    Default Northstar's new look in AoA

    What is up with the new AoA Northstar look ? It's bad enough he got killed three times in the same month. Bald, tatooed head, grey skin... I think he's going to the same stylist as Wild Child! There's no explanation why AoA Aurora is unchanged or why his eyes switch colors from blue to red at will. I like their new costumes, though. I also notice the smokey flames that trail Northstar's flight in some of the panels. That fire thing could get messy, or be an awesome flaming weapon in battle.

    Oh well, we won't have 'ol AoA Jean-BALD Beaubier to knock around anymore anyway.

    Love,
    rplass

    Well, my understanding is that any character that looks vastly altered was experimented on by Sinister, perhaps JP was too. I don't mine the look, I'm a fan of tattoos

    I thought it was Mr. Sinister at first. As for Wolvie question, I've got the answer in my head so fast, I wonder why Wolvie said it... He should know better than to ask that to JP

    What a stupid Question

    Wow I really didn't think about the whole "flaming" thing when I posted that... I assure you it was fully unintentional and was in no way a reference to JP's sexual orientation .

    In response to kozzi24, there are some panels where JP's eyes are colored blue. Possibilities are: he can change his eye color at will, it was a coloring error, or his eyes were shown red to express moments of extreme rage .

    Love,

    I don't think anyone took offense. I have too much of a sense of humor and not enough tact to avoid kicking at that door you left ajar.

    You keep posting about him because Northstar is the man!

    Wolverine 25 26 (Northstar in both)
    Xmen 164 (Northstar)
    Xmen The End Bk1 6 (Northstar)
    Xmen The End Bk2 1 (Northstar)
    Xmen:AoA 2 (Northstar, Aurora)
    Xmen AoA os (Wild Child)
    New Mutants:X 10 (Northstar)
    OHOTMU: AoA (Wild Child)
    Sabretooth 4 (Sasquatch)

    So Northstar is winning with 7 appearances through April 2005.
    That's why you are posting about him. He's the man!

    Love,

    I've been out of the loop for awhile. Could someone tell me how Northstar could die multiple times in one month. (Man! Maybe the Alpha characters are cursed!)

    No, just horribly immortal.

    One death (Wolverine vol.2 #25) was in the 616 continuity, the regular Marvel world. Another death was in the Age of Apocalypse (X-Men: Age of Apocalypse #2) continuity, and the third was in X-Men The End: Book 2 #2, which is in an alternate future continuity.

    So he didn't actually die, get resurrected, die, get resurrected, die. Although give Marvel a chance...

    For details on some of what's going on in 2005, go to this page on my new website:
    http://www.geocities.com/rplass/afcollector/alpha.htm and use the "Find" function on your browser for "2005" and these issues ought to pop up.
