Thanos Vs. X-men ladies.
ECCC 2018 commission.

This was pointed out to me by @lordtimeblogposts, and it’s neat!

As I’ve said many times, I think Lorna is better off with her iconic costume or a variation of it, but this looks good too – and it’s a commission and those are whatever the commissioner wants. It’s interesting to see a cross between the X-Factor uniform (which I don’t like, same as any team uniforms on her) and the most important identifying features of headgear and cape.

when i was a kid i remember they had those Valentines cards other kids would give to other kids ,  I never got the x-men ones or any of them 😦 so i thought id update them with new characters. Had to much fun with this

Reblogging mainly for including Dreamer, since this period of time is probably the last we’ll ever see of her in things. Season 2 will pretty much act like she never existed.

I’ve been out of sorts for around a month (maybe a bit more), but it’s time for me to do something I used to do on a different site and will now do here instead: highlight tweets from people concerning Lorna.

Both tweets here bring me to a pretty important point to me: Polaris has a history that Marvel has been disregarding for decades.

She was introduced in 1968, and she got a raw deal because that was the tail end of the first run. She would’ve benefited from getting introduced earlier, and getting to keep Magneto as her father instead of having a forced retcon that kept her away from it for several decades.

She was the second female X-Men member, in other words. But she wasn’t included in the all-female X-Men run, and whenever Marvel brings up female X-Men characters, she’s ignored or ranked incredibly low on the totem pole in their eyes.

Pretty important to bear this in mind with this year being Lorna’s 50th anniversary, and Marvel doing nothing with her for it.
