Babealicious: The X-men’s Psylocke as the quintessential 90’s hot heroine-big chest, small waist, long legs, thong, lingerie model pose.

The Hype Starts Here: Wizard Magazine fanned the flames of the collectibles speculator market by predicting the “next big thing” titles, like The Death of Superman or Dark Knight Returns.

The Beautiful People: Supermodels became celebrities in the early 90’s, an era when artifice would be everything. The women of the X-Men followed in the supermodels footsteps by sporting perfect bodies and cover girl faces.

Big Business: By the 90’s, the X-Men had become a franchise of several titles that featured mutant heroes sporting huge shoulder pads, ammo belts, and big guns. Collectable features like multiple variant covers, holograms, trading cards, and action figures kept the fans coming back for more.
