My comments: 

BTW, what is this OBSESSION you all have with Jean-Claude Van Damme?
He doesn't really fit into the X-Men bit.

Do either of these guys *reall* have the right accent? Also, I always
thought it was spelled 'Colossus', but maybe I just don't read carefully.
> Cyclops: Michael Biehn (from Terminator)
>          Robert Patrick (T1000 in T2)
Not *quite* the right build

DORKFISH! DORKFISH!

Worse than Mr. Costner.

Check out the guy who plays Jack on Young and the Restless. Seriously!
He's even got the hair.

Point: Jubilee is Chinese-american. And Tia Carrere is Asian, but a *bit*
old. Try an unknown.

She doesn't look real red headed or southern to me....

Michael Keaton is a dorkfish. And Batman was a silly movie, IMO. Never saw
Returns.

Oh come ON! Not only has he got the look, but he has the voice.

Not quite stocky enough.

Not bad, but maybe a little too suave.

It's KEIFER!

Isn't a he a little... I dunno... goofy?
