Description A revised edition of an earlier idea.  I'm not a big fan of X'ian so went with Rahne despite wanting to put her on an X-factor Squad.  Rahne, Berto and Alison will all get their alternate appearances in later piece.

Sam Guthrie/Cannonball:  The heart and soul of the team.

Alison Crestmere/Magma:  a bit of a rush job but it was knackred by the time it came round to her.  I felt that the 616 Magma is a confused character (bloody Liefield) with a ridiculously convoluted backstory.  So my Magma is not some Roma/Brazillian/English hybrid but a Briton who was raised in Brazil (parents work).

Dani Moonstar:  I love Dani, one of my favorites.  I tried to veer away from doing a stereotypical "native American" design and instead went for a bit of a cowgirl look.  I did try to keep some of her roots thought with the jazzy belt.  Dani is the leader of the group.

Roberto Da Costa/Sunspot:  I'm eagerly anticipating the World Cup so my 'Berto is not rich through parentage but attained wealth through being a rising "soccer" star.  However, his emerging powers would end his career and see him branded a cheat.

Rahne Sinclair/Wolfsbane:  My Rahne is the same spunky catholic kid with a douchebag dad.  Rahne feels more comfortable in her wolf form due to her insecurities brought on by years of abuse.

I plan on doing 3 more X teams made up of latter Xavier students (a red, green and blue team).  There will be an incarnation of X-factor, GenX and AcademyX (Hellion, Rockside ETC).

Magma's convoluted backstory (Brazilian/Roman/English girl kidnapped and brainwashed to THINK she's Roman/back to Actual Roman again) is not Liefeld's doing. You can lay that one on Fabian Nicieza, who wrote the Child's Play arc where it was revealed. Liefeld was long gone by that point.

Quick note, Rahne's not Catholic, she was raised Scottish Presbyterian.

I think Claremont is the one responsible for the ridiculous background of Magma. She also didn't have much of personality back in his new mutant run (I always so her as an unnecessary add for the team). But yeah, I think "confused" was her main character trait.
Nice revision on the characters.

Claremont lost his magic the longer he went on, destroyed Exiles which until he arrived had been excellent.  Far too descriptive in his writing, Liefield IS responsible for the look of the character whom is supposed to be a Brazilian but looks like your typical hayseed, all his women looked basically the same.

Oh, and Liefield destryoed the New Mutants. Literally.

Oh, are you also an Exiles fan? I LOVED that series. I felt in love with Blink's design after watching Wolverine and the X-men animated series. Then I had to check on her and found the Exiles.
Suffice to say I didn't regret.

Yeah, WAS being the operative word.  Blink looks phenomenal in DOFP, Fan Bingbang is one beautiful lady (even though I'm pretty sure Clarice is supposed to be of Jamaican decent) but I love her design.  Unfortunately I am about 10-12 X-men away from adding her to my roster.

Bahaman. Clarice was born in the Bahamas, but was raised in Florida, according to her Age of Apocalypse counterpart's bio.

Ah! That clears it up.  That's where I read it too but obviously got it mixed up.  Thank you.

You're welcome! Personally, I'm assuming the same applies to the Earth-616 Blink as well, but as far as I know, no story has established it.

Isn't 616 Blink and AoA Blink the same? I swear she joined the mainstream MU after her stint in Exiles.

L1701E In reply to cspencey [2015-01-26 05:17:54 +0000 UTC]

Nope. The 616 Blink was brought back in the Necrosha storyline and last appeared in the latest New Mutants series and joined Wolverine at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. The AoA Blink's status is unknown.

Well, she doesn't look in the comics as any Jamaican I know, so I guess a Japanese actress is as good as any.
Fan has some "elvish" quality in her, but judging only by appearence, I would crave for an actress who had more pointy facial structrue than she has. Still good though. 
And I'll keep watching which interesting characters you'll draw next.

Fan Bingbing is Chinese, not Japanese. She is also a singer.
