Wait icon -- who is the X?

AKA the second-most important question I'll ever ask the devs. When the game is loading and the character logos start to cycle, one logo (right after Juggs's, I believe) is an X-Man logo but which doesn't seem to apply to a specific character. Is it just a generic X-Man insignia, or does it apply to someone that I'm not thinking of?

    Here it is, btw:

    It's not used as a character icon. I don't recognise the blue pattern around the X either...

    This is something I've kept meaning to ask for a while. It's that white/blue style one. It looks kinda muscular.

    Never been able to figure it myself, unless it's just a generic X Men symbol to say "Look! We have X-men in this game!"

    It's the logo for the X-men from back when we had faction-specific damage boosts.

    What? I always assumed that was Storm's bust....

    It's not that. The boost back then was for Mutants rather than simply X-Men

    [EDIT] Sorry, didn't realise the image was still so large. Hidden it under a spoiler tag so it doesn't take up too much space.

    I miss Ice IX when I read questions like this - you could count on him to chime in eventually to answer MPQ trivia.

    Have faith, it is only Sunday night. I bet as soon as Cthulu see this (s)he will be all over this.

    That's the one. The lacing makes me think of some kind of corset (Emma Frost?), but otherwise the color scheme isn't familiar.

    I'm dying to hear what this is!

    Also, I have a hankerin' for Life Savers now.

    Such a better boost than critical damage...

    There was a boost specifically for X-men too - I still have a few expired ones.
    That logo has a gold X on a red background, so it's the image in the middle of the loading screen. The White and blue parts' origin is still unknown.

    I always assumed it was Storm. Matches classic Storm's outfit.

    We never got a response the last time this was brought up. viewtopic.php?style=1&f=7&t=20048

    I thought it would've been easier to guess since more X-Men have been added to the game.
