I like the X-visor as a fresh idea, but the randomness of the rest of the costume throws me a bit. It doesn't fit the X theme or any of his other past looks. I love number 12 on there, but I've always had a soft spot for well done minimalism.

The X visor rules. That it's not in the "X theme" is precisely the point, because this is his costume for when he's firmly broken away from the X-men having murdered Xavier - there are common elements such as the piping being similar to his 11/12 suits (which also serves as the common element across his team) and the 'classic 90s'-style X buckle, but it's supposed to be a departure because that's exactly what the story behind it is. I like the dramatic piping a lot more than the standard "we have to hide an X on this outfit" approach, which often breaks down - I was late to respond to the thread but in instances like this: Decius posted:Jean Grey's new costume is pretty bad:

I can appreciate the cleanliness, and breaking away from the past with his look. Though the X visor and his team still using the X-Men name don't really keep with that. I just dislike that there's no meaning to the placement of the lines. They're just there. And there's a ring around his neck for...some reason, that clashes with the square angles of all the other lines.

It's no X-visor, but I loved the Morrison-era visor. I loved how it wore over the ears like mutant sunglasses, and I loved how goddamn thin the lens was usually drawn. It looked like he was ready to fire razorblade slice-beams from his face. But I like Morrison and his NXM is easily my favorite X-books of all time, so I'm crazy biased. e: Travis343 posted:I love Scott's X-face outfit. Nobody shook up his visor design since 1963! How does that happen? Ah yes, the Simonson Archangel Effect. Squizzle fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Feb 22, 2016 |

I like the X-Factor "no, we're normal humans, honest" costumes. Always thought they looked decent. It's a lot harder to find pictures of them than I had expected.

I like a lot of those designs but I'm kind of wondering what firestorm does as a character? Like I think I read a JLA book with him in it once. Designing a character to fit in with the role and the setting of their story is part of what makes a character design work or not, and with firestorm I'm kind of lost. Is he one of those superheroes that is only popular enough to show up in like, superhero groups? Where does he live? It also bums me out that none of those designs really call notice to the fact that there's two people working together to control him, which seems to be kind of a unique selling point for the character.

I think his main thing is changing elemental properties and atomic structures and stuff. The voice in the head is the smarter science guy of the duo going "Hey, using the molecules in the air we could turn the solid pavement into sand, cushioning that lady's fall!" to the dumber guy who's actually driving the superhero. The costume designs represent atoms and elements and stuff, I guess. It would be fun if someone tried to redesign him with two heads. I don't think the solo comics ever last too long.

Firestorm has managed to die twice on this season of the Flash, and a 3rd Firestorm was told he's one of the most unimportant superheroes in history.

When he was originally created, Firestorm's role was to be "young novice hero" compared to established heroes like Batman, Superman, etc. -- especially since, as pointed out upthread, the active half of him was a teenager so he could be impulsive and overconfident. He's had his own solo books over the years and also been a JLA member.

Firestorm was known as the POV character during his time on the JLA. Teams often have a younger novice hero that they can explain everything to the reader through.

Two characters who should look extremely goofy and corny and unique: FIrestorm and Alan Scott. POOFY SLEEVES. I like the giant design above the same way I liked the monstrous Metamorpho from Travel Foreman. Superheros should have more distinct body archetypes.

So, bad series but I really liked what Mrs Deadpool and the Howling Commandos did with the costume for the mummy: He's more lithe and rogueish than a lurching brute, and they wrapping-scarf, one eyed mask and gold bracelets do a lot to make the character visually distinct and break up the simple lines of the costume without sacrificing any fidelity to the classical monster. His wrappings are also one-off magical scrolls, D&D style, which is a cool/smart way to use the costume itself and riffs on the actual book of the dead preparations! Hell of a bulge for a dead guy, as well.

ChrisChross mustve had a stickler for an editor cuz all they did was combine some of Chross's facial design elements (namely making Firestorm a Black Man) with Ronnies costume (sans puffy sleeves)

We're apparently getting Batman's new ongoing costume designed by Greg Capullo at the end of today's Batman #50. I hope there's a bright yellow emblem again. I loved the short lived Batman Inc suit so much.

^I endorse these opinions. In the whole sweep of Batman comics, the Inc. costume is one of the very best get-ups any Batman has worn.

It's always drawn with a very prominent codpiece. Like in the early issues of Inc there's a drawing with a little cameltoe seam on it too.

What, you think Morrison was going to let anyone doubt that Bruce has huge junk? I assume that was a parenthetical direction on every page of the script.

I know DC is embarrassed of the diaper looks Batman and Supes have been rocking for ages, but I think a better compromise would be to have the entire pants part be black instead of having the usually diapered area suddenly stick out like that.

BMan #50 is out and...  Gotta say, I think Zero Year and Jim Gordon's are much more interesting Capullo designed suits. We'll see. I haven't read past that page yet.
