Jones ' iteration came close to delivering a comic - precise design forEmma Frost , a.k.a . the White Queen , but still break down to deliver the full reach of Frost ’s abilities .

Her African roots barrack many of her costume option in the comics , which is something that Marvel Studios can really lean into , particularly sinceWakanda and the Black Pantherare already well - instal in the MCU .

Anna Paquin ’s Rogue never got the chance to beseem up as anofficial appendage of the X - Menin Fox ’s X - Men Universe , which think of that her iconic gullible - and - white-livered outfit was never seen on - CRT screen . Marvel Studios should make a conscious effort to make Rogue an active member of the team in the MCU , rather than the frankly useless adaptation depicted by Fox . Rogue ’s white hair inX - Menwas also revealed to be a product of Magneto ’s actions , but in Marvel Comics , her white hair is said to be either of course - take place or dye for aesthetic purposes , which , while perhaps less glamourous , make more sense for the convinced and exuberant quality in live - action .

Visual Effects Have Come A Long Way Since The 2000s
Bobby Drake ’s Iceman only showed off the full extent of his power on two occasion in Fox ’s ten - Men Universe , once inThe Last Stand , and again while battling Sentinels inDays of Future Past .

Famke Janssen and Sophie Turner both portrayed the mutant telepath , and both embarked on an adaption of Marvel Comics ' benchmarkDark Phoenix Saga , but neither wield to display the full enduringness , elegance and barbarism of the Phoenix . Marvel Studios will probably channelize clear of theDark Phoenix Sagafor now , butJean Grey ’s MCU debutshould nevertheless show off her ability more clearly , and with more style , than Fox ever managed to .
