Based on that image,
which one is Cyclops? Which one is Colossus?

I'll play! The one-eyed guy. The big guy.

The others...? Um, the guy with the pipe is Uncle Jim - my uncle Jim smoked a pipe just like that one...the short guy is Chippy McGrumpy (he looks grumpy)...the woman is Wigmaster(mistress?) because that is SO obviously a wig...and the blue guy is The Blue Devil.

Do I get a no-prize? :P

The white-haired woman is obviously Banshee* and the guy with the pipe has material between his arms and torso so I'm guessing he's The Flying Squirrel! 

*seriously.....how did Banshee end up being a male character?

Good point.  Banshee: (in Irish folklore) a spirit in the form of a wailing woman who appears to or is heard by members of a family as a sign that one of them is about to die.

And the big fat dew worm character is obviously "Nightcrawler".

Hi.  Found another JB relic from the archives and wanted to share.  Another collectible from my X-Men phase.

••

Same way "Isis", name of the occasionally cow-headed goddess of fertility,
becomes associated with puddy-tats. Somebody didn't do their homework!

I am looking for clarification: should I have posted my JB original art here or on New Art?

Not to mention the words ban si literally mean "woman fairy."

Not that Syrin would have been any better a code name for Mr. Cassidy.

Have to comment on Man-Thing. I don't think I've ever seen that character drawn with such detail.

My, that's a thing of beauty. Is that a botton that he drew on? If so, that's a creative way of making her the edges define the shape of her hair.

That Comic Reader cover is cool, Brock! I like that look for the X-Men, too.
