I wonder if that book not coming together is why Mystique and M showed up for the final arc of Weapon X.

Bring back Cool Scott and get him back together with Emma so they can run the Hellfire club together.

I'd have had no problems with killing Cassandra, but this is probably a better punishment.

So when Kitty and Ben has a Hanukkah, does Magneto get invited?

My dream Marvel pitch basically revolves around old man Magneto trying to go back to his roots and ending up going to synagogue.

He's never really been portrayed as religious, or even culturally Jewish, has he? The most we get are allusions to the Holocaust, and I guess his going to the survivors' gathering in X-Men 200 implies that he still feels some connection with his heritage. But he's not putting up a menorah or celebrating Purim or anything.

Are there enough Jewish mutants to form an X-team? Magneto, Kitty... according to the wikia, Legion is. And Magneto's kids. Maybe. Depending on whatever version of their history is "real" today. That seems like it's it, not counting alternate-universe versions.

They’re not his kids anymore so they wouldn’t even be ethnically Jewish.

According to strictly Orthodox rules, whether or not you're Jewish is passed down matrilineally, and Magda was apparently a Romani, not a Jew. So unless Polaris (and also sometimes Pietro and Wanda) are actively practicing, they're not necessarily Jewish.

The real question is: is Joseph Jewish? Please cite the Talmud in your answer.

Jewishness only passes down through the mother, anyway. I have no idea who Lorna and Wanda/Pietro's mothers are to begin with. I just saw 'em listed under category:Jewish on the wikia I found when looking this all up. So odds are none of 'em are Jewish and never were, unless someone here with a memory can remember a panel of Polaris lighting the Menorah or something.

But I don’t think their real mother was Jewish.

Legion's mom was Israeli, so he definitely counts.

Edit: here's a pretty thorough listing
http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/comic_book_religion.html

There's a character from the 90's X-Force named Bedlam whose Jewish, and Bobby Drake is ethnically Jewish, but his family is practicing Catholics. It has Lorna list as Jewish Catholic also, but I don't know what the context is for that.

I don't recall if she ever actually joined the X-Men but Sabra is a mutant and has certainly worked alongside them often enough.

I think Wanda is probably more embracing of her Romani heritage than Pietro, though Red Skull literally says "A Mutant, a Jew and A G-word..." but that's some nazi's opinion, that didn't come up at all in her solo series.

Pietro is such an edgelord he doesn't believe in nothin, man. Lorna I think they're keeping his daughter.

That is a lineup of X-Men I would like to read. Most of them are good out of the box picks. Makes me think there's absolutely several other titles coming too.
