Rogue
Now we all know Rogue as well as Storm, and it might look as impressive as the section above this one, but let me make this clear. Rogue. Is. A. Badass. After Storm she is probably the strongest female mutant alive (mainline Marvel), I mean power absorption is a very very useful power set and a lot better than the weaker version of power mimicking because you not only grow stronger but you also weaken your opponent without having to do anything besides touching them.
It doesn’t hurt that Rogue also has the powers of the first Ms. Marvel to back her up and training with some of the best hand-to-hand fighters (such as Wolverine and Storm). As I said before it may not look impressive but think about it, in a fight between Rouge and someone like Wolverine (the Badass of Marvel) and Rogue no matter what amazing martial arts he might use all Rogue needs to do is touch his skin and it is game over.

I would like to see Magik and Emma Frost in the team but that won’t happen anytime soon. Polaris is a decent option.
X-Men has some great female characters. It is somewhat disappointing that Singer is directing the X-Men films as I don’t think he does female characters so well. I wish Whedon was directing X-Men instead. He wouldn’t have to struggle so much to get strong female team members, like he does with Avengers.
I agree with that, I feel like he makes okay female characters at best. Which really sucks for this next film since it is very heavily female based in story (at least from the comic book storyline), I mean Kitty is the one that has to save them all from the timeline disruption, there is even a very good chance of Rachel Grey making an appearance (since she is born in the future timeline of Days of Future Past)
The Storm Mohawk is classic – great to see it make a return!
I miss Marrow. And Penance/Hollow from Gen-X.
