It was good for the era and it was before her headgear started becoming iconic. Though her headgear doesn’t have much in the way of deeper meaning the way it was given in live action.
Its nice to see so many Acolytes make the covers of the every mutant ever set of covers.
Some other fans noticed as well.
I can't see the MCU using the Acolytes at least for a decade or so. Too many characters with too many strange and distinct power sets that it would drive the CGI people nuts. Eventually the computers will make it much easier though. The Brotherhood is what the MCU will likely start with unless they go the mutant homeland route from the start. Ironically the Brotherhood is the one Magneto centered mutant team that Lorna has no historical affiliation with any of their multiple incarnations.
I don’t think Lorna works as the middle between Magneto and old Xavier. Not the way things evolved where there are too many other X-Men in the role from Betsy to Scott to Wolverine and on and on. Even Jean will likely be joining ‘the middle’ with X-Force and Kitty seemingly in her title. Magneto isn’t the foil he was 20 years ago either. Time have changed.
Magneto, Emma, even Mystique have much more to bring to the table as X-Men then Lorna does. Complaining about Marvel won’t change that. I am long over doing that. Finding ways for her to adapt to the new environment might.
