For a true X-statix refurbish there'd need to be more recent X-Statix material; which sadly hasn't come out recently. It's a shame, the team was hell of a lot of fun to play.
It's possible that instead of an X-statix refurbish, give another team a real "only man standing" theme? Hellboy got it somewhat, but didn't have the cards to support a TRUE single-man setup (Dead Weight, Spin Doctor, and X-Statix Cafe were all amazing, and even then it took the power of Science Spire and Fatality to make playing the team a reality).
As much as I'd love to see some hot X-Statix action returning to VS, I agree that we'll need more material before it happens. Quite a few of the character cards we already have are bit players...Corkscrew? Dude was in like 3 pages before Doop killed him...IN A SIDE STORY ARC!!! Bloke, El Guapo, Mysterious Fan Boy, Saint Anna, La Nuit, etc...Not major players.
Lacuna could be made into a bona fide Statix character...And maybe a few more versions of Doop and Henrietta?
I do like the possibilities that Stu mentioned. Could be really cool! A dual-affiliated Doc Strange...Ant-Man, etc could also be considered.
Either way, I want to see more X-Statix comics, and I insist that Allred does the art. Except no less!!!
In Billy Zonos's recent article on Vssystem.com about the Marvel Knights, you'll find at the bottom of the atricle a list of trades to help flesh out what they will be doing and referencing on this expansion.
There was X-Statix Presents: Dead Girl TPB. So I guess that it's safe to assume a copy of Dead Girl - Moonbeam.
I also think that Wolverine might have a copy of Doop as one of those "Assisting Allies"... Or perhaps a copy of Wolverine with the X-Statix team?
Spike Freeman, Solomon O'Sullivan and Lacuna are the only real X-Statix characters left to be done that I can think of.
Say it with me everybody: Orphan as a Legendary Character!

Okay, back from lunch and going over the series again...
1. Mysterio. Please.
2. Anarchist, Whiny Little Flashback 1-drop
3. Anarchist, Scoring with Miss America.
4. Miss America, Jungle Fever
5. Phantom Rider (I am leaning toward this being the entire reference in itself.)
6. Fermented Sweat of Morpheus. Equipment. Activate -> Equipped character experiences one Little Death. (In other words, an orgasm that brings them back to life.)
(Damn, that is a ####ing awesome series of comic books.)
