The Many looks of Jean Grey Part Twelve Marvel Girl gets a New Look.

 As explained last time, the original X- Men had formed a new group calling themselves X-Factor. This was a very public group that presented themselves at Human's who hunted down rogue and dangerous Mutants. This was a ruse as the group were in fact Mutants themselves who were trying to help other Mutants  who were being hounded by the general public.

At the same time the original X-Men needed at times to use their abilities as themselves. They could not call themselves The X-Men so another name for the group needed to be found. This is where the X-Terminators came to be. This was a name suggested by Warren Worthington III's right hand man Cameron Hodge. Warren aka Angel was financing the whole X-Factor programme but unknow to him that Cameron was a Mutant hater himself, and was planning the down fall of his employer and all Mutants.

This would come to light later on in the series where the X-Terminators were outed as being X-Factor.


The "New" X-Terminators wore costumes based on a similar design. A full body suit with a large Yellow-Gold X motive on it. The Only difference each member had was that they were all different colours.  These colours very much took there lead from the costumes that they had received when the Graduated. Cyclops wore Dark Blue, Angel wore Red, Iceman wore light Blue (Which was never really seen in his ice form) Beast would not wear this costume at first as he was still Big Blue and Furry, but once he looked more Human again he wore a Brown costume. And Finally Marvel Girl wore Green.





At first Jean wore a full cowl, but later she adopted a more open mask.





When the X-Terminators were outed at being X-Factor, the group adopted the name X-Factor. Jean change her colour to red. As now Angel had now transformed into a Blue Skinned Metal Winged razor sharp instrument of Death, Jean choose a Red costume which was a nod to her time linked to The Phoenix Force. This link not known at the time would remain with her for the foreseeable future.


Here is Jean's Red X-Factor Uniform.




Next time we find out what the Ex Mrs Scott Summers was getting up to, and it is revealed who she really was. 



Until the ENJOY !
