Ask someone who the "Big Three" are in the Justice League and you immediately get Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. Ask someone who the "Big Three" are in the Avengers and you immediately get Iron Man, Captain America and Thor. Ask someone who the "Big Three" in the X-Men are and you get...a lot of debate. 
Which is why I found the selection of the three characters for Whiz Kids Heroclix Tab App endeavor interesting. The Avengers "Big Three" were represented in full, as expected, but the three X-Men were Wolverine(expected), Cyclops(expected) and Iceman(?).

To say I was pleased by the selection was an understatement, but I wonder if it is a reflection on Iceman's penetration into pop-culture that earned him that spot. To the general public Iceman is one of the more known and recognizable X-Men characters, if not one of the more known and recognizable Marvel characters, something Marvel never seems to know quite how to capitalize on.
Do the X-Men even HAVE a "Big Three"?
Should they?
Who are they?
Who should they be?
