User blog:ARTaylor/April 2018 Poll Results

Another month has come and gone meaning another poll has come to a close. Last month we asked who was your favorite member of the X-Men, from 1992's X-Men series. The result were varied but one came out on top.




 * 1) The winner with 35.7% of the votes is everyone's favorite Canadian mutant Wolverine as voiced by Cathal J. Dodd. Otherwise known as Logan, he is perhaps the most famous of the X-Men characters. Since his introduction fighting the incredible Hulk, Wolverine has skyrocketed to the top of Marvel's best characters. He was a major figure on the series appearing in nearly every single episode. He also had several episodes to himself without any other X-Men along, something very few other characters got. And during the team's crossover on Spider-Man, he was the one who was given the most screentime with the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
 * 2) Coming in second with 21.4% was Beast as voiced by George Buza. An original member of the X-Men, Beast has been a longtime fixture of the group and even a member of the Avengers. The network originally did not want Beast as a character, but he became a favorite among the show's producers. He was also given significant screentime on Spider-Man where his own backstory was expanded upon. Buza became so popular that he was given a cameo as a trucker in the first X-Men live-action film.
 * 3) In third place with 14.3% was Gambit as played by Chris Potter and later Tony Daniels. He was a major fixture in the comics at the time having recently debuted, though has since waned. Gambit became a fan favorite on the show due to his mysterious history and secretive nature.
 * 4) Tied for fourth with 7.1% were Cyclops as played by Norm Spencer, Jubilee as played by Alyson Court, Storm as played by Iona Morris and Alison Sealy-Smith, and Rogue as played by Lenore Zann. Cyclops was also an original X-Men and the longtime team leader. Jubilee was also a recent addition from the comics and written as the audience's surrogate to the show. Storm joined the team the same time as Wolverine and has been the team's most popular black character. Rogue has been popular since her debut due to her tragic powerset.
 * 5) Getting no love were Angel as played by Stephen Ouimette, Iceman as played by Denis Akiyama, Jean Grey as played by Catherine Disher, Magneto as played by David Hemblem, Morph as played by Ron Rubin, Polaris as played by Terri Hawkes, and Professor X as played by Cedric Smith.
