As atrocious as Austen's run with the X-Men was, I think Iceman's uniform right before the Reload era (a trenchcoat and a suit that still appeared even when he "iced up") was the best he ever had. In fact, almost every X-Man in that run (Nightcrawler, Havok, Polaris, Northstar, even Husk) had great uniforms - the sole exception was Angel, who looked very tacky.
@Benjamin - Yes, that one. And yes, it matched Paige's outfit - the problem is, her uniform looked cool; his uniform didn't.
I also remember at that time he claimed Betsy appeared to him when he was in a near-death situation to tell him to move on, right before he started dating Husk. It's interesting that after Betsy returned to life, she never mentioned that (and considering that Xtreme showed Jamie "kidnapping" her soul months before Warren's experience, I'm not sure if what he saw was genuine...).
If it was really Bets, she would have said, “I too once flirted with idea of seducing a child, and decided against it, because it is 31 flavors of wrong, you sodding fool.”
Plus we know Psylocke was snatched by Jamie before she transitioned to the after life by Bishops vision with Psylocke. Warren was hallucinating and subconsciously just wanted to mount Paige to get over Betsy ;P
I wonder if Iceman is jealous that Psylocke got the daddy bear (aka Blob) lol
ReplyDeleteAlso just now noticing this is the closest we will get to Psylocke having a Quitely New XMen uniform lol
ReplyDeleteshe stole Madame Maque's mask
ReplyDeleteWhy is her hair so dark?! Unless she is meant to be Asian again.
ReplyDeleteI hope this Moneta personis interesting since we couldn’t have Monet to foil Jubilation.
ReplyDeleteYou have Northstar and Iceman on the team and Blob turns up as the gayest looking daddy bear of all.
ReplyDeleteMight be her best costume yet. Kind of like a modern day Assassin's Creed, Evie Frye would be so proud.
ReplyDeleteI think Psylocke, Northstar, and Blob look fantastic! These uniforms are very cool.

Also, cool lineup!

Agreed. This is probably Iceman's best costume so far. He's always been a difficult character to design a costume for.
ReplyDeleteThese should be the X uniforms going forward versus the gymnastics leotards that they wear in 616 reality.
ReplyDeleteWasn’t Ultimate Iceman’s uniform similar, but with a beret?
Rahsaan, I think Ultimate Iceman only had a blue bandana, IIRC.
ReplyDeleteIronically, as simple of a design that was, I loved it haha

ReplyDeleteAll designed by Phillip Tan IIRC

ReplyDeleteWas that Angel’s manga look? When he bizarrely got a soul sword from alternate reality magic? Weird stuff.
ReplyDeleteBut I kind of liked it because it matched Paige/Husk’s schoolgirl inspired outfit.

Warren just wanted an excuse to be a creeper and used the ghost of Elizabeth to qualify. 😂

DeleteAtrocious. Can’t wait to see this alternate universe down the drain.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how polarized everyone's reactions are to the creative decisions that end up seeing publication, lol

Yup and if any xcharacter is polarizing in many aspects its Psylocke! Thats part of why we love her
DeleteI think Jubilee looks amazing. I'd love to see her stick with this look or something close to it. She's LONG overdue for a makeover
