I only recognize Storm and Rogue who are the other ladies ??

Finn said...

Maybe Betsy is the one on Rogues left side and Dazzñer obviously is the Disco outfit lady. But who is the other one ? Madeline ??

Madelyne, Dazzler, Storm, Rogue and Betsy <3

If I had to guess, I'd say Betsy is the one on Rogue's left side, and the one on top could be Polaris. Yes, I know she wasn't part of the Outback team, but for some reason it looks like Lorna rather than Madelyne, in my opinion.

If it ever gets colored, we'll know for sure. But even in black and white, it's a beautiful art!

The front row from the screen perspective left to right are Psylocke (original/Betsy), Rogue and Storm. The back row are Dazzler and Madelyne Pryor.

Polaris or Jean can't be because it is titled the 80s Outback X-Women. Madelyne was a guest of the Outback X-Men at their Reavers HQ.

FSaker said...

Makes sense. But the girl in the back row doesn't look like Madelyne, unless we consider her after transforming into the Goblyn Queen.

...Which isn't a bad thing, actually. She was great as the Goblyn Queen.

Rahsaan said...

She was more than a guest. She was part of the team. She sacrificed her life in Dallas. And during their time in the Outback, she operated their telecomm and managed their intel. She was an honorary member providing much needed support.

Jaime Braz said...

@FSaker Madelyne's transformation into the Goblyn Queen was disturbing. As disturbing was what Claremont did years after to Betsy.

I felt sad for Maddie and Jean. Claremont made Jean appear selfish and mean through the mouth of N'astirh and the illustration was graphic terror.

Why Maddie should not be sane and in good terms with Scott and Jean and raise Nathan? She was a clone and everything she was and loved was taken away from her in a cruel way.

Jaime Braz said...

@Rahsaan it was intentional to show that Claremont treated Maddie like a Mrs. Potato Head. There should be limits on how cruel you can be toward a character. She was a honorary member nevertheless Claremont was slowly entering his Tom King phase and his writing became dark and ridiculously deconstructive.

Happy New Year! 🎆

The girls night out! Babs is a STARR.

Storm I swear you are Grace Jones listening to Sex Pistols. Rogue high-schooler? Betsy in the dress and fringe cropped leather biker jacket looks like Cyndi Lauper in punk. Alison is herself duh! The rhinestones body-suit is from Britney Spears Toxic yeah. And Tina Turner?

Anybody asked if Babs thought of the first time Betsy went to the U.S. of A? Cause she wore a cowboy hat.

Dazzler is giving me major Dolly Parton and Loni Anderson vibes here. I like it.

Betsy of course looks amazing too.

Nice!

Tobias Chatti said...

But this has no color. Is there a variant with color?

randybear said...

No its just a fan commission

Tobias Chatti said...

OK it is still pretty. If the artist has time he will paint it one day.

randybear said...

No they won't they dont work for free. It anything a fan will color it.

The artist would color it if requested and paid.
