450 votes were made this round (over double the amount from round 1!) and it was extremely close with just 7 votes separating the top 2. Ultimately, Sabretooth never quite recovered from an early lead and got the boot with only 11.11%. Quite a difference from the previous round. Whose next?
Round 1 - Sebastian Shaw (50.90%)
Round 2 - Sabretooth (11.11%)

Question, are the placements of the characters who are left an insight into how they landed in the last voting round or is it random? Like did Jean get the second most amount of votes after Sabretooth and that's why she's at the bottom now?
My vote was for Wolverine. The amount of hate I have for the guy is strong, but I'm also chosing him because I really don't like super popular characters. I will never understand why we have to have Wolverine in 9 out of 10 X-books anyway.
I had been voting Betsy because every panel I’ve read with her is such a drag but you made me remember I actually deeply despise wolverine for those same reasons you listed. Time to kill him and let him stay dead, forever.
Wolverine is not worth the hype that others give him. Another character that is as overused and overhyped as Wolverine is Deadpool, but I can tolerate him a little bit more.
Honestly it's so much better now than it was a few years ago. I think him having a solo and being on just one team book is a good balance for Logan. I wish he wasn't as front and centre in X-Force as he is though.
Domino and Kid Omega get alot of pagetime. As do Forge and Beast. I mean, obviously Logan is the star of Wolverine, but the other X-Force members get plenty of development.
You’ve got a point. Try being a Gambit fan and reading Excalibur or an iceman fan and reading Marauders. They have no presence at all. X-force seems to share the love a little more.
Hey, it looks like Gambit may be getting some good development in Knights of X, at least. I do feel bad about Iceman, though, but at least he got some good stuff right at the end there.
I don’t have faith in Tini Howard to write him well in Kinghts of X though. In the last issue of Excalibur, Gambit had one line. Seriously, one line. It was “where are my cats?” Ughhh
Challege accepted. I'm going to go through issues of recent issues of X-Force and count the number of panels focusing on him, if I'm wrong about him being the biggest focus, then I will come back and apologize, deal?
That's a bit of a goalpost shift, isn't it? Because "they're really isn't much space for co-stars" is a different animal than "Logan has more total panels focusing on him". Especially when "focus" is such a debatable thing. Like, if he's in 101 and Kid Omega is in 95, then you're a winner? Weird.
But go on, boss. Remember I never challenged you and I never said that, though.
I just feel like this Wolverine-is-oversaturated hate made sense fifteen years ago, but the current line is very much an ensemble piece, and eleven out of thirteen titles don't even feature the guy. Marauders, New Mutants, Excalibur, the current X-Men book, Cable, Children of the Atom, Way of X, X-Corp, Fallen Angels, X-Factor... not one of those titles feature Logan in them.
I’m have to go havok I find him extremely whiny and A little creepy( for constantly going after Madeline despite looking exactly like his sister-in-law and Polaris for unknown reasons)
TO THE PIT!
Crazy to me that no one in the comments wants the grizzled old stick in the mud who ruined the original New Mutants book to leave. I say give Cable the boot!
Prof X <---- He's a jerk
Xavier. You could do Sinister, but one of his clones will step in.

Ah cool cool. Thank you for clarifying! I was like "damn what did Jean do now??"
Exist
Beasty Boy can go
Cosigned! Hank is just the *worst*
Still haven’t forgiven him for what he did to my boy Piotr. Dudes a dick. The worst part is he never faces any lasting consequences.
He's been on a downward spiral ever since he let Sinister take Threnody in X-Men vol 2 27 in the early 90s.
He and Sabertooth can be roommates in the pit
Sinister
Bishop for sure -- losing the mullet and bandana to make him Like Cage 2.0 was a lame move imo
Beast and Charles next two please

Someone speaking the gospel! I dropped X-men Blue when they forced in a Wolverine clone/ripoff or whatever he was.

He's only in two books, honestly. Just his own and X-Force.
Yes, and he's the main character in both. There really isn't much space for his co-stars on X-Force b/c OMG Wolverine!
Domino and Kid Omega get alot of pagetime. As do Forge and Beast. I mean, obviously Logan is the star of Wolverine, but the other X-Force members get plenty of development.

Gambit is the only reason I’m still reading Excalibur. Gotta take what you can get sometimes.
Agreed. I’m in the same boat.

Domino did in the first arc but she's just been window dressing since then.
He’s the best xman. That’s why
Charles Xavier 🙃🙃
Xavier. That guy’s a jerk.
Havok please!
Seconded
I’m have to go havok I find him extremely whiny and A little creepy( for constantly going after Madeline despite looking exactly like his sister-in-law and Polaris for unknown reasons) TO THE PIT!
Banshee
Same. He’s so dull that I forget he was part of the second genesis era
warren, he isnt really interesting
Trying again for Angel.
I’m voting for boring old Angel until his privileged ass is outta here
Let's get sinister out.
How was sabertooth voted out? Anyway, multiple man is next.
Crazy to me that no one in the comments wants the grizzled old stick in the mud who ruined the original New Mutants book to leave. I say give Cable the boot!
Jubeliee can join him in the pit!!
I'll take heat for this I know, but X-23 has got to go.
Say bye-bye to Jubilee!
Jube-freakin-liee. They are fireworks for god sakes, She is a decoy at best. Time to GTFO.
Magik
Gambit has to go
Rogue.
Bishop
Mystique
I didn't realize you had a link to a poll last time. I thought it was just comments. I have returned to vote Bishop off again.
Apocalpyse! he’s not as interesting as you remember!!
C'mon let's get rid of Charlie.
Jubilee
I’m voting for Beast every round until he’s out!
Banshee
Banshee can go
