X-Men heroes Cyclops, Wolverine And Colossus Get a new, matching look at creative fan art that takes a unique approach to the Marvel heroes. The X-Men have long had some of the most colorful and variable costumes in Marvel lore, with Xavier dressing his students in order to establish a connection between Homos superior and superheroism in the public imagination. At other times, the X-Men are forced to go more low-key, able to blend into a world that hates and fears them. However, this new redesign allows the mutant heroes to take their rightful place as the protectors of tomorrow.
In amazing art by The WarblazerCyclops and Wolverine stand side by side wearing black and red costumes. While Logan (drawn in his comically-accurate height) has confined his design to his jacket, complemented by a plaid shirt and black trousers, Cyclops goes for a futuristic tabard, with the red highlights perfectly matching the energy of​​​​his optic blasts.
Following fan reaction to the initial art, Warblazer also posted a solo design page for Cyclops, as well as adding the steel-skinned Colossus to the original art (below.) Colossus gets an even more ambitious red and black costume, with cutouts referencing His classic costume in X-Men comics. Each character’s costume is detailed with the hero team’s iconic ‘X’ logo.

The X-Men franchise has gone back and forth on matching costumes
X-Men has varied its costumes over the years, with several eras like Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s New X-Men Give the team matching costumes, and others (like the last Krakoan Era) basically give everyone their own look, loosely tied together by an ‘X’ belt buckle. The art of the warblazer lies in the former, giving the X-Men a futuristic, somewhat cunning look, they take beyond the ‘superhero’ aesthetic and in their unique mission as protectors of the next evolution of the human race.
This X-Men fanart is reminiscent of Alex Ross’ unused X-Men remakes
The costumes of the iconic artist never actually appeared in the comics
The vision of monochrome X-Men with plenty of black brings to mind Alex Ross’ designs for the team, with Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Wolverine and more getting incredibly stylish costumes. Unfortunately – while the looks are included in Marvel’s Millennial Visions: X-Men – They only appeared as illustrations alongside a text story, and have yet to appear in a traditional comic story despite being popular among fans.
Indeed, the enduring popularity of Ross’ redesigns and fan reaction to the Warblazer’s amazing fandom should get Marvel to think about how good X-Men as Wolverine, Cyclops And Colossus Look at the two-tone costumes.
