I think a lot of Clay Mann's Age of X designs should be adopted in the main universe. They were excellent.

There were definite successes among these, I’d say Dazzler, Jubilee, Frenzy, and Psylocke were inspired, but there was a LOT of skin, sex appeal, and looser fabrics in these looks. I’m not opposed to those elements, but I do thinking makes it hard to brand character merch and translate into a bigger presence.
Thanks. I hadn’t returned to X-books at all until AvX, and dropped again until recently.

Not my art but i liked these redesigns/style.
Yeah, not all of them. Certainly not Storm's. But I personally dig Husk, Magma, Karma, Hellion, Stand-Off/Unuscione, Magneto...
The Domino design is probably too radical to be used on Neena proper, but I'd love to see a riff on it for a new character or something.
I'm a fan of Surge and I'd dig her having her own costume.
And like you said, the Jubilee design is inspired. Far and away the best design I've seen for the character.
A lot of these alt reality designs strike me similarly to AoA’s Sunfire. THAT reinterpretation knocked everyone on their ass, and they even brought it to 616 for a hot minute.
I wouldn't mind if Betsy got a costume similar to her Age of X costume afters she's done being Captain Britain.

This was so glorious.
A picture would last longer darling...
Would love for Jean to use this Jim Lee unfinished/unused costume redesign.

Also would love for 616 Jubes to rock this exe-Men costume she had, maybe just throw on some Dr. Martens to give her that teeny Jubes feel.

That Jean costume is glorious.
I also love the Age of X designs (Dazzler's is my favorite look for her).
I wish Marvel would hire Mann to redesign the X-men. I don't think all of the AoX looks would work in the regular continuity because they're made for that specific setting. In the very lest I think they would have to put more clothes on lol.
