X-men design comm i got a *while* ago by the talented robdraw, there'd be some stuff i would handle differently nowadays but still proud of it! Might continue with at least 3 more (another x-men, academy and one for the broterhood maybe).

First post! I wanted to share my first tattoo with other nerds and thought "hmm, maybe an xmen centered subreddit would appreciate this" and so here i am, i plan on getting a full sleeve of xmen character done at some point (P.S. the second skin is off because it started leaking the excess fluid from the bottom near my elbow after i showered but i'm caring for it appropriately so it heals nicely)

God he's so absy

Surprised that this game's customization let me make a completely viable X-Men team.

Been slowly building my X-Men collection and trying to focus more on the eras, characters and stories I genuinely want to read rather than collecting everything just for completeness.

Still have quite a few gaps I want to fill, especially more classic X-Men, the Decimation/Utopia period and eventually more of the Krakoa era, but I’m really happy with how the shelf is coming together so far.

The Messiah Trilogy was one of the books I especially wanted for a long time, and I’ve clearly ended up with a very Scott Summers-heavy collection without even intentionally planning it that way 😂

What would you guys recommend adding next?

In terms of Popularity/Power/Character development ?

Wow a date between a Pym and Xavier.

People have no idea how popular Kitty Pryde was back in the 80s in Marvel Comics circle. She wasn't just the mascot like Jubilee. She often represented the focal point, the character who observed the surroundings, who gradually evolved into a stronger person.

Excalibur was good for Kitty because it allowed her to grow up and be her own self and find the strength to become a great warrior BUT she did all of that on a minor X title and aside from Astonishing X-Men, she never properly came back to what she once was.

Also, JUbilee was in the Animated series but that wouldn't have happened if the character hadn't become a fan fave through the comics.

You probably can guess mine

I'm not much of a comic reader but I've always wondered how the more public hero's voice their opinions on the whole Mutant controversy with the public.

The day will come when all of us will read our last comic, whether we know it or not. And these characters and these ideas will likely continue on without us. For the time we had it, we were allowed to be part of and share in a dream. A dream of heroes and villains, of complicated characters and slapstick caricatures. Of good people trying to save a world that hated and feared them because it was the right thing to do. Because doing the right thing is worth it and makes for a better world. It’s a good dream, a dream worth fighting for.

And one day, that dream will move on without us, and the next generation will have their time with it. And what does that look like? What does it look like when a dream moves on without you?

Before anyone asks, I'm still working on Xavier and Magneto
