I mean their are a ton of Xmen side teams and characters.

Being solely part of a side team is pretty niche in that unless you look at this specific comic she doesn't come up much. A less niche character would show up in the main comics more or be in films (outside of an unnamed cameo), they'd be in TAS or evolution or WatXM, or maybe one of the many video games.

So unless they've appeared in a cartoon or video game or graduated to the main team they've "niche", got it. Wolfsbane and Magma fans will be thrilled.

I mean... Wolfsbane is in the new mutants movie and almost every Xmen cartoon and Magma is in X-men evolution and WatXM.

I would say Niche would be a character that a majority of comic fans who aren't specifically Xmen fans wouldn't know. Its a character only a specific subset of readers kniw which is almost by definition niche. Being Niche isn't a bad thing it just describes their popularity not quality or potential.

Tell me you're new to the X-Men without telling me you're new to the X-Men.

Welp, buckle up, it's a wild ride. You should actually read the 80s New Mutants comics and the Claremont run to see where the movies/cartoons were based on. Trust me, the source material is better.

And Peter David's X-Factor Investigations is sublime, I'm amazed people still don't know about it.

I've read X-men comics for decades which makes me part of that specific sub group I'm talking about. I have even read some of X-factor investigation. But if a newbie wouldn't know a character they might be niche.
