As a lifelong comic book enthusiast and X-Men devotee, I must say that the recent AI-generated beach photoshoot for Marvel’s mutant superteam has left me both amused and slightly bewildered. On one hand, it’s an intriguing peek into what might have been if the MCU had taken a more daring approach to these iconic characters’ costumes. On the other, it’s a bit like stumbling upon your favorite childhood heroes in a somewhat unexpected light – akin to discovering Professor Xavier sunbathing with sunglasses and a surfboard!
In the Marvel universe, creators have occasionally pushed boundaries, revealing iconic characters in minimal clothing that sometimes borders on suggestive. These instances were playful nods to readers and led to costumes that caused controversy. However, thanks to the suggestions of AI enthusiast @GrantMakesStuff on Instagram, some of these controversial outfits are now being brought to life for the X-Men. The outcome is swimwear that comic book fans might find particularly appealing, coming close to explicit content in certain instances.
Although this AI-created video may have a glossy, trippy effect that’s common for such videos, it won’t stop you from enjoying the dynamic moves of Xavier’s superteam under the sun. Moreover, the slow-motion shots of male characters in the X-Men series moving their bodies with emphasis shouldn’t escape your attention either; after all, they have been quite noticeable.
Apart from Scott Summers, who is known for more than just stylish sunglasses and carrying an unusual accessory to the beach, there are also characters like Emma Frost, Rogue, Angel, and Beach soaking up the sun. Remy LeBeau, better known as Gambit, stands out with his frisbee, which could lead to a fiery day at the seashore if he’s not cautious due to his unique powers. However, some renowned X-Men characters might have been wise to avoid a beach day altogether.
Not all X-Men are ready for a beach photoshoot
Despite ongoing efforts to perfect artificial intelligence, some characters in Instagram posts appear slightly distorted. For instance, Juggernaut resembles a large beef jerky hybrid with a helmet rather than the armored titan X-Men fans typically recognize. Similarly, what seems to be Quicksilver is portrayed as a half hawk figure, lacking the usual strength.
Indeed, special recognition goes out to crucial figures such as Charles Xavier, Magneto, Rogue, and Jubilee, who each embodied their respective roles perfectly and mirrored the iconic appearances of ’80s and ’90s X-Men comic book enthusiasts might remember. However, it must be noted that the firework-hurling mutant’s displays appear less than impressive during daylight hours. With regards to the second season of “X-Men ’97”, it may be worth considering these boldly revealing characters should the X-Men ever reunite and find themselves with some leisure time at the beach. Although new costumes might be on the horizon for “X-Men ’97” Season 2, these beach-friendly outfits could prove to be more appealing choices in this scenario.
