Northstar Appreciation 2023

Good to see Jean-Paul's elegant X-FACTOR costume seems to endure into the new volume of ALPHA FLIGHT in FALL OF X...

I like this look too.

I love the design, but I wish the jacket was a bit shorter... Maybe a bomber ?

The 3/4 length gives good motion in lieu of a cape. A duster would have been too much.

A bump in the Northstar thread activity? EXCELLENT.

Remember the time he gave the very appropriate textual brush off to Xavier, when Chuckles was made privy of Trevor's blossoming occular powers?
The most succinct/powerful expression of who Jean Paul is. Chef's Kiss.

I long to see him grace the pages of a fresh story.
I long to see him thriving with a full X-Factor crew.
I'm eager to learn if he and Kyle have since secured the baby-thread that was dangled at Trial of Magneto's conclusion.

I just miss this guy so much.

Only thing I've read with this character in was the last X-Factor book. I really liked him in that.
It was funny when Speed was trying to race him.

For a new X-Factor roster, I'd probably go with:
Northstar
Prodigy
Eyeboy
Catseye (subbed for Daken)
Siryn (subbed in for Lorna)
Hindsight (subbing for Rachel)

Really good choices. Especially Catseye. I think they could also keep Prodigy if he's not doing anything else.

I missed that. Who won the race?

They don't actually race. Speed pesters for one but Northstar refuses. Very playfully though. Maybe if the book hadn't been cancelled they would have got around it. It's still a fun scene. Issue 7 of X-Factor from 2020.

Ah, I can picture Speed pestering and John-Paul refusing, lol.

Thank you for the info!

This week's Captain America #750 has a nice little Northstar cameo:

The same Captain America who was crushing on Kyle?
