Beast easily. The guy is supposed to be this morally upright character that was the moral center of the group, except he's done some of the most morally repugnant crap while still pretending he's the good guy. You can maybe chalk that up to interesting character development, but they never seem to actually do anything with him being a major hypocrite, nor does anyone ever seem to call him out on it so I have to assume its just terrible writing.

I have to admit to getting a case of the giggles when Storm did what she did to him in IvX.

@phoenixofthetides: Looking closely at the scene, you can see every bit of Emma in there. It makes sense because

1) It is Emma's plan. (Also Magneto's and Storm's, but I doubt they would be able to think of a clever way in regards to telepathy as my as Emma does.)

2) Emma trained Jean when they joined Scott's school during Bendis run, so Jean's style is her different now then from her regular counterpart. It is subtle, sneaky, and ouright embarrassing for Karnak who has precognition and the ability to find weak points. Great way of demonstrating what Jean learned over the years and the amount of power she possesses.

3) Her line towards him is very Emma. "My feelings are hurt, Karnak. I've always considered myself a warrior." So, sarcastic. I lobe it oddly enoughenoughj. That shows how much of an influence Emma had been to Jean, if you still consider the fact that they became friends and Jean is younger than her. (Making her quite easily influenced.)

I meant in a non-in character way - as in the writer thought how Strange handled it in the movie was cool so kind of took that idea for Jean.

@phoenixofthetides: Real has:

Rachel Summers

Rachel Grey

Marvel Girl

Phoenix

Mother Askani

Prestige

If you don't count the last name change, that still gives a whopping 5 names.

Well, that's kind of cheating because she just got Prestige and I'm not sure we can count Rachel Summers or Rachel Grey...those aren't technically code names, right? ;o)

If we were to count proper names, then I think Jean would be winning:

Jean Grey

Marvel Girl

Phoenix

Jean Grey-Summers

Red

Redd Dayspring

*Would we be counting the alternate versions of Phoenix, such as Dark Phoenix and White Phoenix of the Crown and etc?

Hmmm, come to think of it, Wolverine and has a whole host of aliases, as well.

Who laughed at Beast when he got shocked by Storm? That was everything. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I would have too!! HAhahahaa!

Beast has had that coming since AvX.

That part and Dazzler vs Black Bolt were the best parts!

FINALLY A PERFECT X-ISSUE!

Loved it. I especially liked how Storm handled Beast. I noticed how no one else made a move to stop him because they all figured out what this uber genius would do and when Storm tazed him, it seemed to be by mutual agreement. Anyway, he deserved it.

Among the x-men, i think she has the most number of code names

I think Kitty Pryde still holds the record with 4:

Kitty Pryde

Shadowcat

Sprite

Ariel

Starlord

Emma is back to her old self, thank goodness.

Jean was my favorite part. Mind, stinking, blown!!!!!!!

Great start!

@kiba: He has been rather preachy to others yet could not behave himself. Let's just put it that way.

I really liked this issue. Too bad the X-Men did not outright kill some of the InHumans, but I guess that would be bad for the whole InHumans push. The only part about the Jean sequence is that it reminded me of the Dr. Strange movie, but it was still funny.

I do not generally like codenames but I would prefer a codename than none when every other team member has one. I do not mind 'Prestige', though Askani would be more appropriate.

She's more emotional than normal, but she's still taking names.

Magneto, Cyclops, and Wolverine - most of them are featured prominently in the storyline and have uber-high fighting strength.

I stumbled upon this one time looking through deviantart. The artist is listed at the top.

While I am not particularly a fan of the current younger X-Men, these line ups are pretty well put together. The Hellfire Club line up is the stand out for me.

I totally agree with you. I especially like how these lineups feature characters that could legitimately take over the mantles of existing characters and/or would totally fit in with the reimagined roles. The Hellfire Club, one of my personal favorite villain groups, is especially well-done. Pixie/Magik, Rockslide/Havok, The Sisterhood and Morlocks are slight misfires for me - not every character needs to take over an existing call name, but overall very well done.
