Best X-Men Team Member

To me, my Debaters! Marvel's X-Men have had a plethora of merry mutants (and even a few non-mutants!) join their ranks over the past 50-plus years. Join host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Kevin Dillon and MIke Rapin as they summon the focused totality of their psychic powers to debate who is the Best X-Men Member Ever! Characters discussed: Professor Xavier, Cyclops, Jean Grey/Phoenix, Beast, Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat, Rogue, Gambit, Psylocke, Cable, Jubilee, M/Penance, Emma Frost, Cannonball, Domino, and more!
