thats not racist at all....dreadlocks were origniated in black culture..black people's hair are more suitable for dreadlocks than whities...same with cornrows....you ever see a white person with cornrows? 😘

i don't know on that. maybe they aren't so bad. i can see jean pulling off half-cornrows, you know, where the hair is braided flat against the skull in front and then cuts off, flowing loose in the back? that would look nice. i know for a fact that redheads can pull that look off. (glances vainly in mirror, smiling to self) anyhow. it's not a demand, it's a suggestion. i personally think that it would be fun to have a change. anyway. talk l8er, y'all!
Gah...no, Jean should not cornrow her hair. I mean, it's a good thought, but that would take away all his seriousness. I know I myself would never take her seriously.
And there has been an X-men with dreads. Bishop has had dreads many times in X-men. First he had the Jerri-curl, then dreads, and now he's bald. Well, buzzed I suppose is really what is.
well, yeah, sure, you could do it in such a way that she would look silly and be taken none too seriously. or you could do it so that she doesn't. full cornrows would be awful, i agree. but maybe partial ... they're cool-looking, and practical. they keep your hair out of your face. make it easier to see, especially when you're out there fighting. i fence and do broadsword, short-sword, long-sword, and dagger and knife fighting, and i tell ya, cornrows that start at the hairline and go back to the crown are super-convenient. but yeah, i definitely see your point. now what's making me curious is ... what'll the response to this be?
Hahaha, I'm not really sure actually. I guess it also depends on what Jean you're talking about.
Take Ultimate X-men (My favorite series!) Jean for example. She's already got short, sexy hair. That Jean's hair should not be cornrowed.
But I do see your point for getting the hair out of your face, it does make sense. ^^

Yes. He's in my aisle in the Locker Room during Gym.
As for all those unique hairstyles, Storm sported one not too long ago in X-Treme. (See attachment).
One of the Assassin's Guilds members had dreadlocks. He was a big player or something in the old Gambit series.
Ultimate Dazzler's hair = Sonic the Hedgehog. But it's cool.
Cyclop's has the visor or the shades. He's NOT unrecognizable.
You can't throw a rock without hitting Wolverine in the Marvel Universe these days, so itd be hard not to recognize ONE of him.
Emma is pretty much the only blonde haired blue eyed female lead. Rogue is the interesting skunk. Remy's got the eyes. Beast...well, yeah. Jean is our red tresses beau (we don't see much of Rahne in mainstream anyway).
Bishop is the big black male, Nightcrawler is blue and furry.
No, these guys are pretty distinguishable.
true 'nuff, on most points. but the real problem hasn't been addressed much lately. what we were originally talking about was the generic male. light to medium brown hair, white skin, lean build. from a distance, you can't hardly tell anyone from everyone else. and it gets even worse when some people draw them the same. what gambitindaflesh said when we started this thread was 'I just see so many pics and some times I have no idea if it's Havoc, Gambit, Cylops, or some guy I don't know'. that's exactly right. that's how i feel. we decided that there were some distinguishing features, like gambit with the trenchcoat and cyclops with the visor, but there's gotta be something more. a pixellated pic of these guys, and you can't tell who it is. we need... um... well... let's see... hmmm... i'm not sure what we need. maybe cyclops should dye his hair... purple. yeah. and gambit should have red hair. not auburn, but red. like me! or jean, for a better-known example. naw, i'm only kidding. help me out, y'all! 😄 anyway, that's what i've got for now. cy'all!

oh, yeah. of course. i know. i was simply pointing out that some people who are not black can still do the style. i know, it's generally not a white style, because it's harder with the finer, more silky hair. but it can be, and is often, done. i know there was no offense. i sure didn't mean to sound as though i'd taken any! so thanks for helping clear that up. well, talk to y'all l8er!

Hairstyles are definitly not the only method to make a character look unique.
Btw, the real problem is, that some artists tend to make all the bodies and faces look alike.
Take Brett Booth for example! His drawings are quite cool, but when you take a good look at the characters, you will see that they are pretty much clones with different costumes and colors, but nonetheless clones...that sucks! Unfortunately he's just one example out of so many.
Superheroes tend to be quite athletic and physically fit and i also understand, that good lookings sell better when it comes to the commercial aspects of comics BUT as a real good artist you learn, that there exist different types of bone- and musclestructures and different forms of faces that can look good without looking the same!!!
