The Character: Cable, the estranged son of Scott Summers, has a bizarre comic-book history. After his birth he was raised in the future, and he returned as a gruff, no-nonsense mercenary with a techno-organic arm. Telekinesis and telepathy are his main powers.
Could He Hold His Own Against Magneto? Those are two pretty powerful powers to have in combination, as long as Magneto's not wearing that pesky helmet. His stoic hardman character would make a pleasing contrast to Fassbender's Bondian brand of villainy.
'60s Version: They'd need to cut out the time travel for a start, perhaps reinventing him as a Summers ancestor. He could meet the X-Men as a soldier for hire after becoming disillusioned by the events of the Cold War.

Hm. Cable is closesly associated with Deadpool, so I'd expect him to be reserved for Ryan Reynolds outing. Sunfire, similarly, would more likely appear alongside Silver Samurai in Wolverine's Japanese outing. Two you've missed: The Midwitch Cuckoos worked closely with Emma Frost in Grant Morrison's run in the New X-Men comic. Since Angel Salvadore is in the First Class film, it seems sensible to introduce Beak (Barnell Bohusk) as he has a relationship with Angel in the comics.

Haven't seen First Class yet, so I'm not sure if he makes an outing but Juggernaut? :)

Some good picks, but since Vaughn has "Americanized" both Moira McTaggart and Sean Cassidy, I wouldn't hold my breath for the internatinal themed team you seem to be hoping for....

You include Quicksilver, but not Scarlet Witch?

I think Lieb Schrieber should return as Sabretooth, he was one of the better things about in Wolverine: Origins and the original not modified Deadpool.

Shouldn't the sequel be called X-Men : 2nd Class
