MAGNETO by Chris Skinner

“I wanted to portray Magneto with a sense of history and religion to emphasize, “The Four Horsemen” aspect.  I’ve depicted Magneto using his power to control and form the metal debris to suit his purpose.”

Needle

PSYLOCKE by Matt Needle

“I’ve included a couple of Easter Eggs, including Psylocke’s butterfly aura, an element from the comics where Psylocke has a butterfly aura emanating from her eyes when powering up.”

Cyclops by Doaly

“I’m really looking forward to watching a younger Cyclops discover the ability of his powers as he becomes one of the leaders.  People may notice the hints of lightening in the piece – this nods at his fight with Storm in the film.”
