2) Storm- married off to BP, gone from the X-Men for a while, and a shell of her former self now that she's back
3) Rogue- Emma probably appeared in X-Men more than Rogue did, and that was Rogue's team. She spent like a year in a coma, and hasn't been seen much since
4) Kitty- sent off on a magic bullet
5) Psylocke- pretty irrelevant these days
Aside from Emma the Frostitute, I'd like to see Sentry, Rachel Grey, and Red Hulk bite it. Maybe put them all in a ship and send it into a black hole.
End.

I actually love Emma Frost. She's a unique personality in the Marvel universe when she's written correctly (as Whedon did). She can be a grade-A b----, and I think that's great!

Sure, I know Fred Dukes is not a first-string villain, but I don't pretend that he is. Dazzler was much-hated among general X-Men fans when she was first introduced, and a lot of people have never found a reason to change their minds. I'm not being mean, I'm just stating a fact.

No not really, you're just stating a fact according to you. Sure she's not A-list but that crap about being much hated among X-Men fans that's just something you pulled out of thin air.

Nope, that fact is not pulled out of thin air at all. I was around as the Claremont/Byrne series came out month by month. I remember. I think if you poll people about the weakest point of the Claremont/Byrne run (which is the best the X-Men have ever been), that the introduction of Dazzler, which was forced on the creative team as a corporate tie-in, would receive most of the votes. At the time of her introduction, most people did find her lame. A mutant who uses her powers to give herself a lightshow to help her singing career ... that's not exactly the stuff of which legends are made.
So it IS absolutely a fact that many people have never gotten past Dazzler's lame debut. How can anyone doubt it? If she were more popular, she would have been used in comics more consistently in the past few decades

All these new kid-Avengers could buy the farm. I'm having a tough time keeping score on who's who with them. Power Pack can bite it. Thin out the X-Men while their at it.

Ummm you mean like a solo title for 4 years and then being part of the x-men for 5 years after that? Yeah the facts according to you are really just washed over with your opinion. Sure she's not popular as Thor, Wolvie or the other heavy hitters nobody is saying that but Marvel would have hardly published a title that was not profitable let alone continue to use a character that wasn't popular in the X-Men and Excalibur for such a long period of time. Oh what's that? they're bring her back for the new arch of X-Men. Umm yeah soooooooo hated by X-Men fan. Sure not there are quite a bit of haters but to say that most X-Men fans hate her is really your opinion Neil.
