They should've made Cassandra Cain Black Bat again, and then we could have China's Finest.

Anyway, I heard that in the old comics there was a super secret island of Black Kryptonians on Krypton, who opted to live segregated from, you know, normal Kryptonians. I think that got written out pretty fast or retconned into being just "a place."

I just realized what his costume reminds me of: he looks like those Chinese Commie "evil mirror of a hero" villains Marvel kept making in the 60s and 70s. He looks like Superman's Crimson Dynamo.

The Unicorn is a guy with a laser hat and a shirt with a shirt with a pony on it. He's scarier than a guy with a knife, but not, like, two guys with knives.

Warpath, a guy whose mutant power is being EXTRA Indian! It's kind of impressive he never had a Superfriends-level ethnic quota costume (that I recall).

The red and blue costume with all the fringe is pretty rough yeah, but his X-Force black and silver costume wasn't offensive at least. He just looked like Wolverine #4

So I know the dread spectre of Brand Synergy has been known to be an issue when it comes to superhero costumes, but can they please put Elektra in the Netflix costume ASAP? For reference, what both costumes look like in Marvel Heroes:   Much better, wouldn't you agree?

Sorry that expressing my opinion offends you so much, but I'm going to keep doing it. Picklepuss posted:Not at all, but if this had to happen it'd be nice if the one on the left was at least red. I suppose this is kind of a collision between what's 'iconic' and more practical stuff.

It shouldn't be red because the red ninja outfit in Daredevil looks hilariously ridiculous. "I am Nobu! My mother just dropped me off at the costume shop and when she gets back I will totally destroy Orange Julius!"

Picklepuss posted:It's probably just me showing my age. I get why Elektra dresses like that in the TV show, and why the movie Falcon looks like a SWAT guy with mechanical wings, etc... but part of what I've always loved about comics are the fantastic and colorful costumes. For me, replacing them with realistic outfits take away from the escapism and fun. Nah I'm with you. Realism in superhero comics is slowly draining the joy out of the genre and I sure hope this trend swings the other way soon.
