For all you X-Men fans out there…we got into a bit of a debate at dinner today over the question, “If you could marry anyone from X-Men, who would it be and why?” You can really see people’s true colors with that one. Anyway…I will reveal my selection after I feel there’s been an adequate amount of commenting. 
Okay…anyone from the first two X-Men movies…tell us why you’d choose them to be your spouse. It could range from Cyclop’s fast cooking capabilities to Magnito’s sassiness. Or could be Storm’s glowey eye thing or Mystique’s freakish ability to “become anyone”. Whoa. And don’t be dumb like, “I pick Wolverine because he’s hot.” You need to be a little more thoughtful that that. Well, I guess you don’t…but it makes the conversation more interesting if you’re…well…a little more interesting with your answer. I digress….

The special abilities Mystique has make her an intriguing choice, but she seriously freaks me out, so… no.
Storm? No. Just not my type.
Rogue is a teenager, but even ignoring that, before the cops got there to arrest me for marrying a teen I would be literally dead if I touched her because of that thing her skin does, so nnnnnnnnnnnno.
What other females are there (in the movies, I mean)? There’s Jean Grey, and… ummm… Jean Grey. So I guess I’d marry Jean by default. Did I forget someone? Kindof a dumb question for a guy to answer, but maybe I’m forgetting someone.
Meh, don’t worry about the teenage thing Josh, considering almost all of these characters (and certainly the ones in the film) have been around as long, and in many cases, longer than you have. They’re mostly in their 20s and 30s when you see them in the comics anyways.
Hmmmm, choices. Jean Grey is definitely a hottie (though I prefer her in her drawn version more than the movie version, I’m not a fan of Famke Jansen or whatever her name is), which makes me think that would be cool, since she could read other people’s minds for me, and we could win wit contests with others, etc. and know what they really thought of us. But WAIT! She could do the same thing to me! Any time I admitted that I was wrong and she was right, she’d be able to read my mind, and my safe way out is gone! Because everyone knows the guy is right, it’s just that the world is so goofed up that woman have changed what is right and made it wrong!
Seriously though, I think I’d have to go with… shoot, I can’t remember her name. Her nickname in the first film is Kitty, and she’s the one that can move through solid objects (other people can too if she’s holding on to them). Why? We could go anywhere! But even better, we could pull some awesome pranks. Hehe, out of nowhere, she and I pop out of your ceiling going boo! And when you threw stuff at us in a rage, it’s to no effect! I’m loving this!
Oh, and the Cyclops comment is hilarious. I’m sure X-Men fans the world over are protesting your domestication of such a badass character.
So… I’m thinking we might not get a whole lot more entries at this rate. Who’s your X-Men hottie Steph?
LOL. Good call, Neal. Everyone seems a little frightened to say anything. Or they just don’t care, or… I have no idea. Maybe you and I are too eager to shoot our mouths off at every opportunity, but sometimes I think everyone else is too quiet.
Yeah, people seem to like to lurk rather than chat. It’s puzzling, but people feel like they have to write something nobel prize worthy if they’re going to comment at all. *shakes head* Sheesh people, it’s just like hanging out with friends and chatting. Go for it!
Maybe it’s because I got used to the whole internet discussion thing in a forum, or something, but who knows? People just don’t feel like sharing sometimes, and then will comment about things you wouldn’t expect them to. Go figure.
K, these are the ones I would consider:
Bobby Drake/Iceman: Obviously he’s a teen, so I wouldn’t go for the underage thing. But, he has a sincere heart, really wants to do the right thing, is honest, loving, caring…all that stuff. So, he’d be my ultimate choice, except for the whole underage thing.
Logan/Wolverine: He’s the hottest of the bunch and will always look good because of his sweet healing powers. He has wins the “sexy” award as well. But, he’s also non-committal and always has one foot in the door & one foot out, so…NO.
Scott Summers/Cyclops: I’d go with Scott as my selection. He’s hot, has some cool driving toys (love the motorcycle), is really kind & supportive, & looks cool in his special sunglasses. Although I’d never be able to gaze into his eyes (unless it was just before dying), I’d take his strong, steady personality anyday.
There you have it!
Just watched X-Men the other day. TOTALLY SCOTT as my selection, hands down, even think he’s hotter than Logan. I was trying to get Josh to select Storm as his choice. Jean Gray is nice, but impulsive and overrated. Storm is beautiful, chilled out, doesn’t seek attention, is very concerned with the welfare of the children, seems pretty confident in herself…if I was a dude I’d pick her.
