12 Most Dangerous X-Men

12. Forge

Forge is perhaps one of the lesser-known X-Men to make this list, which is strange considering his rather large role in the team's history. Perhaps it's because of his frankly ridiculous skillset, which seems to put people off adapting him into other media. The personification of a deus ex machina, Forge has the power to create and build almost any piece of technology he can dream up.

You can see, then, why he's largely been left behind from the movies and newer X-Men stories. As someone whose only limit is his imagination, Forge is perhaps what the kids these days refer to as 'OP' - over-powered to the point of no longer being interesting.

You can also see how this power can be incredibly dangerous. Forge is usually a loyal ally to the X-Men, having created such iconic pieces of mutant technology as the Danger Room, the Blackbird, and even Professor X's futuristic wheelchair. He was also romantically involved with Storm for a long time, and played a huge part in stopping the Adversary's attempted demon invasion of Earth.

However, he has been known to work against the X-Men's best interests. When commissioned by the government (who did not realise he a mutant), he created a gun that could permanently wipe any mutant of their abilities, if they got a blast from it. If you were willing to pay a high price, Forge was willing to work for you.
