leader. When the team were
in a crisis situation by themselves, they always looked to Dani and Sam for
their leadership abilities. When Cable came by, the team was still in a state
of shock from Inferno and all that other crap. They had sort of merged with
the X-Terminators (who led the X-terms anyway? I forget. Rusty, maybe), who
eventually accepted Sam as the leader of the combined team. Cable just sort of
took over in the coordinatior/trainer/teacher role.
Now, when Xavier came back, there was a confrontation between him, Cable, and
Sam. In the end, it was Sam, the team leader, who told Xavier who the team was
going to follow, what principles the team was going to follow, and why they
were going to follow them. In that way X-Force broke from Xavier's tutelage,
though they still remained a relative of the X-families. IT was just that they
grew up. Sam is still the leader of X-Force, but since the team is adult now
and since Cable and Domino have much more battle experience, the three of them
lead the team together, in different ways depending on who is around for
different situations.
This goes back to the times when Scott was chosen as a leader in Xavier's stead,
waayyyy back in the single digits (it was a recent Early Years issue). It also
is of note that when Xavier *did* get his legs back and *did* want to be the
team leader, there were struggles and conflicts. Cyclops and Storm were the
leader and backup leader at that point, and so there was some need for Charles
to know that the team could lead itself. IT was a sad lesson for Chuck, but
one that he accepted. He's more of a father figure-- guiding when around, the
giver of advice-- and someone who dearly hopes that his charges don't get
themselves killed. And yet, he knows the teams are in good hands.

Mike, I was fairly sure that issue in the late 80's made it clear: that
wasn't REALLY Shinobi---it was some ninja (I don't recall his name), and
he was posing as Shinobi! Remember the thought bubble: "That fool
Shinobi will never know what hit him!" Of course, a few issues after
the computer room issue, it was suggested that the john in that scene
was a robot.
Of course with the series cancelled years ago, I doubt we'll ever know
the acutal answer.

Speaking of Artie, I've been doing some rough sketches of an older version of
Artie... I mean, he's been a little twerp since the early days of X-Factor...
Leech has been a little twerp since the Morlock Massacre... When are they going
to grow up a little? I think the X-artists are afraid to age these characters a
little, fearing they will lose their childish appeal... However, the sketches I
drew up of Artie as a "mature" ten or eleven year old aren't bad... I can
picture him riding a skateboard about, attacking bad guys with his mental
pictures...
I haven't attempted to artistically "age" Leech yet, but I have some ideas for
him as well... For example, when is somebody going to try to teach him proper
English? I mean, he is at a private school, so the teachers must be getting
sick of him saying "Leech this, Leech that" all the time...
Why not move Leech and Artie to Generation X? They are at the right age to
begin developing their mutant powers to the next level...

their powers are fine. they're in school because leech never developed any
proper communication skills, and artie, while mute, can't read or write.
you're right, though, in that i'd like to see 'em make an appearance
again, especially since scott and jean should be their unofficial
caretakers now.

Or better yet, have Takai (I've got to check that spelling) pilot with
Artie "gunning" for him. I can see them swooping down making mischief for
everyone. (now, where is that darn cat! :)

Now doesn't seem to be a good time to move them over. Maybe around #20 or
so. However, some occasional "interludes" showing their development would
be welcomed.

when his powers manifested. OHATMU '89 Update describes him as
"autistic," which sounds very wrong to me. I think what they were
trying to say is that the trauma of his transition caused him to
revert to a nonverbal, toddler-like state. On the other hand, his
emotional stability, courage, and understanding of adult problems
seem to be far beyond his chronological years.

posts with my opinion that A&L's powers, when properly developed,
could become quite formidible.
Gee, it seems we've seen a real flurry of A&L threads recently.
And believe it or not, few of them have been started by members of

Um, didn't he sustain Sabretooth's powers for a while after the Phalanx story?
I remmeber M or Jubes commenting that he was still bulked up. Does he have any
limit yet to the number of powers he synch at a time?

