I love the Rictor redesign. God dammit I WISH some xmen would get flamboyant again. This color blocking bullshit is for sad old heteros.
Well, if nothing else, you have to give points for pure creativity.
Ric has never been colored with dark skin as far as I can tell, and sincerely I prefer it that way. Not every Latin character has to be colored as dark skinned, there are plenty of light skinned latinos in the real world, and it helps to keep characters from devolving into stereotypes, especially with a character with a german surname (Richter) (and there is a large German community in Guadalajara where he is from, so it would make sense he is partly German).

Is the same reason why I like that we have characters like Ric and Roberto, because they break from the stereotypes that Americans tend to have about latin people. Latin is not an ethnic group, is a cultural grouping, and having a mulato character in Roberto and a character that is not depicted as a stereotypical Mexican is actually very positive (Ric has also been consistently shown with brown hair instead of black, and yes, there are many Latinos that do not have black hair).

I still go back to these speed-skater designs as the most inspired and provocative x-men costumes I’ve seen in a long time. They’re so understated that they suggest MORE action.

I would love to see Rogue like this! She looks gorgeous and very bad ass to me
