That right there. Not just the O5 either. They make pretty much every X-man look bad. Wolverine, Storm, Shadowcat, Colossus, the New Mutants...
And whenever we finally get someone calling the X-men out on it, they try to make it look like the kids are the ones in the wrong for doing it.
Cyclops: left his wife n kid for his girlfriend/was literally called Hitler for three years
Beast: broke the space/time continuum/was helping blow up universes
Marvel Girl: ate a sun and incinerated an entire planet
I doubt the “O5 looking bad” is why the NXM aren’t appearing. It may make them look old and thus not as “relatable”, but the X-Men has never been a household name that’s worried about certain mutants looking bad.
And now with Children of the Atom book coming out, we have teens who emulate Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Archangel, Nightcrawler and Gambit.
So this is awesome Fokken, thanks for sharing!
I really like how everyone's outfits are customized, and not all the same boring black and yellow 'classic New Mutants looks,' and yet all play off of that basic design! I especially like the lots of white on Bling! and Hellion's costumes. Also love Dust's half-transformed look.
Who are the three at the very bottom middle? Manon and Maxime, perhaps for the white-skinned pair, but I have no idea about the girl to the right of them with the pink and blue energy streamers around her face.
You can always include Hindsight and Morph (and Indra, and X-23, and Tag, and Elixir, and Nature Girl, and Evan Sabah Nur, and, and, and!) in a follow up piece.
I had missed the final result! It looks great. I especially like how you depicted the elemental powers (the wind, the dust and Santo's body).
Would be cool to see Wiccan hang with the New X-Men. But didnt they make him like super OP where he could probably take out the whole team?
The things I would do for at least a one-shot of the New X-Men kids...le sigh
