    So lets all share some of the biggest ass-pulls/BS that have happened in the x-men universe.

    My all time favorite is wolverine single handedly wiping out the x-men in Old Man Logan. Biggest load of BS i have ever seen.

    "These are the Original 5 X-Men from the past. If they die our timeline is erased or drastically altered. Now watch as we erase or drastically alter their physical and mental character traits while having no effect on the current timeline"

    @koays: To be fair, Rachel is a BS character herself and that run was a goofy run without any effect.

    -Azazel trying to take over heaven. And Nightcrawler is the one X-men who decides to leave save it. STUPID.

    -T-mist gave mutants extreme versions of their powers post M-Day now they are a toxic gas.

    -Cyclops, Xavier, Jean, Wolverine, The Phoenix, and others X-men are dead. Yet they want to have the funeral of the century for WarMachine. (Which was beautiful btw.) Xavier's funeral was trash.

    -Emma being headmistress over Storm for so long-- AND THEN Wolverine starts the Schism instead of Storm and opens up a separate school.

    -Storm marries Black Panther with virtually no lead up.

    -Rogue being an Avenger, Kitty a Guardian, Gambit a merc, Beast with the inhumans, and other X-men MIA during one of the worst/dire events against mutantkind.

    -Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver randomly having their mutant story-lines rectoned away....

    -The Death of Wolverine felt like forced Fan-fiction. That didn't need to happen... The death could have happened with a organic story.

    -Anytime the Avengers steal something that worked for the X-men.

    -Anytime the X-men get sidelined during any major event in focus of Avengers or D-listers...

    -Iron Man beating Magneto................ We've seen Cap take out Iron Man. We've seen the Magneto take out the X-men...
    Cap>Iron Man> Magneto> X-men <--- I don't think so.

    -Wanda and Hope wishing the Phoenix away.

    -Wanda playing the victim for post M-day when everyone hates her-- so they recton it and say Doctor Doom was behind it the whole time...
    (I think Wanda would be really interesting if she was the only person who could restore mutant powers but at a cost)

    -The Inhumans just not caring that the T-mist kills mutants. Way to gain from the deaths of others call yourself heroes.... Then they wonder why nobody likes them. It seems the Avengers don't care much either.

    -Rachel never having a conversation with young Jean. MISSED OPPORTUNITY!

    -Anytime Jean is alive Rachel is gone or in space. They always miss each other. This would make some amazing character development.

    -Rogue not playing a part in AvX.... When she single-handedly wiped out the Avengers herself.

    -Mystique being the main character of the X-men films. And no just any old Mystique... Blonde white woman mystique who rarely turns blue....

    The O5 can't go back...for some reason

    Iceman was always gay "The signs were there"

    Sabretooth and Mystique being heroes

    Xavier marrying Mystique and they have a secret child together

    Wanda and Pietro are not Magneto's children, and Magda's child was never explored

    Not sure if this counts as X-Men, but Strong Guy killing Wolfsbane's son Tier.

    Story was making too much sense. They could still go back when they were 16 and act like none of this had happened...now they are all chronologically 2 years older then they were when the story started...meaning there is absolutely zero chance of ever making sense of this next level bs

    @koays: You really have a problem with Layla knowing stuff? That was well explained, and she didn't know everything.

    @tristanheron: Lol no. Shes arguably my favorite character from that X-Factor run.

    Its just you can put her anywhere and say "Layla has the answer and she doesnr have to explain how she has that specific answer a d we all accept it because....she knows stuff". Which is a heavily deconstructed and well written asspull
