I have time for one series. I'm almost done getting the backstory on Blade done and finishing a sub. I know Wolverine the character ( not nec his M2k history) better than I do Blade in some ways. Logan is one of my top 3 fav Marvel characters, frankly.
I'll let you decide which you'd rather I write a prop on.
Adendum: I've already done a bunch of work in the Blade arena. I'll just stay with the Knights vibe.

You know what I've never really wrote an X-Men story* which is weird because I'm a massive X-Men fan and came into fanfiction through an X-Men site.
Anyway I remember I once tried to carve out a little ultimates meets Morrison corner of a universe somewhere on some fanfic thing where I was going to write several one-shots and see what took.
Politi-x- Warren Worthington decides the best way that he can help mutant kind is to distance himself from the X-Men and run for office (not president probably...though with Trump currently!). Really solidify what Warren is all about and look at some stories crossing the west wing (no pun for Angel) and X-Men. I would also have other related things like how unions react to hiring a mutant who can do 20 peoples jobs in half the time etc.
Beast's (I had a cool name but forgot it)- it was kind of like The future foundation/X-Men science team before they existed. Beast and some other stalwarts of the team decide to make mutants science heroes. It's hard to hate mutant kind when one of them just cured cancer or one of them solved world hunger. Beast putting his mind to the job of fixing world problems....obviously villains would crop up too.
There was going to be like a teen-hero public PR team. Think One Direction with X-Men to help drive up their popularity etc
X-Terminators- Would've been a little side thing to practice some original character writing. You know what the thing is about Xavier's dream? It's easy to preach when you're the one with the superpowers. I was going to take some mutant hating Friend's of Humanity style group, fit them up with all of this stolen villain tech like Doc Ock arms etc and have them fight evil mutants. So like the guy whose wife was killed by Sabertooth and a guy who was badly burned by Pyro.
I can't remember what else there was but I sat down and thought of a few ideas about how to look at the X-Men from a different perspective.
*Slight lie I have wrote some AoA stuff, loads of Captain Britain issues and had a few issues of a kind of reboot 'first class' idea (which sadly has vanished from everywhere, I liked that little title)

I had this idea of Warren trying to smooth over mutant/human relations by using his corporation and being very public and having a policy of hiring mostly mutants to work for him. Bit like the Joe Casey Wildcats series.
Beast running a mutant based science group would be very cool. The X-Club mini was fun. Love to see Hank running a group like that.

That sounds *sort of* like Brad Horton's X-Corp series here at M2K. Very good stuff and I encourage everyone to read it.

I propped X-Club here once. X-Men x weird science is very fun.

Been a lot of talk about X-teams, but after reading Greg Pak's really solid Storm series from a couple years back, I wonder what characters people think also deserve a chance in the spotlight.
My list:
Beast: fun character and it would be fun to see him doing funky science, as well as having adventures.
Sabertooth: there have been moments when he's made an effort to be a good guy. I'm a fan of stories of bad men trying to do good, but in their own special way.
Cyclops: Hate the time travel young X-men but the idea of Scott going into space to re-connect with his dad was brilliant. Love to see that donevwith the adult version.
Scarlet Witch: been very mistreated by writers for the past decade. James Robinson is trying hard, but not quite making it.
