Re-Colour Week

This week I'll be posting character styles that are re-colourings of costumes that have already been featured on the blog. For example Uncanny X-Force Psylocke, and Dark Phoenix Jean Grey.

Rather than repeating myself, I'll simply link to the original post and specify the colour differences and any slight style changes. If there are any entirely new styles, I'll list how to obtain them, the way I would in a regular blog post.

Psylocke - Original X-Men

Psylocke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psylocke) originally joined the X-Men in 1987 after a bunch of adventures in the Captain Britain comics as a spy and model. Her first costume was three shades of pink, had puffy sleeves and ribbons attached at the wrist... I guess in case she needed to garrotte someone and nothing else was handy.

Getting The Look
You don't need any extras to put this pink celebration together. There are only four style pieces, and only one of them requires any work to obtain.

Scarlet Witch - Uncanny Avengers

The Scarlet Witch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_Witch) stopped being crazy and rejoined the Uncanny Avengers. And nothing says 'I'm not crazy anymore' like a new costume consisting of your old headpiece, a low cut leather coat dress and some boots.

Getting The Look

An easy look to put together, with only the headpiece requiring some effort to acquire. This costume uses the same crimson colouring as the Scarlet Witch's classic look, and as with that costume you will need to be a Legendary member or have access to Amazon Fury, Part 1 with a CR of 100.

Scarlet Witch

The Scarlet Witch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_Witch) is best known as a mutant and the daughter of Magneto. Her powers are sometimes defined as the ability to manipulate probability to make improbable events happen, and sometimes as magic, depending on who is writing her that month. About to be ruined in the comics because of her starring role in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Getting The Look

I tried quite a few times in the early days of DCUO to come up with a good Scarlet Witch, but could never get one I was happy with. Her headpiece is so distinctive that everything seemed like a poor substitute, until the release of Amazon Fury, Part 1 with it's range of Amazonian headpieces.

The Scarlet Witch has worn many versions of this costume over the years, with many slight variations. I've gone with a more modern interpretation of the look.

Lady Mastermind

Lady Mastermind (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Mastermind) is a mutant super villain and briefly one of the X-Men, despite killing Lifeguard and Slipstream's father in cold blood and generally being a psychotic bitch. She has the power to project psychic illusions into people's brains and likes to go shopping with Margaery Tyrell for outfits with really deep cleavage.

Getting The Look

Lady Mastermind's X-Men costume is simple to create, with all but three pieces available at character creation. As with Magik's Marvel Now costume, you will need to use one of your costume colour palettes to create Lady M's signature cleavage-baring ensemble.

Magik - Marvel Now

Magik (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magik_%28comics%29) is the little sister of Colossus and an X-Man in her own right . Artificially aged in a demon dimension as a child, she's missing just enough of her soul to be creepy, which might also explain why she decided to start taking fashion advice from Marvel Now Emma Frost.

Getting The Look

Marvel Now Magik has one of those big, impractical, glowing swords you see in a lot of fantasy MMORPGs. Once you have that the rest of this look is pretty easy to put together (OK, except for the shoulders. The shoulders are hard).

Gamora

Before she was a Guardians Of The Galaxy movie star Gamora was just your everyday alien, space-chick, cyborg, assassin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamora). The adopted daughter of Thanos she's known for two things: being the "deadliest woman in the universe" and wearing an outfit that even Psylocke thought was too impractical for combat.

Getting The Look

The hardest part of putting Gamora's look together is getting just the right shade of green in the costume palette to match her skin tone. Even then, because of the way light reacts differently to costumes and skin in the game, sometimes it will look perfectly matched and other times it's a little off.
