Colossus


The Russian Colossus is capable of transforming his body into "organic steel", a metallic form capable of great strength and invulnerability. He's also pretty handy with a paintbrush.

Hope Summers


Hope Summers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_Summers_(comics)) is the adopted daughter of Cable and the "saviour" of the mutant race. At least until the Inhumans came along as part of Marvel's quest to replace all things mutant. So hey Hope, sorry your whole existence was kind of a waste of time. Hope can duplicate the powers of any mutant within range and learnt how to like really big, impractical guns from her daddy. Also, Phoenix stuff that I'm not going to try to explain here.
Getting The Look
Hope has one of those annoying superhero costumes that shifts subtly from artist to artist and issue to issue. But while some of the details change, the basics of it remain the same: green and yellow jumpsuit, ragged cape, big gun.

Rachel Grey - Jean Grey School


After returning from space Rachel Grey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Summers) hung out at the Jean Grey School in Wolverine And The X-Men, but was only shown teaching once that I can remember. She probably spent the rest of her time seeing a therapist to try and figure out why she likes spikes so much. Despite the fact that they were part of her original hound costume; given to her by the people that imprisoned, tortured and forced her to hunt down other mutants to be slaughtered.

Getting The Look
Even though this costume makes no sense from a character perspective, I still love it. Pouches, the spikes, a jacket which is really just long strips of material whipping around... What's not to love.

Dark Phoenix


The Dark Phoenix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Force_(comics)) was a cosmic duplicate of Jean Grey, who everyone thought WAS actually Jean Grey, BUT who had actually stashed the real Jean Grey in a cocoon at the bottom of a bay in New York. I'm not explaining anymore than that.

Rachel Grey - Phoenix


Rachel Grey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Summers) rejoined Excalibur after a leave of absence in outer space (sure, why not) and decided that wearing the costume her not-quite-Mom's cosmic copy slaughtered a bunch of people in was a good idea because it was a better 'fashion statement'. That last part isn't even a joke.

Jean Grey - White Phoenix


Jean Grey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Grey) died, went to the 'White Hot Room', and started wearing a white version of her old Phoenix costume. Maybe she was planning on getting married?

Rachel Grey - Excalibur


Rachel Grey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Summersis the future daughter of Cyclops and Jean Grey... Or maybe of Cyclops and the Phoenix Force posing as Jean Grey... Or maybe it was Cyclops and a Jean Grey who was just possessed by the Phoenix Force... She sometimes has the power of the Phoenix, and came back in time after one of the shittier childhoods in comics to join the X-Men and then Excalibur.
Getting The Look
The facial tattoos that Rachel Grey has as a hound and Phoenix are so distinctive that it's bizarre that there is a mask in DCUO that replicates them perfectly. Yet that's exactly what the League Of Assassins style face let's you do.

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.

Jean Grey - Phoenix


If you don't know who Jean Grey is hit up her Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Grey). She's a mutant and X-Man who got possessed by a big, fiery cosmic bird thing (for a while) that has way better taste in clothes than she does.
Getting The Look
Jean's classic Phoenix outfit is pretty easy to make. All except one of the styles are available at character creation. Her sash-like belt (Tech Ninja) is the only item you'll need to track down, and even then it's as easy as spending a bit of cash at the auction house. Way better than a rare drop you'll need to grind in the hope of getting.
