The Character: A native American mutant gifted with a superhuman brain. After joining the military he became a weapons designer for the government, and helped Xavier develop and improve technology at the X-Mansion.
Could He Hold His Own Against Magneto? He probably wouldn't be suited to going one-on-one with Erik Lehnsherr, but he could build some pretty powerful weapons in the overall fight against bad mutants. Particularly if he can produce some metal-free devices...
'60s Version: As Forge served in the Vietnam War, that conflict would be an ideal way to introduce the character within a real historical context. As he has been romantically involved with Mystique, that's another angle that could be exploited.

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
