Sure he's clearly wearing a dark Badass Longcoat, but it's not obvious it's leather.

Also, I don't think something from a video game on the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 (or even a few Wii games like Super Mario Galaxy) would be best anyway, since those lighting engines tend to make everything look glossy, even things that tend to "eat light" in real life.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

How about Blackhawk? There are a ton of possible images to choose from, but often with the opposite problem from the video game examples: sometimes they look like they might just be cloth.

This one suggests "leather" pretty effectively, and you don't get much more badass than standing atop a flaming swastika with twin .45s.

Jet-a-Reeno!

We could crop out the bottom though, just to avoid giving the wrong idea.

That particular picture of Wesker isn't the best example, which is why I suggest alternatives.

Here's Wesker's character from Marvel Vs Capcom 3 and his alternate colors. [1]

Again, it's on systems with lighting that is wrong for a lot of materials. That looks like a vinyl coat, not a leather one.

Going through the examples list, it suggests Xena. So, we have Xena and Callisto.

And while searching for Callisto, I came across Callisto from the X-men. Which also suggests Wolverine and apparently the entire cast of the movies.

Belief or disbelief rests with you.

Finally where I can GIS. How's this?

EDIT: [up] Of all of those, I like the Xena pic the best.

Looks pretty obvious to me and my eyes are shit.

[up] It's not bad, but there are several pics on this page that are a lot more obvious. I say it's time for a crowner.

Wolverine image is broken. Having trouble finding a good replacement, and can't actually remember what the image was originally.

I don't think I ever looked at the old pic...I switched out the pics in the Wolverine link; how's the new one?

Good. That might even have been the one it was before, or something similar.

Alright, it's been a week and Rob hasn't moved from the top spot, so I'm calling this. The new pic is up, potholed, and tagged. I'm out of ideas for captions, but I'll work on an Image Links page in the meantime.

Caption seems unnecessary. What could be said that the picture doesn't already?
