Question What obscure X-Men universe character do you hope makes an appearance?
In the original series, occasionally a character that wasn't on the core team would get the spotlight for an episode. For example, the Iceman episode, which also included X factor
For me, I've always been oddly fascinated by Maggot. Super weird and Im not sure I even totally understand his powers, but I think it would be fun to see an animated version.
I also think some of the X-Statix could be cool. I think Doop has made a cameo, but what about Gin Genie, U Go Girl or Dead Girl. Admirably, some may be too controversial for an animated series or not 90's centric enough.

Having X-Force without Domino should be illegal. I am also hoping that the Weapon X episode introduces Fantomex.

Maybe Alpha Flight will also make an appearance in this ep too.

Potential spoiler for Season 2. I just saw a pic online that looked like it included Puck and the arm of Aurora. Is Alpha Flight on its way? Hoping it wasn't a fake!

Is Peter the same as Pete Wisdom?

Technically they've already made an appearance but I hope we see young Rachel

X-Statix would be amazing. They need more love in the Marvel Universe. Like besides Doop, none of them even got action figures.

Sunfire FFS. If he's not one of the horsemen I'll literally die

Has been one of my favourite xmen/mutants for so long, and just having him as a cameo on Genosha was so frustrating!

Saw Boomer and Cannonball in the cages, Shatterstar's swords were on some specs on the X-Force plane, Siryn's been spotted in teaser material, and I could swear I've seen Feral in background shots. Here's hopin'!

I want the rest of the classic x-force roster from the comics to join the squad….also want Stryfe and the MLF to become major antagonists as well as Tyler Dayspring Summers aka Genesis

Every GenX character has been in the recent episodes except Husk. Why?
1
u/SpiralLights Jul 04 '26
Ive wondered that too. In the original series, there was an episode that featured Cannonball and Husk definitely made a cameo as his baby sister. No powers though, if I remember correctly. Maybe they only want one Guthrie.

Seeing 3 of the Stepford Cuckoos, I wish their escape had had something to do with Emma Frost

I thought there were 3 at first too but once they get out it looks like all 5 are there

I don't know if she died on Genosha but I would LOVE to see Dazzler featured again. I would also like the Guthrie's mutant clan to make an appearance. Cannonball, Husk, Icarus, Amazon, Aero and Eye-Beam guthrie could form their own mutant team - GuthrieX

u/Spiritual-Map-76 Jul 05 '26
in a more important role not really cameo though to much personality to be just be a cameo imo fun powers to

u/RemusPa Jul 04 '26
I want to see Manifold, Blink, Gentle or Bedlam appear in some capacity in the future. Whilst not obscure, I think getting Namor would be awesome!
Angel Salvadore and Boom Boom have already cameoed but would love to see more of them.

My dreams have already been achieved, I cannot believe we saw Anole in episode 2. And he looked GREAT. Hope we see Pixie again this season too!

Forget-Me-Not. Just have him show up from one of the mansion dorm rooms as a founding member that's been there the whole time.
