Students of the Future (Part 1)

After yesterday's Z-Lister and the recent announcement by 20th Century Fox of an X-Men television show being developed, I had the idea of doing another Top 5 List. Assuming this television show will tie into the X-Men movies, I've compiled a list of X-Men I want to appear in this new TV show. So here it is, The Panel Biter's Top 5 Most Wanted X-Men For TV!

#5: Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler was severely missed after X2 and seeing a new version of the character reappear as the glue of the X-Academy team would be awesome. His teleporting powers could work on a TV budget and his personality would add some light heartedness to the cast. In the "X-Men Evolution" cartoon, Professor X gave Nightcrawler a device to disguise him as a human, so by working that idea into the show the make-up effects and CGI for his tail wouldn't have to be constantly utilized. And honestly, Nightcrawler is my favorite X-Men. Selfish me!

#4: Colossus

An underused asset in the movies, this new Colossus could very well be the poster boy for this show. Big, strong, commanding, but also kind hearted, Colossus could act as the big brother to his fellow classmates. The villain known as Girder from CW's "The Flash" used a similar metal-coating power, so the effects are there for Colossus' powers. One this character's alternate origins involves being a spy for the Russian government, so that could be an interesting backstory. Plus, if they cast right, maybe he can actually have a Russian accent. Thanks X2!

#3: Jubilee

Jubilee's only appearance in the X-Men movies was a small cameo in a deleted scene, a stark contrast to her being a main character in the 90's "X-Men: The Animated Series". Jubilee would fit perfectly into this show because her personality invokes that of a maturing teenager. Her power is to shoot energy blasts she calls "plasmoids", it's a simple enough ability to use on TV. Also, should this show take place in the 90's-similar to "First Class" and "Days of Future's Past" being set in different periods-Jubilee would fit perfectly into that 90's attitude. I mean look at her!
