LoonShia posted:Gambit's costume really is a distillation of all things 90s. Cyclops had the same sort of thing for a while (with added pouches/straps!) but has since reverted to the full-body condom that defined his look for so long. I can only think that he needs only his face poking out as some kind of safety blanket. And that his hair gets really manky under it.

All Captain Britain costumes are terrible, though.

fatherboxx posted:Lionheart was alright, shame about the comics she starred in Trying to cram the Union Flag onto her mask makes it into a hot mess in most panels. The lion (shared with the originally Captain Britain costume) is again finicky and over-detailed. The twirls on the end of the staff bring to mind the EDL logo. The rest are pretty bland designs. The least-worst is the MI-13 costume, just because it doesn't lean so hard on the white, but they're all so based on jingoistic bullshit that they might as well be called Captain UKIP (or Captain Britain First in the case of Jack Staff).

McSpanky posted:You just need to invoke the right cultural memory. Instead of the Union Jack or the coat of arms, the chest symbol should be a Spitfire blowing away a Messerschmidt over the skies of London. Now I think about it, the RAF roundel is a much better symbol for a hypothetical Captain Britain. The other issue, of course, is "national" heroes in the first place. America's got what, Cap and USAgent? Captain Britain, Jack Staff, Spitfire, Union Jack, Excalibur... it's almost like heroes can't have a non-national identity until they operate in the US. I know that's down to the US being the major market, but still.

WickedHate posted:They did with the New 52. Haha oh wow someone got paid to come up with that. Apart from Batgirl, has the New52 come up with any new costumes that are actually, y'know, good? The new Supes, Flash, GL, and so on are just more-boring versions of their Silver Age costumes, only with panel lines for some reason. That Robin is gently caress-ugly.

fatherboxx posted:He actually had a feathery cape for a brief time in New 52 What I'm seeing is that the New 52 costume designers really want to be Rob Liefeld. Pouches! Straps! Random gems!

Senor Candle posted:That looks like an adult Superboy to me rather than a Superman. I don't know if that is a weird distinction. Looks like some 'roided up dick in a Superman t-shirt. So what you said.

x-posting from the Funny Panels thread, because I thought it was this one what with ragging on Wonder Woman's costumes. Jamie McKelvie had a crack at a redesign of Wonder Woman, just as a what-if. Tentatively, I like it.

Squizzle posted:OK folks, hear me out: We have Steve reppin' the blue, looks like he's doing a fine job there. So let's put Sam and Bucky in new suits, have Captain America Red and Captain America White. Then, we hire a choreographer to work out some three-man crimestopping dance routines and Bollywood Captain America? I'd watch that.
