Better Than Human: The Northstar Appreciation Thread

The place to discuss the complexities of the X-Men's snarky, gay, issue-ridden speedster in the far-flung year of 2021.

Current Appearances:

Northstar is currently residing on Krakoa with his husband, Kyle, and his sister, Aurora. He's operating as head of X-Factor, the team assigned to the investigation of mutant deaths. The second arc kicks off with issue #6 in the first week of January.

Happy New Year!

Looks we're getting long hair on Northstar for the first time in a while. X-Factor #1 vs X-Factor #6:



Just a little unusual that we're seeing it as a gradual process instead of a handwave at the start of the series.

Still one of my favorite images! I'd love to see red make a return to JP's costume.

That's gorgeous!

Too bad it'll probably be some ridiculous 1/500 variant that I'll never have a chance of getting my hands on...

This is "Northstar" to me!

Nope those are the "theme of the month" variants and are most of the time at the same price than the regular cover

I just read a bunch of the current X-Factor, haven't completely caught up yet, though. It seems like with other series that I have been catching up with, the quality has dwindled, like this one, but I say its the best of what I've read of the titles I can. I also like Northstars role as leader in this book. I think its a long time coming. I got past the art (its grown on me) and I'm glad, because now know NS is getting some shine.

Northstar's getting his own mini in the Marvel United Kickstarter:
