Polaris is the very example of poor character design and redundancy. Her costume is a rip-off of Scarlet Witch and just died green, her powers a much weaker copy of Magneto’s, and even took Quicksilver’s storyline of if he should following in Magneto’s crusade as his heir or not. None of the stories she’s supposed to have a key part are interesting (like The Twelve, and the Starjammer/Inhuman stories) or she’s not that important to the proceedings and could be replaced by a lamp and have no impact on the story (Bunn’s X-Men, House of M) or are actual shit (all the Austin shit). She was shoehorned into the House of M because of Chuck Austin’s Nurse Annie story, and it shows. All this despite the fact that her origin story and proof from various AUs she’s just a crazy Magneto fan girl and not actually his seed.
Marvel needs to retcon Polaris out of the House of M and bring back the Maximoff twins. Then put Polaris in straight jacket limbo where she belongs, hopefully keeping Havok with her.
Poor Meggan, she’s so Z-list that it would take of GOTG style appearance to make her mainstream.

Better be careful or Loony Lorna’s Legion will show up from CBR and scream about you oppressing their queen like Claremont and every good writer Marvel has for her entire existence.

Pietro has been hurt by not being Magneto's son, but Wanda is much better off not being a mutant and being free from ever having to appear in an X-book again. Nobody wanted to use her in a significant role in any X-Men stories for almost 40 years until House of M, which would probably have destroyed her forever if not for the MCU using her, so it's better for Polaris to be Magneto's daughter, and if someone wants to do a story about Magneto having a daughter that sided against him, Lorna's there for it.
Havok works as a counterpoint to Cyclops, his brother who wanted to lead a normal life instead of dedicating himself to being an X-Man, but because he's Scott's brother, people expect him to be like Scott and to be a leader. He has this weight of expectation on him from everyone wanting him to be something he isn't. Plus he seemed to become a villain a lot for sibling rivalry stories. They're not bad characters, they're just underused.
The Maximoffs aren't even Magneto's anymore/again are they?

Since the Disney Fox merger, they’ve begun to waffle. There’s the Magnus family action figure set that just came out with the twins and Magneto, and in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Wanda is Magneto’s daughter.
Marvel don't fully control what merchandise and games do and probably don't care. Quicksilver was still Magneto's son in the Fox movies, and there have been licensed products that still use Erik Lensherr as Magneto's real name, or still say Wanda's twins weren't real.
