I chose this version of Jean Grey because I had never really seen anyone do it before. On the Marvel stage at New York Comic Con, even Yaya Han said she'd never seen this version before, but I watched the crap out of this cartoon as a kid, so it was really close to my heart.

I made this cosplay as a last minute project for NYCC the first year I was in NYC. It was my first spandex project, and I was terrified of screwing it up or cutting it wrong, but the fit came out perfect. So perfect, it's damn near impossible to put on and take off XD
