Which X Character Has the Best, Most Recognizable Costume?

[JudicatorPrime]

I've been tasked with drawing Madelyne Pryor in the costume of another X-men character. The costume can be past or present, but the more recognizable the better. For obvious reasons I don't want to use any of Jean's costumes, but everyone else is fair game. Suggestions???

[CRaymond]

Nightcrawler

[Castle]

Likely Rogue's green and yellow costume with the brown jacket, although I never really liked it and have never seen a good cosplay for it.

Storm. I actually still have to force myself not to draw her original costume. It is so engrained in my mind i don't even need to look Storm up to draw her costune. Second would be nightcrawler.

[Dipter]

Magneto's classic red and purple ensemble. The helmet is especially recognizable.

I don't think it's a coincidence that so many X-Men are constantly going back to variations of Cockrum's classic 'Giant-size X-Men' costumes. Cyclops, Nightcrawler, even Storm, Banshee, Colossus and Thunderbird have never looked better, IMO (and Banshee and Thunderbird have never really moved on!).

And then there's Phoenix, whose costume was an instant classic, and far better than her Marvel Girl dress, IMO.

Wolverine is the one exception. I was never a fan of the blue and yellow and the cat-mask.

What about Lorna's original green costume with teal or gold accents?

Wolverine clearly has the most recognizable costume. As for the best that’s really a matter of personal opinion. I think Storms current costume is one of the best designs I’ve seen in years.

Personal favorite will always be...

Maverick

Emma’s costumes are re. -men- bered.

[Captain Nash]

I'd say Wolverine, or Cyclops, but it would be odd to see her in either, and actually almost disturbing.

That means you should totally do it.

Truth though, probably Storm's costume she wore from GSXM up to her punk look.

If the question is specifically what iconic X-Men costume would Maddie look good in:

1. Storm's original costume
2. Emma's Morrison look (though maybe in black)
3. Magik's Bachalo costume
4. Psylocke's tankini
5. Rachel's Excalibur costume

[From The Shadows]

Best? Most recognizable? - I'll go with those to mean most iconic as well. The 05 under Neal Adams, the ANAD team and the Blue and Gold era 90's X-Men.

Great list! I'd also toss in the Dave Cockrum redesign for Marvel-Girl





And since Betsy's not using it, I'd include the outback-armored version of Psylocke
