Fascinating Fanart: Gambit

Image
You know what I love about Gambit?  Everything.  I think it's probably his attitude that draws people in though.  He's consistently having a blast or at least finding whatever humor there may be to find in any situation.  Got that constant laid-back thing going.  Also, how many comic characters have a thick Cajun accent?  How many grew up in a thieves' guild?  He's got that good guy/bad guy thing that Catwoman has.  Maybe he'll help you out, but if it doesn't benefit him, maybe he won't. Did I mention that he can make things explode with his mind?  Okay, so he transfers energy into inanimate objects and then they explode, but still .  His name is Remy Lebeau, a lovely New Orleans-style name; his code name is Gambit, which is perfect for a master thief and his nickname is the Ragin' Cajun.  Oh, yeah, and he totally landed Rogue.  So, you know...yay, Gambit!

Fascinating Fanart: Psylocke

Yay!  Psylocke!  I've been waiting for sooooo long for her to be in an X-Men movie!  And no, that five-second role in 'Last Stand' does not count.  Not by a mile.  Not only is she finally in her getup-which looks like she stepped out of the comics (see below), but we finally get to see her use a sword and Psi-Bolts (you'll see...)!  You'll notice in the fan art that sometimes she looks Asian and sometimes she doesn't.  That's because during her comic run, she had two bodies-one British and one Asian because crazy shit happens in comics!  They could dedicate an entire movie to her and we still wouldn't scratch the surface of her story so far.  So here she is in (most of) her comic forms: Psylocke by pushfighter

Fascinating Fanart: 80s Storm!

Image
This is my favorite incarnation of Storm.  I love that whole covered-in-white-capes thing she did in the 90's, but not like the mohawk.  There's just something more daring about a mohawk.  Not everyone has the guts (or the face-shape) to pull it off.  When Chris Claremont turned in his design for this version of the character in the 80's, it was meant as a joke-at first.  People loved it and her character was going through some changes, so it stuck.  I think it's the most bold and memorable look on any of the X-Men yet.  I have some other favorites that we'll get to one day.

Evolutionary: Live-Action Mutants

Image
This is a list of X-Men (and other mutants) that started out in the comics but have now been represented in live-action form in movies or on TV.  I think you'll truly be surprised how many there are.  (I'm winking now) I will update this list as often as they let me see a new X-Men movie or show!  As per usual, if you can think of any others, let me know in the comments section!
