Actually his costume owns.
It's distinctive, has a simple enough design that you can alter the details without changing the essential costume, and the 'cape' offers a lot of scope for drawing it to dramatically highlight anything about Sinister's character from his creepiness, power, shadowy nature, or simply filling up a panel to make him seem a larger presence than he would otherwise. You can strip a lot of details away from Sinister, but the cape is such a good artistic tool for visually conveying Sinister as something more than a boob in a bodysuit that it's no wonder artists don't stray far from it.

Also, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qd6vRG9aWE&t=4m55s

And this goober is exactly why Marvel will never ever change it. Sinister's costume is seared in the minds of 90s manchildren because as a stand-alone design it does work, but it has no loving business on a hybrid of Victorian and Nazi science-gone-bad. Oh if only I had said as much in my original post... if only... what a world that would have been...

Yeah, I hadn't picked up on that until you and Cassa mentioned it, but you're right and I love it.





Nextwave: Agents of Hate #6. The series divides opinion here, but I'm posting funny panels, and if people don't like it, I don't care, post funny panels in response. Too much kvetching in the image threads on what is funny or badass.

I'm an 80s manchild, thank you very much.


e: it's ironic you complain about 90s manchildren since that's when all the Victorian sciencemans stuff was bolted on to him. Your complaint is exactly backward - his retroactive backstory doesn't match his costume.

Hey, no complaints here. I'm pretty sure most archvillians internalize those sorts of monologues all the time.

I think there might actually be another Nextwave scene that's even closer to the Hill scene posted. Dirk Anger had a lot of good rants.

That's Baron Zemo Sr

Baron Zemo Jr fell into a vat of boiling, specially-treated Adhesive X during his first appearance as the villain Phoenix in Captain America #168, during the Secret Empire storyline.

Tons of stuff happened to him because of Thunderbolts though, so that might have been changed.
