I wasn't quite sure which team to vote for, I just know that whichever team wins, I'm going to vote for their opponent in the next round.  |

The Freedom Fighters were a long shot! I hope the LSH takes this round!

LOSH for me. This was one will be tight i predict. Both teams have a plethora of members great and not so great. And both teams have had ups and downs with lots of great and lousy stories.

I chose to focus on their highest highs, not their lowest lows. Dark Phoenix > Great Darkness.

I'm torn! The X-Men were my favorite comic during the majority of my comic collecting heyday, but I have to say that what's happened post-1984 has left a bad taste in my mouth, plus I love me some Bronze Age Legion, so I voted for the LOSH.

The best of both teams were pretty close to the same time.
I voted Legion probably because it's been a lot longer since I read those "best" issues. I have re-read the vaunted New X-Men era more recently and they didn't hold up well for me.

Wow, this is the toughest match-up for me so far as I'm a huge fan of both teams (through the highs and lows).
At this particular moment though, I have to give the edge ever so slightly to the Legion.....

Legion. Without them and Cockrum, there is no Storm or Nightcrawler and Cockrum's art did more to put the X-men on the path to stardom. Besides, they've gone toe to toe with Darkseid, who makes Magneto wet his overshorts.
