X-MEN and the story behind their costumes

Started by Jury Copeland16 pages

Interesting indeed...

I'll try the Real McCoy...

Like the other original X-Men, the Beast was given a standard training uniform by Xavier. His version, however, included no boots or gloves, as they would hinder his ability to cling to or bounce off walls. [X-Men (1st series) #43 backstory]

Jean Grey later redesigned the training uniforms and, while hers changed into a more “female” version, the ones of the male X-Men more or less stayed the same. She only added a red belt and the yellow shirts were no longer covering the entire upper body. [X-Men (1st series) #27]

that's why I'm sharing them to you.

and it's fun, isn't it?

but still someone has trying to spoil it.

Just saying that you should have write the source where you copied them...

Beast (2nd of 11)

After the team had proved themselves in battle time and again, Xavier rewarded them with the right for individual costumes. This set was again designed by Jean, whom Xavier had secretly told of this plan before. [X-Men (1st series) #39]

Haven't I mentioned those were Monolith's and Peter Luzifer's. I didn't say those were mine in the first place. So what's the problem there, huh?

I think I need to take an action for this... if you give me a wrong answer.

Attention: Kes, could you please tell me if there's any problem with my posts? I should appreciate whatever you'll say Kes. DarkCrawler, in his 'highness', has been mean to me since I posted this. And I believe it's not healthy for a forum member like me if we should tolerate such behavior.

I don't know if I'll be continuing this.. after DarkClawer has tried to spoil this thread by questioning the sources of my posts.

Thank you. I'm not mad, just to remind you DC.. I have nothing against you... I just wonder why you are so mean to me and to my posts.

😎

DarkCrawler lay off Jury!

I am sorry. Hope you can forgive me.

SO... you were on Beast, Jury.......

SOME BODY DO NORTHSTAR!!!!

Or else I might lol

I'll be doing for Northstar as soon as I finish the Beast...

Continuing with Beast... (3rd of 11)

During the time Hank had left the X-Men to work for the Brand Corporation, he discovered a chemical factor that caused mutations. Drinking a serum derived from that factor, he further mutated and was now a true Beast. [Amazing Adventures #11]

(cf. Costume Gallery by Monolith and Peter Luzifer)

Beast (4th of 11)

After a couple of days, the gray fur changed color to blue/black. [Amazing Adventures #15] In this look, the Beast was a member of both the Avengers and later on the Defenders.

(cf. Costume Gallery by Monolith and Peter Luzifer)

Beast (5th of 11)

Right after the original five X-Men reunited to form X-Factor, Hank was kidnapped by a scientist who experimented with a mutation repressing device on him. Now again looking human, the Beast could, just like his teammates, switch between costumes and appear as either member of the mutant team X-Terminators or the mutant hunters X-Factor. [X-Factor #4-5]

Beast (6th of 11)

(cf. Costume Gallery by Monolith and Peter Luzifer)

Beast (7th of 11)

After they saved New York from Apocalypse and his Horsemen, X-Factor finally ended their charade and exposed their cover to the media. They became celebrities and a thankful designer, whom the team had rescued earlier that day, created a new look for them. The new costumes were close to the X-Terminator uniforms but the color schemes were different. [X-Factor #26] Even after an encounter with Infectia caused Hank to mutate again, he still wore the brown and yellow outfit of top of his fur, sans mask. [X-Factor #31]

During Inferno the Beast stopped wearing the costume and returned to the shorts he was wearing as a member of the Avengers and Defenders. Once more, he stuck to this look for a very long time, even after he and the other original five rejoined the X-Men.

Beast (8th of 11)

When the X-Men were abducted to space to help battle an alien invasion, they had nothing to wear but some Shi’Ar mining suits and other uniforms. The exact capabilities of the suit worn by the Beast are unknown. [Uncanny X-Men #342]

Back on Earth, Hank returned to his usual look.

Beast (9th of 11)

For a time, the Beast had left the X-Men to devote more time to his biochemical studies. When he returned, the X-Men adopted some sort of team look. Each costume had a big X across the chest area and Hank’s version included many gadgets and pockets and a mask with red goggles. They were an early version of the special glasses used by the X-Treme X-Men team. [Uncanny X-Men #381]

Beast (10th of 11)

After the X-Treme X-Men left the mansion, they came up with a set of new costumes, probably to set themselves further apart from the other X-Men groups. The Beast’s outfit still included some pockets and gadgets, though allowed more freedom of movement than the version he wore before. [X-Treme X-Men #1]

And...

Massive injuries forced Hank to return to Westchester. During recovery, he experienced a secondary mutation, resulting in a giant, bulky cat-like appearance. Just like the other X-Men at the mansion, Hank no longer wears a bright costume, but is now using some leather outfits that almost look like street clothes. The members have a vast supply of different shirts, coats and jackets from which to pick. [New X-Men #114]

When Jean-Paul joined the Flight program of Department H, he received the standard training uniform worn by all new recruits and Gamma Flight members. [Alpha Flight (1st series) #92]
