Back in the 1990s, in the era of Jim Lee and Todd Macfarlane, more was better. The problem was there were too many X-men on the main team now that the first generation of X-factor had come back to join up with Xavier. So Marvel had them split into two groups- Blue and Gold.

Members (Blue): Cyclops, Beast, Wolverine, Rogue, Psylocke, and Gambit. Later joined by Jubliee

Members (Gold): Storm, Iceman, Archangel, Jean Grey, Colossus, and Bishop. Later joined by Forge

If you were in danger and knew an X-men group was coming to the rescue, which one would give you the most hope for surviving relatively unscathed? Or if you were a new Xavier institute student who was promoted to the X-men, which team would you want to join?

Gold team probably. Jean is the most powerful between both teams plus they have multiple people who can fly. Colossus is the strongest as well. Everything blue team can do the gold can do better.

Gold has a God (Jean) two basically demi gods ( Storm and Iceman) a time travler who can conserve any force against him and release it (bishop) and a person whio went hand to hand with the hulk and a nikka who makes gundams

All blue really has is rogue and maybe a really well written beast who is using his Upper most intelligence

explain to me how they would LOSE

These were my favorite characters back then. Beast is smart, but he's nowhere near Tony Stark/Reed Richards type genius. Think of McCoy as a dude who could get to Harvard, Stark is the guy who wouldn't need college or could probably graduate from it at 11. When you facing Galactus you need more than just cool abilities and strength.

Gold Team. Storm is an underrated leader.

2nd off you guys are grossly underestimating Beasts intelligence, while he is not as smart as Reed Richards and Tony Stark, the gap is not that wide either. This is a guy who cured the Legacy Virus. A brilliant geneticist, a polyglot, not to mention dude maintains and upgrades Cerebro and the Danger Room on a regular basis.

−459.69°F, as far as we know, is where molecular activity ceases. Whatever is coming could be stopped by ice man and storm combo if the plan is right.
