Inspiration
What can I say; I’m a Marvel girl. Wait, not Marvel Girl. Actually…. yes, I am. But I meant I grew up reading Marvel comics. When I was younger I was obsessed with Rogue and her misfit personality. I think any teen can identify with her and her not fitting in. As I get older, I look back on Jean and can admire her alpha-ness… though I really can’t identify with it. I can identify with secretly liking Wolverine, though. >_>

Construction
I used Kwik-sew pattern #3052 for the bodysuit. I added a hood that I attached the facial armor to. It is made out of a thin flexible plastic that I got at a scrap store, which I also used on the shoulder pauldrons. I would have ideally liked to use a more golden spandex, but there are pictures of her with both gold and yellow bodysuits. I already had the yellow spandex and vinyl in my closet, so frugality made the color decision for me.
