    Why even bother creating and introducing anew character if writers of Marvel aren't gonna use him... not even in the title "Namor:The First Mutant"!! Even Loa has a bigger part in Namor's title than an actual Atlantean mutant!! No point... No point!!!

    there has to be some background characters to make a story believable. Other people exist in the marvel universe besides Wolverine, not everyone needs to appear all the time.

    More like ALL of the X-kids are the only background characters!! Funny how a school focusing on a school atmosphere really doesn't deal much with the students!

    @papad1992: not all of them..

    Quentin quire, Kid gladiator, Broo, Genesis

    those 4 get a good amount of screen time. but over all younger hero's will eventually fade into the background the new x men had there time... now its over. the young x men had there time.. now its over. the young avengers had there time.. now its over. they may play with the avengers academy & wolverines x kids now but eventually there time will be over as well.

    & then we will have new kids to repeat this process

    When I said X-kids, I meant the awesome characters that I love from the New X-Men series! Quentin Quire, Broo, Kid Gladiator, Oya, etc... they're all second rate and boring! Besides Genesis. And I think the order is The Runaways, Young Avengers, and then X-Students... Young X-Men are members from the X-Students with the exception of like three. The only current teen group are Avengers Academy and the students at the Jean Grey school (which only focuses on like 5 kids).

    Which is why, as good as the title may be, Wolverine and The X-Men has unknowingly failed in trying to be a "teen book".

    Exactly!! They wanted to appease to the readers but ended up falling short... yet again!
