In Episode 63, we asked you to design the New Mutants some alternate graduation costumes, since the canonical ones… left a bit to be desired. And dang, did you deliver! We’ve collected the first batch here, but we’ll be putting up another late this or early next week (or both, depending on volume), so you’ve still got time to get yours in! (E-mail to xplainthexmen(at)gmail(dot)com, with the subject line GRADUATION.)
Magik, by Nelson Hernandez. (TRUE FACT: Superheroes in jackets are the best superheroes.)
Magma, by Kate Schwarz
Wolfsbane, by Scott Sheldon
Mirage, by Casey Cookson. Casey specifies: “Dani’s “X” is actually the flag for the Northern Cheyenne, I couldn’t find out if she is actually Northern or if she is Southern Cheyenne. If you or your viewers know I’d love to get feedback so I can fix it.”
Magik, by Casey Cookson.
Warlock and Cypher, by Casey Cookson.
The full team, by Mike Becker. I particularly love the many subtle nods to future teams and costumes!
Sunspot, by Eric Patton.
An 80s-tastic full team, by Jamie F.
Casey Cookson’s CYPHER design is EVERYTHING! well done!
Loving Casey’s designs here a lot, especially if that is the right flag for Dani, and that’s an awesome Warlock.
In addition to that, if Rahne’s costume had the Scottish Saltire (A white X on a dark blue background) as a similar motif it might make a nice complement to Dani, and also be a reminder of the empathic link they share.
Oh gosh, that’s pretty cute. Don’t make me draw more costumes.
I feel I should apologise, but seeing what a cute Doug and Warlock you did… nope, not even remotely sorry at the thought of seeing more of your work! 🙂
Although you’d have to be careful to avoid veering into X-Factor territory…
-Rachel, who realized recently that the best way to find Cyclops-X-Factor-costume hoodies if you google “Scottish flag shirt.”
Heh, I am Scottish, and had noticed that in the past, but since I’ve never aspired to cosplay X-Factor, I think I’m all right! 🙂
Cyclops should consider rockin’ the kilt. I think it would be a good look for him.
Cyclops! Stop whatever you’re doing, and put on some pants!!
Hey now. “Slim” Summers would look awesome in a kilt, and they are quite comfortable! 🙂
I sense there’s a pun in there somewhere.
I’d buy Jamie F’s New Mutants, and most definitely an Evil Knievel Cannonball mini.
If there’s still room in the All-New, All-Different Marvel for a New Mutants book, I think we have plenty of loyal RAMXPTXM listeners who would do a tremendous job!
Oh man… Nelson Hernandez’s Magik is INCREDIBLE.
Amazing outfits. I especially like the designs by Casey Cookson and Mike Becker.
I love Jamie’s 80s take on the team costumes – they are awesome! Very teen appropriate
I adore that Cypher/Warlock design. Amazing.
Unrelated to costumes, what I really want is a Marvel omnibus of Claremont’s New Mutants. Given the recent confirmation that a New Mutants TV show is in the works, any thoughts on how likely it is that Marvel might release some kind of a New Mutants omnibus?
