So I guess I will take the first step and offer my initial thoughts on just the pitch part without voting yet, I'll wait for people to make a few arguments first.

Mega Mana vs. MegamanX
I think Mega's sounds the most like what a real X-Men series would be like, though I'm not completely sold on the premise or roster. Time and space travel is very overdone, and there's no one character I would really enjoying reading about there. Otherworld X has somewhat of a clunky set-up but a way better cast, especially when you have Madrox on your side. My vote right now leans towards MegamanX.

Eddv vs. Scare
Eddv's use of the past is well-done and compelling. He uses the roster he chose to its fullest, and the only thing I can say is that is very X-Men, for better and worse. Scare's sounds like a very Deadpool focused book, and pitched like a comedic book, and well, I guess I'm just tired of Deadpool. It could work but I don't really see a proper through line in it I suppose. Vote leans towards Eddv.

Lopen vs. Shaduln
I was ready to write-off RetroaXtive as another boring X-Men time travel story, but no, I actually could really get behind. The cast really sold me, and I could see this as being a series-long take on the Booster Gold issue where he tries to save Barbara. For AmazonX, I'll just say you have Captain Britain on your team and it sounds like you're not using Captain Britain. Vote leans towards Lopen.

NBIceman vs. Snake
I thought we weren't supposed to have 11th members, which is what Apocalypse sounds like. Ignoring that though, I think it needs a stronger thematic sense, and I don't think the members gel very well, but I won't say it lacks all potential.

To elaborate on my pitch, basically the Shadow King was not eradicated fully and has been participating in eternal battle against the mind of Fantomex, who has been keeping him at bay. However, the recent death of Nightmare has caused the Nightmare World to become vacated, leading Shadow King to try and tap into the power of that world, since it borders the astral plane. This throws Fantomex off, and he loses against the Shadow King for the first time. Fantomex would basically use the psychic bond between Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur to help transfer his consciousness to a new physical form. The markings are caused by the Shadow King attempting to brand so called ugly mutants and turn public perception even further against them, in addition to using nightmare abilities to create new monstrosities and make it appear as though their mutations are out of control. In addition to body horror being a main focus, I also wanted to focus on Fantomex attempting to be a better hero in keeping his promise to Xavier but as the threats X-MORTIS faces get worse and more complicated, he struggles with the past side of him.
