Legion is a bit like Blade and Star-Lord- a third tier character that got lucky via a movie/TV show.

HoundofShadow said: I thought, by now, everyone should be aware that the tier a character belongs to in a comic/movie/tv shows doesn't correlate to the tier in MPQ. Yet, people are still getting pissed off. Incredible!
DAZ0273 Rocket & Groot especially were barely D list characters - I loved Rocket from the 80's and his limited series where he fights evil clowns but if you had asked me whether he would ever appear as a major part in a Marvel movie I would have laughed.

The same kitty that has no movies or major series. The same kitty that probably is in 100th place is comic,/movies/shows appearances. That kitty.Ps: no prob if you enjoy her ok? But still, second tier

I guess that is just how things happen. On movies and on merchandise. Specially on movies directors. Ghost rider was a favourite of mine but nic cage ate him down.Fantastic four deserved a lot more and they fell on the wrong hands and in wrong company. Two times.They even try to make a villain a hero, in venom.Even my most favourite hero didnt had it easy across a lot of films and directors, Spiderman .Xmen had its good fair share of versions too.It seems if Disney its not there heroes will suffer.

But still, second tier 1. I am not a non-fan of Kitty and she certainly could have had a hand in the sales boost, but they also did the Days of Future Past story shortly after her debut, which probably also boosted readership a lot as fans started following the book to see what would happen next. She also debuted in the middle of the Phoenix saga. I mean this was probably one of, if not the, creative peaks of the X-men throughout their entire publishing history, as far as accessible stories with high stakes. Back when every big storyline didn't cross over into 30-40 different comic books.2. Kitty is much more visible to comic fans than Legion, IMO. She has been a near-constant team member for 40 years now. I agree that from a power perspective Legion is more of a 5, of course. Kitty is sightly arguable about first or second tier as far as being a favorite character, but she is a central X-men character, without question.

Yeah, a comic book created to look after Kitty & Nightcrawler after Chris Claremont (rightly) decided they didn't fit in with his new grim n gritty X-Men. Having it set in Britain thus getting Captain Britain involved was just a typical Claremont quirk.

Michael1957 said: I collected X Men from its inception, along with 9 other titles , and I was disappointed when they stopped it mid 60s for unpopularity, but the rebirth was great for awhile . I dropped X Men basically because of the introduction of Kitty who I just couldn’t stand . She ruined that book for me much like she ruins this game .

I was late to the party with Buffy starting on Season 4 (it used to get shown on BBC2 in the UK in the old "Star Trek Re-run" slot) and I have never seen the Buffy film. Definitely one for a "to do list".

Definitely one for a "to do list". Only for completionist reasons......it's not nearly as good as the show. I watched part of it recently and I don't really think it holds up so well. It's a bit heavy on the camp side of things. Although maybe that's more your taste?There's probably a video of Reubens' stuff from the movie which would take less time to watch.

Not particularly, although 60s Batman camp levels probably be OK. I am re-watching Buffy right now with my wife so I will probably wait until I am done to go looking for the film
