Well Xavier pretty much is more powerful than anything else on the whole bloody planet, so I'd have to say guys just on that point...

I'm torn. W've got powerful people on both sides. Now, I'm not sure who's the most powerful. :?

I must disagree with Sam; Phoenix could so kick Xavier's butt.

Well lets look at this logically shall we?

On one side we have:
Professor Xavier - most powerful mind on the planet (aside from Nate Grey the X-man, Jean/Rachel/Phoenix, random telepathic alien nasties) who can be drugged, surprised, snuck up on, posessed and/or implanted by various nasties.

Scott Summers - Stalwart, upstanding, brilliant strategist with an impressive mutant power and who is also easily distractable and has been known to have the personality of boiled tofu.

Alex Summers - see above, throw in a little brother complex and weirder love life.

Wolverine - ...
(he'll be fine once he gets over that terrible shyness.)

Then we have the girls:

Jean Grey/Phoenix - Top notch telepath/telekinetic, and on again off-again host of a fiery cosmic feather-duster, all the weaknesses of Charles but with the added extras being that she is able-bodied and You just can't freakin *kill* her she isn't all that different

.... oh and she has hair. :D

Storm: the walking weather front, good strategist, thief skills, and with her own personal wild streak - when she went up against Scotty boy for leadership he only won apparrently because Madelyne (yet another sheila) helped him win (i do have that right don't i? this is second hand info)
also her powers are more long range - once or twice she did make a storm big enough to take out half of the USA....

Polaris - crazy as a bedbug but with magnetic powers (yeah, yeah, yeah, Magneto does too but i'm only comparing one on one here... :P)

Combine that with Shadowcat, Jubilee, Rogue, Marrow, Mystique, Meltdown, Siryn, Feral, Thornn, Husk, M, Meggan, Wolfsbane, The White Queen and her sisters, Lila Cheney, Amara, Illyana, Karma, Moonstar, Pennance (gotcher adamantium skeleton solution right here!!) Cerise, Shard, Domino - and this is just the mutants!!

i think we can say that it goes to the grrrrrrls :lol :rolleyes :P :bamf

Um... I think we're all forgetting someone who has been the most kick-butt X-man in the world... KURT! :LOL Just from Kurt alone, will help out the guys big time! :LOL

Then again, there is Mystique, who's the naughty mommy of the fuzzball. :mystique So you girls got something there.

Of course, to counter with that, you got Gambit! Dut da da duh! :LOL Gambit's the kickiest butt X-man ever to come across the earth.

Not that I'm changing my allegiance to the female side, but the White Queen :emma sure does have an unbelieveable presence in whatever she's doing. As does Wanda. *not quite an X-man but...*

Who could forget her Wanda's father either? The big man! :magneto Sure is powerful! As is :mgrin Morph! A counterpart of Mystique in a way, *without the blueness and all*

If Claremonts writing it, it would definately be the women. He seems to have this strange habbit of making them all all-powerfull. Kittys power is meant to just be defensive, but in GLMK2 it showed that 'if left unchecked' could destroy the entire planet... Storm IS the female wolverine (i dont know why no one else has picked up on this) in that she can do EVERYTHING amazingly well..
Even Cecilia whose power was meant to be defensive, went crazy and almost destroyed the entire danger room and mansion.

I'd say that if the women and men of the team were to battle (with an even amount on each side), the women would get beaten, but when working together, the XMen are stronger with women than if they were only a group of men. Guys just can't live without us :nocturne

If personalities count and not just powers, I would say that the girls were better of. The female mutants seems generally more well ajusted to mutanthood than the men, they are not as traumatized and angsty.
Besides,when it comes to powers isn´t Phoenix the most powerfull mutant known ?
Kitty Pride has in my opinion the purest soul of all mutants, I think that counts too.

Well, Rogue could just knock over the X-Mansion in her free time, and she doesn't hold a candle to Polaris, who, in turn, is a plastic dinosaur compared to that Godzilla Jean Grey.

Elsewise, didn't Remy's power escalate out of control in one comic in his series? I heard that somewhere because of New Sun/Son or whatever. Stupid plot device...

Xavier gets his butt whooped by anyone with Magneto's pretty little helmet. :D But Iceman could definitely be a plus for the guys.

Domino and Longshot counteract each other, but she wins because she's smarter.

Emma counteracts and defeats Colossus with telepathy.

Penance counteracts and beats Wolverine.

Psylocke almost counteracts Cyclops but loses because he can continue to shoot from a further range.

Polaris beats Wolverine.

Jean Grey beats Xavier.

Nightcrawler beats Blink.

Rogue beats Gambit (yes, we all know he can't win against her :D).

Havok beats Jubilee.

Dazzler beats Nightcrawler (let's put flashes in his pretty light-sensitive eyes!).

Storm beats almost all, unfortunately (I hate Storm...)

Angel beats uh...uhhh...

Sounds like a trading card game to me.

In a powered fight...the girls...

And, not to be sexist or anything...

In a non-powered fight...the guys...

Logan, Kurt, Remy...these guys can kick serious booty without powers...Ororo and Kitty are probably the most fearsome of the girls...

You've got a point there. If it were just hand to hand combat... I think the guys have a better chance against the girls. The powered fight, yeah... I agree with you too. The guys would get stomped on. :LOL

The guys: Apocalypse, Gambit, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Xavier, Magneto, Iceman, Leech, Nimrod! :LOL

The girls: Jean Grey, Shadowcat, White Queen, Amanda, Storm, and Rogue...

I don't think any of them would ever be able to get along to fight against the other side... Apocalypse would be trying to take over all of them, while Jean Grey and Emma are going at it... And everyone else would just be too confused to fight anymore and go back home. :LOL in the end... both sides lose! :LOL

I'd have to say the girls would win. They seem able to work together better than the men. The men like to do their own style of fighting instead of coordinating their efforts.

Not to mention, that the men have this need to protect the women from harm. How many times has Wolverine come to the rescue of Jean, Colossus for Storm, and Kurt for Kitty?
