I'd have to go with Wolverine & the X-Men as she still wears that in the current X books when teaming with Cyclops or Kid Cable, I'd also take her Prestige look I liked it even though it was short lived, but could bring it back if she ever teams up with her non-mutant heroes when saving the world that hates her. X-Factor I'd also take for a HoX/DoX/RoX display which that part of the universe keeps growing with all the mutants they use in those books

Excalibur all the way, that's my favorite look for Rachel and the classic one in my eyes.

I do however like her look as Prestige and Wolverine and X-Men look as well , in fact I dig all of rachel's looks except for x-factor, I wouldn't be mad if we got any of those but, Excalibur is my preference!,

Starjammers.  It'll fit nice with a cosmic display for the War of Kings era.  But a re-do on the Marvel Girl costume would be fine too.  Wouldn't mind the Prestige costume except that it brings back memories of X-Men Gold...

"Wolverine and the X-Men" is her best costume, and the one I want the most, so I voted for it, but there's no denying "Excalibur" is her classic look, and is probably the only other look on this list I also want. There's also a missing look from the list that I really like that was from when she was reconnecting with her houndyness in X-Men Gold, but it basically split the difference between "Excalibur" and "Prestige".

You thought X-Men Gold was that bad? I definitely think it failed spectacularly at its objective of calling back to the Claremont days, and it certainly didn't blow me away, but I thought it was fine. Definitely a little too much Mesmero for my liking, and I wasn't really buying Lydia Nance, but it was all still entertaining enough.

To me it felt too much like Prestige to be a really new costume,

I liked it until near the end, right around the wedding issue, it was much better than what Lemire had put out before it and I liked the core team of X-Men.  But, I felt overall that it painted Colossus in a pretty bad light throughout the run, which I could live with mostly until they pulled that bait and switch at the wedding.  And while Gambit and Rogue are certainly high on my list of favorites too, I don't want to see character development for them at the expense of Colossus.

That's all fair. Yeah, I wanted to like that Lemire run so much more than I did. He's just not great with team books. Old Man Logan was a lot better (though I only read the first few trades, and still need to catch up; actually, didn't he get fired from that book at some point, with someone else taking over?). In any event, Colossus's characterization has been prett inconsistent ever since AvX, which is a huge bummer.

This is a tough call. Rachel is one of those characters that's always at the precipice of being taken to the next step but never quite makes it. She is a longstanding character however, so a writer will pick her up, build her up a bit and then the next writer will more or less abandon her or relegate her to a smaller role. Much is the case as her recent run as Prestige on the X-men. I was quite enjoying her resurgence as a major powerhouse in the books and suddenly (and again) she gets sluffed off into X-Men's soon to be cancelled redhead stepsister team and she's just an afterthought again. If I was being honest, the only significant time she was handled properly and seriously as a character would have to be with the Claremont/JR,jr run of X-Men and Claremont/Davis run of Excalibur. Basically, Claremont is one of the few who did her right. That being said, her look from the 80's Uncanny X-Men and 90's Excalibur is the longest standing look I can remember, thus cementing that costume, in my mind, as her "Classic" look. Again, I do like her first Prestige costume, so I wouldn't mind that one and a redo of the surprisingly well done Marvel Girl from the Dark Days of ML would be my third choice, as it is quite undersized and limited in articulation by today's ML standards.

That's good to hear, I haven't read much of Lemire's stuff from Marvel in recent years that I liked, I may have to check out his time on Old Man Logan.  I don't remember why he left the title, but I do think I remember something like that.  

Maybe one day they'll give Colossus a fair shake again.

@leokearon "Phoenix 1" isn't showing up for me.

I just want an official ML of this (thanks google!)

You and I both, though I have no love for that knobby knee, chicken leg Kate Bishop buck. I'd much rather see it on the Dark Phoenix buck from the Cyclops/Phoenix 2 pack which has a little more meat on the thighs.

I also can't get the Phoenix 1 pic to show but I believe this is the one. Quite simplistic, yet still cool, but ultimately way to obscure to generate any kind of serious interest.

The Uncanny books that I've read had this costume so this would be my second option tbh. I already have the "Marvel Girl" Rachel "Grey" look from the Brood Queen wave.

Oh for sure. My Snowbird is now doing the splits on my IKEA Detolf glass case on account of her legs being so weak, the feet are literally sliding apart.
