Jean Grey


Jean Grey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Grey) is the original female X-Man (or X-Woman if you want to be sexist). Her hobbies include moving things with her mind, not having great code names and saying "Scott!" and then passing out. Currently: super dead.
Getting The Look
Jean Grey's Jim Lee designed costume is easily my favourite the character has worn. Most people know it, with a slight alteration to the headpiece, from the 90's X-Men animated series. This version looks great, is almost exactly comic book accurate and is heaps of fun to run around in. It's also kind of hard to put together.

Emma Frost - Marvel Now


Emma Frost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Frost) got bitch slapped by the Phoenix, picked another slutty outfit - but spoiler alert, it's black this time! - and lost most of her telepathy. She's currently running around with Cyclop's X-Men in the latest volume of Uncanny X-Men.
Getting The Look
Making Emma's Marvel Now look hinges on having the Necromancer chest style with the gaping open front. Combine it with the Classic cape as a substitute for her jacket. Necromancer chest is easy to obtain and drops in low level content or is purchaseable from the marketplace. The cape, boots, hot pants and belt are all available at character creation. Also available at character creation is the Crystalline skin style which works great for Emma's diamond form.
