Redesign the X-men: 2021 edition

[Factor]

Here's a thread where we can post our on X-men redesigns for the Krakoan era
Share your concepts of what you think your favorites should look like.

I'll start with a quick sketch I made for what I hoped would be Rogue's new X-men costume.
I was disappointed to see they just reused the 90s costume again and took no inspiration from Dauterman's incredible Gala design.
So I created something inspired by Dauterman, but mixing it with my favorite elements from the Chris Bachalo design and adding a recolor of the 90s bodysuit underneath.

Bumping this. Betsy is chef's kiss.

But all the redesigns that were posted since the start of this thread are actually awesome!

I know I’m super late, but this is an A+ redesign!

That's pretty cool

Thank you! I really wanted it to feel like a natural progression from her classic looks.

Love your Kwannon!

That looks nice Factor!

Personally I kinda want Rogue in a non-green costume again. Especially if Jean and Polaris are using so much in their uniforms.

Thanks! I picked green because I wanted to use her most iconic color, but I also love her X-treme era.

Here's another design I created today. This time it's Synch.
He was significantly harder to design because he has 3 costumes that I know of, 2 of them being Gen X costumes that the whole class wore and 1 is the most recent one, which is also a pretty generic "yellow X" design. So he doesn't really have a look of his own with recognizable elements like Rogue does.
Let me know what you guys think:

Really loving this! Makes Betsy a but more like her old day, reminding me of Revanche look and Kwannon looks like a ninja more than ever before and how it should be. I would be happy if they would both get these costumes.

Thank you. I really think their differences should be accentuated and praised. Kwannon is the Ninja assassin and Betsy the warrior princess. For Betsy I tried to put it elements of the Outback armor, the pink outfit and the Disassembled one.

A red or maroon variant of this costume would be <3 as a bit of a call back to her X-Treme uniform.

not my art, unfortunately the link I followed did not give the artists name, though they are recognizable concept art...

Saving a spot because I have a few of those.

That's from Lucas Werneck who's going to be contributing to X-Men 21. He did these redesigns:

And then eventually turned them into his own MCU fan art!

Thank you! I knew I recognized the art style from somewhere.

Anyway I attempted (badly, this my first attempt at color editing) to edit Werneck's concept desgin. I actually wanted red but somehow ended up with maroon... Which I guess is fine? Rogue and Gambit can switch costume colors for awhile and it looks kinda nice lol.



Speaking of which.

Yes.

If Rogue ever really used Simon's energy signature, the maroon and pink would actually go along with it, instead of contrast badly whenever she wears green.
