That last one leads me to a question: what is the most covered-up costume for a superheroine?

Edit: even more covered-up than Gwen there

I'm not sure how you get more covered up than completely covered up like Spider-Gwen. If you mean not form-fitting, then yeah, probably Dust.

There's also Ultimate Shroud, which was Kitty Pryde in disguise. A full set of clothes with a covered face, and a big thick cloak on top of that.

But that's kind of cheating because the whole point was to hide not just her identity but gender too.

Pretty pointlessly because I recall people guessing Kitty and, like, no-one else immediately.

GBS had some thread about Vaporwave, and I think I found the image that inspired Jim Lee (or maybe Marc Silvestri, I can't find a solid source on when the yellow jacket first appeared) for Jubilee's most iconic look:

I just don't understand why anyone would ask Alex Ross or Jim Lee to design costumes, yet they keep doing it.
Can't answer the latter, but the former is because some of his Kingdom Come designs were dope. Skeleton Dead Man, black S superman, Red Robin. All cool

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when it comes to Red Robin. What's cool about it? It looks like someone took Dr. Midnite, stripped out the green, gave him a worse version of the helm from The Phantom of the Paradise, and then said "bandoliers to pull it all together." It didn't make me think "wow Dick Grayson grew up to be a badass." It made me think "Wow Dick Grayson turns into a frumpy loser."

Almost all the other designs from Kingdom Come I can get behind.

I know I'm in the minority, but I still love that costume of Psylocke's. It's very feminine and even sexy without being a one-piece bathing suit, and it shows that she was mostly a noncombatant (at least back then) who needed some extra protection. The hood and cape gave her a more "mysterious psychic" vibe.

Havok's classic costume, with the eggbeater on his head and the dog collar, is one of my all-time least-favorite costumes, though.

It's supposed to look like Keaton's Batman cowl without the pointy ears, but it's still a terrible costume. All of the Red Robin costumes have been terrible, the name is terrible, for that matter. I get the impression they didn't know what to do with Tim once Damian showed up but he deserved better.

Is it really a minority opinion? Psylock's costume there is fantastic, and reflects a much more interesting characterization than ninja-badass. Because EVERYONE is a ninja badass!

I also liked how her mask was open on top to allow her purple hair to flow free if the hood was down, but otherwise was a Flash/Captain America/Daredevil-style mask.

It doesn't help that Nightwing's actual design at the time, all black with the blue bird design and escrima sticks, was so good. Honestly the only way Dick Grayson was ever going to look cooler than that is by becoming Batman.

I'm on your side -- it was a good thing for her. She was just wearing plain clothes when Sabretooth showed up during the Mutant Massacre, and she barely made it out alive. I distinctly remember her taking a few knocks and surviving with her armored suit.

To be fair, the "just wearing some jewelry" look is how she was described in the original books. But then that was everyone on Mars as well.
