The X-Men franchise is destined for big things in 2022, and it all starts with Wolverine. Marvel Comics is launching X Lives of Wolverine and X Deaths of Wolverine, two interconnected miniseries that send Wolverine on an epic time travel adventure with the fate of mutantkind at stake. When the dust settles, the next phase of the franchise begins in Destiny of X...
In celebration of this event, we thought it would be the perfect time to look back at the storied past of the legendary mutants and ask YOU to help us decide who the best X-Men team member from the comics is.
Do you think Wolverine deserves the top spot? Or is your top pick Professor X, Cyclops, or Jean Grey? We've selected 107 of the best heroes from the X-Men to "Face-Off" against each other two at a time. Will you choose Gambit over Storm? Or Colossus over Juggernaut? The choice is yours...
(And don't forget, you can skip a Face-Off round if you don't know a character by just refreshing the page so new characters appear.)

Like the name suggests, a Face-Off pits two things against one another and you decide which one is the superior of the two. In this case, you are voting to determine who the best X-Men team member is from the comics. It's possible to see certain characters multiple times, so you can keep voting for your favorites to ensure they get ranked higher than the rest. IGN's resident team of X-Men experts pre-selected 107 mutants for you to choose from. These get randomly paired up and each time you pick a winner, it's tracked.
When voting ends on February 1, we tally up the total number of "wins" and "losses" each X-Men character has, and create a ranked list based on your choices that will go live on February 2. The X-Men character that won the most matchups will be crowned the "winner," and in the event of a tied number of "wins," the character with the least "losses" will take the top spot. If you continue to keep voting for your favorite mutant, they'll have a better chance of ranking high on the list. You can vote as many times as you want until the Face-Off closes.
It's difficult to know when you've seen every X-Men team member included because they are matched randomly and there are so many possible match-ups. Playing until you vote for all your favorites or ensuring that certain characters don't get in the winner's circle are different options you can take with a Face-Off. By deciding the winner throughout all these match-ups, you're ensuring that your picks for the best X-Men team members from the comics will have a fighting chance to reach the top of the list.
The list of X-Men characters has been decided by IGN staff, and we've tried to include the most recognizable official members of the X-Men from the comics that have helped save the world from every threat imaginable since Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created the team in 1963. We've tried not to include many variants or imposters, and want to see which true character is the most beloved.
