OK. The Comet? To be fair, he didn't really have a chance to reconsider his look, what with all the bullets flying.   Who else? Black Terror? Fighting Yank? The Comet had this look  |

I'm thinking of a Marvel Character that started in the Silver age.

Good one! I'm glad they never tried to put him in a leisure suit! Tightie-whities never go out of style. It's a wonder they haven't tried to mess with it, because that seems to be the instinct - change for the sake of change, if there's no other reason. I think the Black Panther's all-black uniform with blue highlights has the same simple effectiveness as the Silver Surfer's look, so it always feels like a mistake to me when they try to jazz it up with necklaces or gold ear-rings or whatever it is they put on there. |

Maybe this should be a separate thread but all this talk of different costumes and which ones work best makes me wonder if the question can be narrowed down to a few general rules or if it has to be er, tailored to the individual character. I think the latter: there's a big difference between the relatively elaborate designs of some of my favourite costumes - e.g. Barda, Valkyrie - and the very simple designs of others - e.g. the afore-mentioned Black Panther.

Hmm, Plastic Man, maybe?  (Cue Icctrombone with an image of the pouch-tastic, armored Liefeld re-design that lasted for one month in 1993  ) |
