The X-Men Universe: What a fan of 30 years would do to shake it up

After 30+ years of reading X-books, of late, I have been feeling ho-hum here we go again. So, I've decided, for the heck of it, to propose here what I'd do to shake things up in the X-U!

First thing I'd do is consider this: the X-men's PR is in the toilet, kind of, and, as the ones supposedly trying to attain peaceful human-mutant relations, seems like they should be more proactive for PR.

So, we send the original X-Men back to their time before their absence scrambles the time line, again. Then, we launch the new X-titles, letting the current ones fade away. Also, we change up the base locations(sooo sick of NY) and start date stamping to help fans follow timeline continuity, for example, Dec 6 to start that particular day, is all that's needed.

Here's the books & their teams:

Shadowforce-{they get in, get the target, get out, all unseen & undetected}
->Based-Washington DC
->Shadowcat(leader), Psylocke, Nightcrawler, Gambit, Dust, Quicksilver, & Domino

X-traction Point-{they go get new mutants before anyone else can}
->Based-Miami, FL
->Rogue(leader), Sage, Ariel, Caliban, Multiple Man, Anole, & Hope

X-Calibur-{the public face of good mutants in Eurasia, Africa, Australia}
->Based-Rome, Italy
->Captain Britain(leader), Meggan, Magik, Colossus, Chamber, Wolfsbane, Syrin, Indra, & Wisdom

911: X-scape-{a world wide public rescue force responding to disasters}
->Based-Dallas, TX
->Storm(leader), Iceman, Magma, Rictor, Polaris, Sunspot, Frenzy, Elixir, & Pixie

X-Force-{mutant wetworks, sanctioning all who need removed, permanently}
->Based-Los Angeles, CA
->Wolverine(leaeder), Blink, Emma Frost, Havok, Warpath, Armor, Mercury, Hellion, & Primal

X-Men-{the face of good mutants in the Americas}
->Based-Chicago, IL
->Cyclops(leader), Marvel Girl, Vanisher, Cannonball, Transonic, Rockslide, Trance, Berzerker, M, Surge, & Angel

University X-{the teachings, trials, & trainings of new mutants, development of new tech for the teams, & back up if the others need it}
->Based-Westchester, NY(just gotta be there)
->Beast(director), STAFF-Magneto, Moonstar, Dazzler, Forge, Husk, Toad, Karma, Box, Danger, Northstar, Aurora, Prodigy, Boomer, Skids, & Dr. Reyes

These would develop new character interactions, provide new settings for the characters to explore, and be strategically located to best deal with what they are assigned to deal with, geographically. Also, it would put distance between the teams, allowing new bonds to form and, perhaps, old wounds to heal. Plus, it puts a telepath & a teleporter on all but one team each. Very crucial.

Now, of course, there those who would still need their own solo titles, like Cable & Deadpool but, if they insist on Wolverine & Gambit solo titles, they really need to do the date marking so readers aren't going "waitaminute! how's he in this book, this book, this book, this book, this book, and this book this month!?!?!?"

Well, that's about it. Just a bit of fun from an X-fan of 30+ years cause it's been bugging me for the last 10! LOL
