Not being a particular fan of Marvel Comics, but ADORING the film, would wish to point out that villains are always more interesting, and, being a long-time Ian McKellan fan, I would go for Magneto in a New York minute.
Somebody explain this to the Better Half when he comes home for lunch, okay? I’ll be up in the the Statue of Liberty…(MY ending of the movie is better, and it’s got nothing to do with a candyass plastic chess set 
)…
Wolverine. Bad boy with a soft heart, talons and a Harley, who could ask for anything more? (Its close enough to what I’m looking for in real life…)
For my female pick, Storm. She can make lightning! I love lightning…
Funny, I just got done watching the movie mere moments ago. I’ve never read the comic book or seen the cartoon, so my picks are based on the movie only:
Straight: Wolverine, of course.
Gay: Jean Gray, of course.
I’m boring. I know.
