    Worst list ever, half of those were never X-Men, and Beak, Husk and Maggott are awesome and original characters.

    Usually these lists select unique, odd power sets and ignore any characterization. So it's always characters like Beak, Maggot, Cypher, Marrow, etc. It's a crappy way to evaluate the value of a character.

    Hardly. He was brought up on a warrior planet so he has some really good fighting skills.
    He was never an X-Man though so he has no place on the list.

    Contrary, I can't remember him doing anything worthwhile and it states in the article he was a member of Excalibur, It's just a silly article whether or not these characters actually held the title of X-Man, they are still "X-Men" characters

    seems to more be a list of of underused/underdeveloped characters that had strong fan followings and could have been more would the writers
    have tried harder, instead of having them frequently absent?

    I am so completely pissed off at whoever conjoured this sorry disgrace of a list!! It was so horribly put together that I can tell that this person didn't do their research (or didn't know how)!! If this guy really wanted to make a list about the worst x-men ever... maybe he should actually know who and what the X-men are and stand for!! Not all characters are meant for "ass-kicking battles"... Beak, for instance, was a character created for an emotional and meaningful interpretation! His moral was no matter what kind of mutant they are, be proud of who you are and what you can achieve with self-confidence!! And hooking up with Angel Salvadore was again a symbol of no matter what you look like... there's someone out there for everyone! 
     
    Plus Jubilee was one of the coolest adolescent X-Men ever... (next to Kitty of course) 
     
    I want to see this guys crudentials!!

    I think the most pathetic X-Men were in the Street Team.
    Not only Beak, but Longneck and Forearm.

    Beak is far from useless, he saved the multiverse during his time with the Exiles. How many other X-Men has saved the multiverse?

    I thought it was a pretty decent list.  Some of them I wouldn't have put on the list, but they're just the writer's opinions.   
    Pretty funny commentary though.

    Why? Storm is freaking awesome! Can't believe you would put Storm on the worst X-Men list. Now I'm gonna cry myself to sleep and forget you ever posted that! LOL! I'm seriously shocked that anyone could hate Storm.

    So, getting past the fact that the list is poor because half of those on the list were never X-Men....
     
    Cypher...  
     
    I could see how a CHILD who believes that super heroes only get into fist fights, might think Cypher has a weak power...  However, he has the potential to become one of the most powerful people in the galaxy.
     
    Cypher automatically learns ANY language...The language of the universe is MATH...  This means Cypher is instantly a super human PROGRAMMER/ENGINEER...  He can (and currently does) hack into any system...  It was with Cypher's help that Warlock beat his father...  Iron-Man is powerful because he's smart enough to be able to design the Iron-Man suit.  Engineers need the ability to do math coupled with imagination.  (Yes, I'm an engineer and a scientist.)  If you read what cypher has done since being resurrected by Selene, you see that he's helped the X-Men win some SERIOUS battles.  No, he's not on the front line with his fists, but when it comes to talking to computers, he's unstoppable...  
     
    If I were to put together a new X-Men team, I'd definitely want Cypher on it.  A super team, in today's world, HAS to have it's tech people...  Saying Cypher is worthless is simply ignorant...

    Not sure if you can count any post in "Cracked" as being 'hate'. They're just trying to be funny by pointing out what many fans might agree on. Sure we can argue that their definition of X-Man included characters who technically weren't members of the team, but the writer was just trying to be humorous. And you have to admit that Chorus definitely belongs as number 1 on the list of worst mutant powers. 
     
    @IcePrince_X: I haven't decided if Pixie is interesting, yet. Mutant with fairy dust powers and fairy wings just reminds me of that She-Ra character

    Beak should not be on list, nor should maggot, the problem is they never went full tilt with them, Beak was meant to show how a weak thing can make you strong, he was also meant to be a two stage mutation, but he was depowed and then thrown into comic limbo, just because writers dont think outside the box, does not make these characters suck. Maggot could of been used for soo much more than marvel ever used him for, shame on the maker of very bad list

    @crackerjack82: That's a fair point.  Even though I hated Beak's mutation, he was a VERY interesting character.  Really, it's not the power that makes the character interesting...

    Wolverine's the worst x man, seriously.  He's got adamantium claws, plus the skeleton, a ridiculous healing factor, and the ability to survive pretty much anything that happens to him.  That is just stupid.

    These lists are always so shallow. 
     
    Some of those characters were not good, but their reasons were poor and superficial.
