Is the girl in the white bathing suit meant to be native American? And on the heels of that, do folks like Forge still get colored like a white person who fell asleep in the sun, or did they finally figure out that's kind of hosed up?

Have you read comics before? That doesn't even score a .001 on the weird scale. We have X-Men of two different periods living together and interacting all the time.

Yeah, but one's a baby, that makes it weirder for me. Rachel Summers would be a lot weirder if when she was introduced Scott Summers had a baby named Rachel.

The context for that panel is that they're chasing two miscreants around the globe. They land in Rio, Robert's hometown. He volunteers to go get disguises for them because they're in their school uniforms. Those are the disguises.

*searches the "dr. nemesis" tag on Tumblr* *cracks knuckles, opens up Notepad* hell yeah, I got this davidspackage posted:Is the girl in the white bathing suit meant to be native American? And on the heels of that, do folks like Forge still get colored like a white person who fell asleep in the sun, or did they finally figure out that's kind of hosed up? The coloring of skin tones used to be pretty weird and I really have no idea what the motivation for it was; if you read contemporary letter columns, it's clear Marvel was trying to be inclusive, non-stereotypical, and so forth, but on the other hand, you had Shang-Chi almost as unnaturally bronze as Doc Samson in the very same panel with Asians who'd been colored more realistically, and then there was that weird thing where anyone of Arab extraction was gray (?!). e.g. Asp (Captain America #311, 1985)

Black people were sometimes gray as well. I'm reading through old Strange Tales, and Gabriel Jones of SHIELD could be a good stand-in for Tombstone with that skin colour.

To be fair, given the way comics are (or used to be) printed, if the red is a little bit out of alignment, your art becomes super racist real fast. Not that that's an excuse for a lot of the coloring, but it can bite a colorist who is actually trying in the rear end.

About the skin colour stuff - there's some pretty interesting material around history of the colour palette available to artists in pre-digital eras I can't find the historical account that I'm thinking of, but this blog post shows some of the different colour palettes that were possible: http://www.co2comics.com/blog/2010/09/28/the-comic-companytrue-colors-part-3/ From what I remember, Marvel and DC further chose house subsets of those colours as a cost-saving measure.. if anyone has a more detailed history I'd love to read it

Also that's not really grey, it's a too-desaturated brown. I can't imagine they had a lot of options for print back then. But you can tell they're trying.

 Jim Starlin, Steve Englehart, and Al Milgrom as a trio of junkie muggers getting walloped by Shang-Chi in Master of Kung-Fu #17 (1974). I've always been a sucker for these little creator cameos.

Shang-Chi varied from Caucasian pink to school bus orange over the course of his series. It's kind of funny to read the old issues because there was a letterhack named William Ha who constantly showed up in the letter columns complaining about Shang-Chi's skin tone, and the editors were always like, "we know, we know, we're trying, honest."
