Several characters on The Avengers would be a healthy match for her. Some (Thor, Valkyrie) are right up her alley.

"Hellbound" did take her off the playing field, but it gave Illyana yet another mini! It was also a pretty darn good story.

There was a story where Illyana did fight Pheonix and won. Of course, Rachel was injured at the time and had no trouble with the rematch at full stregnth, though that somehow didn't involve fighting. If I remember it correctly Rachel had no odea why she won.

What a wonderful first post! Many if not most of us agree, Darkchild. You need to find yourself a wonderful avatar.

We've been saying this for a while.

My personal preference is her original white and black graduation outfit with a darker mask.

I can see them at the link but I only saw red Xs here on the thread. That costume looks nice but Id go for something with a bit less red so its not overwhelming

I thought her HoM costume was amazing. Since no one else is using it, Id approve her taking on this design. Im not sure if the red would work in place of the white, so it might be best to just leave the color scheme as is. They could throw an X emblem on there somewhere and it would be perfect

kinda complaining but duh it just seems they were bored to make her a new costume
but it can be kinda excused since she was a prisoner and maybe she didn't have time to make a new one~
i will!

uuh yeah i love this one and i agree on the mask
i didn't really like the ones the whole team used after The Fall of The Mutants
their graduations costumes were much better

also i'd like to say that i don't like how she was drawn in the first issue of Uncanny X-Men vol 2 http://tinyurl.com/csnz98e
she looks so tall and so thin (looooong in general)
i prefer her this way tbh

Very nice work, Darkchild!

I would love an outfit with some mystic touches. She rocks skirts like no other.

Has anyone asked Kieron Gillen on formspring or twitter why she hasn't gotten a new outfit?

I also doubt she cares about fashion very much in her current state.
