I liked Doc with the short-lived Trenchcoat of Levitation, because he's still got the Eye on.

Whenever someone praises a costume in this thread, I feel like I'm the only person who can see color. Yeah, the design and cut of a costume is important, but so is color and there's nothing good about the combination of red, brown, black and white. Its loving garish.

It looks more yellow than brown to me, but if you get rid of the red cloak, you're going to get jerkoff fanboys ( :wave:

) bitching about it.

Flash was unconscious and the symbiote jumped around to the various GotG members briefly, that stuff's all over now. They're dealing with some symbiote homeworld thing right now so this must be what happens when that all shakes out.

Kind of a cool look, interesting to see that they're making him big and bulky again instead of the more sleek, agile Venom we've had for a while.

Is it still Flash inside there? I liked it when Flash-Venom was more sleek, because he was president of the Spider-Man fan club in high school, and I could see him wanting to look like his hero. :allears:

Dunno. Since he's hanging with the Guardians I'd assume he has access to decent prostheitcs, as long as Rocket doesn't need them for a scheme.

They got Jack Flag out of his wheelchair; I'd think new legs would be a snap for the space doctors.

Once again, The Flash provides us with the proper solution.

Flash has all the options you could ever need -- he could go home, scrub out some stains, put on the costume, and be back in time for the next panel.

That's Brother Voodoo MD and he is simply as surprised he still exists as I am.

The eighties called Marvel even they think Brother Voodoo may be irredeemably racist.

They called him Doctor Voodoo when they made him Sorcerer Supreme for a while. I thought it was pretty interesting, but it was one of those ongoings that got turned into a limited series, and then he was never seen again. :eng99:

The idea that Sorcerers Supreme are always medical doctors seems weird to me. Although I saw one alternate version described as "the Surgeon of Reality" in a short story, and I thought that was a pretty cool description.

I just got round to reading the Fraction/Aja Hawkeye run and is it weird that Clint/Kate's ordinary modern clothing with purple flourishes, accessorised by plasters and bandages - is kinda the coolest "costume" I've seen in a long time?

edit:
for reference - Kate looking awesome and totally avatar worthy.

I liked the Superboy costume when it was just him wearing a Superman T-shirt.

I found an absolute treasure-trove of redesigns for the official handbook of the marvel universe: http://ohotmuredux.blogspot.com/

It features a lot of obscure and oddball characters and the artists really do have some fun with the idea:

I laughed at first, but that's actually pretty good. The buckle is funny, and riding the tornado like a bull -- that's from a Pecos Bill story. I would argue in favor of a droopy mustache, but that's a small criticism.

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.

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.

Yeah her original design is a very good design because it fulfills the brief of "vampire pinup girl"perfectly. Like, in design terms, it's working perfectly as intended.

For all I know, there could be a long stretch of Vampirella that was written by Alan Moore and is pure genius, but all I know about her is what I get from seeing covers and posters and dolls in comic-book shops: vampire pinup girl.

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.

Ah, the 1977 "Fang" costume - now I understand WTF was going on with this outfit.

(From the story arc where Marvel Girl (Rachel Grey/Summers) got mindcontrolled into turning herself into a dinosaur. Specific book/issues not readily at hand.)

He took it off one of the Shi'ar imperial guardsmen.

I understand you want to put some clothes on when you're naked and in the middle of a big fight, but that seems like a lot of work. Is there a zipper? Or is the neck hole just so stretchy that everything goes in there?

But srsly, this movie would suck if they got the best screenwriter and director because it is still based on Power Rangers.

I think it's one of those things where if you watched it when you were a kid, you might think it was really great. I wouldn't be surprised if kids nowadays thought Thundarr the Barbarian sucked -- it didn't colonize their brains at the right time.

I love power rangers a million more times than most do. I watched every episode for the first like six series. I had every toy for years. I recognise that I am biased as hell.

That being said, half the fun was the terrible wire fu, the dumb bursts of sparks that happened when a plastic weapon hits someone, the terrible acting. The source material, once "rebooted" and updated by a committee of ad executives, is going to be unrecognisable and any take on the power rangers is going to super suck. This is the 2016-2017 version of the GI Joe movie, which is fitting, since those armored costumes look like something the Joes would use in GI Joe 3: Cobra Rising Again.

I was going to mention G.I. Joe in my post, but decided to go for something that was more obviously crap garbage, but which had laser swords. :blush:

OK, context: The current Wolverine arc revolved around a Big Mysterious Chest Of Stuff. SHIELD thought it was some kind of magical doodad/weapon, but all the agents they sent to check it out, including Old Man Logan disappeared. Turns out the chest was full of goop that is a pheremone that attracts space dragons, hence Fin Fang Foom comes and eats whoever opens the chest. The thing spills when Foom attacks the helicarrier, and Wolverine has to cover herself in the stuff and lead him away from the crashed carrier, and then strips, presumably lets him eat her costume or whatever, and borrows some of Captain Marvel's clothes to wear home.

Aha. She had to "give her clothes to FFF", so I assumed it was so that they could be worn. Thanks for the explanation. :tipshat:

Bayonetta is a good example of this design principle. Her outfit is all black but her guns (on her hands and feet) are bright red, so the player can read her animations easily (because they can always tell where her hands and feet are).
