257. Havok

Havok has had his share of terrible costumes. Pretty much anything past 1994 or so. I’m pretty sure you can add this one to the list. For me, you can’t get past the perfection of his original outfit. It’s great and if you don’t think so, there’s the cliff off which you can dive. I’d …

253. Dazzler

340 – Captain Britain

I’ve been a fan of this character since the early days of Excalibur. Later on, I picked up the trade paperbacks collecting the Marvel UK stories by Alan Moore and Jamie Delano and absolutely loved them, though I hadn’t read Excalibur since like issue 50 back in the ’90s. I pretty much ignored all C.B. …

336 – The Orphan

X-Force/X-Statix is a comic I need to re-read sometime.

324 – Scarlet Witch

302 – Longshot
