The women of X by the master, George Perez. I love Perez's distinctive faces to much, he never resorted to just giving characters generic features. I think I can detect a little Andy Kubert influence in Rogue's face and a LOT of Jim Lee in Psylocke's...

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting?
