Favorite X-Factor characters?

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

Just out of the sake of my own curiosity, I’d be interested to know who your top two favorite X-Factor characters are? I’m saying “two” going on the assumption that if I said “Who’s your favorite” most people would say Madrox.

So who’re your top two?

Feel free to pass this query to other boards. I’d like to know peoples’ opinions.

  1. 1. Madrox
    2. Layla Miller
    3. Syren
    4. Strong Guy

    You didn’t really think I could narrow it down to two did you?

  3. Excluding Maddrox: Layla & Rictor. Including Maddrox: Layla, then Maddrox, then Rictor.

  4. Up to my previous post (adding number of 1st and second places):

    Madrox: 23 votes
    Layla: 20 votes
    Monet: 11 votes
    Rahne: 10 votes
    Syrin: 6 votes
    Guido: 6 votes
    Rictor: 3 votes
    Quicksilver: 1 vote

  8. Guido; he needs more lov’n.

    There are several characters who could use more development but are fun. Layla has grown on me; I like Richtor, but mostly because I think that its silly the way that a lot of interesting characters have disappeared because they’ve lost their powers. Would their old friends really stop speaking with them? Would they just go off to Iowa and sit around?

    Matrox is obviously interesting, but we’re not supposed to talk about him, right?

  9. Hmmm…. I love Layla and Madrox. But lately, I’ve been REALLY loving Syrin and Monet. So I’ll go with my new favorite tag-team.

    1. Syrin
    2. Monet

  11. Not counting Jamie, who to be honest I never cared for until you began writing him and making him an exceptional character, my favorite two characters are probably Layla and Monet.

    While both can be annoying, I like Layla’s nonchalant approach to everything and it is nice and a refreshing to see a strong and sophisticated (which can sometimes be replaced with snobby) person of color, such as Monet showcased in a positive light and in a prominent role.

  12. Favorite X-Factor characters?

    RAHNE!

    Then in the following order:
    Madrox
    Rictor
    Lalya Miller
    Strong Guy
    Monet
    Syrin

  15. Madrox and Quicksilver are both what I consider obvious choices, since you’re known for (maybe arguably with Quicksilver) having the definitive interpretation of both. For me, the way you write Rahne has been hugely underrated – you’ve fleshed her character out far past “religious stereotype”.

  17. On the current roster: Madrox and Wolfsbane. On the title from the begining: Quicksilver and Jean Grey

  18. 1- Layla. She’s absolutely hilarious, incredibly mysterious, and cute yet quite scary. Dakota Fanning has nothing on her!

    2- Monet. Again, I’m voting with my funny bone and saying this girl makes me laugh. She exudes confidence and pretentiousness, yet is more fun because she isn’t as serious as her contemporaries.

  23. Layla – One of the most interesting characters of this decade. Has a Doctor Who like smugness when she knows stuff, but reverts to a little girl when she’s caught off guard. I also love the continued ambiguity of her ultimate goals. Is she a hero that does evil things, or is she a vileness using the heroes to archive her ends?

    Quicksilver – Good. Bad. He’s they guy you can always count on to be a PRÍÇK!

  24. My favorite two characters in your first run on X-Factor were always Guido and Madrox, and that hasn’t really changed. My third-fav character at the moment would be Layla.

  30. Well, I’m not far in because I haven’t gotten the third trade yet, but

    1) Layla
    2) Madrox

  32. #1-Rahne(favorite x-character overall)I really hope she will be appearing in both X-Factor and X-force,hate to see her leave your title…

    #2 Madrox

  33. 1. Layla. Reminds me of myself at that age. Of course I can’t see into the future anymore… which, come to think of it, I probably should have seen coming.

    2. Madrox. Can’t get enough of him. Ha ha. I made a funny.

  34. 1. Rahne (such depth, even since your first run!)
    2. Guido (somewhat untapped potential here)
    3. Madrox
    4. Quicksilver (Still hoping for a return to the side of the angels)
    5. Siryn
    6. Richtor (Love what you’ve done since M-Day)
    7. Layla Miller / Monet (Layla’s a forced character & better be dámņ explained dámņ soon! Thanks alot BENDIS! 🙁 & Monet is just bland/boring, she needs much more development for her to feel like “part” of the “team”

  35. Yes!! RANDOM?! WHEN can you have him back from the other side of the X-Office!?!?!??! I’m desperate for him to turn out to be the Clay character in some way shape or form… or for you to just get his character back again. I’m sooo curious to know your original plan for that character.

  38. 1) Jamie Madrox
    2) Any Jamie Madrox Dupe That’s Paralysed With Existential Ennui And Refuses To Function Properly.

    What can I say, I can’t get enough of that bit.

  39. I really hope this poll isn’t so that PAD can tally up the votes and bump off the winner. That would just suck.

  40. Saying Madrox and a dupe would be cheating, right?

    Anyway, Madrox is my favorite largely because he’s the most developed (in this series, my X-history fu is weak) and because I’m always a sucker for powers that cause an identity crisis. It’s hard to pick a second. They’re all interesting, in their own way, and all of them have things happen to them that don’t happen in other books.

    I suppose Rictor has the best character arc, although because of the trauma of depowering, I don’t feel like I’ve gotten a really good idea of who he is. Layla just manages not to be too creepy to be enjoyable.

    I like everyone, but I think Monet gets the short end of the stick. I also read Astonishing X-Men, and so she has some overlap with Emma, and Emma just does it better.

    So I guess bottom line is Jamie and Rictor, but it’s a tough call.

  42. Layla and whomever the next non-mutant new member is.

    I say that for simple reasons, you make me like them Peter. So whomever joins the team after the shakeup will be interesting to me

    Madrox – my second favorite character is his priestly incarnation but the sides of him are very interesting

    Theresa – from adding her vocal modulation to her powers to her feelings about her father’s “disappearance”

    Rictor – real reactions to losing part of himself

    Rahne – losing the man she is in love with and falling into the arms of the man she loves for comfort – mutant or human – I’m sure that has never happen to anyone in real life (sarcasm)

    Strong Guy and Monet are my least favorite because they haven’t been fleshed out enough for me but I don’t hate either of them

    Until later
    John

  45. Well, Madrox obviously – and then by far Layla. She knows stuff, like Stephen Fry. I like that in a person.

  46. You made Madrox so interesting since the miniseries with the aspects of personality duplicates that the gap is very large. Forced to pick two I would go with Monet because a vain, callous, super powered bìŧçh is fun to read about.

  48. 1. Rahne
    2. Madrox
    3-but-dang-near-2. Layla

    Refuse the guy who said kill Rahne please, please. Unless by temporarily doing so, you can keep her out of the upcoming Claw Force title.

  50. Simon Cowell and Danni Minogue – well that was my first thought when I read the subject line.
