I've seen this floating around the internet before. I think its a neat way to incorporate the "X" into their suits but some work better than others.

The hooded coats and Cyclops and Jean Grey's suit looks cool and mysterious but I can't see it as practical "battlefield gear".

As for Wolverine, I love the slick design of the mask were I can actually tell how those side parts actually stick to the rest of the head, but the "X" on his chest is lost when you bring in all the triangle shapes from his classic uniform and make the rest of it black.

I'm surprised a classic character like Storm isn't in the mix here.

Wolverine looks more like a tiger than anything else. Actually he looks like the villain Tiger Shark.

It's like an homage to his original costume and the more modern version.

The Wolverine suits design is based on claw marks. I dont know how many people are aware of that. Tigersharks suit is based on the pattern seen on sharks

Mike D. said...

Btw...one claw?

He's giving us the finger.

Neato! I love a variant costume, and Ross is the Master

I have an issue of Wizard that just shows off the character redesigns he did of the Marvel heroes for his Earth X series - some pretty cool stuff there.
