Good idea for a custom. Nice job.

Thank Fellow arkers, I always wanted a powered down Ice Man.
@ Lord Marvel no doubt my man let me see if I can find extra heads and bodies and I got you.

Jason Abbadon · 03-17-2012, 09:32 PM

What head is that? You did a really nice hob there- really look "right"- if you saw him in a group of X-Men you'd know it was Iceman right away.

Poor Bobby- writers have done so little development with his social life that a mob of online fans are certain he's gay and in the closet...and that everyone on the X-Men knows but just goes along with it, cause Bobby's such a great guy.

I can really see that, frankly.

Wow, what have I missed over the years??

Good custom, even though it reminds me a lot of Johnny Storm or Reed, I still like it a lot!!!

He's not gay, just generally ignored by writers. I think it's because he was made too powerfully (at least potentially) early on. His power, especially if fully realized, solves a lot of problems real fast. Instead they just don't have him around much when he could be useful or have him creating drinking water for Utopia. It saddens me how many writers never let him get past the reckless slacker who can't be bothered to do anything.

Also, powered down Iceman is great idea.

Agreed. Considering he's an Alpha level mutant and an elemental, they never really tap into his true potential. He can be water, ice, gas, whatever else...reform, all that. Emma and AoA showed what he is most capable of. Just my opinion.

Also, would like to see an X-Factor / 90's X-Men costume. Light blue with white X, like the current clear version.

It is a fine line for writing super hero stories I guess. It happened to 'Heroes' pretty fast. Peter and Hiro quickly because an easy solution to any problems that could arise. The only solution is to write them out of the stories, limit or take away their powers, or just make them not care enough to use them or learn to control them.

LORD MARVEL · 03-17-2012, 10:59 PM

i never got to watch past season 3 and on and have been catching up in the last month or 2 on Netflix. 5 More episodes to finish the series. Even towards then end still I didn't think it was horrible. Still one of my favorite shows.

I tend to find most of what I need here down south. I'd hit up some stores in the small towns on the way down here though.

I believe the Chinese Goverment has redirected all its factory workers to building that " Dam " in the mountain district of China to make those " Spaceships ", I guess Woody and John were correct.

Very true and it's further proof of my idea that the best way to develop the X-Men is to swap them into the Avengers- and vice versa.

Storm joining the Avengers was a brilliant idea that's getting cut short for that assinine upcoming crossover.

Bobby and Thor would make a great team- Thor could channel lightebning through him or whip up a storm of water for Bobby to go all frost giant....hell, put Bobby on Secret Avengers- his power easily lends itself to stealth ops.

And lets face it- Bobby's much more "Avenger" than "X-Man" these days as far as his personality goes.

Bobby's also one of the only X-Men with a degree- he's got his CPA liscence.
Alpha Mutant and he can do your taxes? Cap better sign him up!

Regarding that Ms. Marvel costume- it may not be a coincience that it resembles Marvelman's outfit- which Marvel now own the rights to.

It also looks like Frank Quitely's art- he did All Star Superman and Batman and Robin which got rave reviews and rabid fans...and which I absolutely loathe.

The top image of Carol looks okay, but the lower pic looks awful- her face looks so mannish!
