X-Men characters with the same unusual hair color

[salarta]

Tonight, as I thought of Polaris and how often other green-haired characters have been mistaken for her, I started thinking: how many cases are out there of X-Men characters sharing the same unusual hair color?

My knowledge is very limited since I'm not a hardcore X-Men fan, so I figured it would make the most sense to ask here. This is what I know.


Green: Polaris, Agent Brand, Vertigo, Shade, Doc Samson, Viper, Trevor Fitzroy, Gideon

Pink: Pixie, Blink, Marrow, Quentin Quire, Cerise, Ruckus

Purple: Psylocke, Revanche, Catseye, Snoop Dogg (CBR user)

Silver/White: Storm, Spiral, Quicksilver, Magneto, Warbird, Maxime, Manon, Strong Guy, Hindsight, Cable, Maggott (when powered up)

White streak (not all white): Rogue, Eva Bell, Nate Grey, Domino, Sunspot

Blue: Surge, Mach-Two, Whitney (Mystique Black), Colubrina (Amazing Nightcrawler)

Multicolor: Ariel (pink/white/blonde), Riptide (lilac/white), Oracle (blue/white)


What others are out there that I missed?

EDIT: I'm going to add characters other people pointed out in replies, and use underline to show they were pointed out by others later.

Viper also has green hair.

Warbird's got white feathers. But thankfully she's gone back to space

Mach-Two from the Ultimate universe had blue hair, but she died

[Daska]

Trevor Fitzroy also has green hair.

[Tycon]

Maxime, Manon, Strong Guy, Hindsight, and Warbird have silver/white hair.

Whitney from Mystique’s Black one-shot and Colubrina from Amazing Nightcrawler have blue hair.

Seems like most characters have an unusual hair color.

Thanks for the replies so far! I'm editing my original post to add characters you're pointing out, using underline to show they were added based on replies.

Right now it seems like purple is the unusual hair color least used, and Marvel's most used green and silver/white, in relation to the X-Men franchise.

I kinda feel like I should give honorable mentions to Nightcrawler and Beast for blue because they technically apply even though they're not really what I meant in making this thread.

Cable has White and Revanche has purple. Cerise has pink.

RED Jean g, mystique, madelyne p, hope, rachel, siryn, phoenix bc, firestar, vindicator, loa, rahne, mercury, banshee, shatterstar. Not unusual color but rare and sometimes they are mistaken.

And not sure about this 3... Indra, hollow and transonic sometimes they hair are red then looks pink then burgundy or purple.

Surge's hair not blue, it's actually black for Japanese but some colorists tend to color the hair of Asians as blue.

Come to think of it, nobody has cyan or orange hair.


Banshee's hair should be reddish. Do most Irish have reddish hair?

Surge has her hair dyed blue. She states this in the comics way in the beginning that it came from a bottle

What i meant is natural hair color.

[Beetle]

Catseye has lilac hair, so does Riptide (although it's sometimes white)

Maggott has white hair when he's powered up.

Ruckus has pink hair.

Surge has her hair dyed blue. She states this in the comics way in the beginning that it came from a bottle

If dyed hair doesn't count then Quentin Quire shouldn't be under pink hair either.

But the point of this thread is that hair color is a defining characteristic that we readers use to distinguish between comic characters.

If you put Mach-2 and Surge on the same page, and they aren't in costume then under some artists it would be hard to tell the difference between them. In that case it doesn't really matter that Surge's hair color comes from a bottle.

Classic Oracle had light bluish hair. A later version was shown more as white.

Tangerine originally had a short afro that was, ah, tangerine color. A later version had long reddish hair.

Rogue, Eva Bell and then now Roberto?

Dyed hair doesn't count. If dyed hair counts, they would be changing hair color all the time.

Karma used to dye her hair pink. Nightcrawler used to use image inducer for brown hair. Polaris used to dye her hair brown.



What matters is natural hair color.
