#1 Wolverine
Real name: James Howlett or Logan
Powers: Regenerative healing factor, Adamantium skeleton and retractable claws.

Summary:
Now hold on for one minute. For the record, I am not a Wolverine fan boy, let’s be clear about that.

That being said, his character has undergone more extensive changes over the years than almost any other X-Man. Logan joined the team as a feisty loner, known for his lack of self-restraint. In time, he grew into a respected teammate and steadfast protector of the X-Men.

These days, Wolverine is a headmaster of the newest Xavier School. Joke all you want about Wolverine’s latent mutant ability (that being his ability to be on every team in the Marvel Universe), but there is no doubt that his loyalty to the X-Men and Xavier’s dream comes first and foremost. Whether he’s there to be a leader or just a combatant, when $#!% gets real, you could do a lot worse than to have the Wolverine at your side.

There you have it, the top 5 X-Men. Agree? Disagree? By all means please share your own list.

Your list looks like you just created the original team from the 1992 cartoon. Had you had a few more spots you would only need to add Gambit, Jean Gray, Jubilee and Professor X (oh… and don’t forget Morph). So even though there are several more mutants more powerful than some of the ones on your list, this group does seems to be the best 5 if you’re putting a team together. Would your top five have changed had you not been building a team?

5) Storm - More powerful than Cyclops, but far less strong as a leader, nonetheless she has proven herself and gets things done.

4) Colossus - Self sacrifice, determination, grit, and power. Colossus puts the mission before himself and has the power set to make his presence felt.

3) Magneto - While typically the opposite of an X-man, he has always fought for the same goals and embodies the same charisma and stop at nothing determination to protect mutantkind that makes Cyclops/Professor X such effective leaders. Now brings his unique perspective and incredible powerset to bear on their side.

2) Havok - Esentially the same justification as Cyclops, slightly more angst and less results, but close.

1) Cyclops - A professional soldier who manages to lead a bunch of whiny, disobedient super powered children. When wolverine wants to run off to canada, rogue and beast want to get rid of their powers, Jean Grey is having an emotional breakdown, etc. Cyclops manages to make it all work and get the job done, time and again.

I agree with Grim.
IGN posted a list of the top 25 X-Men. I think this list is better, but they got # 1 right.

Here's my list...
5. Kitty Pryde
4. Wolverine
3. Beast
2. Storm
1. Cyclops

I think the top 4 are pretty clear cut, but alot of X-Men could make a case for # 5, including Rouge, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Colossus and Iceman.

@ Grim

After reading your comment, I have a feeling you didn't read the authors reasons. He stated how much Wolverine has evolved as a character, which was why he was selected as #1. Really had nothing to do with popularity or anti hero qualities from the sounds of it.

R.I.F.

Seriously? Maggot doesn't make the list?!

pretty much agree with this list with one exception, Wolverine should really be at #5 and everyone else bumped up one. reason? because he has always been more of a loose cannon than team player during the time I last read x-men comics and suspect his gaining the top spot has more to do with the popularity of the anti-hero over heros
