    46. Colossus – 336 points (2 first place votes)

    42. Magik (Illyana Rasputin) – 374 points (6 first place votes)

    38. Psylocke – 424 points (5 first place votes)

    33. Beast – 502 points (7 first place votes)

    29. Rogue – 582 points (14 first place votes)

    28. Emma Frost – 583 points (5 first place votes)

    25. Gambit – 618 points (22 first place votes)

    20. Jean Grey – 871 points (20 first place votes)

    16. Nightcrawler – 1061 points (18 first place votes)

    15. Kitty Pryde – 1145 points (21 first place votes)

    13. Storm – 1191 points (25 first place votes)

    12. Deadpool – 1209 points (20 first place votes)

    10. Cyclops – 1530 points (46 first place votes)

    6. Magneto – 1739 points (18 first place votes)

    3. Wolverine – 2902 points (66 first place votes)

    The Rasputin siblings continue to maintain their popularity. I think they're the second most popular siblings behind Pietro and Wanda.

    If I am Colossus and I am a real person, I wouldn't mind seeing my ranking and my younger sister's ranking but rather add our numbers them up since we're siblings. Just my opinion.

    I wonder, how many X-men characters will be in the list.

    I am certain for the following:

    Wolverine

    Storm

    Cyclops

    Rogue

    Jean Grey

    Psylocke

    Emma Frost

    Nightcrawler

    Gambit

    Magneto

    Kitty Pryde

    Beast

    Iceman

    Professor X

    Jubilee

    Iceman

    X-23

    Mystique

    I hope Apocalypse, Rachel Grey, Mystique and M makes it.

    Can we consider Namor as an X-man ?

    No dead characters!

    I wouldn't list Namor as an X-man because he wasn't with them for very long. It's like counting Beast as an Avenger.

    Based on voting.

    People have to give a list of their top 10 with their #1 getting 10 points , #2 = 9 points, etc.

    It's really just based on voting that why you see points included. They also had this in 2011 and last year.

    if its all off voting people tend to have short memories, so that would explain it. People also tend to make recent events discredit things that happened 20 years ago lol, just ask anyone on the forums about beast lol including myself. So her stint with the Avengers, and relative non use over the past year more then likely hurt her standing

    Hmmm... Ok. I was told that it's called "of all time" because the voters have given us their 10 favorite characters of all time.

    I can totally agree with that

    And so do most people.

    Of course Marvel wants to tell you that Iron Man is their number 1 hero but that is more of a wish then anything else.

    I know its uh Favorite of all time, but lets be honest recent events always weigh more on peoples minds then old stuff even if they shouldn't and recently Kitty has been meh, and off playing footsie with Star lord, while Hawkeye has finally made it to a movie. So yea, I mean Kitty > Clint but this list is going to be skewered so might as well brace yourself for it lol, im amazed the X men are doing as well as they are considering the comic terrain these days

    It's nice to see Storm and Kitty as the top ranked Marvel women.

    I think we all know who the remaining 10 will be:

    Doom

    Thor

    Hulk

    Cyclops

    Magneto

    Daredevil

    Captain America

    Wolverine

    Iron Man

    Spider-Man

    He did debut in an X man related comic, and he has been way more involved in X men comics like X force for example then anything else, hes NOT a mutant but thats never stopped people from being X men before also Fox has rights to him lol but yea, i dont really LOVE him but its kind of a nice ace in the hole for the X men world lol

    @hopesummersforthefuture: I understand liking one character, but i still don't see how that makes you hate another. Wolverine and Cyclops were constantly at ends for a while, but that was one of the reasons i liked wolverine for the longest (im a big cyclops fan) so yea

    I am very sorry everyone. I have just realized I should be more respectful to the xmen for all the crazy shit they have done and how they shaped the universe.

    DEADPOOL IS NOT AN X-MAN!!!

    He did debut in an X man related comic, and he has been way more involved in X men comics like X force for example then anything else, hes NOT a mutant but thats never stopped people from being X men before also Fox has rights to him lol but yea, i dont really LOVE him but its kind of a nice ace in the hole for the X men world lol

    .....Quicksilver is a nice ace in the hole....Deadpool is a pile of crap.

    a very strange list. Magik more popular than Colossus. Emma and Gambit are more popular than Rogue. I'm guessing Wolverine in the top five. Where Iceman?

    I'm totally not surprised that Magik is more popular than Colossus, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if she's always been more popular. Colossus is impossible to not love, but he's never had the kind of mysterious badassness of his sister. I mean, sure, he can be pretty badass, but his is always the kind of earnest, passionate sort, where Magik is snarky and beyond it all, which is just more exciting.

    And which is also probably why characters like Gambit and Emma, the cool, cavalier types, would beat out the passionate and almost painfully earnest Rogue..

    Lol I think we should all remember it's a CBR pole....and that is a site where the crazies thrive and the logical get banned.

    I'm almost shocked that Cyclops made the Top 10 given the rage and hate he gets on that site.
