Polaris Returns to Her Original X-Factor Costume in 90s Throwback X-Men Cosplay

Summary Polaris' classic 90s X-Factor costume makes a comeback in Sara Moni's stunning cosplay, paying homage to the character's team integration moment.

Moni's attention to detail includes Polaris' iconic headpiece, blue gloves, and boots, capturing the essence of the X-Factor era design.

While the cosplay focuses on Lorna's original yellow-and-blue costume, fans are curious if Moni will explore Polaris' alternative red and gold X-Factor suit.

X-Men’s Polaris not only inherited her father's magnetism-based superpowers but also shares Magneto's penchant for dramatic costume designs. From emerald green ensembles to flashy red and gold outfits, Lorna boasts a wide-ranging fashion history. Now, one talented fan has decided to revive one of her most classic looks with an epic cosplay featuring Polaris’ original X-Factor costume from the 90s.

Moni’s decision to feature this particular costume pays homage to the character-defining moment of Polaris joining the X-Factor.

Cosplayer Sara Moni has taken to Instagram to showcase her stunning Polaris cosplay, which pays homage to Lorna’s original X-Factor costume. Mirroring the portrayal in the comics, Moni dons a high-necked, sleeveless suit in yellow and blue.

She also sports Polaris’ iconic headpiece, which, despite evolving in color and shape across different renditions of the character, remains a constant in her ensemble. However, like the rest of the outfit, this headpiece adheres to the design of Polaris’ X-Factor attire, boasting a sleek and subtle appearance washed in a shade of blue. Completing the look, Moni includes blue gloves and boots.

X-Factor‘s Polaris Returns to Her ICONIC Yellow-and-Blue Costume in 90s Throwback Cosplay

The costume showcased in Moni's cosplay originates from Lorna’s membership in the government-sanctioned X-Factor team, led by Havok, which formed after the events of the Muir Island Saga. This attire marked a significant departure from Polaris’ more unique fashion choices, as she embraced the classic blue and yellow colors associated with the X-Men. The uniform represented more than just a change in fashion; it symbolized Lorna's integration into something larger than herself—a team. Therefore, Moni’s decision to feature this particular costume pays homage to the character-defining moment of Polaris joining the X-Factor.

While Moni's cosplay represents Polaris’ original X-Factor attire, it’s important to note that this isn’t Lorna’s only X-Factor suit from the 90s. Polaris' other costume consisted of a combination of red and gold hues, and although it marked a positive change in her confidence level, it was generally disliked by fans due to its overly flashy colors and elaborate design. Fortunately, this particular X-Factor costume design only endured for a few issues, much to the relief of many fans. It will be intriguing to follow Moni’s cosplay journey and see if she ever decides to reimagine this specific X-Factor costume.

Polaris Has a Multitude of Wildly Different Costumes That Are Perfect Cosplay Inspiration

Despite not being the most well-known mutant among the X-Men, Polaris has undergone her fair share of costume redesigns, making her an excellent source of cosplay inspiration. One of Lorna’s most recent costume designs pays homage to Magneto, featuring the core elements of his classic costume: a full-body, skin-tight suit, a dramatic cape, and, of course, the iconic helmet. However, instead of the purple and red hues typically associated with Magneto, Lorna’s costume is in her signature green. Polaris’ Magneto-inspired costume offers ideal cosplay inspiration, and one hopes Moni will consider it for her next X-Men cosplay
