I’m trying to make my character look like Polaris any suggestion on the costume to use?
No suggestions, but reblog in case anyone else following me does.

Bold are what I consider priority reading, with the others secondary.
Lorna is a character that’s suffered immensely from decades worth of misuse and underestimation. It was only in the late 90s and early 00s that writers started to actually explore who Lorna is and try to understand her. Before that, most stories reduced her to a plot device the writer could change on a whim to suit the stories of other characters.
I’m hoping Gifted forces Marvel to start doing more and better by Lorna than has historically been the case.
Okay so I finally watched “The Gifted” and I’m so, so happy about Polaris! Emma Dumont is amazing as Lorna and as someone who has been pointing out the absolute need for Lorna to appear on the screen I feel extremely vindicated.
Polaris is one of my two favorite female Marvel characters (the first one being Rogue) and it’s not only cause she’s Pietro’s sister. (for example I don’t consider Wanda one of my favorites, I like her and everything but I don’t adore her like I do with Lorna)
Anyway, it’s a really good show, you should definitely watch it and spread the love!
Glad you got to watch Gifted and that you’re enjoying it too! She’s come a long way, and it’s great to see Fox doing for Lorna the sort of stuff that Marvel keeps refusing to do.
I have an extra layer of feeling vindicated in how I supported Fox having the X-Men film rights over Marvel. I doubt Lorna would’ve had anything close to this if Marvel had the full rights (as opposed to Gifted where Fox and Marvel had to work out a deal).

Been a minute since I have done one of these. Really enjoying taking the X-men characters and making them fashion models. This is Polaris. It was really hard for me to figure out a way to express her character and her mutant power. I am not really sure I know a lot about her except that she seams to be sole defined by her male relationships (Havoc, Magneto) which I hate. let me know if you disagree or agree. Each of her rings represents a relationship or and aspect of her personality.
