I'd say floppy fringes in general should be avoided. Unless you're...
Nope, can't think of an anything.

I thought "Metallica tribute beard" the moment I saw it.
Really, it's not terrible, you just need a beard trimmer to make it even. They're only like twenty bucks....
YOu kind of look like you should be serving drinks at the Hellfire Club.

Almost the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me, Jason. And it's funny you shoud say that, as the illusion Jason Wyngarde during the Dark Phoenix Saga was my original exposure to the style. And I have been to New ork's Hellfire Club. Wasn't serving drinks, though...

Sad that they lobotomized Wyngarde/Mastermind in the last X-Men movie. They even went so far as to keep his mis-matched eye color though...stupid they called him "Stryker" (what a bullshit name).

No, not a supergero name: "Stryker" was the guy's last name in the movie (his dad is the movie's main bad guy that gave Wolverine his claws/skeeleton).

Oh well that's one hundred percent different as I cannot think of any bizarre and/or implausable X-Men surnames. (Though, to be fair, all the ones that spring to mind are, like, Spider-Man characters or something.)

Accept that to make the movies, they're going to have to mush all of the X-Men fluff together. In the comics, the Canadian government was the entity that gave Wolvie his Adamantium, and the process was created by the father of Lady Deathstryke. William Stryker was a former Army officer who became an anti-mutant born-again type after his irradiated sperm caused his son to be a mutant. He was rushing his pregnant wife to hospital, they crashed, she gave birth to "a monster". He killed it, and his wife for giving birth to such a thing, and started preaching to the masses.
Rogue was a nameless orphan taken in by Mystique down in the Louisiana bayous and trained to be a super-villain.
And they didn't even bother to at least have the five original X-Men be the team in the first one. *shrug*
I love them as movie adaptations, though.

P.S. THey should have gotten Iman to play Storm. And with all their other attention to detail, they should have gotten her eyes right.

Y'know, it's weird. I've always liked the X-Men, although I was far from being a devoted follower of the comcs. And I liked both films, and am looking forward to the next one (although Christ knows how I'll get to see it, having only been to the cinema once in the past year and a half and thus missed Batman Begins, V For Vendetta, God knows what else).
But I can't keep track of the characters. Especially remembering which ones have been in the films to date, and how their backstories therein compare to the original comics predeccessors. I try, but my eyes just glaze over. I need a chart. Something that tells me nickname, real name, what they look like in film and comic, backstory in film and comic. . . One day I'll put something together, or at least successfully Google something.

Taking your hairstyle cues from Marvel comics' characters is a risky affair.

I STILL think Rom, Spaceknight was one of the best characters Marvel did. A shame marketing issues killed it...and virtually everything else associated with the character. Though I have heard some rumors that someone is attempting to do a movie deal.

Rom was actually extremely well done for it's day: a LOT of supporting charcters died horribly at the hands of the Dire Wraiths (shape-shifting alien badies that vamp all your knowledge while siphoning out your brain via a tounge probiscus thingie).
He'd need a serious update if a movie/TV movie were to fly.
Did you draw that? Your anatomy is a bit off...
I've been re-discovering my alltime favorite sci-fi comic: Alien Legion. Man, the TPB of the second series are amazing- lots on nopn-humanoid aliens and cool spaceships like nothing seen before (or since). Jugger Grimrod is my personal role model in all things.
