[Image description: Digital fanart of Rictor from Marvel Comics in his Excalibur (2019) Otherworld costume, but drawn with long hair. He is looking over his shoulder as he uses his powers. End image description]
Why don't you love Julio Esteban Richter and then maybe you'll calm down?
Playing with a different why of drawing faces (Everyone ignore how I messed up Shatterstar's eye star I am to tired to fix it)
[ID: Rictor and Shatterstar from x-men standing next to each other. Rictor has long straight hair and is wearing dark blue jeans, a black leather vest and and a striped t-shirt. His nails are painted black. Shatterstar is taller and has long curly orange hair in held in a ponytail by a scrunchie. Two strands are framing his face. His outfit consists of jeans and a tank top that leaves a strip of his stomach exposed. The back ground is a blue gradient sky with a sun and some clouds. End ID]
[Image ID: a fully coloured digital drawing of Shatterstar and Rictor’s kiss from Excalibur #26 (2021). They both have their eyes closed, and they’re blushing slightly. Shatterstar has one leg gently wrapped around Rictor, with one arm around his waist and the other resting on his chest. Rictor similarly has one hand touching Shatterstar’s back. end ID.]

ID: a drawing of Irene Adler from x-men comics. She is portrayed as a black woman, wearing all white, except for her large full face mask, and her jewelry, both of which are gold. Her eyes are all white and she is holding a magic 8-ball reading “it is certain”
End ID
If the choice is between being a criminal or being a super hero? Done. Super hero, dude. No competition. Ask me a harder question next time.
[ID: Three edits of David Alleyne, AKA Prodigy, on a yellow background.
ID1: David, from the shoulders up, is on the left of the image. Most of the space is taken up by the text, "David Alleyne". He is shown as he is in Young Avengers Vol. 2.
ID2: Most of the image is taken up by David, front and center, from X-Factor Vol. 4. He is smiling faintly and shown from the neck up.
ID3: David, from Young Avengers again, is shown from the chest up on the right half of the image. The left half is taken up by the words, "Knowledge isn't power. It's an intrinsic good." End IDs.]
X-Men Annual #1 - “Radiant” (2022)
written by Steve Foxe art by Andrea Di Vito & Sebastian Cheng
[ID: Two panels from the 2022 X-Men annual.
Panel 1: Picture of Bi-Beast, a shirtless man with two heads stacked on top of each other. Someone off panel says, "Bi-Beast is wrecking Vancouver."
Panel 2: Bobby Drake and Jean Grey talking.
Bobby: "Bi-Beast? I-"
Jean, interrupting: "Bobby." End ID.]
[ID: two comic panels from X-Men (2021) #9 showing Gambit and Destiny. 1: Remy is standing in a fighting stance by Destiny who is sitting down with a drink at a bar, and he says, "You know, Irene, for our supposedly greatest precog, you were dead helluva long time, really quite an accomplishment actually." 2: She replies, "You know, Remy, when I learned Rogue married a bumpkin thief from the Bayou, I asked them to kill me again. /END ID]
[ID: two more comic panels from the same issue. 1: Gambit is fighting something, hitting it with his staff and says to Destiny, "I'll bite, waddya got against me, anyway?" 2: Destiny is shown in shadow and looking down at her drink. She says, "There's not enough time in the world, or alcohol in this bar. You are my disappointment made flesh. On your right." /END ID]
I love that similarly to Mystique, Destiny just hates Gambit and really doesn't hide it. Poor Remy though because both his mother's in law hate him [x-men (2021 #9]
I gave up it's so hard so just a sketch.
But here's my karma hellfire gala look. Maybe I will finish and polish it later.
[ID: A drawing of a Xuân Cao Mạnh aka Karma from the New Mutants. She has slicked back black hair. She wears a prosthetic. She wears a pink top and pink pants. Her right arm covered in flying shapes instead of a sleeve. Her left leg with prosthetic is also covered in same way. Shapes are similar to her signature sliced circle energy symbol. She also wears two belts crossed as an X, a bracelet, and three necklaces. And a hair pin with gold and pink frill behind her ears. end ID.]
Pride 2023 Day 18: Xuân Cao Mạnh!
