Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT According to Marvel's outgoing X-Men editor, Juggernaut and Deadpool were supposed to co-lead their own team during the franchise's Krakoan Era – in what is immediately being called one of the biggest missed opportunities of the last several years. Though the two did team up, the story could've been very different, as it was originally supposed to feature the inclusion of at least one more fan-favorite character.
Related Juggernaut: The Marvel Hero's Powers & Biology, Explained Juggernaut has become a core member of the X-Men, after originating as a villain; either way, he is one of Marvel's stand-out powerhouse characters. More than just the iconic duo of Juggernaut and Deadpool, White's pitch also included another non-mutant X-character: Longshot. Originally introduced in the mid-80s, Longshot has been a cult-favorite character among X-Men readers for decades, but beyond his creator, author Anne Nocenti, many X-scribes have struggled to find suitable storylines for the character, leading to a diminished role throughout the past several decades, and virtually no presence in the Krakoan Era.
As Jordan D. White described, he approached legendary writer and Deadpool co-creator Fabian Nicieza about writing the "Friends of X" story, and it was Nicieza that cut Longshot out of the equation. According to White: Certainly, far from getting angry with any writer, X-Men fans should understand that some creators are more comfortable working with some characters than others. Rather than disinterest in Longshot, it is much more likely that Fabian Nicieza quickly saw the potential in a Juggernaut/Deadpool team-up, and opted to focus on that.

Instead, it tends to mean that the definitive incarnation of the character has yet to be penned.
