It is, BLESS master PEPE [+Marte & Duggs], we Polaris fans *owe him* SO MUCH!!!! Gonna tweet him a special thank you just like I did for RD real soon, highlighting his partiality towards her chronologically, from HoX 5 to XoS:C to XMs 1 & 12. He wasn't shy about wanting her to win the vote, nor was Ger-Pooh-Bear, when it came to writing her just... for him.

Also something by dommnics that was started but not completed back in March. Goes to show that if Marvel allowed it, it would be entirely possible to redesign Lorna's costume while still retaining key features to be able to visually identify her.

x-men Legend 1 in Last Page is Polaris Cameo with Havok
Roy Thomas is doing a fill in the blanks story about Logan joining the X-Men. Lorna looks to be brainwashed to fight Logan. I wouldn't mind a fight between Lorna and Logan again like in Uncanny X-Men 443 over something of substance, but mind control is the way of pretending to have a conflict with no interesting repercussions for the characters involved.
Her Duggan X-Men costume was fine for generic super heroics in the big city. But, I hope she is moving on from that to something more befitting her new Gala costume which could certainly work for a new outfit with some alterations. Lorna badly needs a darker and more mutant activist arc though we all may be in the nursing home by that point.
This outfit she wore once in the early 1970s in the era this issue is supposed to be taking place.

Know some of you don't like being reminded of this part of her history, but... oh well:

✨Quick Lorna Dane/Polaris cause can we get some X-Factor in #xmen97 ?✨
Same here. Though it was actually an evergreen color when I first saw it. Don't know if that was intentional or accidental, but it started at the end of X-Men 104, continued into X-Men 105, and then in brief guest appearances in Defenders (Defenders For a Day) arc. I was mildly shocked when I purchases X-Men 97 from a mail-order company to see it colored purple.
On the statue and action figure issue the real problem has been a lack of effort and risk taking on the part of merchandisers. She isn't considered an A lister so they don't put in the effort they do with Jean/Phoenix or Magneto and most merchandisers shy away from the edge of most of her outfits. Its been custom makers of statues and action figures that have been taking risks and kicking ass with her.
Anyway new Marvel Snap cards for Lorna.

I'm okay with it. At a glance, looks like the Genoshan genocide happened in that comic's universe too, so hoping the writer acknowledges that as part of Lorna's past if it comes up in any more meaningful way. Lorna's dress there is still better than what was in the first 616 Hellfire Gala, though I like the second 616 Hellfire Gala's look more.
The choice to use the red and gold costume for that pretend tabloid is interesting to me. There's a bit of history where people in the 90s complained about Lorna wearing that costume for being "too risque," and it led to Lorna's costume getting changed. If Marvel's willing to acknowledge it today, maybe it's a good sign for other things about Lorna getting acknowledged some time down the road that Marvel's been constantly avoiding.

It's interesting that the artist chose to show Lorna's EM powers in a more flame-like form, and... so similar to Sunfire's? Also, much like his fellow, fairly reserved brethren Cyclops, I find it fitting that Shiro's wearing a standard tuX. He is rockin' the ponytail, though, revealing that slight rebellious streak he possesses. Speaking of defiance, Polaris' mock gossip rag eXcerpt reads to me as:
"I'm NOT... Magneto with boobs!!"
In addition, here's a somewhat more METALLIC...
