Tom Brevoort may or may not have disliked the character, but those theories aside Tom Brevoort is not here anymore. And as I said, there is no net gain or loss for Marvel to bother with Polaris fans in that way. Nobody there cares that much.
You mean years? Hickman is not new to long-term planning on his books, and he had lots of lead time on this one.
People are not plotting to add green hair to his characters behind his back as a secret fuck you to Polaris fans. That is absolutely insane. Those details are scripted. So you have two options:
1) The use of a Polaris resemblance is deliberate bc of a thematic reason that may either be plot-relevant or may be as simple as 'Hickman thought it would be cool for one of the Chimeras to resemble Polaris the way Cardinal resembles Nightcrawler and Rasputin resembles Colossus and Magik'
2) The use of a Polaris resemblance is deliberate bc Hickman hates Polaris fans and wants to demean them by... having a Hound resemble her? Which I don't take offense to, BTW.
YMMV.
