Legion of X #7 Preview - Reveals two new looks for long established characters

[icon_uk]

Full preview

The first is the already sort of know alteration of a certain blue fuzzy elf...



Kurt is addressing his staff at the Altar, the bubble universe within Legions mind, and has to address the elephant in the room, well, not the elephant, but his "new look"....



Awww... poor Kurt, but he DOES rock the look!

Meanwhile...



This I'm rather more torn on, I know there have always been stories based around Warlock being "more human than most humans" despite being a literal extraplanetary alien, but I'd hope his astral self would be a little more.. abstract, as befits a member of a species for whom appearance and form are a perpetually changing thing.  Still, let's see where it goes...

Ugh. It's been damn near twenty years since The Draco and we're still on this Actual Demon Nightcrawler bullshit? Nobody's clocked how messed-up it is to have the point of Kurt's character now be "You are exactly what you look like"?

I like the look of Kurt with horns, though it's an unnecessary changes.

I don't like Warlock's astral form being a generic human shape. Not when he's always been defined by his extreme mutability and constantly changing form. It doesn't feel like -him-.

Can't say I'm a fan of Nightcrawler's horns.

Though weirdly it just makes me wish that they'd do that to Beast. I always thought he'd rock that look as a way to make him a bit more beast-like without making him appear like any specific animal (one of the reasons I was never fond of his cat appearance).

I don't hate Kurt's new look. Makes him look even more devilishly handsome. Pun very much intended.

I wasn't so sold on Warlock's new look, but it is only his astral form, so I'm not too mad.

"Sweet mother of God! Look at what's happened to yon poor keebler's heid!"
"Sean. You do know that your's is on fire?"

I assume they ruled this out as being a secondary mutation? Because that seems the most obvious.

[donnblake]

That probably falls under biological trigger.

Of course you don't bring coal to naughty kids, Kurt. You kidnap them in a burlap sack. When Krampus punishes children, he PUNISHES children.
