Super Hero - Fashionable Technology

Rogue of the X-Men. Absorbs all power, strength and memories of anyone she touches.

I was a huge X-Men fan when I was a kid, probably because they had the coolest X-women and the. 90s cartoon on repeat. Two of my favorites were Rogue and, even though she was hugely annoying, Jubilee. Both channeled power in different forms.

I didn't realize it as a child fanlady but most of the female characters in X-Men channeled natural and super natural phenomena. None that I know of were given pure brute strength except for Rogue and her only because she absorbed power uncontrollably. This led me to think of the most physically powerful and superhero-esque person I know of, who is real: Aimee Mullins.

Two of my favorite artists, Matthew Barney and Alexander McQueen, have been inspired by and worked with Aimee.

Mutant Designing

Some initial sketches I made in class, mostly with very silly more than serious results. The bottom right idea is my favorite. Madame Flea has powerful lower body mutation that allows her to jump up to 80x her own height.

Chicken Girl has a crazy head waddle that also intercepts any radio frequency and serves as a broadcaster.

Sweater Woman channels electricity and radiation and can control the surface to transform like an animated knitted play-doh.
