Tangerine Appreciation

[Electric Version]

Tangerine was in an Excalibur storyline set in the Days Of Future Past timeline. Issues 66 and 67. She had a great look. A big orange 'fro and green John Lennon glasses.

A telepath capable of scanning emotions, sensing enemies approaching, psychometry, and generating bio-electrical blasts to fry someone's mind psionically. It appears she lacked defensive powers, relying on her allies to protect her in battle. She survived the battle in the Hive.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a pic that showed her kickass bell bottoms and I don't have a scanner. Sad face!

Why in the hell did Leonard Kirk turn her into a gothy teen with bad shoes? Where's the "tangerine"??

Love me some Tangerine.

Leonard Kirk is truly unimaginative. Between this and the Purgatory mutants I'm really underwhelmed.

**** me, this gets worse.

Doc Martens suck.

[MuhollandDriver]

i heart valve Tangerine.

To think she doesn't have a proper wikipedia entry.

[jeansbff]

Leonard kirks dark x-men outfits were also really horrible too. Mystiques especially.

Tangerine <3<3<3 Go the fro!

I see she's been reading The Outsiders and getting fashion tips from Vampire Looker.

[Nevets F]

yay Tangerine!

Yay for Cornell using her in 616 continuity, but Leonard Kirk's design, much like his entire run on the book, was terrible. One of the main reasons I couldn't get into MI-13 was because of the artwork.

Sorry to rain on tangerines parade... :L

[MuhollandDriver]

Wait...she does have a wikipedia entry....it is a bit obscure and hard to find, however!

Stop hijacking this thread with your red head fetish. Take that crap to the Jean Grey thread.

I never meant any harm. Sorry. We can go back to talking about the main red head in this thread now.

**ck Tangerine, more of Looker, please.

[jeansbff]

**ck Tangerine, more of Looker, please.

Is there a looker appreciation thread on the dc boards?

[Electric Version]

**ck Tangerine, more of Looker, please.

You don't get any of Tangerine's tangerines.

[MartinRedmond]

I thought there was already such a thread? Anywayz, getting rid of her fro is counter productive come on, she's named Tangerine and has ORANGE NOT RED hair in the shape of a tangerine. How hard is she to get?

Oh and I thought she was a Marvel UK character all this time. I didn't know she was exclusive to those 2 Excalibur issues.

[Thirteen]

Credit/Blame where it is due....
Leonard Kirk is picking up the re-design of Tangerine by Casey Jones for the Warren Ellis penned Excalibur alternate future where Tang was a member of Pete Wisdom's X-Team.

Tangerine should be like 13-14 in 616, she was still a teenager in DOFYTC/T even. I adore Cornell, but he blew it, we should've had psychic schoolgirl Tange in MI13. :/

[The Sword Is Drawn]

No fro?! Not canon!

Technically that's the only glimpse of Tangerine from actual Marvel continuity. The other two were from alternate futures.

Technically he's just drawing the Casey Jones version of Tangerine from Days of Future Tense, in Warren Ellis' run on Excalibur. Only, here she's wearing a space suit. Because, you know, she's on the moon. Probably for the best.

For the unacquainted to the true awesomeness of Tangerine, here's a brief catch-up:

Who the hell is Tangerine? (http://itcamefromdarkmoor.blogspot.com/2008/02/who-hell-is-tangerine.html)

[jarrod]

Tangerine should be on Rogue's squad. Hope can diaf.

Pepper Ann meets the Matrix, and I love it.

Unlaced boots make for great moonwear?

Apparently so. :cool:

Tangerine is a trendsetter.

Easy fix, you can't really tell what age she's supposed to be in MI-13. So in her next appearance she can be 14 years old and wearing a British private school uniform with shorter orange hair.

Surge, being the twat she is, shocks her and suddenly the static makes Tangerine's hair pop out into her natural fro.

And then she psychically smacks Surge for messing with hours of careful straightening.

She looks like she just stepped out of a Hot Topic.

Should her private school girl uniform include a tie and a pleated skirt?

[jarrod]

Should her private school girl uniform include a tie and a pleated skirt?
Only if she wants to be Warren's new girlfriend. I think it'd work if she kept the fro though.

[The Sword Is Drawn]

Ouch! Nobody should be fodder for Warren. Let him and Betsy have another crack! (Pun probably intended. That costume does hug a little down there...).
