Black Bolt: One of Kirby's very best designs. The dark colors with the lighter colored streak, the cowl, the overall design lends itself to a larger than life character. Since Black Bolt dare not speak, his costume certainly makes a statement for him. He and Medusa make a very striking couple.
Storm: Another great look from Cockrum, influenced by 70s fashions. Storm costume is very pretty with the black with white shadowing, the yellow, and the red gem. Her lends a godly look as her people thought she was a weather goddess. The boots are fun and that flowing white hair all create a very imposing, yet good hearted character.

Great choice with the Black Panther. I think one reason he's always been one of my favorite Avengers is because of his look. Sleek, clean, foreboding, and just plain cool.

I echo dbutler69's comment: Black Panther's look is just plain cool. Sleek, stylish, mysterious, functional, flat out cool! A look that may be quite underrated by some, but the design is as cool today and it was in the 60s.
That last image you posted is from a set of Marvel cards that was a card game in the 70s. I had a set and the game was played sort of like Old Maid. You wanted to get rid of the Dr. Doom card or you lost the game, haha!

The Panther works best for me without all the accoutrements. The cape, collar, jewelry, etc. should be reserved for ceremonial occasions, as befits a king.
Far from the first feline-themed character, T'Challa nonetheless offers a fresh, even unique variation on the theme, that of a regal ruler not content to merely occupy the throne. He is a proud, noble, intelligent, and compassionate monarch who could probably teach the Sub-Mariner a thing or two.
ETA: I think it's important to note also that prior to the Black Panther, comics (with pitifully few exceptions) had a miserable track record in portraying characters of African descent. When they were featured at all, most were one-dimensional, ugly stereotypes. The Black Panther showed us an African hero who transcended those hackneyed representations to take his rightful place among the pantheon of truly great comic superheroes.

T'Challa's costume is perfect. Love those pinstriped gloves and boots.

The introduction of She-Hulk, Spider-Woman, and Ms. Marvel in the late 70s struck me, even as the teenager I was then, as the depths of cynicism on Marvel's part and was one of several factors that turned me away from the company around that time. I did not then and do not now see these derivative characters as a step forward for women in comics - quite the opposite, in fact, since so many of the strongest and most original female Marvel characters have been pretty consistently ignored or even downgraded over the years: Crystal, Thena, Sersi, Moondragon, and Mantis all come to mind, and I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing a few. Paty Cockrum wrote a great letter to an industry publication back in the (I think) early 80s where she made fun of the "derivative female heroes" trend suggesting a female version of the Vision called "Vision of Loveliness." She even included a cute drawing. |
