5 Best & Worst Things About X-Men Comics

10. Worst - Adam X The X-Treme Exists

Now the X-Men are no strangers to terrible characters (looking at you Maggot) so is Adam X really worth a whole entry to himself?

Yes. Absolutely yes.

The problem with Adam X is not just that he's a bad character, it's that he represents one of the lowest points in comics. He is the ultimate 90's character, a horrible mess of outdated attempts to be cool and ludicrous over-the-top grittiness.

It's hard to pinpoint a single worst point about him. Is it that he's so edgy he's literally covered in razor blades? Is it the backwards baseball cap? The white guy dreads? The soul-patch? Or maybe it's the sheer excess of being a sword-wielding super-strong badass who can set people's blood on fire and also has acid blood like he's a freaking xenomorph?

Actually no, it's definitely the backwards baseball cap.

The only way Adam X could have been more 90's was if he was also a break-dancing skateboarder named Bloodslyce. He's not just the kind of character you doodle in a notebook when you're 13, he's an actual fully grown adult's attempt to copy it.

It could have been worse though. The original plan for the half-Shi'ar hybrid was for him to be the long lost brother of Cyclops and Havok. Speaking of which...
