Too bad this contest of sorts isn’t open to international audience. Would love to see Armor join the main roster. It feels like her “call up” to the main team was hampered by what happened after Joss Whedon left Marvel and the whole Astonishing X-Men book. It’s like she was relegated to the lower teams once more when she proved to be a capable and powerful member. She never did get the same spotlight ever since.
Or I could also go for Polaris whose currently busy over at X-Factor.
