Every X-Men Team - Ranked From Worst To Best

8. Excalibur

New Mutants Dawn of X
Marvel Comics/Mahmud Asrar

Excalibur is a cool idea - merging the worlds of the X-Men and Captain Britain and then having those characters travel the multiverse and fight bad guys. In practice however, it's just kind of alright.

The original team featured two of the all-time great X-Men: Nightcrawler and Kate Pryde, but the matching of these X-Men with the Braddocks has never been quite as exciting as it sounds.

Like with the Hellions, it is the most recent iteration that has proved the most interesting.

As a part of the Dawn of X relaunch, the team has finally properly embraced the swords and sorcery connotations of its name - being led by a sword and shield wielding Captain Britain (AKA Betsy Braddock AKA the former Psylocke) and featuring druids, Camelot, and Morgan le Fay. Where was all that back in the 90s?
