X-MEN and the story behind their costumes

Started by Sunspot16 pages

After his wings were amputated, Warren was kidnapped by Apocalypse, who remodeled the mutant in his own image. Warren’s skin turned blue and he was given metallic wings to replace to replace his old ones. While serving as the Horseman, Death, he wore a metallic helmet resembling a skull. [X-Factor #23] Once Warren broke free from Apocalypse, he rejoined his teammates and soon was named Archangel. He continued to wear the blue and purple costume for quite some time.

Only several weeks after Warren had fully come to terms with the changes forced upon him, by then being already back with the X-Men, he started to wear his old costume again. In fact, he began to alternate between the blue and red angelic outfit. [Uncanny X-Men #319] Surprisingly, his feather wings grew back underneath the metal ones not much later. [Uncanny X-Men #338]

Warren later retired from the X-Men to care for his injured lover Psylocke and to devote more time to Worthington Enterprises. He only helped out the X-Men from time to time, but when they adopted some sort of team look, he went along with the change. Each costume had a big X across the chest area and Warren’s version was made of some form or armor. [X-Men (2nd series) #101]

By the time Archangel fully returned to active duty, the X-Men no longer wore bright costume, but were using some leather outfits that almost look like street clothes. The members had a vast supply of different shirts, coats and jackets from which to pick. [Uncanny X-Men #394]

An encounter with Black Tom, who tried to suck the life out of him, nearly cost Warren his life. Strangely though, it caused him to manifest his secondary ability of healing and his skin tone returned to his usual color. Maybe as a representation of this “rebirth,” Archangel settled for an entirely new look. [Uncanny X-Men #412, 415]

1-Winged Angel: its a parallel universe, it's not the main one

Meggan

The first costume which Meggan wore for a long time, before and after her transformation into a beauty, was a simple orange-brownish sleeveless skintight suit with a turtleneck, a low-cut back and no shoes. Although she probably started to wear it for practical reasons (the costume allowing free movement of her bat wings and clawed feet), it seemed to underline her naiveté and the fact that she was very unsophisticated. [Captain Britain (2nd series) #5]

While she was influenced by the events of Inferno, Meggan changed into the “Goblin Princess” and dressed as a mix of a dominatrix and a character from an old horror movie (or the Rocky Horror Picture Show), accentuating both her sexuality and the evil forced that had taken her over. She suddenly sported a hairstyle reminiscent of the Bride of Frankenstein, wore a skintight, low-cut leather bodice, thigh-high stiletto boots, opera gloves, fishnet stockings and along torn cape. [Excalibur (1st series) #6-7, 46]

During the Cross-Time Caper, Meggan got a new more sophisticated outfit: a dark-green long-sleeved suit that left her shoulders and feet bare. Broad black stripes in the shape of the letter M accentuated her shoulders and her waist and hips. [Excalibur (1st series) #14]

....

Finally...

Later, when the team grew closer to the X-Men, Meggan felt she needed another change. She still wore a green suit (with the top in a lighter color) with a sleeveless bodice, long green gloves with golden adornments and an asymmetrical x-belt on her hips. [Excalibur (1st series) #96]
