10 Underrated X-Men That Are Secretly Awesome – CBR News takes a look back at Marvel’s classic (and not-so-classic) X-Men characters who could use a little more recognition.

After 50 years of comics, movies and television series, it’s pretty safe to say that everyone has their favorite X-Man. Whether it’s Wolverine, Mystique, Magneto or someone else — hundreds of mutants have been affiliated the many teams charged with carrying out Professor Xavier’s mission of mutant and human peace. Many of these heroes have also earned adoration from the fans.

There are, however, some mutants that aren’t as widely respected or celebrated. Whether it’s because of their powers, costume, attitude or bad choices, a few members of the X-Men just can’t seem to catch a break. Do Marvel mutants like Jubilee or Dazzler really deserve their lesser reputation? And is there anything redeeming about short-lived X-Men like Maggott or Marrow? Could it be some of the most often overlooked characters are really just misunderstood?

Honoring the mutants that deserve the spotlight, CBR News put together our own list of 10 Underrated X-Men That Are Secretly Awesome. Disagree with our choices, or have your own favorites that you think deserve the limelight? Sound off in the CBR’s X-Books Forum with your picks!

Cyclops

It’s easy to rag on Cyclops. After all, he’s the leader of the team and his nearly uncontrollable optic blasts force him to live a life of restraint. He’s the guy that characters like Wolverine rebel against. For much of the X-Men’s history, Cyclops has led mutantkind in the fight against persecution, making personal sacrifices along the way. Through thick and thin Cyclops doesn’t give up on the fight for mutant survival — even if that means breaking bad and going against the only family he’s known. Cyclops’ undying conviction is just one reason why he is one of the most underrated X-Men of all time.

Today, based on a suggestion by NES Boy, we look at how John Broome had some differing he established in the first appearance of Hal Jordan in Showcase #22, namely the fact that Hal Jordan was originally the person who coined the term “Green Lantern” and how Hal seemingly just came up with the Green Lantern oath on the spot…

In Showcase #22 by Broome and Gil Kane, Hal Jordan meets an alien who gives him a power ring and a power battery. It’s interesting to see how originally the alien is pretty sparse in details, including not mentioning that he is a Green Lantern…
