Question: Favourite X-men comic book character? Who is you favourite x-men comic book character and why... Also include what character would you have like to have seen in the films who wasn't included.\n\n\nI like Gambit and wish he was in the films.... but i would love to hear who your favourites are and why?

Answer: My favorite X-Men comic character is Iceman.  I suppose because he reminds me a lot of my favorite Marvel character of all time, Spider-Man.  Both characters have their serious side, but are still witty, even in a fight.  As you can imagine, I enjoyed watching "Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends" as a kid.  I really don't think Iceman, or most of the original X-Men lineup for that matter, have ever been given fair treatment in the movies.\n\nAs far as characters I'd like to have seen in the films, I will use the last member of the "Amazing Friends" I've yet to mention, Firestar.  Granted, she didn't appear in a comic book until well after her TV debut, but I would still like to see this "hottie" included in an X-Men movie.  Since Pyro is in the movies, having the two of them face off would be interesting, to say the least.  If Firestar created flames, one would have to wonder if Pyro could take control of them & turn them against her allies.
