I couldn't agree more with
katschei. I was afraid of speaking up before, because there's just so many people who deserve to be mentioned.
I'll mention Cable, and whoever plays him. Preplotting. How much preplotting are you doing?! It is unbelievable how many layers there are to the story. It reads like a whole novel of its own, and I am deeply awed and amazed. You took a character from the comics who was a walking fanboy dream and whose background was convoluted only so the X-Men could save the world past, present and future, and made him human.
So, there. I picked one.

And it doesn't hurt that she's willing to let the rest of us play with her plots. The interactive component makes things all the more layered.