[id: a digital half-body drawing of Manh Cao Xuan from Marvel Comics, she is wearing her new mutants costumes. She stands while looking off to the side as she smirks in confidence. She dangles one hand in front of her and holds her other by the side of her in a gesture that indicates she is using her powers; her power signature spreads out over the left side of the canvas and is coloured in the lesbian flag. /end id]
Scottbobby hours
[Image ID: panels from an unknown comic. Scott is walking away from the Blackbird as someone follows him down the gangplantk. Off panel, a voice yells, "Hey, Scott!" A snowball hits Scott in the side of the head. Holding a snowball, Bobby leans out of the Blackbird, smiling, saying, "You're not that different." Scott wipes snow off his face, then keeps walking away as the Blackbird takes off. End ID]
// Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic #9
[ID: Two panels from Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic #9, showing David Alleyne AKA Prodigy and Tommy Shepherd AKA Speed on Tommy's bed in his bedroom. David is shirtless, with his pants unbuttoned, and he is not wearing his glasses. Tommy is wearing a T-shirt and shorts.
ID1: David lays on the bed with his head on the pillows. Tommy is the opposite, with his feet braced on the headboard and his arms behind his head.
David: Dude.
Tommy: Yeah?
ID2:
David: No offense, but your room smells awful.
Tommy: My socks smell awful. My room is just where I keep them.
David, in small text: God almighty.
In the second panel Tommy has shifted so that he is 'right side up' on the bed and is gesturing with one of his (bare) feet. End IDs.]
'Tis the season.
Iceman
[Image ID: A drawing of Iceman in his iceform done in monochrome blues and whites. His iceform is spiked around the neck and shoulders and his hair is spiky and crystalized. His arms are lowered but facing outward and his face is lifted to the sky. Snowflakes fall around him. End ID]
iceman is jewish btw
(from Iceman (1984))
[Image ID: Bobby, in a blue suit, talking to Marge Smith on her porch. Bobby says, "My dad's Irish-Catholic, my mom's Jewish. I was the only kid in Hebrew School who got off for St. Patrick's Day!" After a moment, he adds, "That was another joke, by the way." Marge replies, "I kind of thought it was." Bobby continues, "Any way... the Catholic kids used to ride me for being Jewish... the Jewish kids used to ride me for being Catholic... and that wasn't even my big problem!" Marge says, "there's more?" Bobby replies, "If I told, you wouldn't believe me." End ID]
As far as I know, the only other place it's addressed was in the Holiday Infinity Comic where it shows him spinning a dreidel. Not much, but it's relatively recent so I'll take it.
Another aspect of this that I'd like to highlight real quick is that it specifically says he went to Hebrew school- which means that he has isn't completely disconnected from his heritage.
Looking back, this might have been very subtle foreshadowing of Iceman turning out to be gay.
[Image ID:
Bobby Drake approaches Emma. They are both outside.
“Frost… I was hoping…”
“I can’t hear you,” she says.
“Achem… I… I was hoping that we could talk… about what happened.”
“Exactly which “what” would that be?“
"You want me to say it out loud? Fine. When you took over my body, when you… violated… my mind- you did thinks with my ice powers that I never.. things I haven’t figured out yet on my own. I just felt that after everything that happened, you owed me-”
Emma cuts in, “I owe you nothing, X-Man. It’s not my fault you’re a pathetic little loser who never bothered to push himself. Remember, I was inside your head. We both know the reason you’ve been afraid to develop your powers over the years, don’t-”
Bobby snaps, “Stop playing games with me, Frost!” Bobby grabs her wrist. “I want to know how you did what you did!”
“Or what?!” Emma asks, “You’re going to hurt me? Don't… push me.” She steps in close. “You’re a fool, Drake. I like that in a man.” End ID]
It’s all right, dear heart, you’re safe now.
[id: two edits of Mystique and Destiny from Marvel. Mystique looks as she normally does and Irene is wearing a blue jacket over a purple shirt and white glasses. 1: Mystique is standing next to Destiny and looking down at her with concern, she holds a hand out infront of chest. Destiny is holding a hand by her forehead and she looks pained. The background is light purple. 2: Mystique is holding onto Destiny and supporting her, Destiny is also holding onto a railing. The background is light green. /end ID]
X-Men: Before the Fall: Mutant First Strike #1 (2023)
written by Steve Orlando art by Valentina Pinti & Frank William
[Image ID: Iceman, wearing a black X-Men uniform with an open white jacket overlaid with a large X. In the background is a frozen geyser with trapped boulders inside it. Bobby, surrounded by dogs, is reaching to pet one as he says telepathically, “This is Iceman– I’ve got the reservoir frozen shut. The rebuilders can come through. Also, I’ve made many new friends– they say I’m cool. I won’t argue.” End ID]
