14. Starjammers

Starjammers

The Starjammers are a team of space pirates led by Cyclops and Havok’s father, Christopher Summers. When they were just children, the plane they were travelling in with their parents was attacked by an alien ship, and so their mother strapped the boys into their only parachute and pushed them out of the plane to safety while they were abducted.

While she would later die (murdered in front of his very eyes in fact), Christopher stayed in space and became a hero of sorts, leading a varied and eccentric team of aliens into battle. This could potentially be Fox’s answer to Guardians of the Galaxy, and if the James Gunn directed movie is a success, don’t be surprised if they decide to bring The Starjammers to the big screen sooner rather than later.