1) M - It is obvious that she has her own agenda. Even though it has not
been explicitedly said to Banshee and the others, as has been to the
audience (Gen X 1), there are subtle actions that show this. She has
also has too many secrets for anyone to trust her enough to follow her.
2) Chamber- He is the oldest, but the least interactive of the team
(penneance isnt realy a memeber of the team yet. Hopefuly Gen X will
get a more charismatic leader rather then moody one.
3) Jubalee- Most experinced, but most immature. She came here realizing
that she wasn't ready for the responsiblities of being an X-man. It
also could show that she isnt ready to be a leader type. Anyway her
personality never struck me as that of leadership qualities.
4) Skin- Has emotional or physical limitations. While else did he stay
behind when they searched for penance.
5) Mondo- Who? We need to get more then a page of charecteraztion
before we make him leader.
6) Synch- Most powerful. That means nothing when it comes to
leadership. He however is on best terms with all members of team. He
also has shown capability to handle himself in hostile situations.
7) Husk- Trying to hard. Has expectations that are unreal. However
she is dedicated to the dream (you know that human's and mutants living
together in peace thing the bald guy came up with)
I think a co-leadership situation they had in New Mutants would work
well with this group. My choices would be Synch and Husk. What I want
however is meaningless. I think Shadowcat is capable of leading a goup
all by herself and I want her to be the tenth title. (I guess I'd have
better chance at the lottery. --

the team leader. Banshee appoints him to that position because
of his raw power, amicability with the team, and POTENTIAL.
Husk would be co-leader, this is good for several reasons.
1. The tension in the school would be increased. Husk has a
head start in the leadership arena, but watching her come to
grips with the fact that she may have something to learn from
Synch would be good.
2. I can see a great argument between Paige and Emma Frost.
Husk screaming at Emma for letting Everett lead the team, and
Emma saying the only reason she did it was to test Paige. I see
Frost as having her own agenda with Paige and wanting to train
her in HER image, as opposed to blending philosophy with
Banshee.

Not to seem clueless, but howzabout Emma and Sean? I mean they're kind of
in that leadership role. . . :)
I would hate to see Kitty in her own series, cuz it would probably suck.
I would like to see Kitty and Kurt get some useful teammates in Xcalibur,
not the losers they are stuck with now. I mean Petey's ok but he's not htere
yet. . .and other than that they all stink. Bring in Windshear, and purple
girl. . .they're cool and canada is part of the british empire or something
like that. (eh?) Other than that, I would say cancel that book and bring kitty
and kurt back to the X-Men. . .they could each lead one of the teams. . .

why hasn't emma given GenX some of the Hellions' old uniforms? she probably
has a lot in the closet, they looked cool, and it would cause her more ANGST!

Actualy, no, we are not part of the British Empire. Canada is completely
independent. We are one of the many Comonwealth Countries, that only have
a loose conection to England. The govenor general plays only a symbolic
role, and has no say in the running of our country.
Aside from that Windshear would probably make a good Excalibur member
(once marvel gets through with this AoA BS) There has been some talk
though of Northstar joining up with the Xmen after it's over. That I
would like to see, oh BTW the Purple Girl became Persuasion in about
issue 74 of Alpha Flight

We can dream, we can dream. I'd rather win the lottery than have Shadowcat
have her own series, though. Mebbe Shadowcat should have another mini

I guess winning the lottery would be best. ;)

I loved to see how he'd involve Gambit, the guilds, and Chandra.
Not that I don't like Gambit, but shouldn't the story be about Shadowcatt
(or for a real life example Rogue) and not but that person.

Yes, but that is different. They serve the same role as Xavier in X-Men, in
terms of providing strategy, teaching, etc. You also need a field
commander(s), sort of like the leaders of the Blue and Gold Teams. I would go
for Chamber and Penance. Yes, I realize we haven't had much characterization
of Penance. However, I distinctly remember reading somewhere that she was the
type to "change the world". I think they were comparing her to Collosus, who
"let the world change him." I also believe that in the same article it was
stated that she was from Yugoslavia (thus the comparison with Collosus.) If
anyone knows where I might have read this I would like to know. Not much has
really been said about her in Gen X.

First of all lose the caps buddy, it's just a wee bit annoying. I think
that Synch and Husk will probably be co leaders of the team (unless of
course the most reasonable thing occurs and the teachers are the leaders,
not likely though). I believe that Synch has the power and the
intelligence to lead the team, and I also believe that Husk will be co
leader because of strong desire to make something of herself and prove
herself to everone, of course she could just moan and complain until she
gets her way, but that's highly doubtful. I believe that Skin stayed
behind because he was afraid of his skin getting slashed by Penance.

she has great powers I mean look at her powers she has Rouges power
without suking people dry, and she is as smart as Forge and has the T.K.
powers of Jean. I think she and Synch would be perfect.

: just wanted to add that i think chamber is the best candidate, too. And,
: fyi, the '95 fleer ultra chamber team card has banshee saying that
: chamber was "born leader", somethin like that.
: just my few cents worth.
: vanessa goh
Call this my personal opinion, but Synch would be the best
leader in terms of abilities because he can 'tune' his aura to
the mutant powers around him, and he could easily synch his aura
to Chamber's powers.
P.S. In the '94 Fleer Marvel Universe cards it says synch could

P.P.S. I'm kinda new here.
