Team X was a disaster, and they were only able to do the Brotherhood and Hellfire Club because most of the team were 1-note mute brutes. I'd be surprised if any member of the Brotherhood besides Magneto had more than ten lines in the original X-Men. Same could be said about the Hellfire Club and Shaw.

The worst thing FOX could do to reboot the Fantastic Four is tie it in to the aging X-Men franchise.

Agent Venom is still a Spider-Man character.
