Costumes In Need of Updating...

[Mr. Green]

The location of the X...

 

[The Infernal]

Iron Man. I think he's had the Extremis look a bit too long. Although I'm not his biggest follower so he could possibly have had little changes here and there without me noticing, but I'm talking about an entire design overhaul. It could possibly mark his recovery from Secret Invasion.

Cyclops. Not a big fan of his current costume. I've always wanted something that harks back to the old yellow and blue design like the old cartoon.

Ronin/Hawkeye (oops, spoilers. lol). I think Hawkeye should just ditch the current Ronin garb. I was sick of the design fairly quickly. Even more so with the Ultimate Ronin. There was a cover for one of the first New Avengers comic around the time of the Rykers jailbreak that had a different Ronin design and I thought that looked better.

 

[Mr. Green]

Hawkeye just needs a NOT-purple costume. The Ronin look is way better, IMO.

 

[RockSP]

Never liked Rages yellow mask

Rage's "costume" is terrible. Both he and Debrii need actual costumes...not just clothes (or in Rage's case...s&m outfit)

 

[Colossal Spoons]

So over the Ronin look. Clint isn't a ninja or a samurai in any way shape or form lol

 

[Mr. Green]

True, but he is a master swordsman and he could probably do some work with ninja stars...

But I would take a ninja outfit over that purple Hawkeye getup anyday. Maybe have the original costume in black? Or a different one altogether?

Yeah, Rage looks horrible. I also hate how his size keeps changing in New Warriors

 

[Mr. Green]

You mean he's not in the Initiative anymore?

Hes on a team called Counterforce (or something) led by Justice, with Debrii and Slapstick. Bascially they sound like they want to be like Initiative Internal Affairs.

 

[Mr. Green]

Crazy. Is Counterforce a part of the 50 state Initiative or did he drop out of that one altogether?

 

[cerealkiller182]

Dont think its one of the 50 teams?

Rage has had a few costume changes,

and now he is back to:

But I don't think they have found his definitive look yet.

 

[cerealkiller182]

the last costume could be a lot better with a different mask.

I think the Night Thrashers costume (the one he wore when he died) would suit Rage better than NT

 

[Artistsean]

Night Thrasher has gone through some changes too,

But I don't know about his new costume either.

I heard Bob Kane say that a simple costume is best. Something with a simple message too. Something that the audience will instantly get, and I think something that speaks about your character. Either about his origin, his motives, his personality, or all of it, might help.

Then again, some characters are about their costumes and the costumes come second to their own character. And sometimes a character doesn't need a costume, like Luke Cage.

 

[cerealkiller182]

That mask would be real good for Rage. Possibly the whole suit.

I like NTs new look. ITs different but familiar

 

[Artistsean]

Maybe Night Thrasher could wear a total SWAT type outfit. complete with all the gear, pouches, buckles, belts, guns, and all that.

And then all he needs is like a reoccurring Night Thrasher logo, like the Punisher symbol. Or something, then he could be all about the gear he uses. Lots of different high tech SWAT type gear. I don't know much about this new guy, but maybe he could be like V from the movie or something, and become more a nameless, faceless, symbol of the resistance to the Hero Initiative Act.

Mucha Lucha

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Mix the costumes in the first and third Rage pics and he'd look pretty good.

 

[Artistsean]

Maybe he could have a bio hazard, toxic waste, radioactive, type theme to his costume, like a symbol or something,
since he got his powers from toxic waste.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

But roughly 3/4ths of the major characters at Marvel all got their powers from radiation or toxic waste.

 

[Kitsune]

I've always wanted something that harks back to the old yellow and blue design like the old cartoon.

Speaking of cartoons. Has anyone seen any designs from the New X-Men toon for Nick?

 

[Artistsean]

I think there are several, sneak peaks at least, over in the Wolverine and the X-Men forum, that is within the X-men forum.
I don't know if there are any full on character model sheets yet though.

Yeah, but the whole gun thing wouldn't really work. Isn't lethal force not really Night Thrasher's thing? But it would be cool to have that more SWAT look to him-- a LOT better than that Roller Ball look he has going on now.

I don't if NT really needs a symbol like Spidey's spider symbol or Batman's bat, Supes' S, or Punisher's skull. Plenty of characters have been just as iconic without it: Wolverine, Hulk, Iron Man... Iconic as they are, they need no special symbol, and their it is simply unnecessary or unfitting for certain characters, particularly less iconic B and C-listers.

Is Black Knight still in his biker garb from MI 13?
If so I'd definitely like his costume to be redesigned in a way truer to his original costume.

Same thing with American Eagle, his original costume was a tad goofy, yet they could of updated it without just making him a guy on a bike with a peculiar helmet... Its lazy and uninspired.
