I need more X chromosomes without getting my hormones all in a tizzy. That means more X-Men related characters evolving and mutating into their own series! Cory is grabbing the reins of the main book and driving hard...but what else should we demand to see from the branch that started it all?
QUICKSILVER! UTOPIA! NEW MUTANTS! THE ADVENTURES OF STRONG GUY!

When I wrapped up my X-Force run, I left it open for someone else to take it in one of two directions -- either continuing with a team operating under Abigail Brand's XSE division or a team led by Wisdom and working for the Mutant Underground. Or hell, combine the two and do alternating arcs or something. Any one of those three would be awesome.

I don't think we need a Madrox solo title. But he clearly needs to be in EVERY title.

X-Force has gotta come back. That thing has great roots, and I know there's someone out there who's read it and loved it. I mean, it's Dino, I know people read the damn thing and liked it.
I'd like to see the Gambit title get back off the ground. I'm sorry Ryan didn't stick around I guess, but that was a helluva three issue run there which I was happy to say was going to work well with my UXM title, but cie la vie...
I find Pietro to be very compelling. He could be extremely well-portrayed in a solo title. I know a lot of people see him as only a good foil, but he's in the same vein as Namor in that he can work well in both team and solo settings. I imagine Pietro's personal voice would something fun to handle and mold. Plus, his rich Marvel history gives him an excuse to cross paths with every inch of the Marvel universe!
But, really, first things first: let's clean up Brent Anderson's titles and free up those dibs! I'd love for all us x-branchers to get together and figure out some kind of fun plan and make the best of it!
EDIT: I would just like to add that, much like my Spidey dibs, anybody can feel free to ask me if they can share any character I've got for any sort of title. There are only a few dibs I've really got complicated/convoluted/confusing plans for, so it should be all good for that Dazzler series I know you're thinking about (you know who you are)

I agree with everything Bryan's said, especially about X-Force, but honestly the branch could use more solo titles. Wolverine and Gambit are natural titles, and the Adventures of Strong Guy? A straight up awesome idea!

Someone should write a Doop title. Or at least a one-shot.

I like to see a all female X-team series, since Marvel did a X-Men title with one where Jubilee has a adopted son. Brian K. did a great job when he did the Mystique solo title a few years back, maybe we can get a M2K series as well.

Hell, you could do several legitimate female X-Teams. New Mutants: Moonstar, Wolfsbane, Magma, Magik, Skids X-Force: Domino, Meltdown, Feral, Siryn, Karma Uncanny: Phoenix, Storm, Polaris, Rogue, Dazzler New: Shadowcat, Psylocke, Husk, M, Jubilee
A solo about Mystique intrigues me. The woman isn't a hero, she's willing to do some very nasty things to protect what she cares about and fulfill her definition of the greater good. And at the same time, it doesn't really work out. Her vendetta against Ms. Marvel fulfilled the prophecy about losing Rogue, and assassinating Senator Kelly would have led to the Sentinels taking over. She's alternated between pragmatic self-protection and blind vengeance, neither of which really works out. She could decided to step back, become an agent for other forces like she was in Vaughn's series, ceding control to those that perhaps know better. Then again, that in itself is a choice, and Mystique's known to make poor choices.

Anyone wants to take over X-Force, I'd be happy to help!

Tried marvel's all girl X-men title, liked the idea and line up but it got sucked into a crossover and I gave up. Be cool to see somebody give it a try without the baggage and constant need for events.
Quicksilver solo adventures would be interesting, as he's connected to so many corners of the MU.
The new Scarlet Witch series is a cool idea, but the execution is lacking. A version with a bit more marvel history and a bit less 'Woe is poor Wanda' would make a good read.
My list:
X-club: a team of mutant geniuses doing super science!
Angel and Ice man: kind of a mutant Power man and Iron fist. Maybe have them take a road trip.
Freedom Force: thought this could have been Marvel's Suicide Squad. Shame they never did anything with them, except treat them as red shirts.

Angel & the Ice Man.
Sounds like an 80s crime drama. Both versions sounds awesome.

Quicksilver has never hit me as an X-title. Most Avenger mutants just don't go that way. Quicksilver has talked to the X-groups more then his sister, but its still minimal. He is like Namor.
Truth be told, David knows I was pitching ideas for a X-title before I took over Namor due to dibs. I would still love to do a X-title...if I wasn't messing around with my Avengers Immortal pitch.
At Daniel Ingram: You looking for a co-writer for X-Force? We can talk if that is the case.

I got some crazy stuff, but I don't think it fits the continuity of the site.

you know Marvel did the same thing with Dark X-Men during the Dark Reign storyline and focused more on the Dark Avengers as they went to Asgard. I wanted Marvel to continue Dark X-Men side of Siege with them getting revenge on Osborn for ditching them or give them a ongoing series as a revenge squad on heroes and villains alike. I like to see a Dark X-Men title here with Magneto leading a team of mutants like in the current Uncanny book, but to do the legacy of Xavier in his way.

There was a story not too long ago where Rogue accuses Scarlet Witch of trying to "pass" for human, and Scarlet Witch declaring how sick she is of the mutant martyr complex. The woman identifies as a witch and once married a machine, she is not seeking an easy life.
There was a Shadowcat series once, I forget the name, where she went to an actual college dealing with mutant/human issues there. Maybe M2K can do something with several new mutants at a more normalized setting where they're dealing with all the normal stuff while at the same time discovering their powers and eventually each other? Keep them out of the sanitized safe environment of Westchester for as long as possible.
