This is a question that comes up in my conversations around the time of every X-men movie release. And it usually stumps people. Most guys start out with an easy Wolverine and most girls would probably (if they even know the difference between the x-men) just say Storm (as in Halle Berry).
I took to the task of listing out various X-men (from the movies) so that I could finally figure out who I would want to be. It has always been a toss-up between Mystic and Magneto. In the end I choose Mystic. I mean, come on, the bitch can make herself be anyone she wants to be. And it is usually someone pretty hot. Awesome!
Keep in mind that it would be near impossible (and a bit stupid) of me to try to delve into the depths of the x-men comic book characters. If you are interested in that sort of thing, I suggest you read the full list in all of its glorious geekiness.
