Fire up the Forge: The best creations by the X-Men's greatest inventor

For someone who is super at inventing and fixing things, Forge has not been able to reinvent himself enough to gain recognition as one of the X-Men’s most important members. Despite being around for four decades now, he has not even earned a mini-series, let alone his own solo ongoing title, despite coming up with some significant inventions.

While Forge was quite instrumental in the 1980s and 1990s X-Men storylines, he recently resurfaced in the X-Men ‘97 animated series in an adaptation of the classic Lifedeath story, in which Storm lost her powers.
