I was just pointing out that Pyro has been dead for some time now, I wouldn't say people would have "forgotten" about him, but generally you include active characters in a list of favourites, I guess. Except Jean, because it's...well it's Jean.

I'm considerably a "new" fan of the X-men. Ok, so the series started in the early 60's but not many ZUers were alive then I have many favorite classic mutants, but recently my favorite character is relatively a new one: Cassandra Nova (aka: Professor X' evil twin sister). To quote wikipedia, she's "a parasitic life form born bodiless on the astral plane...who possesses vast mutant telepathic powers...some psionic powers..., including the ability to exit the womb and create a body.". Not only a threat to the X-men, but to mutants all over. Her most amazing feat was wiping out 16 million mutants on the island of Genosha by copying the DNA of the last Trask so that all Sentinels will be in her command. For her final act she attempted to kill all mutants with the aid of Cerebra (sounds a little like X-men 2). Comic book-wise I've been following the X-men since Grant Morrison started writing in New X-men (and I've been collecting ever since...well at least his run on it. Currently, I'm trying to catch up on what I've missed), and Cassandra Nova is a new threat to the X-men that has appeared quite a few times.

I've never liked Cassandra Nova. Maybe because I never quite understood her existance for a long time, and even once I finally got it, it still seemed overly complicated. Still, I really enjoyed reading
X-Men: The End which she played a pretty big role in.
I only started reading
New X-Men when Craig Kyle and Chis Yost took over, and that's pretty much when I started getting into collecting and reading comics again in general (having done so when I was little). I've meant to go back and get Morrison's run, since it's apparently one of the best runs in X-Men history.
