X1: Jean Grey, Storm, Emma Frost, and Rogue/Magma/Psylocke.
Level up Jean and Storm’s shields and they are literally invincible. Literally could stand in the midst of a reactor core and survive with them.
The gimmicks in the game are really fun to abuse. Like Jean’s upgraded to being capable of lifting cars and boxes larger than herself. Emma’s Diamond form being strong enough to lift large boxes. Rogue being able to lift basically everything and do the fastball special. Jean and Magma creating telekinetic bridges. Magma’s lava bridge sliding like Iceman. Flying characters lifting and carrying characters over gaps. Nightcrawler being capable of teleporting with other characters to other rooms.
X2: Jean Grey, Storm, Rogue, Scarlet Witch.
Bit of a downgrade on female character choices (literally only these four), but expanded powers and skills were fun to explore. Wanda’s gimmick of having a percent chance to transmute enemies is pretty fun. Rogue being used to absorb energy from machines is cool. Jean loses her shields, but gains a resurrection and some energy aura abilities. Storm has an invincibility power (never used it, but a learned later it was op as heck).
When I did do rotations for special dialogue’s, I remember Nightcrawler getting swords, which was incredible. Magneto was basically another Jean with energy damage instead of psychic damage (not a bad thing. Telekinesis is fun to use).
