Okay, my turn for an "encore" to that other contest. The same rules apply, with a couple exceptions. These songs represent anyone that was either a hero or villain in an X-comic, and sometimes both, in ANY form of X-media! They MAY fit more than one, but I only have one in mind. Here goes my little mini contest. Again, could be the lyrics, just the title, or the sound of the song itself. One vote per day, and that's that. The prize? My copy of MST3K: The Movie!
Oh, and keep in mind, they are all songs that were either created by, or even just performed by the band Reel Big Fish. Why? Because they are my favorite band and they are AWESOME, that's why. The list also includes at least one character that was more famous on the cartoon than in the comics, and the rest of them are mostly "main" characters in one way or another. No obscure names here!
Final note: One or two mutants MAY be repeated.....
Here is the list:
So Obvious It's Silly Category - Means DON'T THINK TOO HARD
"I'm Cool" - Iceman
"Trendy" - Morph
"Big Star" aka "Big F-in' Star" - Longshot
"New Version of You" - Phoenix
"I'm Her Man" - Cyclops
Maybe Not So Obvious Category
"She Has A Girlfriend Now" - Karma
"She's Famous Now"
"Slow Down" - Quicksilver
"Will The Revolution Come?" - Bishop
Relationships Category - These ones represent the relationships between two X-characters, so are worth two points!
"I Want Your Girlfriend to Be My Girlfriend Too" - Wolverine and Cyclops
"Somebody Hates Me" - Professor X and Juggernaut
"The Bad Guy" - Rogue and Gambit
"Brand New Hero" - Wolverine and Jubilee
That's it, a much shorter list, so it should be easier. I expect this to be wrapped up in the first round, but people may surprise me.

That, and part of my brain is fried from hours of tirelessly researching lyrics and X-Men back story to see what Drew's friend had in mind. So yeah...I got a bit jaded and admittedly won't be working THAT hard to get yours right. I'm just gonna enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
