X-Men Uniforms

The X-Men Uniforms are special uniforms created for and utilized by the X-Men team. These uniforms are created from a special material created specifically for the uniforms. They are specially designed to provide protection, comfort, and hiding the X-Gene of its wearer.

First Generation
The original X-Men uniforms were basically just custom-made flight suits that members of the X-Men would wear to protect them when flying in the earliest iterations of the Blackbird jet. They were originally designed by Hank McCoy and were slightly improved upon by '''Forge. '''

These uniforms had few special or advanced properties aside from basic protection. They were used by the earliest iterations of the X-Men, when they started in 2000.

Second Generation
The uniforms were updated when the X-Men settled in the Xavier Manor in 2003. The material was designed in a joint venture between McCoy and Forge and the new uniforms were used exclusively by the original X-Men.

When the X-Men were revived in 2018, the team were supplied with Second Generation uniforms when they began operating.

Description
Focusing on the second generation uniforms, these are made from a special material that Beast calls "McCoynium". It is a synthetic material designed by Hank McCoy and Forge, woven with nanosensors. It is tougher than kevlar and light as spandex. It is skintight, in order to shield the wearer's X-Gene (see below) and allow full range of motion.

Both the first and second generation designs of the X-Men uniforms are exclusively black and yellow.

Masks and slight alterations can be added to each individual suit, including short sleeves, like Iceman or Cannonball or even no sleeves, like Colossus. Masks are also optional.

Function
The uniform provides several major functions beyond simply protection and range of movement. The material was designed, as its original purpose, to hide the radiation signature of the x-gene, thus rendering those wearing them invisible to '''SentinelTech. '''

Another function is that each individual uniform is designed for specific individuals. This allows for not only greater comfort, but it also allows them to adapt to the specific powers of the wearer. So, for example, Colossus' uniform will grow and shrink with him when he turns from regular to organic steel form.

The nanosensors also allow for remote tracking of vitals and position.

Users
The X-Men uniforms are used exclusively by full members of the X-Men. Neither these uniforms, or the material they are made from, are used by any other organization.
